 Pretty Good Info March 16, 2008

I enjoyed the information. I am already doing weight training, cardio, and 6 meals a day as Tom Venuto recommends at www.burnthefat.com . I bought some fiber choice fiber wafers at Sam's Club for cheap and I eat a few Kashi Bars each day. I am up to 40 grams a day of fiber and it does help keep everything regular.
I watched her video on PBS.
Fiber does help you lose weight March 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Thin people know fiber does help you lose weight. Diabetics know that they need fiber along with fruits. No more juice, eat the fruit with the fiber in it or blend it in a blender. Fiber slows down the glycemic load, or to say another way... it slows down the sugar in your body and doesn't spike it. That's hard on everyone especially diabetics. Fiber is a bit of a carb blocker, but it is natural and doesn't have the other bad effects that carb blockers may prove to have in the future. This book also explains how eating often every 2-3 hours tiny meals with fiber will help rev. up the metabolism. Who can't use that! Get more fiber. It is easy. So many products on the market. And get rid of the overprocessed carbs. the bad ones. The white breads, white rices etc. This book will help you understand how fiber helps everyone.

This is a good read about fiber and how wonderful it is for your body but as for a diet I think that it is lacking much information and may build up hopes and dreams more than weight loss. As wonderful as this diet sounds some conditions are aggrevated or symptoms increase due to to much fiber and there really is such a thing as too much fiber. Consult a doctor first.

All of Brenda Watson's books are pretty good, including this one. As was stated by many of the other reviewers, "there's really nothing new about adding fiber to the diet." While this is true, this book creates a specific paradigm for implementing a structured program and integrating it into one's daily schedule in a relatively simple way.
Brenda has created a compelling story of why fiber is essential and adds enough science to justify her contention without overwhelming the average reader.
My only complaint is while touting a 35-gram fiber diet, her recipes were relatively low fiber. There are an abundant of high fiber meals and recipes that she could have included and didn't. As an example, her recipe for chicken in a lettuce bowl is 212 calories with one gram of fiber. What is that recipe doing in a book encouraging us to include more fiber in our diet? As a matter of fact most of the recipes had less than three grams of fiber per serving. What was she thinking?
There are so many ways to add sufficient fiber into the diet without living on supplements. It's clear to me, however, that her mission was to promote her Fiber 35 Diet supplement line instead of teaching people how to select high fiber meal choices.

 The Fiber35 Diet: Nature's Weight Loss Secret (Hardcover) October 28, 2007

Unfortunately,In my opinion this book offered me nothing new or substantial, at least as far as making it worth my buying.
She recommends starting out for several days keeping your daily calorie intake at a reduced amount, such as 1000 calories /day, and adding exercize if you are not exercizing. Just like any good sensible diet.
You'd lose weight regardless, just try eating higher fiber foods to ease hunger.
The added advice of eating higher insoluble and soluble fiber foods to ease hunger pangs(among other benefits)is good, but takes very few pages to explain and understand.
About 1/2 the book is recipes.
