One of the best books on recovery from overeating!
This is the only book you'll need!People tend to read books like this because they want to lose weight (I wanted this too). However, if you follow, not just the food plan, but the entire program of recovery outlined in this book, you will be amazed and delighted by how your life just seems to change for the better! That has been my experience anyway. Just today, I gave away every diet book I own, there must have been 50 books! Diets are not the answer. I found what I need in this book. Try it, you won't be sorry.

Old and New Knowledge to Win Against Alcoholism!I found nothing harmful in "Seven Weeks," except one exaggeration that claimed one naturally occurring supplement (GLA?) could "reverse aging" (I tried to find it again, but it's in there). There are also some practical mentionings of "research indicates that..." many times throughout the pages, although to which research they are referring is not indicated. Most of the time, Dr. Larson does cite her sources, and that makes all the difference. On page 44 there is a nice and simple comparison chart of a Swedish Study vs. HRC results; but in this chart, the HRC study is claiming a 100% recovery rate from alcoholic symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, tremors, dizziness and three others. Can they really do that? Is anything 100% effective? Most of the information in "Seven Weeks..." is sound, although at times a little eccentric. On page 108-109, for example, we read "Since most alcoholics suffer blackouts, it makes sense to assume that insufficient tryptophan is to blame and that it also underlies any depression and sleeplessness they are experiencing." In any kind of scientific work, it NEVER makes sense to assume anything. It is either conclusive or it isn't. On page 144, they also state, "Insulin is the fat-storing hormone." Insulin metabolizes sugar, it doesn't store fat (or, that it is an indirect action of insulin). On pages 94-113, everything mentioned about the role of vitamins, minerals and aminos is believable, verifiable and duplicable.
I believe this book can be helpful for recovering alcoholics, in spite of that the carbohydrate-restricted diets might be difficult to follow. To cut out colas, coffee, bakery products, fried foods, margarine, taco shells, or anything made with hydrogenated oils from the diet--even diet sodas and nicotine--all at once may seem too much at once for someone in recovery. (We've got to have something left!) The proposed diet is rigid, taking a strong will to accomplish, but the price of sobriety is incomparable (did I give away my anonymity?) Details of the HRC diet and "Week Three: Correcting Chemistry" are at Chapter 7, page 115. I was particularly interested in the section "The Role of Adrenals," in which the authors discuss the effects of placing to many demands for adrenaline on the system, leading many alcoholics to suffer additional stress and emotional instability, even for a time after early sobriety. In this case, I can personally verify that, and it makes perfect sense. At Chapter 8, "Week Four: Tailoring Repair," many suggestions and formulas are given for certain vitamin, mineral and amino acid combination which assure the reader they will help to reverse the undesirable effects of alcohol abuse. Given the few overstatements and yet unproven FDA claims for certain minerals (e.g., chromium), and a few borrowings from the big book, I found nothing malignant in "Seven Weeks." I won't dog anything meant to help people get off of alcohol. It is not meant for the general public; it is meant to be used in conjunction with a doctor's help to break the addiction to alcohol. AA's big book was the first of its kind to offer a self-help plan with other alcoholics in attaining this admirable and monumental goal. This book is another next step, advancing this and new knowledge for the benefit of the common good.

Did not work
An excellent tool
Buy this if you really want to quit
I have sometimes minimized my own experience because it only happened once and my perpetrator was a stranger. I have felt that perhaps the degree to which this has effected my life is due to my own defect. After reading this book I understand why individual reactions can vary widely. I feel more entitled to my pain and have placed blame where it belongs, on the perpetrator and the people who chose not to help me after the fact. After years of seeing all men as perpetrators, my heart has softened. I realize that many men have been victimized just as I have and that our cultural ideas about what it means to be a man add an extra measure of pain to their experience. I recognized myself in nearly every paragraph, sometimes every sentence, and finally accept that all the things I've experienced, all the difficulties, are real and are there for a reason, not just because I'm weak and unable to "Get over it and leave the past in the past."
After hundreds of hours of counseling, seminars, and books I was nearly finished grieving over the loss of my innocence and my childhood at the age of five, but I was left with one question, "Now what?" This book has helped me dare to hope, that I may be able to reclaim my sexuality as a genuine part of myself, something healthy and warm and joyful. It has given me some specific tools for getting there and it has been an invaluable ingredient in my ongoing recovery.
