Customer Reviews: My Mother's Experience with Calories don't count.November 27, 2005 Cheryl Allen(Bakersfield, California) 24 out of 25 found this review helpful
In 1961 I was thirteen years old, when my mom purchased the extremely controversial book: 'Calories don't count' and the diet industry was reacting exactly the same way about it as they did when the Atkins diet was published. In other words the diet counselors were reacting with horror at the very idea that you did not have to count calories to lose weight! My mom had tried counting calories and many other diets, but this one advocated less carbs, and no sugar and downing up to four ounces of safflower oil every day. I can remember my mom standing in the kitchen downing a shot glass of safflower oil before every meal, and the look on her face each time she did this. She stayed with this diet and dropped forty pounds in no time. She never gained it back. Mom's method wasn't exactly the way Doctor Taller said to take it. He recommended that you spread the oil out throughout the day by cooking with it and adding some to vegetables. Mom did it her way and it worked for her. The book is packed with lots of health information. I still have the book and it is time for me to give Dr. Taller's method a try. Hope this helps whoever is reading this.
My first low carb diet was the year this book was publishedMarch 6, 2010 Elaine Bergstrom(Milwaukee, WI United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was a pudgy 15-year-old with at least 30 pounds to lose. My mother bought this book for me and I followed it pretty religiously. Not only did I take off the weight, going from an 18 to a 10, but my skin and hair were beautiful! The advice Dr. Taller gave was so ahead of its time. Isn't all that safflower oil, reduced carbs and all of it, much like a Mediterranean/Atkins approach today? I would really recommend this, because it seemed less strict than some of the diets today but for a young teen so very healthy.
