With all due respect to Deepok Chopra ; I do know he is a doctor, and he has probably a great deal of training in medical sciences. But simply compare the physique of Mr. Deepok Chopra and the author of this book. Its night and day! The author is nearing 50 as well and he has an excellent physique.
I personally am very thin, I usually work out twice a day. I don't have a problem with fat because I have a high metabolism. But I wanted to simplify my life, and get off the eating 6 times a day thing, similar to burn the fat, feed the muscle diet. I tried it for a while and I just started to loath eating.
Now I feel energized, I still eat, you eat fruits and veggies and juices during the day, and feast at night. Its really great to actually look forward to eating again! I plan my meals, enjoy my food completely, have dessert, and eat as much as I want. Its really a great diet for the lifestyle I want.
I have lost a bit of body fat around my stomach, I must have like 8 or 9%, so I'm not really a good gauge of how well someone can lose fat on this diet.
I have also noticed that I am stronger. There is a section on fitness as well. I combine some of what he suggests and lots of body weight exercises. I swim alot and occasionally do yoga.
So what I was hoping is to find if someone has been on this diet longer, if there were any side effects or anything I should be made aware of. So far, its been invigorating.
