I am proud to be able to contribute in a small way to Doug’s efforts to enlighten people as to the true cause of weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, high-cholesterol and that thing called “metabolic syndrome”. You should have been a doctor. In many ways what you’re doing now will make a bigger impact on the country’s health than anything a doctor could dream of accomplishing. I am so so pleased to have found a book that coincides with everything I have been telling my patients for years. Now I can talk briefly with patients and hand them a book knowing that what is put forth in the text is everything I believe and transcends the stalled stale conversation of low carbs and exercise. This is a seminal work that awakens us to what is all around us but yet invisible. Like water to a fish we have been unable to see what has been in front of us all the time. Water? What water I don’t see any water! Sugar? What sugar? I don’t see any sugar! Unfortunately our bodies do see all the sugar and respond with obesity and “metabolic syndrome”. This book is a must read for anyone interested in taking their health to the next level. Sincerely Dr. Paul Cump, D.O. Family Medicine

I’ve tried many different diets, but never stuck to them. I was already attracted when I saw people I know use this diet and lose the weight, but when I received my book and read through it, I knew this was one diet I could do. Doug not only explains how, but why. He gives you delicious and simple meals that are filling and help keep those nasty hunger pains at bay. He shows you in simple terms why what we normally eat and consider good for us, isn’t, if we want to lose weight.
I love the book and look forward to continued success in my own goal of losing weight.
Review by Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Man for FAT TO SKINNY Fast and Easy!: Eat Great, Lose Weight, and Lower Blood Sugar Without Exercise

How can you NOT love an outstanding weight loss success story like Doug Varrieur? As a former 260-pounder who was tired of living his life as a fat guy, he took action to change his life forever and shed an incredible 100 pounds off of his body by implementing some key strategies into his routine. And for those of us who are livin’ la vida low-carb and lovin’ it, this story will bring a great big smile to your face.
Half-autobiographical/half-children’s book-style, Varrieur definitely wanted to capture your attention while hopefully imparting to you everything he has learned about weight control and health over the past few years with the book. It’s quite entertaining with all the cute illustrations that hammer home the various points and the strategic use of an all-caps “FAT” anytime that word is used in the book. You can tell Varrieur has quite a creative mind for communicating his message and he does so very well throughout.
Varrieur says foods like corn, sugar, vegetables, grains, and other carbohydrate-filled foods are doing nothing more than than leading to stored body FAT. Again, he uses all-caps when sharing about SUGAR because he wants people to realize eating foods that contain it or turn to it in the body will make them FAT. On page 22 alone he capitalizes SUGAR sixteen times. I guess you could say he believes it’s a point worth repeating (and I tee-totally agree with him!).
The concept of measuring food in terms of “teaspoons of sugar” is not a new one, but it is not talked about nearly enough. Varrieur does so brilliantly yet again by looking at the SUGAR contained in French fries, soda, the bun, and a pie from a fast food restaurant. The way the numbers add up so quickly are shocking…and it’s a message people need to hear loud and clear. Obviously, if people can cut down on these “teaspoons of sugar” in their diet, then they’ll be a lot better off in their efforts to losing weight “fast and easy.”
Half of the book is filled with recipes that Varrieur himself uses on his low-carb plan as well as some key low-carb foods and substitutions in his diet that have helped him keep his “skinny” body. Eating low-carb has obviously worked for him not just for weight loss but radically improved health markers too. His triglycerides plummeted from 400 down to 70, but I was somewhat concerned to see Varrieur concerned about his cholesterol levels so much that he feels the need to take a statin drug like Lipitor to lower them.
A high-fat, low-carb nutritional approach has been shown to lower triglyceride levels well below 100, raise HDL “good” cholesterol above 50, and make your LDL cholesterol the large, fluffy, and protective kind that you don’t need to be concerned with. Sadly, Varrieur has bought into the notion shared to him by his doctor that he needs to take these risky prescription drugs with his low-carb diet to make his heart arteries “healthy.” Additionally, he cuts down on healthy saturated fats, meat and egg consumption, and opts for low-fat cheeses, fish and soy for protein instead.
It is such a shame that Doug Varrieur and so many others like him have it right about the carbohydrates being at the root cause of obesity and health that far too many people are dealing with these days, but then are still caught up in conventional wisdom regarding the unproven and disastrous cholesterol-heart hypothesis that Ancel Keys unleashed on America so many decades ago. While I’m happy for his 100-pound weight loss success, I hope Varrieur will continue to do his own personal research on what will keep his heart and health strong for many years to come.

Okay so I picked up the book and it has nice size print and it is an easy read.
Can be read in a couple of hours. Doug Varrieur thank you for making it easy for me to understand how certain foods break down into sugar. Your simple formula made it easy to go to the grocery store and stock up on healthy tasting, yummy foods.
I lost 13 pounds in 2.5 months, but now I know how to lose weight. Besides weight that comes off in a healthy way is more prone to stay off, right? I eat more than I did before on this new way of eating. I Am more satisfied and do not crave sugar. get the book, you will learn a lot.

My son bought this book at the Florida State Fair in 2008. He lost 100 lbs with this book! It is the most comprehensible diet book ever! I bought two more copies for my brother and my nephew. Every diabetic should own this book! If they did, there might be a lot less diabetes! My son was not diabetic but just wanted to be healthier. He did so well with this book that he is now featured on the back cover! Proud Mom….Safety Harbor, Fl.
