Mini-review of THE PLAN by Lyn-Genet Recitas

I just bought the book, THE PLAN by Lyn-Genet Recitas, after hearing about it on either Dr Oz or some other health-related show. 

The book’s main claim is “Eliminate the surprising “healthy” foods that are making you fat –- and lose weight fast”. While I don’t fall for claims that promise fast weight loss, I was intrigued by the idea of so-called “healthy” foods that contribute to weight gain since my diet consists of “healthy” foods and I struggle to keep my weight down.

So I started reading THE PLAN...It is full of case studies of people (fictional or real...hard to tell), and not a single reference to any study that would support any of the claims made throughout the book (to me it’s always a red flag)! While Recitas is convincing in her tone, and her unsupported claims almost make sense, but lack of references, for me, puts this book into FICTION category.
