“This was a reminder for me as this was how I started in the first place with your 3 main tips. Then after a week and a half and starting to see results we bought the Diet Solution program. I am loving it. I am definitely seeing results and feeling heaps better. So is my husband. I have more energy best of all my trousers aren’t tight anymore. The one thing that does surprise me is that is I am not craving chocolate like I used to. Thanks heaps and keep up the motivation – there are days when I definitely need it.”

“Before I found Isabel’s nutrition tips online, I ate a diet consisting of a dangerously low amount of fat each day. I thought all fat was bad. Now I know Almonds, Flax seeds & Walnuts are good for me! At first I was scared to eat HEALTHY fats but once I did the pounds started coming off to my surprise! Calories used to be the first thing I looked at on a box, not caring what the ingredients were. Now Isabel has helped me train my mind differently. THE INGREDIENTS are the FIRST place you look! Her program broke my plateau. I’ve never been overweight but I felt like the scale was STUCK at 145 pounds no matter how much I worked out. Now I’m finally at my dream weight. I’m happy, I’m not starving, all of my co-workers and ex-boyfriends are jealous and I love my life!”

“I started on your DSP and lost 3.3 Ibs in the first week and a total of 5.5 Ibs within the targeted two weeks.  Although I didn’t lose the maximum 10 Ibs, I was totally on cloud nine because I had never lost so much weight in two weeks in my life.  What amazed me most was that my total body fat reading showed a whopping reduction of 33 to 15 and at the same time my muscle mass has increased. I’ve continued with DSP by religiously abstaining from all white foods, confining myself to just plain water and Chinese tea and dropping off wheat totally from all my meals.  Guess what?  I dropped another 9.5 Ibs making that a total of 15 lbs over the course of a month.  Initially, I was apprehensive as to whether a massive loss of 15 Ibs over four weeks would affect my energy levels. I was happy to discover that I was able to walk briskly for 2 to 3 hours in the morning and run for 90 minutes in the evening.  I am no salesman for Isabel but when results are emerging consistently, then I should give credit when it’s due. I thought it would be very difficult for a 54-year old to lose weight but I can strongly vouch that DSP has shattered all the myths and erroneous information about healthy body fat loss and revitalization of one’s energy.  I feel young again and it’s like getting a second wind in life.  Now aging becomes an enjoyable and graceful process for me.”

“I am very excited to have been literally educated on nutrition through the Diet Solution Program. I never had a problem with excess weight, yet I have always wanted to become leaner and drop my fat percentage. I achieved that within 12 weeks of applying the DSP’s concepts. There can’t be any better source of information for anyone interested in lowering fat levels or increasing muscle mass. But besides these targets, what is most important about this system is that it introduces the natural and healthy way of eating which subsequently leads to a happy lifestyle.

The combination of DSP along with intensive resistance training and interval cardio worked so well for me. I managed to achieve my goal while enjoying five meals a day rich in protein, carbohydrates and fat. Foods that I hardly ate in the past are now part of my diet, like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, raw cheese, sprouted spelt and almond butter. I have never been a good cook myself, now I have improved because I have learned how to combine protein/carbs/fat and this knowledge has triggered my interest towards preparing all my meals by myself. Not that I do not enjoy a cheat meal once a week, I do so happily (I go for a chocolate cake once in a while). I used to consume a lot of chocolate in the past, but by the time I managed to go on a balanced diet through DSP’s way, my body stopped craving sweets.
DSP’s suggestion on going organic is crucial. I believe that foods free from antibiotics, hormones and other substances can help a great deal. I avoid anything with ingredients I do not understand. I go for the easy way and that is ‘single ingredient food’.
My target now is to gain some muscle mass and substitute the weight that I lost in fat, with solid muscle. I do hope that I will see the results that I expect as I did during my effort for fat loss. But even if I don’t manage to build the amount of muscle I want, I will still be glad in that I have finally found the right way for healthy eating and a happy lifestyle.”

“I really enjoy your e-mails. I am fit at 60 years old and have always subscribed to a healthy diet with adequate exercise. Your constant input has been a positive reinforcment of my lifestyle choices. I wondered if some of the younger men would recieve some confidence to realize their bodies don’t have to look bad at 60 if they saw my photo. Keep up the encouragement!”

“The Diet Solution Program is definitely much better than Dr. Suzanne’s Top Secret Fat Loss Secret, Strip That Fat and Warp Speed Fat Loss. Hands down, this is definitely one of the best, and possibly the most comprehensive weight loss guide I’ve read so far. What I really like is your Quick Start Guide which clearly sets a pathway to weight loss success, provided the reader implements the instructions inside this manual. In addition, the Action Steps included at the end of every topic make sure the reader fully grasps the content well and implements the strategies accordingly. With The Shopping List and Recipes, I don’t see any excuse why the reader would face any problems in losing those extra pounds. I feel really privileged to have been invited to review the content of this amazing book.

