Crack the Fat-Loss Code: Outsmart Your Metabolism and Conquer the Diet Plateau
The book drills into your thoughts that it is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change, that is certainly true. I read the book but did not even attempt the program. It seemed very restrictive to me and those type of plans never work in the long term.
Rating: 2 / 5
The plan outlined in the “Crack the Fat-Loss Code” book really works. It is such an easy lifestyle change and Wendy and her staff at ForeverFit are the best!
Rating: 5 / 5
This book was recommended by a popular magazine and that’s why I bought it. I found the diet similar to the low carb diet but with a lot more restrictions. The diet has a very strict regiman and you have to be committed to loosing weight before following it precisely.

I am so pleased with the condition and the timeliness of the product purchased. I will definitely do business with this seller again!

This book is poorly written. The author constantly uses analogies to cars, and gasoline. It gets to be laborious to read — I’d rather read facts, and correct terminology. It is insulting to my intelligence. The format of the book is hard to read — the diets are at the back of the book, but you have to search in the middle for recipes and search again elsewhere to find the the substitute lists. The book will tell you a recipe is on a certain page, and it’s really several pages away. It is very unorganized!
Also, the nutritional values are way wrong on several recipes. For instance, the recipe for crepes (which are horrible!) states 20 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat and 15-25 grams of Carbs. Well, the protein powder alone has 20-23 grams of protein. The oatmeal has another 4 grams of protein, and the 4 eggs have another 20 or so grams of protein. That’s over double what the author states! The oatmeal also has 2 grams of fat, and surely the egg yolk has a little fat…again double the author’s stated 1 gram of fat.
The before-and-after shots of her clients are also insulting to my intelligence! She has a before/after shot of one woman…and she’s a size 4 before and a size 4 after! Another man has lost several pounds, and totally firmed up his body. But….the muscle didnt come from this diet, it came from him lifting weights and working out.
Another thing—-since you must excercise (and honestly should with any diet plan), the author doesnt tell you WHEN you should eat for ideal performance. This is very important if you lift weights or do intensive cardio. You need energy to lift weights, so you need to know WHEN to eat. I’m surprised the author, who is a former bodybuilder, totally omitted this type of information!
Lastly, this diet did not work for me. I do feel like I’m eating healthier than I was before, but I’m not losing any weight or fat. In fact, in 3 weeks, I’ve only lost 5 pounds. I’m following it very closely. And, the 1st 2 whole weeks of the diet I didnt even have a bowel movement — I had to buy laxatives. That’s not healthy!
Save your money. Find another diet. This book is horrible. I’ve heard the “idiot proof diet” online works well, maybe I’ll try that.
