The New Abs Diet for Women: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life

Very interesting and informative book, the diet isn't as easy to follow as it makes out if you are doing it for one but the meals and snacks are tasty and Healthy. Would be good to have a British version though so you don't have to keep looking up conversions and British names for certain foods. Exercise routines are excellent

Good ideas but as it is written for the US markets there is a lot of americanism.

Please, make the print bigger. I think the letters are too small.I usually order kindle :(Thank you.

I enjoy following the Abs Diet which is really a long-term sensible eating plan rather than a weight-loss regime. The food is very healthy, and concentrates on developing muscle while cutting the fat. It includes an exercise programme that can easily be done at home with a couple of hand weights or in the gym. The New Abs Diet book has some extra science in it, but the diet itself remains fundamentally the same. Also, this book 'for Women' is not that much different than the standard Abs Diet book. However, if you haven't bought your copy yet, I would recommend this to anyone who has had enough of the low-fat or low-carb plans. The Abs Diet strikes a sensible middle way between these two, and combined with the exercise has really helped me shape up. I don't feel I'm on a diet, but I do feel that I've been given excellent guidelines for a lifetime of healthy eating that will keep me fit for life.

I gave this book 4 stars only because, despite being hailed as "New!", author Dave Zinczenko has done further research for his new book "Zero Belly Diet" that replaces some of the info in this book. That being said, I am impressed with the evidence-based research used to write this book and that is cited throughout. I am a nurse and will soon have my Master's degree in Nursing as a Nurse Practitioner. My specialty is diabetes, so healthful eating is part of my gig. Evidence-based research is also important to me so I can feel comfortable and confident in sharing data with my patients, as well as putting it to use for myself and my family. The science is sound yet it is well written so you do not have to be in healthcare, nor a nutritionist, so understand it. The recipes in this book are certainly handy, though I did go ahead and purchase "The New Abs Diet Cookbook" to supplement the info from this book. I highly recommend purchasing that alongside this book. The principles are easy to understand and follow. I am on day 3 of my lifestyle change and I have lost almost 5 lbs. I do not feel as though I am craving for or missing anything, nor am I hungry. The main thing that has changed in his new line of books is the author has decided to switch from whey-based protein to plant-based protein. I did some additional research on this because I was slightly perturbed that the same man was feeding me two different lines. The author states in a July 2015 interview with Blue Zone: "The recent research I’ve done for my Zero Belly Diet plan convinced me to make plant-based smoothies a part of my daily routine. I’ve traded in whey protein for vegan protein powders, because more and more studies show that plant protein is critical to longevity." So there you have it. I would like to see the author add a page in the front of this book that addresses this research and gives readers ideas to reduce the dairy ingredients, such as using almond milk instead of cow's milk, and switching to plant-based protein powders, whereas his recipes (and the book) still tout whey as the "whey" to go. (Ignore that; bad pun.) Overall, though, I can easily see this becoming my new, healthier way of life.
