This is a great resource for learning about the low-carb diet! Very informative with lots of facts about the health benefits of eating low-carb, especially for weight loss. The book contains experiences from a few of the patients that used this method of eating with great success. The back of the book contains a few recipes and sample meal plans for the three phases of the diet so that you can be successful in losing and maintaining weight.

I love that this book was written by a physician that specializes in obesity. I have seen documentaries that postulate that losing weight by calorie counting and exercise doesn't work. This is the basis of this book. The author gives you a formula and eating plan very similar to the keto diet, but he believes that the number of carbs are different for each individual. Each person has to determine how many carbs they can eat and lose weight. He stated that for a lot of people, the total of carbs is 75 or lower. He gives you scientific evidence to back his theory. This appeals to the scientist in me. I'm very excited to try the diet, and i can't wait until his blog and app are up and running. I think that if you're struggling to lose weight by counting calories, you should buy this book.

Not what I thought it was going to be. There were only three recipes in the book, although there was a sample two week menu. Essentially the book can be boiled down to this : track your carbs and eliminate until you start to drop weight. Just not what I was looking for.

Thanks for this book. It’s a great start for anyone new to dieting. I personally enjoyed the phase one chapter. That’s where I learned the most. .

This book helped dissuade me of some of my long standing beliefs about weight-management. My take away: It's not your fault if you struggle to maintain a healthy weight. That's groundbreaking thought. It's a shift in how we look at the struggle to lose weight. This book also delves into the science behind why it's not your fault and gives practical ways to lose weight and, more importantly, maintain a healthy weight. I found the weight loss/weight management tips to be helpful and fresh ideas that probably wouldn't take much effort. I'll be trying this book's suggestions out... including the One Simple Consistent Change.

Good information but I didn’t find a lot that I didn’t already know. It is simple to read and can be useful for many. Encouraging book and idea as he takes away the feeling that a persons weight is completely their own fault. That idea alone will help many.

The No Guesswork Diet book is from obesity Dr. Hunt. The book is not so much a recipe book (there are only 3) but a guide with a LOT of information upfront. Dr. Hunt gives a 14 day meal guide at the end of the book that can be used based on your carb number goal. He stresses tracking and planning and a three phase program.

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Wow what a great detailed and informative book! Not another fad diet book as this had some great scientific research to back up the information. I learnt so much from this book that hadn't occurred to me before and the way the body handles carbohydrates really resonated with me. I've also got some great meal and snack ideas for my fitness journey.
