You can tell this was written by a single women with no children and has plenty of money to spend on food. Her protocol is very regimented, so if you have other people's time and schedule to worry about it will almost be impossible.

She also states that this is what worked for her and you need to find what works for you, but then in her next paragraph she writes, "you must do this or it will not work!" She also bolds it and underlines it so you know for sure there is only one way to do this.

I do agree with her diet plans. I started following a low carb diet because of Type II diabetes, and she doesn't consider carb sensitive people in her "carb re-feed" days. Do I need to spike my blood sugar every three days to get hormonal balance?

I also think it is written for women trying to lose weight. I am not just want to spot reduce belly fat, but keep weight same (or preferably gain a few pounds). So not helpful unless you want to lose +10 pounds.

We humans have evolved just living life so I don't think it should be this regimented and strict and do agree that our American processed diet is killing us all.

I do like and agree with the diet (but when I am feeding 5 people and would have to shop online for a lot of the things needed) I just can't afford it. I also think her exercise plan is great. I wish she would have expanded on what an "active rest" includes. She states walks and sports, but is this a short walk? Can a 20 mile bike ride count in the sports category? Or is that too long?
