The Abs Diet Audiobook
The Abs Diet Audiobook
I really, really, really hate diet books. I do. I hate them so much that I’m not even sure why I gave this one a chance, except that I subscribe to Men’s Health magazine, which I love, and I’ve been frustrated with my efforts at the gym of late.
The science makes a lot of sense here, I suppose, but here’s what bugged me, what bugs me about all this kind of stuff: we all grew up knowing what was healthy, what was good for us, etc. I can’t stand it when "experts" try to tell us that the things we’ve known all along are wrong, are lies, are actually THE THINGS THAT ARE KILLING US. This book engages in less of that than most diet and health books, which is good, but it did just enough that when I was listening to it - usually at the gym, oddly enough - that I’d occasionally have to grit my teeth and try not to scream. Still, I guess I won’t be able to post a real review of it until six weeks from now, will I?

Nathan,
I started this program, using the online version, about three weeks ago. I had been dieting and working out for a year but I hit a serious plateau. The first week I lost 6 lbs, 4 in the second. I went to Houston on the third week where massive amounts of alcohol and red meat where consumed, but I stayed at the same weight regardless. I would highly recommend checking out the online companion to the book.
