I actually heard of this book on my about.com stop smoking forum. I had quit smoking a year ago and gained 35 pounds. It was mentioned and I looked it up, read the reviews, went to Wendy's site in Florida, and ordered the book. I also am 52 and have gone through menopause. What intrigued me was 1) it claimed to work through plateus and keep metabolism high and 2) it made so much sense. I wouldn't have to sacrifice my health to lose weight some crazy way. It had been decades since i had been on a diet, and I cringed to start anything rigid. That was 6 weeks ago and 15 pounds. I found the forum immediately and my husband and I both have lost lots of weight, but even more, inches and sizes. I have not been hungry, in fact, sometimes I need to eat more often. There are cheat days and high carb days built in, and I've just trusted, and it has worked amazingly. Everyone notices and I am down 2 sizes. By being on the forum, I see this is working for everyone, even petite people that only want to lose 10 pounds. It gives me constant and smooth energy because I'm putting good things in my body every 3-4 hours. It is also the most forgiving diet. I messed up halloween night, and the next morning I had lost 2.5 more pounds. Because it is real and not a gimmick it is away to eat forever. Anybody could live their life eating this way and be satisfied. It also is not rigid. It teaches how to combine foods, to usually eat "clean carbs" before 3pm, except on cheat days, where nothing is forbidden (even alcohol!). Wendy even takes the time to try and answer our questions, but we're getting better and better at answering our own. Now that her book has hit best seller and been mentioned on Oprah, it will revolutionize weight loss. A slim body is available to anyone now. It also does not cost a lot of money and allows us to be quite creative. but the best thing is how healthy it is. my skin is clear, I'm happy and energized. I can't say enough!!!

A workable food program that anticipates and allows for life's food-centered events November 5, 2008
Alissa V. Maxwell (Vancouver, Washington)
I bought this book in August, because...well...The Title! Crack the Fat Loss Code?? SIGN ME UP!!
I recently experienced a lengthy separation and divorce which of course led me to pack on about 30 pounds and then Mother Nature had the audacity to place my 40th birthday in there. I had always been able to shed 10 or 20 pounds in the past, but not this time! I had been struggling to regain my past figure for a few years to no avail...the same stuff just was not working! I was sitting on the dreaded 40 Plateau! I exercised 3-6 times a week...then added a few double workouts a day so I could see a change, on the scale, in the mirror, in my clothes...SOMETHING. Nothing.
Upon reading this book...I began to plan and change. I started the program in the last week of August 2008, followed the program to the letter, slipped a bit, adjusted (as this program allows) to get back on track, modified to allow for the events of life (birthdays, holidays, special events) AND I LOST POUNDS AND INCHES. By the end of my first 8 week cycle, I was eating MORE food than I ever had before...never felt deprived, was always satisfied and had even more energy to workout and enjoy my three young kids. My fitness coach (at my local gym) took my pre and post measurements. In 8 weeks I had lost 15 pounds, reduced my body fat percent by 4% and lost more than 16.5 inches off my body! I lost 6.5 inches off my hips and 8.5 off my waist. I was astounded...i had been feeling my pants fall off me and the rest of my clothes began to hang on me but I was absolutely shocked!
I have had more success on this program with NO GUILT, MORE FOOD and COMPLETE FLEXABILITY in my meal plans...I love it and I would recommend it to anyone who has stalled and is frustrated on that "Diet" Plateau :)
Thank you for reading this...are you ready for a change?
DIET NO - NEW LIFESTYLE YES! November 3, 2008

I love this way of eating (WOE)! I'm currently finishing up my 2nd round of the 8 week cycle, I'm down 25lbs (effortlessly), and numerous inches. There is science behind this WOE and it works. I have never felt better and have lost the FAT while enjoying my favorite foods.
I will be honest the first week is difficult, but oh so worth it. I lost all my cravings. The following weeks were a piece of cake and when i got to my Carb Up day I ate my pizza and enjoyed my pasta and didn't stuff. My daughter had her 4th bday the following week and I was able to stop at 1 piece of cake! I normally would have finished that cake off by the next morning. This WOE is so liberating it is scary.
My advice for anyone thinking of doing this program:
1. Follow WEEK 1 exactly and use those protein shakes to help with those sweet cravings
2. Drink YOUR WATER
3. Exercise
4. Eat at least every 4 hours
5. Throw out your scale and use those jeans (we all have them in the back of our closet - you know the ones) I'm finally in mine again!
6. ENJOY It - I'm having a blast and enjoying everything I put in my mouth and if you really want something a Carb Up day is only a few days away!
Thank you Wendy Chant! You have given me my LIFE Back. Give it 8 weeks - what have you got to lose, but inches?!

I love this book!
I am on week 4, I have lost weight and not only that, lots of inches!
I really feel like this is a way of life NOT A DIET!!
I have learned so much!
Like many of you reading this, I have tried everything and failed because diets DON'T work...this is not a diet, it is a new way of eating sensibly! Hey, what plan says you can still have wine and chocolate??? this one does!
You will love it! check it out!!
