[.ca] The Rosedale Diet (ISBN 0060565721)

The best diet book I've ever read:
As a veteran dieter of 35 years I felt I had come to an important truth about the cause of obesity when I read The Rosedale Diet. Trying the 28 day meal plan confirmed it. It was the first diet that I've tried, and I've tried nearly all of them, that I was truly satisfied and had no cravings. I couldn't even eat most of the snacks because I was so satisfied with the meals. I've lost 17 pounds plus all the stiffness and pain in my joints. My blood pressure is down and I can't wait to see if the cholesterol is too. I have more energy than I've had in years. I no longer have to have a moka joe to wake up. It's definitely the diet for my body. The recipes are simple and tasty. Sauces can be made ahead to speed the process. It would have helped if they had listed the page number where the recipe is found right behind the name of the dish on the meal plan but there is an index at the beginning of the recipe section that makes them fairly easy to find. But the meals are easy to interchange and to pop in one of my own that fits the bill. I even follow the plan when I have company and they seem very satisfied with the meals. I just add one of the deserts in the book (something I rarely do anymore on a daily basis). Dr. Rosedale helped me go from a sweet freak to a total abstainer painlessly. This is definitely a diet I can live with for the rest of my life.
