"The Abs Diet is a sensible eating and exercise plan, not
a fad diet. The Abs Diet Powerfoods and the Abs Diet Workout are
designed to make you fit, healthy, and lean for life. If you want
to get on top of your game, this is where you start. Remember:
Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself." --The Rock, movie
star
"The Abs Diet is a must read for anyone who is serious about
building a healthy body and changing to a healthy lifestyle. Most
diets are based on gimmicks that set you up for failure; this
is the first program I have seen that promotes a lifestyle change
that anyone can live with." --David R. Pearson, Ph.D., director
of the strength-research laboratory at Ball State University in
Muncie, Indiana
Finally, a diet that's focused on what you can eat, not what
you can't! The Abs Diet isn't just about aesthetics, though. You'll
look good, but you'll feel great -- and you'll succeed at last!
The Abs Diet addresses the reality of people's everyday lives
and shows them how to improve their health through smart eating
and exercise." --Heidi Skolnik, R.D., staff nutritionist
for the New York Giants

"Clear, crisp, refreshingly sensible, and as entertaining
as it is enlightening, The Abs Diet will reward its readers handsomely.
There are few 'diet books' that I am willing to endorse; I endorse
this one enthusiastically. If you have an abdomen, get this book!"
--David L. Katz, M.D., director of medical studies in public health
at Yale University School of Medicine and director of the Yale
Prevention Research Center
“I can’t argue with a book that encourages blueberries
and spinach and discourages trans fats,” says Roberta Anding,
a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and a Baylor
College of Medicine nutritionist who is also team dietitian for
the NFL’s Houston Texans. She believes most guys can relate
to the format, and the food information is pretty solid.
Registered dietitian Jane Kirby, author of ‘Dieting for
Dummies,’ agrees that the food plan is basically sound but
thinks it overemphasizes the “magic” of the 12 power
foods. “Whey protein [powder] and instant oatmeal are over-plugged,”
she says. “But I guess you can’t spell ‘ABS
DIET POWER’ without them.” She believes the 12 foods
are all good but that “none are going to magically cause
weight loss.” Yet readers shouldn’t miss the book’s
peanut butter sandwich recipe, Kirby adds. “It incorporates
three of the power foods, sounds delicious, and puts the whole
anti-carbohydrate fad into perspective.”
