Found the book--at the last bookstore I went to, of course!--and BMO3 is right, it is NOT a diet book at all. The first 69 pages is basic explanation of why he created this book, telling you that the main keys are eating the right foods, right amounts, right food combos, and the right times of day to eat. Everything from page 70 to 400 are recipes & food conversion charts.
I'm going to try it for 2 weeks & see how it goes. The only thing I'm a little "eh" on is that his "Suggested Meal Plans" sometimes involve eating 3 Myoplex Protein Shakes a day! That's excessive, IMO, BUT he does mention that is really just for people who do not have the time to eat actual snacks.

I have never in a year and a half, had a myoplex shake. I just substitute a food. As I mentioned, they are interchangeable.

Ok, I've gotta check this out. I wonder if B&N has them? I may just zip over tonight quick. Anybody need any books while I'm there?

LOL, B&N was the LAST bookstore I went to! It was in a wierd location, too. It was NOT in Diet section, NOR in Exercise Section (where Body for Life is). I had to ask the info desk to find it for me. It was where the medical guides were! Originally Posted by Xrayted

At y'all's and another real life friend reccomendation I picked this up. My life's already hectic but the meals are easy to fix ahead so after I get a "stock" of leftovers and frozen servings set up I think it'll be really good....

I have been eating the body for life way for almost 2 years now. The meals are super easy (note-I am a lazy cook) with easy to find ingredients. Enjoy!
