 Super first half but confusing complicated diet November 6, 2008

As a fan of the original Superfoods book (which is one of the best books on nutrition I've ever read) I was eager to give the diet version a try. The first half of this book is great - just like the original Superfoods. It gives terrific information on how nutrients in the superfoods themselves help to stimulate weight loss. It's very clear and actually kind of exciting because you get excited when you learn that some of the nutrients actually speed weight loss. This goes beyond calorie counts and it was new and interesting information for me. But then you get to the diet itself and, oh boy.... I was overwhelmed. It's just too complicated. I kept trying to figure out how to juggle these different categories and the special drinks and then I just gave up. It's too bad that the diet itself has to be such a challenge to follow. I'm going to keep eating the superfoods but I'll have to find some other diet book to help me lose weight.
 Too complicated! October 12, 2008

Aaaack! Excellent nutritional information, but twice I've picked up this book and twice I've put it back down in sheer frustration, finding it much too complicated to incorporate the information into a fully inclusive meal plan. Category 1 foods are confusing--in one place in the book it states the user should eat 1 serving from Category 1 every day. In another place in the book it states the user should eat 1 serving of EACH of the Category 1 foods every day. Which is it? I need a table with boxes to check off in order to put together a complete meal plan--the one in the book is incomplete. It should offer check off boxes for the number of daily servings required from each category. Perhaps I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. At this point the most I'm willing to do is to make a list of the superfoods and incorporate them into my regular diet. Forget the complicated meal planning.

This book is loaded with awesome information! Once you understand exactly how this work, it is very easy. It can be a little difficult to digest all of the information. There is so much, that it may be intimidating to some. The food is good, and the results are great! I lost 9# my first week. I rarely feel hungry. I find it hard most of the time to consume all of the food you are supposed to. If you are considering getting this book, just get it. I feel it is worth every penny I spent.
Confusing, dissappointing, hard to use July 2, 2008

I'd rate this a 2-1/2 stars if I could. This book is just plain hard to use. I have Dr. Platt's original Superfoods book which I loved. And, I was looking forward to a book that would show me how to "put it all together."
The recipes are not inspired. There are no calories or carbohydrate grams listed. And, for those of us that need to count carbs, calories, or points, that is a problem.
I did like some of the ideas. But, I'm a mix and match kind of person.
Give me a list of ideas on how to include these foods in my current recipes.
I found David Grotto's 101 Foods That Can Save Your Life MUCH more helpful. And, his recipes are tastier. Many of David's recipes have more than one superfood. Plus, they have nutritional information on them. He even has a week-long 2000-calorie menu in the back of the book.
So, I've been using David Grotto's 101 Foods, Chef Nancy Berkof's Vegan Menus For People With Diabetes, and Jorge Cruise's 3-Hour Diet Cookbook.
I can't fault the information in The Superfoods Diet. It's the execution that I had a hard time with

Does the author of this book have any taste buds at all? I think not
