Non-Fiction Review

Your Scientific Diet for Men: Scientifically Guaranteed Fastest, Easiest, Cheapest, and Permanent Weight Loss
by Alan Ritz
ISBN-10: 159800655X
Review by Heather Froeschl

My initial thoughts after reading Alan Ritz’s book, “Your Scientific Diet (For Men)” were that I was afraid to eat anything for fear it was the wrong time of day. After thinking about it more though I realize that Ritz’s messages are well thought out and scientific in nature, so there must be something to them. His work is backed by study, makes sense, and will change the way his readers think about weight, food, and health.

This somewhat short book, for the content it holds, is a bombshell. The information is a step outside what one would normally expect in a “diet” book. This isn’t a diet guide, it is a lifestyle plan. There are ten key factors to Ritz’s plan, but I can’t give them all away so I’ll just mention a few…Drink at least your minimum of mineral water (figuring out what your minimum intake is, is part of the plan), know your target caloric intake (again, figuring this is explained and involves mathematical formulas), avoid the bad stuff like cigarettes, caffeine, alcohol, etc., and don’t cut out the carbs. Ritz explains what completely cutting the carbs does to your body and readers of popular diet plans are going to be shocked. Other parts of the scientific lifestyle include testosterone levels, understanding why you might be emotionally eating, and not eating cooked foods in the evening. This last one seems to be a big deal since many of us are programmed to have a nice cooked dinner in the evening. Find out why you shouldn’t be doing this to your body. Discover why water is so good for you, why you shouldn’t eat right before bed, and why sex has shown to be good for the body and maintaining a healthy weight!

“Your Scientific Diet (For Men)” is not light reading but it is light on the nonsense you might find in other diet books. Absolutely written for the man who wants to take charge, create a plan and follow through with it, I am sure that Ritz’s title will be a hit.
