 Nothing New Here January 2, 2005
21 out of 26 found this review helpful
I bought the second book assuming it would be just as insightful as the first but I was extremely disappointed. I lost 30 pounds with the help of the first book but I wish I had waited for the Eat Right Every Time Guide to arrive in a bookstore so that I could have thumbed through it first and then put it back on the shelf. There's virtually no new information presented that's not covered in the first book. The limited new material should have been included in the first book and you can find all kinds of new recipe ideas online for free. Like the one reviewer here commented, the information on meal choices at restaurants is based on common sense and you don't need to tote around this book to help make a decision. It's the first book that is necessary to educate you on how to eat healthy and make informed decisions. I certainly wouldn't recommend this book unless you can actually pick it up in a bookstore and browse through it first.
 An Informative portable SUPPLEMENT! January 2, 2005

First, if you have a choice between the hardcover OR softcover of this supplement (I'm not sure there is a choice anyway)...get the softcover...the book is small in size, low priced and, therefore, portable...
Second, this is NOT a diet...it is a common sense, researched based, way to live and eat healthier...
Ok, this book is NOT meant to be THE "Abs Diet" resource but A resource which is a PORTABLE supplement to the original book. Judged for what it was meant to be it is an excellent resource. Interestingly while I didn't buy the first book I've been following nearly all of its philosophy for three months and I've lost 25 pounds (215 to 190)...(I'm a long time subscriber to "Men's Health" which basically outlines this philosophy in each edition)...and with no anguish associated with the other so called "successful" diet programs such as Atkins which really aren't successful in the long run (research based)...this program is meant to be realistic and permanent...and I have absolutely loved what I've learned about food AND what I eat...
As for this supplement, it was exactly what I needed to focus my efforts and the sections on the travesties and/or health risks of High Fructose Corn Syrup & trans-fat should be required reading for all parents and politicians. (Just as an aside, I remember seeing Bill Maher being laughed at by conservatives on his HBO show for saying that high fructose corn syrup was a greater health threat to our nation than drugs...he was absolutely correct...just take a look at the connection between when our nation became obese and when HFCS was widely introduced into our food system...take a look at the resulting costs to our health care system...once again, the conservatives miss the point and misdirect limited resources to solve the wrong problem...but, dang nab it, it sure makes us all FEEL like we're accomplishing something doesn't it?!).
Bottom line...this book can be a very nice portable resource for those who understand the Abs "Diet" and for those who would like to be introduced to its core philosophy. Enjoy!
 First Book a Necessity, This One Isn't January 1, 2005

I received both the Abs Diet and the Eat Right Every Time Guide as a gift. I found the first book to be very valuable, jam packed with information on the Abs Diet program including exercise, nutrition, comparison programs, etc.
However, there didn't seem to be much content in the Eat Right Every Time Guide that was original. It offers more recipes but once you're familiar with the "Powerfoods" philosophy then you can adapt most any meal to the program and the recipes in here were pretty basic. The recommendations about which meals to eat when dining out were pretty easy to figure out based on common sense and I don't see myself eating at most of these restaurants anyway because of the nutritional pitfalls that exist there to begin with.
I'm hanging on to the Eat Right Every Time Guide because it was a gift but I wouldn't have purchased it on my own. If you're interested in the Abs Diet then you definitely need the first book, but save your money on this second one and use it instead to by some protein powder. I think Men's Health was looking for a way to promote the Abs Diet program for the New Year by releasing this booklet and the next Abs Diet contest at the time that everyone is gung ho with resolutions to get back into shape.
I have had great success with the Abs Diet and following the principles in the first book. Their forums provide a great support mechanism for the books and the people going through the Program. The only pitfall is that Men's Health is a business and their marketing strategies can be misleading and deceiving when promoting the Program through their web site and the Abs Diet contest. You cannot expect to read these books, follow the program, and get results such as the ones displayed on their web site or in the winner of their contests.
