As a woman who is eagerly learning of new weight loss strategies to fend of the curse of 'middle-age spread' and 5 newfound pounds, I have been reading up on how the body processes foods we ingest. From what I've read I can definitely agree with the ideology that carbs turn into sugar and they are what creates stubborn weight gain when eaten in excess. Excess doesn't necessarily correlate with eating large amounts of food, more like the amount of sugar that is in even a reasonable portion. This book gives some good insight into how the process works as opposed to low-fat and low-calorie diets. Although I do feel the '100 gram' restriction is pretty small, there is much to take from this book for a better way to eat, tweaked with your own experimenting where you can include a little higher carb count and still live healthy and lose weight gradually and keep it off as a lifestyle.

As I begin to struggle with pre-diabetes--which is actually a carbohydrate metabolism disease--I am looking for diet ideas to implement in my life. I thought this book was well written, easy to read, and not as extreme as some other books I've recently read. The author also gives food lists and recipes. Very helpful and very practical.

I really enjoyed this book. It's simple to follow. Provides you with a shopping list. I tried it and it worked for me. I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. I didn't realize how much of my diet was full of carbs. GREAT book!

Not be confused with the book based on the TV show of the same name. This is a great companion book to my favorite book (besides the Bible), 'The Case Against Sugar,' by Gary Taubes (who is Cruise's mentor in this book). A great plan to transform your eating habits painlessly.

Great refresher on the impact of sugar and carbs! This is a nice and simple read, gets straight to the point and was full of helpful information on how to harness your health. Recommended even for seasoned low carb eaters.

The traditional advice we get whenever we want to lose weight is : Eat less, move more! It works but sometimes its not effective for everyone! this is what Jorge Cruise explains in his book. Counting calories is not the ultimate solution for losing weight and maintaining long term health. Its not about the quantity of the food only its also the quality of what you are eating which most of the people don't consider it nowadays. Jorge Cruise Philosophy of losing weight is: you don't have to count the calories of Protein and fat, just count the calories of sugar/carbs you eat in your day which should not be more then 100 calories per day as the main cause of gaining weight is the high level of insulin in our bodies! Once we can control the production of this hormone, our bodies are more capable of releasing extra fat and losing weight. Jorge Cruise introduces his book with the history of gaining weight as people started to get obese gradually in the Era of Agriculture when the ancient people started to process raw wheat to flour & the formation of sugar from sugarcane. At that point of time, our eating habits started to change by shifting from Protein & fats to consuming large quantity of carbs. After that, Jorge explains briefly what does sugary calories means, how we can count it and how we can maintain our new food habits without consuming high calories of sugar/carbs. Personally, I have enjoyed reading the book as I was not aware about many nutritional facts and info, However, adopting Jorge's philosophy of consuming only 100 calories of sugar/ carbs would be effective but not in a long term. at end, our social life style has changed comparing to before! Balancing your food and your MACROS will show you good results! I have lost 15kg of fat and I was eating 500 calories of sugar/carbs per day! Nothing is impossible and you can lose weight in different ways. but it depends on you if you want to lose fat fast or gradually!

It was so interesting that this book showed how history effected food studies and the science that was used in America. I'm also glad that Jorge also included a section on how corporations who depend on sugar consumption to remain profitable use money to sway people in power to believe that sugar isn't bad for us. It's only logical that they would keep the evils of sugar from the public as much as possible. I loved that a calorie is defined in this book I always wondered what exactly one was, haha! I look at them so much differently now! This is a low carb diet book so a lot of this has been said before but this book explains it all in simple terms :)

I've already started cutting my sugar this morning at coffee with just milk. I liked the information about sugar and the history of diet throughout the ages. I also enjoyed listening to how sugar affects the body and how it's processed throughout your body. There were some good motivational ideas in this book and I look forward to cutting back on my sugar. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in their diet and information on health. This book does not talk much about fitness only at the end on the book. I'm not sure how I feel about what he said but it was good information.

I can understand why alot of people don't like it because it contradicts to what we have come to know as "healthy eating with excerise" (calorie counting). Loved how the book broke down past history and developments that have effected many people today. While reading i didn't agree what he was saying at first but then he broke it down and i'd say he did a good job of research to come up with this information. Going to try it out.
