Book Review: Perfect Plan for Me
Summary: 5 Stars
As a long-time exerciser and dieter, I have been all over the spectrum, from underweight, to "just right," to overweight. This diet really gathers all the things that put me in that "just right" zone and makes it easy to see why those practices worked so well for me.
The Glucomannan, contrary to a previous post, is really not a "gimicky" thing. It's a suggested supplement that truly helps aid me in feeling more satisfied and, um, regular (if ya know what I mean). It does make your food thicker - the book is clear on this. It doesn't make food grainy, though - at least not in my experience. Again, you have to experiment and find out which foods you like with the Gluocomannan, and then try to work those foods into your diet as often as possible.
With the low-carb or moderate-carb plans available to choose from, I think there's something reasonable for every woman out there with this plan. And really...don't we all know how we react to carbohydrates already? Despite the establishment which repeats the silly "Food Triangle" plan which centers upon carbohydrates as a blanket policy, that 9-11 servings a day of grains/starch doesn't work for everyone. And many woman process carbs differently...I know I do. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in 2007, and this diet has allowed me to lose about 3 lbs. already (and I've only been on it 2 weeks). And I haven't been hungry.
As for the workouts, I think they are great. I love to go in the gym and lift hard, and this plan (I'm a pear) allows me to satisfy that with my upper body workouts, while still giving me the right guidance on how to train my lower body and how to structure my cardio plan.
I am happy to give this book a great recommendation. Like with any plan...if you want it to work, you have to give it two things: 1) 100% of your effort, and 2) a little time.

Summary of Women's Health Perfect Body Diet: The Ultimate Weight Loss and Workout Plan to Drop Stubborn Pounds and Get Fit for Life
Let?s face it?women simply do not shed pounds or build muscle as easily as men do. Drawing on fascinating recent research that has shed new light on the gender differences in food metabolism and the effect of exercise, the editors of Women?s Health, the healthy lifestyle magazine for today?s active woman on the go, have devised a weight-loss plan that works especially well for women who would like to lose 5-25 pounds. Key features of Women?s Health Perfect Body Plan include:
- Glucomannan, a soluble fiber that helps dieters feel full faster?and therefore eat less throughout the day
- Meal plans that contain at least 40 grams of fiber per day
- An adjustment for the impact of female hormones on weight loss (women need a higher protein diet than men to increase lean body tissue and decrease body fat)
- Dieting techniques that revolve around psychological needs and personal goals and lifestyle
- Two diet plans to choose from?one higher in fats and lower in carbs; the other higher in carbs and lower in fats (simple food tests help women choose the type they need)
