I did the "diet" part but never got busy with the workout part. Using the eating philosophy I lost 52 pounds - I'm 5-11 and went from 210 to 158 in about seven months or so. So you can lose weight with the diet end of it though it does take some discipline. The "cheat" meal helped a lot. I've been able to maintain my weight steady in the 170s. Probably been two years or more since my weight wandered out of the range of 170-179. I recently picked the book up again to use the plan anew to drop about 10 pounds. This time I've decided to use the workout part of the book (I picked up a nice bench and weights off Craigslist). I've recruited a workout partner, grocery shopped based on the plan, picked up a large jar of whey and today will wrap up week 2 of a planned 20 week journey to not only learn to eat right again (and lose that 10 pounds). I put myself on a bedtime that gives me 7 hours sleep per night, started on the "plan" again and working out. After two weeks I've lost no weight (I contribute that to the whey more than anything) but I do feel like I have slightly less fat on my body, I feel better already and the aches and pains of starting the workouts is quickly fading. I'd recommend this book and plan to any male. It really is geared for men though the eating plan can work great for women too the whole book is geared towards men. It's a great diet/workout plan for guys especially if you have a partner. I tried the Abs Diet Plan about four years ago. I did the “diet” part but never got busy with the workout part.

To be honest i haven't seen much of a change (not expecting to in only a week and half) although my friends say they can see a diffrence. I'm not overweight I'm 5'5 and 130lb and I'm built big (big boned some people call it that) according to the book. Basically just want to see my abs and be able to find a diet plan that i can stick to for life not have to change it after 6 weeks. About the cheat meal I don't plan out a day to have one because what if i always have it on saturday and my friends birthday is on sunday and were all going out to eat. I think i would rather have cake with my friends then some ice cream sandwitch from the fridge. I really do thing this is a good diet its simple. I don't even feel like I'm on a diet. I reread the book cause i feel like I'm doing it wrong cause it's so simple. I will write again with my progress I have been on this diet for about a week and a half now.

For anymore who's already tried this, does it really help you lose stomach fat? I'm not overweight, I'm 5'3 and 118 pounds, but I really want a flat stomach.

Take the first couple of weeks and let the diet alone do it's work and then jump into the exercise. I've lost a good deal of weight and did enjoy a cheat meal (on occasion two) a week. After you go into maintenance mode, you get a cheat DAY. This is practically required. The diet does not try to be so strict that you quit because of certain guilty pleasures that you love; just learn temperance. Remember, diet is good, but too much diet without exercise will cause you to loose muscle as well as fat. You may also find that after a few weeks, you want to do more as you may feel as you are not doing enough, but keep your weight training on their days and cardio on its. The workout / exercise routine was created in a certain way for a reason, losing weight. I have used the ABS diet to get down to the weight that I want but have now adjusted it slightly to more of a building routine. Don't worry, give it a try, read the material so that you are not too strict on yourself (as most people tend to be and quit)and enjoy the new life and the results. BTW, my best friend started 10 days ago, diet only, and has lost 17 lbs (though he is a big boy). Good Luck!! Don’t worry.

For example it's not required to exercise for the first 3 weeks, and you have the one cheat day. so to someone that has followed the plan and lost a decent amount of weight, did you go ahead and give yourself that leeway or did you just attack full on from the beginning? lol please enlighten me:) the diet is great its well balanced and easy. but this plan also allows for a lot of leniency, so i wonder are people still getting these great results being as flexible as the plans says you can be?

If you are going to try this, make sure to take time to read the material before starting. If not, you may not get the results that you are looking for. Exercise and diet MUST go together. I am 5'6" and started at 197lbs. In 10 weeks, I am now at 159 lbs. I could have been further along but foolishly took about a week off. I can now, without thinking, pick out the foods that are best to eat wheh shopping and eating out and really have no desire to have cheat days with the exception of special occasions. Understand, this diet is a continous lifestyle and meant to be ongoing. I have tried a couple of other diet (adtkins, south beach, etc.) but none have worked as well as this.

NOTHING WORKS. Here's the thing, I have been working out 4-5 days per week for over a year. 1 hour of cardio each day, and weights 3 days a week. I watch what I eat. I've never been able to lose weight. No matter what I do, I just can't. I'm starting to think there's something wrong with me. I’ve pretty much tried every diet out there. NOTHING WORKS.
