 TOO COMPLICATED!!!! December 29, 2009

I've read the book and chose to give it two stars for two reasons; 1) Watson provides a well developed "formula" for determining how many calories, and grams of fiber one needs in order to lose weight, 2) I learned alot about the benefits of a high fiber diet.
The problem is that Watson doesn't include whole foods as the sole source of dietary intake. I think that legumes are down played in the book because she's too busy pushing her shakes and bars.
Shakes and bars give me heartburn, therefore the plan is too "processed" for me. A large majority of the foods on the plan require that one go to a health food market. She suggests using various nutritional supplements of vitamins and minerals, just too many.
I can't imagine anyone eating that way for life, it's unrealistic. Not to mention murder on a weak stomach. How nice it would be if someone came up with a plan to use whole foods, with lots of beans, veggie dishes, fruits and lean protein.
Lets not mention the annoying excersize schedule. I would think running around to find the ingredients should be excersize enough.
I also warn you, if you don't drink the recommended water intake, be mindful of the stomach cramps!
 Fiber 35 Diet ...Just What I Expected November 15, 2009

This is a no nonsense approach to weight loss diet that although may be written a little too clinically, should do what it says. I'm not so sure how new it is...alot of common sense stuff and a few things I actually disagree with, but, all in all, a fair work.
I would liked to have seen more testimonials (with before and after pictures) where people were enthusiastic about this plan.
I like the recipe section and the guide telling how much fiber is in the foods.
I am hoping that the book is right about eating the right things to keep the cravings down... I'll let you know:)

Brenda Watson, The Fiber35 Diet: Nature's Weight Loss Secret (Free Press, 2007)
I knew it would eventually happen--in an age where we've had decades of quirky, contrarian diet books (how else to explain the low-carb revolution?), eventually we'd get to the point where someone would write a classic diet book and have it hailed as something revolutionary. Welcome to The Fiber35 Diet, a book that basically tells you exactly what people have been saying about weight loss since fat people first started appearing in droves, and people read it and say "what is this wonderful new idea?". Well, I'll tell you: eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce the number of calories you take in, and you'll lose weight. Genius, right? It's common sense packaged in book form. Which should be making you ask "why do I need to buy the book?".
In a word, recipes. The first half of the book tells you stuff you already know (well, some of it you probably only know if you're as oddly drawn to some infomercials as I seem to be). The second half tells you how to put it into action, and gives you some recipes that mostly take traditional dishes and bulk up the fiber. (I'll be making the vegetable bean chili tonight, actually.) Good stuff, some of it even inventive for diet book recipes.
There is a downside, of course, as there usually is, and that is that following the plan laid out here, if you follow it completely, can be prohibitively expensive. Watson recommends colon cleansing along with increasing your fiber intake, and the cheapest decent colon cleansing regimen will set you back fifty bucks or so. Add in the various supplements and health-food-store-only ingredients, and you're looking at a six-figure income in order to be able to afford this. Thankfully, it's not all entirely necessary; after all, supplements are supplements, and they don't, in general, contain things you can't get by quirking your diet here and there. (Granted, fresh fruits and vegetables will cost you more at the store than processed crap, but compared to the costs of the supplements, a couple of extra heads of cauliflower and a few more carrots will seem like a bargain.)
So, yeah, take it all with a grain of salt, but you can't really go wrong with common sense. *** ½
