Gabe didn't say the program wasn't any good\effective, so let's be cautious about defending arguments that weren't made in the first place. He said that he could have find a program for half the price that would probably work as well (Such as the one that Alwyn personally recommended as being the best ever).
Defiant1- Thanks, I missed your post. Just for the record I don't think the book necessarily "should" provide an after diet plan, it's not marketed as such...just a one month plan, so that's cool. I just wondered.
IMO the lack of definition on who these products are appropriate for is part of the problems why people are disappointed in dropping $100 on something that wasn't meant for you...then getting flogged on a forum for not knowing ahead of time that something that was marketed to death in front of you wasn't appropriate for you....duhhh...dumbass
(in jest, not intended towards anyone or hurt anyone's feelings). That's one thing I like about Lyle McDonald's stuff. It's very specific in scope, the intended audience is normally very obvious, you're buying information not a program. So you can take what you learn and apply it across other aspects of your happy little world.
