The Inside-Out Diet: 4 Weeks to Natural Weight Loss, Total Body Health, and Radiance
I ordered this book 4 days ago, and tracked my order yesterday. It said I was suppose to get it tomorrow, then I checked it again today and now it says I will be getting it in 9-13 days. I called Amazon and they are telling me I will be getting it on 9/10/08, that is 13 days excluding weekends and holidays.
I have ordered other products before and have gotten them on time or earlier on the date that they had on the tracking info. This is the first time they will take twice as long. Disappointed! I pray that it comes sooner.
The customer service people are from India and because I am hard-of-hearing, it was EXTREMELY difficult and frustrating for me to understand them. They started shouting and I cannot understand people shouting. I sense they were mocking me and I know they were not. They do not understand deaf or hard-of-hearing people because their comprehension and enunciation was very poor. It took twice as long to understand each other.
Today (9/5/08) I checked my mail and called USPS about my package, it is still SITTING in Coffeyville, KS they do not have a clue why it is. I did call Amazon to notify them. I did worked for USPS (20 years, retired now) and I am embarrassed by them that they could not give me a better explanation. I also told them that UPS(United Parcel Service)have given good delivery services using the FREE Super Saver Shipping, my packages were delivered on time or earlier. Why did they change delivery services for the FREE Super Saver Shipping? I am stupefied. USPS has always been slow moving. Amazon is telling me to use the paid services (UPS) to deliver faster. What! (fake) Hahahaha!
I want to rate the book with 4 STARS. After several weeks of waiting for the book to finally arrive. (October 11, 2008) I started reading the book immediately, it’s pretty much the lifestyle I adopted to due to some medical conditions I have. I like the recipes very much and I tried the menu plans, too. I started using the recipes and they are good. There are a few ingredients that were hard to find, I found them at Whole Foods market here in Arizona.
My health has improved a lot. I was able to decrease one of my diabetes medications and my blood sugars have been completely under control 24/7. In fact, I might have to drop one or two soon. My RA also has changed, even though I haven’t really had pain but occasionally, I don’t experience pain anymore. The fatigue from RA is a lot less, I may have it once a week instead of every day. And I’m losing weight healthfully and normally slow (2-3 lbs/wk).

It’s not what I thought it would be. I just didn’t like it. But others may.

Extremely helpful and informative. I’m no only hoping to lose weight but I’m also hoping to help my problems with acid reflux. This is a wonderful book.

I really appreciate the author for writing this book. She introduced me to a variety of very tasty foods that have tremendous health benefits. This book is great and the results are real and lasting. This is not about a fad diet though. This is a lifestyle change. After reading the information contained therein I’m sure 9 out of 10 people will want to make the necessary changes to improve their health. The bonus is that there are recipes for 4 weeks worth of meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Awesome!

For those of us who have struggled with our weight for the majority of our lives, we know that simply cutting back on our calories and fat ain’t gonna cut it. When most people get exacerbated by the continued failure of these kind of diets, they turn to weight loss pills or surgery instead. Not good!
That’s where Dr. Cathy Wong’s The Inside-Out Diet comes in. Instead of focusing on the weight loss (which will still happen, by the way!), this plan gets people to eat for the sake of their health instead by consuming a nutritional program that will allow your liver to function better than it ever has before. Yes, this is a detoxification diet, but it’s so much more.
I especially enjoyed the step-by-step approach of this diet looking at every possibility for why you might not be losing weight, including food allergies and intolerances, stress, excessive insulin production, and more. It’s as if Dr. Wong takes you by the hand to assure you that we WILL get to the bottom of your obesity problem and attack it from “the inside-out. ”
For fans of recipes, Dr. Wong includes 50 of her favorites in the back of the book. She earnestly believes in the slow, methodical approach to weight loss because it’s about eating healthier first and foremost. If more people took on this philosophy of eating primarily for the sake of their health, then obesity rates would drop faster than they ever have before.
