Pros: It's the only thing that has worked for me Cons: The recipes don't really appeal to me
I bought this book when I was working at a health food store. I really needed to try a diet out- one that was going to be flexible enough for my needs and would give me much needed energy. It's not that I am 'fat', at least try to judge from my photo....
Pros: The book explains everything for you! Cons: Hard to get through the medical information.
I love just about everything that has carbohydrates! Rice, bread, potatoes, corn, popcorn, the list could go on and on. However, in spite of this, Protein Power explained the high-protein/low-carbohydrate plan* in a way that made it easy for even...
Pros: Easy to read, step by step instructions, includes theoretical discussion, offers hope Cons: Unanswered question, need to buy a gram counter separately
This is a review of the second edition of this book, "Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low-Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health--in Just Weeks!," ISBN 0-553-57475-2.
Pros: Similar to an old favorite: twice baked potatoes Cons: none
Since my husband and I have been on the "Protein Power" diet, I've had the challenge of coming up with new ways to prepare meals. (And after I had the whole cooking thing down pat! :) ) Figures.
Pros: It is working fantastic for us Cons: We have none
My husband and I were both in need of losing weight. He takes medication for high blood pressure and even though I don't, my previous visit to my doctor revealed that my BP was also up some.
Pros: It does work; the authors encourage exercise Cons: You'll want to barter body parts for some pasta after a while
"Protein Power" is a more developed version of the infamous Atkins protein-good carbs-bad diet. Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades, those twinkling informercial stars, swear that you will drop tons of weight while pigging out on "forbidden" foods like...
Pros: Very easy read, packed with information Cons: None that I can think of.
.....if you follow this diet, you'll need them! I am an Atkins follower since his first book came out in 1973. Recently there has been a new popularity in low-carbohydrate diets. Heading the list, in my epinion, is Protein Power. There isn't that much...
Pros: well-organized, clearly written, soundly reasoned Cons: none that I can see
When I discovered Protein Power in January of 1996, I was almost at the end of my rope. I wouldn't wear a shirt tucked in because it made me look fatter. My cholesterol was creeping ever upward. I was growing more desperate every day.
Pros: Great explanation of physiology Cons: Not enough recipes/menus.
I have read this book several times and keep it as a continuing reference. It not only provides a life plan for eating low carbohydrate foods but backs up this choice with facts and medical information. Many people believe this way of eating to be...
Pros: Information presented in useful format Cons: No more potatoes !
This book is the perfect companion piece to the more famous "The New Diet Revolution" by Dr. Atkins. While both books offer similar instructions on following a low carbohydrate way of life, Protein Power is more technical in nature, and will...
Pros: "eat yourself thin" Cons: give up bread, pasta, etc
This CAN'T be a diet, yet it is the BEST one I've ever been on! Have you tried every diet under the sun and still can't loose weight? That's the way I was until the spring of 1998 when I decided to buy this book. My favorite line in the book is where...
Pros: Good Balance of Low Carb and Protein Cons: More complicated than Atkin's
The US population is obsessed with dieting. They are willing to try just about any new diet that is promoted in the popular press, shows up on the shelves of the local bookstore, or is discussed on their favorite talk shows. Despite these many...
Pros: Feel great, lose weight, great food Cons: Sometimes I miss junk food!
After 5 years of low-fat mostly vegetarian fare and gaining 40 pounds and having migraines to the point where I almost had to quit my job, I finally heard about low-carb diets and picked up Protein Power. My life has changed drastically since then....
Pros: Weight loss plan that really is possible! Cons: Hard to live without the carbs!
I can't even explain how happy this book and plan have made me. I am not extremely overweight, but my family is traditionally 10-40 pounds heavy all the time.
By following the guidelines and suggestions of the Eades', I lost 2 pounds over the...