…definitely one of the best!”

“I’ve been overweight my whole life. My complete lack of knowledge about proper nutrition and health led to Adult Onset Diabetes which eventually affected my kidneys and landed me on dialysis. If I only knew that the consequences of unhealthy eating were going to be as severe as dialysis, I might have started a weight loss program a lot sooner. Four years into my dialysis treatments (that’s 3x’s a week of 4 hour painful, hospital treatments-not a pleasant experience) I was finally called in for a kidney transplant. That was only half the battle. Now taking care of my new kidneys was entirely up to me. In all the time leading up to my transplant, I never followed through with my daughter’s nutritional suggestions. Here, perfect strangers were paying her hundreds of dollars for her nutrition advice, and I never believed I had the “will power” to do it. After my surgery, I made the choice to put my trust in my daughter’s nutrition plan instead of listening to the hospital dietitian. The hospital’s plan was almost the exact opposite of what Isabel was recommending, but based on her previous results with hundreds of clients, I knew that was the best choice for me.

The doctor warned me that the heavy steroids I was taking post-transplant would cause immediate weight gain (30-40 lbs in most people). To his surprise in the first 3 months after my surgery I lost 25 lbs and that was on the steroids. He said he never saw someone lose weight like this. My blood work was so great, he began to take me off my medications, one by one. First the blood pressure medication went, then the cholesterol medication went, and then the insulin was almost completely eliminated. Now, this is almost unheard of in a 65 year old diabetic who has undergone kidney transplant. Normally in these cases you are completely dependent on medication to keep your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure under control.

Now one year later, I am 40 pounds lighter! The doctors tell me I’m a pure miracle. It’s no miracle, it’s my daughter’s nutrition plan! I have never felt better in my life. I have more energy now at 65 than I ever did at 30, 40 or 50. I am going to live every day like it’s my last and will not deviate from my incredible new eating regimen. I can’t believe I didn’t follow Isabel’s nutrition plan earlier. It’s really so simple and it has given me my life back. I wish I would have known this information 10 years ago and maybe my health struggles would have not been so severe. There is no need for you to go through the same struggle I did. Please don’t suffer the same consequences of your unhealthy weight. Remember these consequences are much greater than just a few extra numbers on the scale. Your health and your life is literally dependent on it.”

“This year I gave myself the best birthday present, The Diet Solution Program! With Isabel’s meal plans I lost 15 pounds and 8 total inches off my body. And the best part was that I did it in less than 6 weeks. My favorite part was I never felt hungry on the plan and sticking to it was a lot easier than I thought. This program was so different than all the others I had tried in the past because I was never hungry and I lost weight. I couldn’t believe it. I always thought you had to go hungry to lose weight but Isabel’s program taught me otherwise. Now, I continue to practice the wonderful nutrition principles I learned in The Diet Solution Program and have been able to maintain my weight loss. Thank you Isabel for creating a program that was easy to follow and proved great results!”

“I have been using your diet plan for just 4 weeks and have gone from 254 lbs. since starting your program to 212.4 lbs now. My doctor says she wants me to get down to 160 or 165 lbs. I told her I didn’t remember the last time I was that small, but I’m on my way. I have been taking 1 cheat day a week, when I will eat anything I want. (within reason of course). My energy level has gone right through the roof. At work in the Maintenance dept. at Wal*Mart I have been told that I work circles around other guys in the store. Before your program I could not walk 100 feet without getting winded. Now I can’t sit still. My steps have gone from real slow small ones to really stretching it out. I feel GREAT! ”

“I found you through Mike Geary’s TAAB’s new letters. I just wanted to say that as a former NASM CPT, you are so dead-on in your approach and I’ve enjoyed all your emails. While I’ve not kept up my Cert, I have continued to leverage my training in ways that benefit myself and others who want to improve their health and well being. It’s always been an education process, people just don’t understand how their bodies work, and most, not all, of the trainers that I see in my gym (LifeTime Fitness, Berkeley Heights, NJ) do the same tired exercises with their clients. In fact, people who have had training see my work out and ask me if I could train them because they didn’t get the results they expected from their CPT. I create my own cardio/strength training routine. It’s a full body, high intensity, balance-challenging, combination of movements with as little rest as possible and in under an hour I’m soaked! Heart is pounding! No treadmills or ellipticals for me. Like you, I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with those who want to make real changes in their life. But the most troubling thing I hear is how people talk about their diet. OMG, they just don’t understand body chemistry at all. I have forwarded your emails with my praise to many people so hopefully you should get some newcomers. I wish you much success. I know you’re going to have a fabulous career because you’re doing what you love and you have the right stuff! It’s been a real pleasure. ”

“I have been following your 4-week program which includes exactly what to put in my mouth – when and what exercises to do – how many, how often!! It’s wonderful and I’m finally seeing some results.

