Anyone here doing Four Corners / Go diet?

Never heard of it! What is it?

Lowish carb (50 net grams), high fibre, high monounsaturated fats(good ones), and "pharma foods" such as yogurt, kefir, nuts, etc.
I have been struggling with Atkins to get enough fibre and calcium, so I just love this diet.
It used to be called the Go diet. I am surprised it hasn't caught on better than it has.

I am on the G.I. diet and love it!!! It sounds alot like what you are on.

I've been doing my version of the GO Diet for a couple of years. I don't agree with everything in the book, and it isn't fast weight loss at all, but I think it's a very healthy way to go. A similar book with better recipes is the Inflammation Syndome by JAck Chattem.

Sounds the same as what I'm doing!

i love GO dieting. i did not lose on atkins. it's funny that GO increased my carbs and i lost weight. i think it is much healthier since my skin is better and, of course, bodily functions. speaking of that; i do have trouble with the fiber and am not taking any other than what's in the diet right now. not a big deal since my vegies and a little fruit are much higher than before. yogurt is one of the only things i've continued to miss on lc lifestyles...so i am happy. oh and i love raw almonds.

im just starting the four corners so will post now and then to tell how its going...i understand the low carb thing but could never get past induction on atkins, just too extreme for me.

I was GO many years ago and still have the original book.
One thing i did that made those bran recipes (pancake) better was to grind the bran into 'flour' in my magic bullet type appliance.
The reason I stopped is because it was too much fiber and the bran stuff gave me heartburn.
It is probably my all time fav plan, though, and I may ease into it again.
I still consume some cultured milk daily.

Could someone post the basic rules to the GO Diet? I am not finding much information on the 'net.

here i am, made it thru xmas without gaining but didnt lose either..of course like everyone else back on the wagon new years..i have lost 4 lbs. since my last message, not fast but hoping it is a life change and i feel good. so on to 2011, happy new year and good luck to all.

There's sort of a description on this site.



I've seen the odd person on this forum who has trouble with hypoglycemia after eating a very low carb meal. Maybe for some people, a small addition of carbohydrate will actually make hypoglycemia less likely?

so how's it going?

i have my books and am playing w the recipes....eliminated the nuts from the pancake since too many cause me cold sores and w grinding the bran, there's no need for more filler.

i'm planning to try a bread and maybe use a bit of coconut flour in place of soy or whey protein.

i never tried bran for filler in say, meat loaf/balls, etc but may give it a crack. the salmon patties sound good.
also never tried it for dredging....

again grinding it to flour texture is key for me since the flakes seem so....flaky!

keep us posted.

for anyone who visits this post again; as i said, i have both books but never kept 4 Corners handy.
i recently unpacked it and realized that it is 100+ pages more of fluff.
the GO-diet is about 100 pages of basic info.

both books have similar recipes (not many) but the changes made for 4 Corners were really not an improvement.
it's better to just use low carb recipes increasing fiber.

there are just a couple recipes from GO that i have continued using. and as i said, i grind the bran to flour texture.

so since both books are out of print, i say, google and buy the cheapest one.
i prefer GO but you may need the x tra info. most seasoned lc'ers will not.
