The books are outdated compared to the latest designs of the diet plan, but

you don't HAVE to subscribe to the pay site to get the latest information --

like I said, it's all here in the file areas. There are several folks on

the groups that DO subscribe and when an update comes out (like something

new on the foods list) the info trickles down to the Yahoogroups pretty

quick.

I may be a bit cynical, but this doesn't surprise me. If there wasn't a way

to make more money on it, they wouldn't support it. It's reasonable for the

diet to continue evolving as new information is obtained and clinicals turn

up better information and that's a positive thing. However, I AM of the

opinion that Agatston's crew is milking the public for more money but hey --

it's the way of such things. Just stick to the groups and you'll get

everything you need to know.

Go through the food lists in the file area on this group's site. Everything

you need to know is there. Oh, and no -- you can't have as many nuts as you

want if you're sticking to the plan (nor can you do a quarter cup -- that

was never an update although many still think it is).

It's a business, Deb. You can write until you're blue in the face and it

won't make any difference. I wouldn't waste the energy -- everything you

need is right here on the group.
