So curiosity got the better of me, and I finally picked up her book Making the Cut at a bookstore recently. The diet is so low in calories and depending on metabolic type, very low in carbs. It's 3 meals with one snack. One breakfast was a hard boiled egg! Anyone would lose weight on this. I would probably lose weight even without the workout (not that I'd want to that way, but just saying). Not only that though, I would balloon up after going back to semi-normal eating. Looking at the plan makes me hungry. Contrast that with NRO4W, and it's a huge difference and makes me wonder if one can keep up that type of diet or close enough so as not to regain. It also makes me wonder about what it will actually take to lose the weight. I am in the target population for that book having 10 or so lbs to lose, but I hope it does not take me the kind of diet recommended there to do it. Perhaps it is just the 30-day part causing it to be so extreme, but she seems to suggest that to get cut, she believes that is what it takes. Anyone else take a look? Makes me feel less deprived anyway.
