I first read about this book in the Costco Connection where they had all the success stories. After that I went to Jorge's web site and extensively read all the articles he has posted in his blog and also watched many of the videos with other health professionals and doctors. The plan is very simple and thats what makes it easy to follow. It is low sugar and lower carb but not truly "low carb". It is a way of living that you can stick with and can drastically change your health. I don't have alot of weight to lose but I have alot of belly fat that has accumulated on me thus my interest in trying this program. In twelve days I have lost an inch off my waist. I agree with others that you can substitue items. You don't have to follow his recipes but they are full of fantastic ideas. I, like some others just choose to read labels and eat what I like to eat but I love the idea of taking a potentially bad meal and making it much healthier which he shows over and over. You can make the plan work for you whether you follow his recipes or come up with your own. There are plenty of foods in regular grocery stores that will work you if you just take a little upfront time and read a few labels.

Good for bathing, keeps dry skin away throughout the winter months. Not a good bubble bath, but that is not what it is advertised for so I will not deduct a star. I like the smell it isn't overpowering.
