TESTIMONIALS FROM DR. ROSEMAN’S PATIENTS “When you first told me about the diet, I thought you were crazy, but now that I have lost forty-two pounds, I feel very differently.” —Aspasia Nikolaou, Ph.D. “‘No hope, Doctor. I can’t lose weight.’ He had heard that before. So he gave me his book, The Addictocarb Diet, and proved me wrong. In the first five weeks I lost fifteen pounds. This creative, informative, and concise approach to weight loss is amazing. And it works!” —Richard Jeske, Ph.D. “This diet is brilliant in its simplicity and ability to adapt in the busy, stress- filled western lifestyle. Unlike other diet regimens, the recommendations are simple, pragmatic, and easy to remember . . . During the recent illness and unexpected passing of my brother, I was able to continue to apply the Addictocarb principles to assure I was making healthy food choices during this stressful time in my life.” —Corinne Gamper “The Addictocarb Diet gets results. It is not a quick fix but rather a way to eat healthy for the long-term while losing weight that stays off. The secret to its success is that you do not feel deprived due to the alternatives Dr. Roseman provides to bread, pasta, and white potatoes. They are completely satisfying.” —Jennifer Grubman Rothenberg, President of Innovative Philanthropy, LLC “It’s been three months since I started the Addictocarb Diet. My jeans are looser and the visceral fat that appeared at menopause, and with which I have been trying to make peace, is slowly melting away.” —Meryl Weiss “Just had the cauliflower pizza—wow! Amazing recipe, thanks so much!” —Andrew Heller “Your diet is amazing. I’m so happy that other people are going to be able to take control over their eating the way I have.” —Schele Williams THE ADDICTOCARB DIET THE ADDICTOCARB DIET AVOID THE 9 HIGHLY ADDICTIVE CARBS WHILE EATING ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT BRUCE ROSEMAN, M.D. BenBella Books, Inc.
