I have just read through most of this thread and its amazing to me how many people will argue with Dr. Ellis and call him a liar when they haven't even read his book.

I have read it (along with Atkins, Zone, BFL, and many others) and every claim Dr. Ellis makes is absolutely true. You will learn exactly how the body uses food and exactly what you need to do to control your weight. You will learn that there are no such thing as "metablic advantages" like Dr. Atkins claims.

The fact is, calories count. Dr. Ellis gives us the science to back up his claims. Now, before you disagree with me - read the book first - because you can't form an opinion on something you know nothing about.

Yes, the book is $65 - which is on the high side for a book. But it is well worth it for the knowledge you'll gain.
