This is the start of my 3rd day on this diet. I lost a pound when I got up Sat. and another today, Sun. I have never lost two pounds in two days on any diet.
I can see the lumpy look(water retention?) on the inside of my arms noticeably just about gone.
I made notes as I read the book and went to the natural foods store where they helped me find all of the supplements mentioned. I also purchased all of the foods mentioned, which are also my favorites.
I spent the day experimenting in my kitchen and made a nice project out of finding things that worked for us. I made a pot of brown rice, steamed a head of cabbage with cumin, dill, pepper and Mrs. Dash. I also diced up purple onion and red bell peppers to add to the cabbage. I had bought a jar of Thai curry paste and coconut milk which I mixed together in a very small amount and poured it on top of the cabbage which I had spooned on top of the rice. I thought I was in a Thai restaurant, and not on a diet.
I had bought frozen Shrimp Scampi at Costco, heated up about 10 pieces and put them on top, too. It was so quick and easy. All of this is not exactly low fat, but I lost weight anyway. My husband only weighs once a week, so no results on him yet.
Besides the fennel and peppermint tea I also bought something called obesity tea and mixed them all together, making a very large pot and drinking them as my 60 oz of water during the day.
Besides this, I got Costco's vanilla soy milk, added their pure juice(Capri sun) some blueberries and made smoothies, to which I added orange flavored fiber power which improved the taste even more. It was so good that my husband was looking forward to the next one. We drank those in between meals.
I also got 3 packs of Tilapia(fish) from Costco, separated them into small freezer bags of one meal for 2, and now they're frozen but ready to use. We fried them with Mrs. Dash, garlic, and cornmeal using olive oil. Delicious!
I should also add that I was working at my computer most of the day, but do get some exercise in the evening using 2-lb. weights in arm exercises while jogging on our mini trampoline ( 39.00 at Sports Chalet) while watching the evening news. My husband and I take turns, like every 5 minutes.
I have not gotten around to making the celery and parsley juice yet, will do that today, and no, I don't work for Costco! I have noticed that every time I go there they have more and more organic food. Oh, I also got their organic pumpkin-flax grainola which I sprinkled on my yougurt (haven't found goat-type yet) along with their mixed dried fruit and nuts medley. Great stuff.
I would advise every woman to read this book! November 6, 2003

I loved this book from beginning to end. It explains how sometimes being overwight doesn't necessarily mean having too much fat, but fluid retention could be one of the causes. If you are one of those people that is always on a diet and performing lots of execercise and still find it hard to shed those extra pounds, you will find this book extremely helpful. Some bits are quite scientific but still easy to read and well explained. The book initially helps you to find out if fluid retention could be your problem, what are the reasons that causes it and how to fix the problem. The book offers a diet program, easy to follow with easy and delicious recepies. I tried the program and followed the advices and it works! To help speed up the proccess of fluid elimination try some diuretic herbal teas as well.
the best diet book in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 6, 2003

This book is impossible to order through Amazon.com but it's avalible through amazon.co.uk for only $$$ and arrives within a week and thats coming from the UK - international shipping is only a few dollars extra than UK shipping so for everyone out there having trouble with Amazon.com shipping this book order through Amazon.co.uk and save yourself $$$ for doing so!! This book is expensive on Amazon.com because it's an international title. A great book I lost 70lbs in 5 months on this diet - It's GREAT!!

The chapters on food allergies, the reasons behind intolerances and the way they lead to water retention are very good and beautifully illustrated. I bought my mother the book a few years ago. She used it for three days and then gave up because she couldn't stop going to the toilet. So it obviously works. Mothers......
