ABOUT THE BOOK
In survey after survey, men and women say that a flat abdomen is the ultimate symbol of sex appeal. And in study after study, researchers found that getting a firm belly is the single most significant step anyone can take to stay healthy for life. Now available in paperback, The Abs Diet for Women shows the most effective way to a flat belly, a firm body, and a much better life.
Packed with information developed exclusively for women, the book includes:
-information on how the Abs Diet can prevent joint pain, improve female sexual response, and give a woman the flat belly she craves in just six weeks
-Abs Diet adaptations to tailor the diet to each woman’s individual needs
-psychological strategies for dealing with obstacles and changing moods
-3 weeks’ worth of all-new meal plans
-tips on managing menopausal symptoms without hormone replacement therapy
-new and super-effective moves that incorporate yoga and Pilates to strenghten the core, stretch the body, and relieve stress—plus a postpartum workout to help moms lose the baby weight
Easy to follow and more satisfying than a great-fitting pair of jeans, The Abs Diet for Women is the most effective way for a woman to change her health, her size, and her body for good.
"This is an amazing plan that has me eating so healthy its unreal!! I LOVE the smoothies and enjoy making up my own recipies for them as I go along. I have never felt better and my stomach is already flattening out. I use the smoothies for breakfast and sometimes snacks at night. They are so filling with skim milk, chocolate whey powder, PB and frozen fruits. Just like a shake. I am eating all natural now and I am really on top of not buying anything with high fructose corn syrup and saturated fats or trans fats. This is a fun, easy to read book that will change your life. You wont be disappointed."

"I was instructed by my doctor to get this book. I always make my book, dvd, or cd purchases on Amazon so that is why I bought it."

"Good book, David Zinczenko emphasizes on a balanced diet and focus on the 12 power foods. I listed the 12 power foods and put it on my fridge door, so I could constantly remind myself what to eat more. There are also detail instructions and pictures for some weight-training exercises. It's helpful for both gym goers and people who likes to work out at home. "

"I love the photos included in the book that shows the various techniques and excercies for each part of the muscle. Plus it has a guage to let the reader know if the particular excercise is for those who just started or those who have been working out for years. You don't have to start reading from the beginning. You can jump in anywhere and be well informed."

"I already had the Abs Diet for Men book but wanted to see how they modified the womens' version. I think women need to be more sensitive to quantity of food intake then men do, and I was curious as to how this book addressed it. They still stick to the theory that eating the 12 power foods will keep you from over eating, but in case you don't buy it, they spend some time crunching numbers for those who want to calorie count. The math they use, though a little complicated, seems valid and useful.
The contents of this book are VERY similar to the men's book. If you already own the mens' version, you probably don't need to shell out cash for this one. BUT where this book really impressed me was the quantity of exercises. It goes way above and beyond the mens' version, and I love this book for that reason alone. They also do a great job showing you gym versus home versions of exercises so you can do variations with more basic equipment (dumbbells only, etc.).
I'm looking forward to digging in and getting results. Even if I can't get a six pack, following what this book outlines will definitely make you healthy."
