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:

-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

Just like Abs Diet for Men, but almost too similar
My husband and I went on the Abs Diet last year and did great. I saw this new book and thought maybe I could tailor the Abs Diet for me, as a woman. I thought things would be a little more differentiated, but the changes from the "men's" book are minimal. The recipes and basic concepts are the same. A lot of the book focuses on post-baby weight, which is not my concern (yet). The testimonials are from women and the exercises are photos of women, but other than that, it's not really any different than the men's version. If you're both trying out the diet, you might as well stick to the men's version and save a few bucks. But, if it's just you (and you're a woman), then give this "diet" a shot.

We had great results and felt a lot better eating the recommended foods. Beyond that, you don't even start the exercises 'til you're 3 weeks into the program! Great for those who need to ease into a new diet/program.

Good book ;-O
I found this book to be very interesting and helpful, yet a lot of the information in here isn't necessarily new. There is talk about how you can use foods to try to prevent osteoporosis, what to eat when you are going through menopause, how to cope with joint pain and also includes a stress relieving workout.
David is the Mens Health magazine editior in chief. He's knowledgable and he knows his stuff. You can trust that this information is accurate and very helpful.
The principles behind this book is that good abs begin in the kitchen more than in the gym. You really have to eat right; a variety of foods, healthy fats, good for your carbs, lean proteins and foods that speed up your metabolism. ABS stands for Almonds, Beans and Spinach (and other green vegetables). DIET stands for Dairy (low fat), Instant Oatmeal (or foods that take longer to digest and keep you fuller longer), Eggs (the better kind of protein for muscle) and Turkey (another lean protein).
I like this book because as you read through it, you realise that not only do you need to do cardio, but you need to be so aware of what you cook and eat and being concious of all these foods, helps you make all the right choices (hopefully).

I'm sure it works for some people but....
My friends at work and I were so excited when we saw the article in Women's Health Magazine giving two week menu's and the basics of this "way of life". We bought the book. The three of us religiously followed it for one month. Disappointingly, not one of us lost one inch of "belly fat" or any weight at all. Surprisingly, we all agreed that while it did not live up to the promise of "1 inch of belly fat in 2 weeks" it totally changed our way of eating. All of a sudden we all had lots of energy and felt physically wonderful. All three of us have agreed that we have not felt this energetic in years. While the book did not live up to the promise of flatten your belly in six weeks, it certainly is worth reading just to feel "physically" better.
