The 1st diet book I have read fully & truly loved Strong Points of the Book (+): 1- Quick healthy recipes (I especially loved the smoothies). 2- Explanations of scientific terms (cholestrol, Blood Pressure's HDL & why an increase in muscles leads to a decrease in weight). 3- Success Stories of people who followed the diet. 4- Workout schedule (easy & time saving) includes 52 abs workouts targeting all ab muscles + other lower & upper body workouts. 5- Iconic overview of the 12 Power Food Groups and their benefits. Weak Points of the Book (-): 1- Overemphasizing the benefits of the abs diet (let the diet speak for itself). 2- Negatively criticising other diets (Including The Zone, Atkins, South Beach). These diets have worked for many over the long term. No need to put those down to play up the good features of the Abs Diet. 3- Repetition of the benefits of the 12 Power foods listed in the book. A chapter in the book gives a summary of the Power Foods & another gives a full explanation of the benefits of those food groups, which could have been put together in one chapter. Redundancy is not recommended. Overall verdict: A wonderful book with scientific evidence to support the information & facts listed in the book, plus the credibility of the author's experience who happens to run Men's Health and work in it for the past 10 years.
