This book is the best thing that has ever happened to me!! It is short, simple and to the point. The Doctors outline exactly what you should be eating according to your phenotype and also help you recognize what triggers your weight gain and how to combat it! If you are ready to make a change in your life, this is the book to help you do it. By following the plan in this book, I have lost a total of 22 pounds (so far) and improved my health, mood and energy level.
Read this book if you are in recovery

If you have a history of alcoholism or drug addiction, or binge eating, take a look at the Phenotype A food plan. Genetically, Phenotype A people may have low levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine or serotonin. Their "feel-good" genes don't work, leading them to alleviate their "lows" in some other way. I have found this food plan really helpful because it doesn't feel restrictive. It balances out the protein/carb/fat ratio and tells you exactly what types of food to eat and when. It suggests certain supplements for depression. Rather than being a short-term weight loss diet, it is a long-term food plan designed to alleviate cravings and mood swings. It pretty much follows a hypoglycemic diet, except for the caffeine. (For info on the link between hypoglycemia and alcoholism, see the Hypoglycemic Health Association of Australia.)
A Godsend of a book

Finally, a book that offers help, not hype, in dealing with weight loss and health. Grounded in the most advanced science of today (genetics), but easy to read and understand even by me. I was ready to give up thinking I would never lose weight and be able to keep it off. Everyone with a weight problem, no matter what the cause, needs this book.

This book has really shed some light on some of the problems I have been having with the constant Yo Yo dieting I've been through over the years. With the knowledge I have gained from this book, I have a better understanding of my body type and can manage my challenges accordingly. The 6 meal plan is definitely working for me, I am losing weight and this book has given me hope that this will be the last life style change I have to make. Thanks you so much to Dr. Susan and Dr Christine for this useful information and the hope of long term healthy living.
