I bought this book the first week of January but didn't think it was fair to rate it until I gave it a little time. About 3 months later I'm down 18ish pounds and about 4 inches off the gut. Roughly the same for my wife. It's like magic. Well, not exactly magic. We've prepared and cooked more food from scratch than I have in my entire life. There is a lot of prep, at least for what I'm used to, but it's easy to stick to and the food we're making is delicious.

Overall the book is telling you the same thing we've been hearing from our families since we were young. Eat right and exercise. Who would've thought right?Feb 09, 2015
I had high hopes for this book. I was imagining what my belly might look like if this book really worked. I bought it and began reading. And reading. More reading. Where is the diet? Shouldn't a diet be a list of foods to eat and avoid? And for the foods to eat, how much? Finally. I located the sample meal plan. Now, I thought, I can get down to planning for the foods that I need to consume and avoid. At a glance, I knew that I would starve to death on this diet because there was not A SINGLE I had high hopes for this book. I was imagining what my belly might look like if this book really worked.

At a glance, I knew that I would starve to death on this diet because there was not A SINGLE THING ON THE MEAL PLAN THAT I RECOGNIZED! Each item on the plan was a recipe with a page number underneath so I can decode what it all means. And guess what? I can't cook. I really like the idea of the paleo diet because I can read it. Beef. Fruit. Salad. Nuts. I can relate to that. I get up at 4:30 in the morning in order to get to work. I am NOT standing over the stove to stir up my "Thin Elvis Oatmeal."Jan 11, 2015
I actually bought this book.....I'm still trying to decide if it was a good purchase. The book makes sense... But the list of foods is short. :( no ideas on substitutions either. Most of us can't walk into a grocery store and buy a PBA free can of beans. Do we want to lose belly fat.....yes. If someone would just write a book on how to find foods that are easy to buy...there's a book I'd like. I'm going to try Kroger and fresh market this week.

Most of these smoothies....yuck. Guess I got to keep trying until I like one. The plant protein...store only had mixed berry. Double yuck. But after only a day, I do feel less bloated. ...moreApril 24, 2015
This book didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Processed foods are bad and protein is good for you...its almost like a modified Atkins diet. Also a bit pricey considering the quality of information provided.January 9, 2015

This book is a complete guide to losing weight, becoming healthy, and staying there. The author does an amazing job of describing every tool needed for success. He discusses foods and gives recipes, and describes exercises with detailed descriptions and pictures. I am a health coach and will require every one of my clients to read this.Jan 15, 2015
This was an easy evening read, and offered a lot of helpful science-based insights and easy-to-incorporate dietary choices.Mar 10, 2015
Not a whole lot of new information here. I picked this book because I like this author's other books (Eat This, Not That), but was slightly disappointed. It's the same advice as always: no sugar, no white flour. I already eat this way and I was looking for some fresh recipes and ideas, however, this was all of the same information, just presented in a different way. A good diet for someone just getting started, though.Jan 06, 2015
Everything he suggested made sense to me. The questions you ask yourself about each meal and snack make it easy to ensure you're following the eating plan. He writes very accessibly. I lost four lbs the first week!January 16, 2015
Very interesting. I didn't realize how bad belly fat is for overall health. Plan looks easy and foods are all ones I will actually eat. Can't wait to start. :)Jan 01, 2015
Very interesting! A little different than some others I have read, as the author says he wants us to think of high fiber, not low carb. I am going to try it for 6 weeks.Jan 17, 2015
Zero Belly DietJun 17, 2015
I love Zinczenko's "Eat This, Not That" books, specifically for their breezy, no-nonsense tone and delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes. "Zero Belly" could definitely benefit from the concise writing style (and beautiful photos!) of the "ET,NT" books; there are far too many repetitious pages here in the vein of "This book is gonna teach you this, and this, and this, and this..." which you skim and skim, waiting for whatever it is you're supposed to learn to appear.

Fully one half of this book doesn't need to exist; or, rather, that half should be replaced by recipes. Seriously, by page ten I was already convinced that Zinczenko knew what he was talking about and was eager to get to the actionable plan/ see what foods I needed to buy, not have him keep trying to convince me of how good this diet is for another hundred pages. If you want to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the different types of fat that exist in the human body, prepare for hours of delight; if you want to find some healthy, great tasting recipes that might help you lose weight, read "Eat This, Not That." ...moreJul 24, 2017
I picked this up at the library, despite the horrible title, because I was looking at the accompanying cookbook at the bookstore and thought it had some really good-looking recipes--real food, not fake low-fat stuff, and lots of whole grains and vegetables.Dec 25, 2018
Bought this based on a great excerpt "How to Burn Belly Fat Fast", which offered 14 tips ... yet to finding those tips within the book is not an easy task. While the author no doubt has to write for the masses, not sure how many people really want to read all the filler yap. The first three chapters pretty much say the same thing ... belly fat sucks and this diet will help. In part 2, chapter 5, I still can't find the 9 super nutrients that target belly fat ... or is it 9 zero belly food groups?

There's recipes and I think I finally figured out the gist of the diet. The 7 day zero belly cleanse looks promising, but that's all the way at page 261. I think a cliff note's version would be fantastic, especially for those of us who know how they got the belly fat, just want to know how to get rid of it. And the 16 lbs in 14 days ... where are the guidelines for that exactly? ...moreJul 05, 2018
Pros:May 24, 2017
Poorly organized, repetitive, nothing new.Jul 03, 2019
The first two-thirds of the book were "infomercial" in nature as the author framed "the why" of his approach. By that I mean to say that very little content was spread thin, recycled, restated, summarized, etc. Finally, the meat of the product, "the how" was discussed briefly at the end of the book. I would have liked less repetition of "the why" and more repetition of "the how" so I could have retained it better.May 31, 2017
Like so many of these diet books it was full of stuff I wasn't interested in - like other people's stories. The foods were sounding good until I got to the actual recipes and found too many with mushrooms which I hate. A diet only works if you can stomach the foods you're required to eat on it. So it was just okay for me.Jul 08, 2017
I actually went online and bought a hardback copy after reading it. Very encouraging read and I think I can easily incorporate many of the elements into my lifestyle. can't wait to start the cleanse when my copy arrives!Jul 20, 2019
Not crazy about the marketing, but a pretty knowledgeable piece overall. A little too fond of catastrophic language around weight gain, and all statistics are (of course) American. Useful for new-to-building-a-meal-plan folks.Jun 29, 2019
Motivational! This book keys in on belly fat as the main thing to deal with.Jul 13, 2018
Love the diet and loved the book. It is definitly what I was looking for and it is working.Feb 28, 2017
This was very close to what I do now. It gave some really motivating reasons to keep sugar consumption and blood sugar under control! I would read more of his stuff!Take your time and choose the perfect book.
