Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband and I are almost done with Stage One of this diet and so far are very impressed. We haven't felt hungry (except when we skipped snacks) and it's been incredibly easy to stick to. The food is incredible, it tastes so good that it's hard to believe that this is a diet. Both of us have also lost weight which is, of course, the goal.
To those who complain about the cooking, we found that there is cooking to be done, but it's so easy and quick it isn't a chore. For us it helped break us out of the delivery rut and gave us a way to always know what was for dinner--a huge help in our indecisive house. It also reinforced what a healthy portion size is for adults which is something we needed to learn.
To those who are concerned with the lack of exercise, this isn't an exercise book. Exercise is a healthy part of living, but studies have shown that it doesn't really help with weight loss. It's almost impossible to work out enough to burn the calories you're taking in if you aren't paying attention to that. I'm doing this along with Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shredand I'm having great success, my husband is just dieting and he's having equal success.
My one quibble with the book is that it needs editing. The page numbers to the recipes in the menu plans do not always line up with the recipe in the back of the book. It's not hard to find what you're looking for since you're usually in the correct section but it's really annoying, especially when some dishes have very similar names and can be easily confused. I'm using the paperback version, so I don't know if this also applies to the hardcover version.
If you're thinking of trying this diet, you should try it.

Originally published in 2008 in hardcover, Dr. Susan Roberts's groundbreaking Instinct Diet was universally praised as superb. From Jane E. Brody in The New York Times: "Perhaps the most comprehensive approach to eating for effective weight control." From Women's World: "Obesity cure!" From world-class nutritional researchers and scientists: "A real paradigm shift;" "wise guidance along the road to long-term weight management;" "an honest, straightforward and helpful guide." And not to mention from Harvard's Henry Louis Gates Jr., who recommends the book to "anyone who has struggled with weight gain or obesity, and has given up hope. This diet will change their life."Now in paperback, featuring a new chapter highlighting success stories, with before and after photos, The "I" Diet is the only diet that helps us control the controls. The diet that's easy to follow; the diet that's based on impeccable laboratory research; the diet where the dieter never goes hungry; the diet that is unequivocably healthy, thoroughly grounded in the metabolic, genetic, and psychological workings of the human body. Through its focus on delicious, deeply satisfying dishes like Orange Crumbed French Toast, Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Thai Chicken Salad with Warm Peanut Sauce, and Chocolate Bread Pudding, and proven behavioral modifications (Dr. Roberts is a professor of nutrition and a professor of psychiatry), the diet is a fat-burning marvel. Read it and find out for yourself how the dieters on the cover lost 30 pounds on average in a few short months.