Some of us just need to be taken by the hand and led and your program is exactly what I needed.”

“Let me start from the beginning. In March of 2003 I was injured at work and had to have five surgeries in the next several years to finally repair my right shoulder. The last one in 2007 was the final and most painful of them all. I had to be hospitalized for three and a half months before I could return home on my own. I weighed 242lbs in April of 2007. I began going online to find out the most effective methods of getting back into shape. I found a few methods written by body builders/nutritionists that seem to work. I lifted weights for years throughout the late seventies, eighties and into the nineties. I knew how to exercise but because of my injury I had to work around many obstacles. I was doing OK then one day I found your site and downloaded your book. It has been the most useful of all. I now weigh 190 in large part because of your expertise.  Thanks for your continuing support.”

“The exciting part of your strategy is that I have NO cravings, no desire to eat at night. I feel that I am eating healthier and I am not controlled by my cravings. This is a diet I can live with so I know I am making changes that will stick. I have lost about 11 pounds in 4 weeks so I am happy.

One strategy that has changed dramatically for me is switching to organic milk. I used to drink 4 or 5 glasses of skim milk a day. Since switching to organic milk I don’t have the craving I once had.

I also do not crave sweets anymore. I don’t use artificial sweetners and now can refuse desserts without feeling deprived. This is huge.

I have incorporated other organic foods into my diet and feel good….much better than I did with my old eating habits.

Thank you for this fabulous program.

”

“Isabel, it helps that you are one of those people who does care about what happens to others because you have been there also!!!!!

I care about you and other fitness experts who are honest enough to know the correct routines to guide and sculpt our bodies!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you again for the support and for some interesting ways to help ourselves in the line of becoming svelt once and for all!!!!!!!!! ”

“I always considered myself to be in decent shape, working out 5 days a week, but still had some weight I wanted to lose. This program really opened my eyes to the mistakes I was making in my eating and the results were amazing! I only really needed to lose 10 lbs but the most amazing part was the 10.5 total inches I lost from my waist, hips and thighs. Even better, I saw quick results and finally “learned” how to eat. I never felt unsatisfied or hungry on the program. I am so grateful my best friend forwarded me Isabel’s website! Thanks Isabel! I am so happy I decided to do this program.”

“This book is for people who are serious about permanent weight loss and superb health. If you are ready to take back your life and open your mind, here it is people. This book was so good that I actually almost burned down my apartment reading it (yikes, don’t cook and read at the same time!). Isabel unapologetically tells the “experts” (doctors, advertisers, pharmaceutical companies and anyone else who is making money keeping you fat and sick) exactly where they can stick their bogus information. If you are ready to take a good look at yourself and the addictive (albeit socially acceptable) harmful habits that have been holding you back and reach for a higher existence starting with amazing health, The Diet Solution is for you.”

“Thank you for writing your very informative, insightful, and tremendously helpful book. It’s funny how truly little we start off knowing about taking care of our bodies, having a lean physique, and a strong, healthy heart & mind. It’s no wonder, in the past, I have never been able to achieve real results. I knew nothing about nutrition, and I never thought about eating healthy to lose weight.
Your work has transformed the way I feel and think about foods and my relationship to living a healthy lifestyle.
I am so thankful to have found you. You’re an amazing role model! You change the lives of people everyday. I hope you continue doing the work you do. After listening to your videos, blog, work, and emails I realize the amount of misinformation that is in the world. Your voice has been incredibly helpful, positive, and reassuring that I can achieve my ideal weight”

“I have enjoyed reading The Diet Solution very much. It has provided me a new education on nutrition and how I think about food. So far I have lost around 20 pounds by incorporating Isabel’s suggestions into my diet. Her e-mails and video blogs are very inspiring and keep me going and I love reading them. I am constantly recommending The Diet Solution and find myself quoting Isabel quite frequently!!!”

“Most of the books I’ve read and diets I have studied have been appalling. Horrible when someone is depriving themselves and having such a hard time with a protocol and you know they are only setting themselves up for failure. I must say, of all the programs I have read, yours is by far and away the best, most complete, most balanced, most natural and most sustainable. I employ essentially the same principals when working with my own clients – whether their goal is weightloss, disease prevention or disease recovery.

Great book, great tips, great recipes, and great information. Thank you!”

“After reading Isabel’s Diet Solution I was completely blown away. This is the most complete diet and nutrition program that I have found by far and Isabel is definitely one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field. Most diet and nutrition authors are terribly misinformed, and are still preaching about diet strategies that just don’t work. With so many “experts” parading all over the internet posing as gurus it is difficult to navigate through all of the fads and gimmicks to see what really works and what is a lie.

