"It's great to see weight-loss put in a health context, that losing weight is about beating the metabolic syndrome, beating diabetes, beating heart disease. The book is very easy to read and all of the science is sound. This is a very logical plan. If somebody is willing to follow this plan, they will lose weight."

"In a market flooded with piles of diet books urging people to eat low-fat and high-carb, low carb and high-protein, high-fat and no-carb - or some combination of the above - Hershberg's angle is unusually simple. Her concepts are easy to understand, including the idea that people should eat more "hottie" items - thermogenic foods that naturally burn a few calories when metabolized."

"Bottom line: Fighting fat with water is healthy, effective, and proven to work on even the most stubborn of all trouble spots. As for the Woman's World readers who tested the menus, they melted off up to nine pounds and 2 ˝ inches of belly fat in just seven days!"

"The Hershberg Diet is based on scientific and mathematical principles. It's not a fad diet - it's a dietary approach that makes sense and is backed by evidence. The book does an excellent job of explaining why eating certain foods, particularly those high in the "4th macronutrient", will help you to lose weight quickly and healthily while lowering your risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It's about teaching people how to look better, feel better, and ultimately, live healthier lives."

"The Hershberg Diet is original, thought provoking, and backed by science. Best of all, it's a diet that makes sense - it's healthy, balanced, safe, delicious, and sustainable for the long term."
