No
diet is the only way, many things work and this
diet apparently makes it easy for the type that wants to follow rigid rules and be told exactly how to do something. If it works for them then I would definitely without a doubt say its money well spent. I'd sure pay money if I was assured of getting rid of my remaining
fat.
But I know it would never work for me because I'm not at all the type that follows rigid rules. I break my own rules every single day..I am very easy going on myself HAHA. Hence probably why I'm still 13 lbs overweight and on a plateau aside from mostly calorie shifting/zig zagging whatever you wanna call it for the past few years. I lost about 35 lbs doing that approach, just cuz some days I have more will power than others or am hungrier or busier, but it sure hasn't worked in months.
But obviously these fad type diets dont really work forever, with the proof being in the fact that it appears our OP is no longer on the plan. If she was, I bet she'd still be on here telling us about her success with the book and trying to prove the
diet doubters wrong as she was before.
