FYI: I'm a male. What drew me to this book was that it was published by the Mayo Clinic and is not a fad diet. The concepts in the book work. I actually lost about 8 pounds in the first 2.5 weeks on the diet and about another 2 pounds in the following week (my goal is to lose 15 pounds). The book motivated me to start to eat right and exercise (which I do for about 1 hour every day; burning between 300 and 500 calories on the oliptical + some light weight exercise). I became somewhat obsessed with eating the right foods as suggested in the book and got into an "exercise rut" (no matter how tired I was I exercised). The book is laid out fairly well and easily readable; although I find that it jumps around a bit - I would suggest reading Part 3 first (like I did) to get a basic understanding of eating and exercise and then go full bore into Lose It (Part 1). And read Part 2 and Part 3 (again). I saw results and that motivates me to continue to eat healthier and exercise. Good Luck!

I like the book and find the information helpful.The changing habit thing is worthwhile to consider. The price is right so I say take a chance.

I liked the book because it was extremely practical and I could actually use their recommendations in my everyday life. It was simple, easy, and they gave actions steps so I could actually apply the principles to my life. The bad part about the book was much of the nutrition information isn't the best. For instance, they recommend drinking lots of low-fat milk which is highly allergenic and highly processed. They also push eating processed grains like breads, cereals, and pasta. My favorite part of the book was the change 5 habits section. It is simple and I can see it can radically change my life. They recommend: Adding 5 Good Habits, Break 5 Habits, and Adopt 5 Bonus Habits. Also, they had a section that helped you lay out a plan and set goals that was extremely helpful. So here is the simple breakdown. <br /> <br />The Good: <br />Helps you break bad habits and add in healthy ones <br />Helps you strategize a plan to reach your goals <br />Has Recipes with pictures <br />It's realistic and works <br /> <br />The Bad: <br />Nutrition advice is little bit off in my book (they still adhere to the low-fat trends of the 1970's) <br /> <br />I recommend this book to anyone who wants to make simple and realistic changes.

It’s realistic and works

I will tell you that it is a lifestyle change but once you figure it out, it becomes second nature. I lost 8 pounds in two weeks and my husband lost 14. The study ended after 2 weeks. I did learn a lot but it certainly took time to figure out what foods are approved. I highly recommend this diet and intend to give it another try, this time adding the maintenance portions.

What I love about this method is that it is doable. That's right... it is simple steps that the journal (I love the journal!) helps you calculate and keep up on day to day. <br />The Journal has a Habit Tracker within it so you can put in your starting weight... and check off the habits you are applying each day. This is great for someone wired like me as I have to have the visual in front of me.... plus, I like goals... and challenges... <br />With great habits to remember like eating a healthy breakfast, fruits and vegies daily, eating whole grains, healthy fats - and my favorite habit: MOVE! That's right - get out there and well, MOVE! :) <br />In the two week period you will also be encouraged to break 5 habits and this is good to doccument as well - like no eating while watching TV (guilty!), No sugar, no snacks, only moderate meat and dairy, and no eating at restaurants. <br />Now this is just part of the journal habits to break. In the two week period if we focus on breaking these habits we are on our way to new and healthier ways to enjoy life... The back of the book has a break down of good carbs and healthy choices as well as recipes. This book will be one I can refer to again and again! <br /> <br />The book talks about what motivates us... find what will give you an ongoing, burning desire to succeed. For me - I love being fit. I feel better about myself, I have more energy and I am just better. I dont know any other way to describe it. In September of this past year I fell a little off my routine and have yet to get back into where I was. I started not eating as healthy and skipping some of my workouts. My time management became cluttered and now in January I find myself 7 pounds heaver than my usual 125 pounds. <br />So - in light of this review - a new year, a great read... I am starting this two week program today. I will probably do a recap at the end of the two weeks on how I did. This book has motivated me to do what I need to do to get back on track. Using the journal as a guide and the book to help me with those pitfalls I am looking forward to and expecting success. <br />I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book and cant say enough about the journal. Having a workbook that I need to keep track of what I am doing daily is a great motivator for me.

Loss Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:24:42 +0000 http://www.bestweightlossdiary.com/apidexin/#comment-875 The first time I used this product, I took it as directed in the morning while I was at work. A half hour after I took it, I was running back and forth to the bathroom. It made my stomach really upset and I felt like I was on something. I was really jittery and just all around didn't feel right. When I ate my lunch I felt so sick afterward, I almost threw up. I understand it takes time to adjust to certain things, but I never want to take this pill again. I hated the way I felt when I took it and I never want to feel that way again.

I assumed this would pass as my body adjusted. I was completely wrong. On the second day of taking the recommended doses I actually became extremely ill. I began vomiting uncontrollably among other things. I literally could not leave the bathroom for more then 5 minutes at a time. I had the chills, excruciating abdominal pain and a fever. It has been almost 3 days now and although the vomiting has subsided, I am so weak I can barely stand long enough to take a shower. I have tried numerous supplements in the past and have NEVER had an adverse reaction such as this. It is absolutely not worth it. Although I've recently contacted the company regarding what I need to do to return the product for the refund, refund or not, this was not worth how horrible I've felt for days now.

I currently weigh about 150-153 and would like to get down to 135-140 like I was the month before I began attending college. I started taking apidexin February 15 and weighed at that time around 157 - 161. I have been exercising for about 60 minutes moderately, 3-4 times per week and have been eating well, although I tend to eat a few unhealthy meals per week and engage in drinking moderately one day per week. <br />As far as side effects go, I have not experienced any jittering, nausea, or stomache cramps. I had severe trouble sleeping only the first night I took it but I am positive it was mind over matter. My one tremendously aweful side effect would be the way I feel the morning after I drink. I have never been one to experience hangovers. I can usually wake up very early and even go running or do something active after a night of drinking. But once I began the pill, the morning after I drank for the first time while taking it, I thought I was going to die. I had never felt that horrid in my life. Never was a puker, but that day I was. One week later, I drank a bit less than the previous time, and felt pretty crappy the next morning, but thankfully less severe than prior and no puking :) <br />I am going to give this pill until April 15th, means I have a 2 month supply, and if it begins to work durastically I may get another bottle. I will post another update in a few weeks. Rating: 4 / 5 I am a 5′6″ 21 yr. female.

But the 72hr detox worked amazing and certainly jump started the fat burning and the apidexin kept it going. After only a month, (im not overweight, was just using it to tone up) im in great shape! Give this a try you wont be disappointed! Rating: 5 / 5 I was quite skeptical as I’ve tried a whole bunch of different products like this with very low success rates.
