Not Impressed
I thought it would be more - but honestly it was a lot of fluff. The Jist was fast... 16 hours no food, 8 hours healthy food choices... do that for 5-7 days to kick start, then maintain with either, 12 hours fast/12 hours eat healthy, or 14 hours fast/ 10 hours refuel (eat)... I obviously didn't read ever page - I received the book yesterday... but I skimmed through and it didn't take long b/c its very basic. I wasn't impressed - save $$ and gets tips from Google! Sorry Dubrows - but stick to surgery and Bravo and you'll do fine!

I choose Dr. Fung
So much information available on this subject. Read the Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung — and definitely watch his YouTube videos. He knows his stuff — you’ll thank me!

intermittent fasting is good but old news
there are many excellent books on "interval eating." disapointed in Dr. Phil as the end of many shows are informercials for his family and friends.

Informative and enjoyable book on intermittent fasting
I purchased this book, received yesterday and read quickly. The bad reviews are completely unfair. I've been doing intermittent fasting based on YouTube videos since 10/1/18 and it works! I was looking for a book to breakdown some of the details and this book did exactly that. I would have liked to see more information on longer fasts because dieters can increase the fasting window and eat more liberally. I've been eating a lot of healthy food; organic vegetables, grass-fed meat, wild fish, sauerkraut for gut and tubers. I'm losing 3 lbs a week on average, more the 1st week (water weight). You can increase the fast, not exercise a ton (I walk every other day and do a very little resistance training) and eat yummy desserts or snacks during your feeding window. I love this way of eating. Do not feel like I'm dieting and the pounds are coming off. I eat huge meals on the weekend! But again, my fasting window is longer, usually 20 to 22 hours. I started with 16 hours and didn't eat if I wasn't hungry which lead me to longer fasting windows. I believe I can easily eat this way for the rest of my life. Thanks for the book, I truly enjoyed it.

Shame on you Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil endorsed simply because his son was publisher.
Waste of paper and ink. Same old 6-7. Fast. Eat. Fast.

Lame
Do not waste your money. This is a rip off of Jason Fung's book on intermittent fasting. Read that instead.It's much better. If you are curious about this book go to Barnes and Noble and thumb through it for 15 minutes. That's all you need. No reason to waste money on this.

Intermittent Fasting
I think Dubrow is a great doctor and a great guy, but you can’t just slap your name on literally the hottest diet trend for the last two years, and make it your own… It’s called intermittent fasting.

Not what you think!!
I like the concept of intermittent fasting and agree with it wholeheartedly, and this book focuses on that and gives much good information on why it works. However, when reading further and seeing the recommendations in the what to eat and how much to eat, you soon realize that anyone would lose weight just by following that, REGARDLESS of eating during designated intervals. They turned a great concept back into a content diet. I saw the authors on Dr. Phil and got sucked in to their enthusiasm (sales pitch effective?). Also note that it just so happens that Dr. Phil's son is the publisher. I have done just about every diet out there and every one of them works. I think that intermittent fasting or interval eating is probably the healthiest way to lose weight but you definitely don't need this book for that. I don't think you should bother with this book AT ALL. Just learn about intermittent fasting on You Tube. You don't need to waste money on this book!

It’s not “Dubrow Diet”. It’s intermittent fasting.
Just finished this book. As everyone said, there are much better books out there about intermittent fasting written by more qualified experts. I don’t know why they call it the “Dubrow Diet” when it’s not their idea to begin with.However two main things that I personally took out of this book:1- The body burns all its carbs reserves after 12 hours of fasting and starts burning fat hence why 16 hours fast-8 hours feed cycle is effective for fat loss.2-Fasting activates autophagy which is the body’s cell self-cleaning process.That’s it, nothing more for me. I’m sure you can find this information in much better resources about intermittent fasting that are not linked to advertising certain supplements.

Waste of time
The recipes are rubbish and the rest of the book can be summed up : eat for 8 hours and don't for the other 16. Done.

Recipes
It was good to read both Heather and Terry’s journey with food however I found some of the recipes too expensive for me as I’m on a low income. I was curious as after watching Heather on RHOC she always made it clear she couldn’t and very rarely cooked. It would be wonderful if we could all afford a chef to make our food.