Isabel does an awesome job dispelling many of the prevalent diet myths that are so common in our society today such as “eating a low carb, low fat, or low calorie diet” are the best ways lose weight. Not only does The Diet Solution explain what to do, it explains how to do it. The entire process is broken down step-by-step, and Isabel coaches you through it all, making it practically impossible for you to fail.

If you are serious about your health and want a better body, I encourage you to take action today and pick up a copy of The Diet Solution!”

“You’re reading this page and you’re probably wondering how in the heck this program is going to help you when every other diet you’ve ever tried hasn’t. You’re frustrated, you’re skeptical, and you know what? You should be. The fat-loss industry has failed you. As a whole, it’s an institution that seems to be more concerned with making a buck than it is about actually helping you.

Disheartening, I know.
But fortunately, there’s another side to this business that you seldomly see. The few and far between. The folks in our line of work that actually care and put things like honesty and integrity above quick-fixes, fads, and gimmicks. People like Isabel De Los Rios.

To say that I’m proud to call Isabel a colleague is an understatement. What she has done with The Diet Solution Program is something that many others wouldn’t dare do—toss the hype and instead deliver a program that actually works. You see, while this particular eating regimen may lack a catchy hook, the one thing it doesn’t lack is a no-fail program, scientifically based, that is sure to deliver the results you’re after. Forget dieting, forget gimmicks, and forget your past failures. In The Diet Solution Program Isabel De Los Rios provides exactly that—a real solution to your fat loss struggles. Buy it.”

“Isabel’s Diet Solution Program is the first nutrition program that I’ve found that I actually agree with 100%. Most “diet” authors are misinformed about certain aspects of nutrition, but in my opinion Isabel is one of the most knowledgeable in this field, which is so heavily crowded with conflicting information and gimmicks or fads.
She gives the honest facts you need to know about why soy is NOT a health food, the truth about “whole grains”, why artificial sweeteners might be harming you, good dairy vs bad dairy, how to eat right for your specific body type, and much more startling information!
If you care about your health (and your loved ones) and about getting a lean fit body for life, this program is an absolute must read. But don’t just read it… take action!”

“Isabel, I am doing so GREAT and I am SO EXCITED about this plan and how well I am progressing. In the just the first 3 weeks I’ve lost 9 lbs. You really put together a winner for me. I’ve tried lots of diet plans, but nothing like yours. Not only is it good, I’m a very, very, picky eater to start and I found all the foods were foods I like. It’s always been difficult for me to put the right foods together and not feel hungry. Now, I’m happy to say I’m learning how to do that and I just can’t thank you enough!!”

“Not too long ago, I was given a grim diagnosis by my doctor (“We’re unsure if you’ll be with us 2 hours from now”) and I knew my life had to change then and there. I decided to start living everyday like it was my last. I knew I had to lose weight but nothing had ever worked for me in the past. Thanks to Isabel’s program and inspirations, I lost 56 pounds, and also stopped smoking in the process. My self esteem increased, my income increased, and I am now the happiest man in the world. On top of everything else I will be getting married next year to my beautiful girlfriend Svetlana! It’s amazing what losing 56 pounds can do for your life.”

“Not only did I lose weight on the Diet Solution Program, I gained an incredible amount of energy. I love the changes I see in my body and, of course, love the reactions I get from my friends and family when they see me. No other weight loss plan has given my body more definition and curves, losing weight from all the right places. These meal plans were so realistic for me and easy for me to follow. Thank you Isabel for giving me the tools to feel so great!”

“Thank you so much for finally helping find a way of eating I can live with! I knew there was something out there and I have tried everything from Atkins, to South Beach, Lindora Lean for Life, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Jennie Craig, Jillian Michaels to LA Weightloss…you name it….I’ve tried it. Nothing has given me the dramatic results of your program in just 3 days. For the first time in my life I am not ruled by thoughts of food. I eat, and I am satisfied for far longer than I have ever been, and it was all because my ratios were off. I’ve eaten all the suggested foods before, but never in the quantities recommended and I have never felt in control. I have anally tracked my food intake for years trying to find a way of eating that I could easily maintain and live with….lol…I could tell you what I had for dinner on any given day last year. I knew that 1500 calories was the magic number that would allow me to lose weight, but I could NEVER eat that few calories without being constantly bombarded by feelings of hunger and horrible cravings. My average intake has been 1800-2000 calories and I have maintained the same weight for 12 years. With your program I easily consume 1400-1500 calories without hunger or cravings. That has never happened before. I’m finally on my way to losing the 10-20lbs I have been fighting all my life. Thank you for giving me a sense of control. It is truly amazing.”
