How this diet works: 

The book tells you how to create an individualized program that treats the underlying causes of overeating and ends food cravings in 24 hours--naturally

Good points:

It is based on ten years of proven clinical results, offers a revolutionary approach to nutrition that can safely curb your cravings and make you feel better in less than twenty-four hours. The Diet Cure begins with an 8-Step Quick Symptom Questionnaire that helps readers identify their unique underlying biochemical imbalances, such as depleted brain chemistry caused by too much dieting, hormonal irregularities, blood-sugar swings, food allergies, thyroid dysfunction, and a deficiency of "good" fats. Then it provides targeted strategies and nutritional guidelines to correct those imbalances, along with meal plans, tasty recipes, and inspiring case histories. Using amino acids to jump-start the program, readers create a safe, customized, easy-to-follow plan to end their food obsessions and attain their ideal healthy weight for good.

The author, Julia Ross, M.A., is the Executive Director of Recovery Systems, a clinic that treats eating and weight disorders with nutrient therapy and biochemical rebalancing. 

Bad points:

Its not a cure-all, and according to the book you end up taking a lot of supplements which some people don't like. 

Duration: Indefinite.
