My first requirement for a diet is that it should leave me healthier at the end than I was at the beginning. I don’t want to feel nauseated by a powdered drink composed of who-knows-what, or faint from days of thin vegetable soup. When I read about DD’s varied menu based on wholesome nutrient-rich foods, I thought it probably would help, and certainly couldn’t hurt.
The first four days, I most enjoyed the fast release shake. Changing up the fruits provided several great flavors, and the natural p...more

I've seen several articles in Reader's Digest about the Digest Diet that I decided to read it and see what it is all about. Here is the boiled down version of the plan (you could say it's the Reader's Digest version, yuk yuk):
1. Eat foods that release fat. Examples are Vitamin C, calcium, dairy, protein, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (like olives, nuts, avocados), coconut oil, resveratrol (wine), fiber, vinegar, quinoa, honey, and cocoa.
2. Change your environment. Don't sit around, ge...more

After trying nearly every diet out there, spending thousands of dollars, and years of utter frustration, this diet finally works! I'm so happy, I lost a size in only 9 days. I'm going to continue. The book is well organized, informative, the advice is logical, and the food is delicious. I am not hungry, I have no cravings. I don't think I have lost "water weight" as some are saying, and I don't think this is a modge-podge of other diets out there at all! Liz just finally got the RIGHT informatio...more
This isn't your run of the mill "diet". It is a healthy lifestyle plan. Whole, real foods...fruits and veggies, lean protein, healthy fats...exercise. Our family already eats like this, but a lot of good principles are given and tips to help you maintain this healthy lifestyle. We've been eating "the plan" as a family with Mom and Dad sticking to it precisely (I have to get more calories since I'm a nursing Mama). Dad has lost 7 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks! I recommend this to anyone who eats processed f...more
I read "The Digest Diet" after seeing information about it in "Reader's Digest." The book was fairly well written and made a lot of sense from a nutrition standpoint, so I started the diet four days ago and have already lost 7 pounds. I am sure that the weight is a least partially water weight, but not all of it. I haven't really been hungry and I feel great! I recommend this book to anyone needing to lose a few pounds and become more healthy. This could be your answer.
I'm glad I won this through First Reads. Digest Diet contains tips and plans on lasting weight loss. I cooked a few of the recipes and my favorites were Kale and Chickpea soup with feta. Another favorite is the Tangy Broccoli Slaw. The recipes are healthy and flavorful.
After checking it out from the library first I feel this is an actual "get started on the path to healthy eating" guidebook. Not so much a diet but a plan to change some eating habits and start a better relationship with food. I'm going to try it for 3 weeks and see.
Don't waste your money on this book. Of course you'll lose weight because all you do is drink shakes and eat soup. My advice, invest in a low fat cookbook and an exercise DVD.
Don't bother. It's like the author read the back covers of a bunch of popular diet books and shoehorned them together.
I really like this book. It has lots of small changes that add up to a big difference and some very yummy recipes!
Love it. Real food and innovative recipes.
Not all that helpful
I got this after reading a lot about it in Reader's Digest. I am anxious to start changing my ways and start losing weight!
Very informative. Doesn't sound like a fad diet, but more of a lifestyle change. Love the advice to laugh everyday!
