We've had several threads on the Abs Diet here in the forums -- This one from May (which also has a couple of links to threads discussing the plan) for example.

It's not a BAD diet, but there certainly isn't anything new about it. This is your basic bodybuilder's diet - there's nothing special about it that would make you more apt to have visible abs.

I've thumbed through it and it IS written more to a guy's POV - if you want a more female-oriented book, I would suggest Body for Life for Women by Pamela Peeke which is EXCELLENT.

I read the book and I agree its a guys diet. Its really a boring diet. No chocolate that type thing. Really strict. I wouldnt do it, because I couldnt live with it. I think he is marketing it to men and women as an afterthought to make extra $. Read the reviews on Amazon though..
