Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What I really like about this book is that the claims are backed by research. There are pages and pages of endnotes in the back of the book that reference the studies -- from reputable sources such as the Journal of the American Medical Assoc., and Harvard.
I am a 40 year old, type II diabetic with high blood pressure. I have now been on the diet for 2 weeks and my sugar levels are under very good control. I have also lost 8 pounds. (I haven't yet checked the blood pressure)
Another positive is that this diet isn't so restrictive that you can't stay on it. It is a common sense, practical approach to eating and exercise. I don't have to give up coffee, wine, and even the occasional beer or two. Also, it's ok to cheat on occasion.
The back of the book is loaded with recipes. The publisher info listed above says 280 pages, but my book is 378 pages. The cover looks exactly the same, so maybe the 280 is a typo.
Anyway, if you are looking for a good approach to eating, getting healthy and losing weight, buy this book.

It's rare when a diet comes along that really makes an impact. The Gold CoastCure is that kind of diet program. It's not just an eating plan that helps you look and feel great in your favorite jeans--it's a way of living that vastly improves your health and prevents disease. That's what it did for coauthor Ivy Larson, whose multiple sclerosis left her unable to walk up a flight of stairs until she and her husband, Andrew Larson, M.D., devised the Gold Coast Cure--an anti-inflammatory nutritional plan consisting of whole foods--which put her MS in remission for the past eight years.
Since then, The Gold Coast Cure has helped thousands of people lose weight, tone up, and prevent or reverse health conditions related to poor nutrition, obesity and inflammation, including:
heart disease
high blood pressure
high cholesterol
type II diabetes
osteoporosis
osteoarthritis
asthma
allergies
fibromyalgia
multiple sclerosis
vascular dementia
You will see results immediately and reach your goal in just five weeks. The secret to the success of the Gold Coast Cure is its realistic approach to nutrition--no obsessing over calories or carb-counting, and you can indulge in one sweet treat and one alcoholic beverage a day--every day! With over seventy-five delicious whole foods recipes, two weeks of meal plans, and a time-saving fitness routine that you can do in just thirty minutes, three times a week, it's easier than ever to make the Cure work for you.
"..For those who've struggled with any of the diets being touted by today's high-profile experts, the hope the Larsons offer will likely come as refreshing news."-Publishers Weekly
