The Diet Solution Program Review – Another Scam or Legit?
The Diet Solution Program by Isabel De Los Rios is the hottest selling diet program online today, claiming that it can help you shed 10% of your unwanted fat in 30 days or less. Not only that, unlike many other programs, they claim that these results ARE typical and that you can lose 3 – 10 pounds in the first week.
Is this just another diet scam or is there any truth behind those aggressive claims?

We've been burned before, so The Sherpa decided to buy the product, rip it apart and do a deep dive to see what the program is about and whether this product is as good as it claims to be or if it's just another case of good marketing of a bad product – just as we've seen countless times in the diet world.
While this product certainly has its warts, we were pleasantly surprised to find that, by in large, The Diet Solution Program does deliver on its claims with a solid foundation of reliable, although unconventional nutrition science (a good thing!) combined into a relatively user-friendly format.
There are a few areas you want to watch out for however, so let's dig in and we'll show you what The Sherpa discovered. You won't find as much in-depth research into The Diet Solution Program anywhere else.
What are the Pros and Cons?
Here's our blunt, no-holds-barred review of the pros and cons...
The Top 5 Pros
The Top 5 Cons
-
Convenient
6 weeks of full meal plans, chock full of delicious, easy-to-make recipes. The recipes are organized into food types like meat, poultry, vegetables, etc. to make it easy to find what you need based on your metabolic type. Example recipes include roaster garlic-stuffed rib eyes and garlic- and herb-marinated chicken breasts.
-
Latest Science
Well-grounded in latest nutritional science involving how quickly your body turns various foods into sugar, the key to sustained weight loss. Also dispels many myths about saturated fat, soy and milk.
-
Quick Read
Easy read that cuts right to the chase for those who want to get started right away; more detail on the science is available later in the book for those who are interested, but excellent for those who want to get started right away.
-
Avoid Pitfalls
Debunks common myths and mistakes that most diets make that doom them to failure in the first week.
-
Customized
Tailored to your body’s particular needs based on your metabolic type (in short, whether you do better primarily on protein, carbs or a mix of the two) instead of one-sized fits all solution, which is the key to sustained, healthy weight loss.
-
Focus on Calories
Although the program doesn’t focus as much on calories as the average program, there’s still too much focus; however Isabel has taken a unique approach that makes this very easy to manage.
-
A Little Confusing
Although we commend Isabel for allowing you to customize the program based on your metabolic type, it can get a little confusing on what to do. Fortunately, she provides a set of charts and checklists to simplify this as much as possible.
-
Overhyped Marketing
When you purchase the product, you are exposed to the standard infomercial claims with enormous discounts. Moreover, they hit you up for lots of upsells, which can be annoying. The benefit is that they are all extremely useful add-ons you may need.
-
Includes Grains
While Isabel suggests avoiding many grains, she still includes many grains in the program – remember, grains are for birds, not humans!
-
Documented Science
Although the science behind the program is rock-solid, they neglected to include sufficient scientific references to convince an uninformed reader that the plan is based on sound science.

What Did Our Tests Show?
The Sherpa puts every program through a strict set of tests to see how they perform. Here's how this program performed, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best:
-
Test Area
Comments
-
What do actual users of the program think?
A review of the top 3 diet and weight loss forums shows little to no activity or comments. This makes it difficult for us to give an accurate reading so we’ll apply a neutral 3. But we can say that if a diet program is truly bad or ineffective, you’ll see hundreds of people complaining in the forums and we did NOT see that in this case.
-
How effective is the program?
Focus on quality, unprocessed fats and proteins while avoiding sugars that quickly turn into fat, and customizing this program to your own metabolic type make this very effective.
-
Is the program safe?
Very balanced with no outrageously extreme recommendations such as fasting, only eating cabbage or drinking lemonade. Much of the recommendations go against conventional “wisdom”, but that has gotten us nowhere as nearly 70% of the U.S. is overweight.
-
Is the science behind the program legit?
Based on the latest science involving how quickly we metabolize sugar and its effect on weight and health; that said, there were not that many scientific references despite an abundance of them being available.
-
How credible is the company or author behind the program?
Isabel is not an M.D. (not necessarily a bad thing) and her website claims she is a “certified nutritionist”, but it doesn’t mention where that certification was obtained. That said, she does have an undergraduate degree in exercise physiology, is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and is a Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle Coach, certified by the Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology (C.H.E.K.) Institute in San Diego, California. While we’d prefer her to have better credentials, it’s The Sherpa’s experience that credentials are only good for the ego and that real-world experience, testing and common sense is what matters, which is something that Isabel seems to have in abundance.
-
How easy is the program to use?
Translating your metabolic type into what foods you can eat can be difficult, but they do a good job to make that as easy as possible with a variety of charts and instructions. People need to face reality that no program is a magic bullet and that sustained weight loss requires that you make substantial changes to your lifestyle.
-
How affordable is the program?
Compared to books costing $20 that you can buy at Amazon, this may seem expensive, but given the various components included, the quality and effectiveness of the program and the resulting positive impact it can have on your mind and body, this is affordable.
-
What is their customer service like?
This program is sold through Clickbank, one of the most reputable online stores around. Excellent customer service with a full 60-day 100%, no-questions-asked guarantee. To confirm this, we tested a refund and it was issued 1 day after we requested it. We also sent in a test question via email and received a response in less than a day, although they did ask us to submit our question via their Facebook page, which is a bit annoying. Lastly, we left a phone message and got a response back in 2 days.
-
Have people been scammed by this program?
A review of two of the top independent complaint websites (ripoffreport.com and complaintsboard.com) shows a limited number of complaints, with most of those having to do with confusion over the fact that this is a digital book that is NOT mailed to you and is instead delivered online. Checking with the BBB shows a bad grade of F, but to their credit that’s misleading as they’ve only had 3 complaints filed in the last 36 months, 2 of which were successfully resolved. At the time of this review there were no complaints about the effectiveness of the product.
-
Are there any “gotchas” in the fine print?
There are no sneaky re-bills here, but be aware that during the purchase process you will be offered extra features you can purchase, but these are all 100% optional and many you may find very valuable in your quest for health and weight loss. NOTE: This book is a digital download so don’t get confused that you’ll be buying an actual book.
Overall Score:
So What's the Bottom Line?
Although the program has some shortcomings, with an overall score of 4 out of 5, we recommend that The Diet Solution Program by Isabel de Los Rios is worth a try.
The single best attribute is that it's grounded in the latest science, which may seem unconventional, but is actually extremely effective when it comes to losing weight and gaining health.
Most of what you've been taught by the mainstream media, government and even your doctor regarding weight loss is wrong and it's refreshing to see a program call a spade a spade and have the conviction to point out what actually works.
Discovering what your metabolic type is and then customizing the meal plans based on that type is probably the single most powerful aspect of this program and is another main reason The Sherpa recommends it.
While their claim of 3 – 10 pounds in the first week may be a little too strong for our liking, it's perfectly reasonable that you'll lose 1-2 pounds/week following this natural way of eating. Please click on the button below to purchase The Diet Solution Program now.
