   My husband and I went on the Abs Diet last year and did great. I saw this new book and thought maybe I could tailor the Abs Diet for me, as a woman. I thought things would be a little more differentiated, but the changes from the “men’s” book are minimal. The recipes and basic concepts are the same. A lot of the book focuses on post-baby weight, which is not my concern (yet). The testimonials are from women and the exercises are photos of women, but other than that, it’s not really any different than the men’s version. If you’re both trying out the diet, you might as well stick to the men’s version and save a few bucks. But, if it’s just you (and you’re a woman), then give this “diet” a shot.

   We had great results and felt a lot better eating the recommended foods. Beyond that, you don’t even start the exercises ’til you’re 3 weeks into the program! Great for those who need to ease into a new diet/program.

   Received the book late with no returned correspondance
   Having read the previous reviews, I sent three communication emails to this seller to maintain accountability, communication, and ensure that I receive the product I paid for.

   I gained almost 10lbs
   I am a stay at home mother of 3. I had only 10 lbs left to loose after my 3rd baby but was stuck so I tried this. It did not work.

   I found this book to be very interesting and helpful, yet a lot of the information in here isn’t necessarily new. There is talk about how you can use foods to try to prevent osteoporosis, what to eat when you are going through menopause, how to cope with joint pain and also includes a stress relieving workout.
   David is the Mens Health magazine editior in chief. He’s knowledgable and he knows his stuff. You can trust that this information is accurate and very helpful.
   The principles behind this book is that good abs begin in the kitchen more than in the gym. You really have to eat right; a variety of foods, healthy fats, good for your carbs, lean proteins and foods that speed up your metabolism. ABS stands for Almonds, Beans and Spinach (and other green vegetables). DIET stands for Dairy (low fat), Instant Oatmeal (or foods that take longer to digest and keep you fuller longer), Eggs (the better kind of protein for muscle) and Turkey (another lean protein).
   I like this book because as you read through it, you realise that not only do you need to do cardio, but you need to be so aware of what you cook and eat and being concious of all these foods, helps you make all the right choices (hopefully).

   Great, as always
   Not only have I been looking for this book forever, but I found it easily on Amazon. I bought it new for a great discount and it arrived within a few days.

   My friends at work and I were so excited when we saw the article in Women’s Health Magazine giving two week menu’s and the basics of this “way of life”. We bought the book. The three of us religiously followed it for one month. Disappointingly, not one of us lost one inch of “belly fat” or any weight at all. Surprisingly, we all agreed that while it did not live up to the promise of “1 inch of belly fat in 2 weeks” it totally changed our way of eating. All of a sudden we all had lots of energy and felt physically wonderful. All three of us have agreed that we have not felt this energetic in years. While the book did not live up to the promise of flatten your belly in six weeks, it certainly is worth reading just to feel “physically” better.

   Not a good format for the Kindle
   I would not recommend purchasing the kindle version of this book. The charts are very small and unreadable and you cannot increase the size.

    Great gift to yourself and your body
    This book is a healthy, no-nonsense approach to eating and changing your lifestyle, not going on a “diet.

    Worth the read
    I have skipped around the chapters. This seems like a do-able approach to better eating and lifestyle for a mid-thirty something, that’s me, who has taken on a husband, a new biz…

    It’s OK
    I thought the book has great information, some not really a plan. I need to follow a well rounded, layed out plan and this was not it.
