Want to finally lose the weight and keep it off? Want to be able to eat the foods you love? Reaching your goals can only happen when you don't feel deprived and you continue to stay motivated. Now, celebrity trainer and star of the hit reality series The Biggest Loser, Dolvett Quince, tells you how to do all of that and more in his revolutionary program,
THE 3-1-2-1 DIET.
This 21-day program works by manipulating your body's natural tendency to slow its metabolic rate in response to calorie restriction. It takes a new approach to getting lean-one scientifically based on changing up food and calories to tap into your body's potential to burn fat. This unconventional plan results in greater muscle and less fat than any other diet you've ever tried.
Dolvett's effective eating plan is as easy as 3-1-2-1: three days of clean eating, one day of cheating, two more days of clean eating, and one final reward meal at the end of the week. No foods are off limits and you will never feel deprived because the plan is flexible enough to fit into any lifestyle. You'll lose weight fast-10 pounds or more in just 21 days-and you won't plateau.
Dolvett's simple meal plans and delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes, together with his fast and effective workouts that combine cardio and body-shaping moves, will have you back in your skinny jeans in less than three weeks!

I started reading it yesterday morning and finished last night, so easy to read and sounds like a perfect diet for me. I go between Paleo and eating right for the most part so it is not foreign to me. As with most diets, I hate the fact that I have to remember a list of what I can and cannot eat - but how else will it work, right? I am starting today so that I get to have a cheat day on Saturday. I have about 60 lbs to lose so I will check back within a month or two and update my review! Definitely a good read though, really enjoyed it - I didnt skip stuff like I usually do with diet books (I have read A LOT of diet books :-))

The 3-1-2-1 Diet offers an easy to follow plan for losing weight. The basic idea is that you stick to a relatively low carb diet for 3 days (eat clean) and then cheat for 1 day, then clean again for 2 days, then one cheat day. Quince allows you to eat some "smart" carbs on clean days; this means complex carbs, for example gluten-free multi-grains. Processed carbs (white bread, pasta, etc) are allowed only on cheat days.
The book has meal plans and about 32 recipes divided into Smoothies, Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners and Side Dishes. There aren't any photos showing the prepared dishes. The recipes are very brief with a list of ingredients and basic preparation instructions. Each recipe has calories, but not other detailed nutritional information (grams of carbs, protein, etc.).
Quince says his favorite nutrient is protein, and most recipes put a strong emphasis on this. For a simpler high protein diet with easy to prepare meals, I'd also suggest
The Protein Express Diet: Rapid Weight Loss with a Simplified Low Carb, High Protein Diet, which offers its own plan or can be used in conjunction with the 3-1-2-1 plan. I was able to lose significant weight on this diet.
There is also a chapter on exercise, which has standard exercises with photos of the author doing them, basically the kind of thing that is included as padding in nearly every exercise book. There is not a whole lot new here except the sequence 3-1-2-1. If you find that allowing cheat days according to this schedule helps you stick with the diet long term, then this diet might work for you. Of course, you have to keep your cheating within reason, and Quince does recommend that you still count calories on your cheat days.
