I saw a post on the Ya Ya board. I'll post one review just in case you can't get into the YaYa board(some people have trouble getting in for some reason).
Here is the link:

Here is the review copy and pasted:
"I signed up - and two weeks in to it I cancelled. The food plan is O.K. but the amount of groceries (in VERY tiny amounts of perishable foods) that you need (with the list generated for you) is absolutely INSANE! I mean literally crazy - 1/8 lb of this, 1/2 of this (what's works, the other half never gets used, etc.) I even tried setting the menu to eat the same meals most days of the week and it was still crazy (and boring).
The recipes I did try were good but for a single working woman cooking for one it was just not doable (not even close - I spent $200 on the "required foods" in the first week and most of that spoiled because you only use very small amounts of it and the rest just went to waste). I had to cancel as I could not justify even giving it a better test run.
The concept is good, the website is good (the forums/message boards SUCK though - they claim all this "community" - there is none. I TRIED to get conversations started and it didn't work) but the price is too high (both in the program and what it costs you to buy the groceries).
I have seem MANY better calorie/carb cycling programs - CTFLC is a very good one and my all-time favorite NHE (Natural Hormonal Enhancement) that don't break the bank in terms of groceries and are MUCH easier to follow. This one is VERY labor intensive. I don't recommend it for that reason - not because the concept isn't good, it is - but the execution is only feasible for the person who has CONSIDERABLE time to devote to shopping and cooking. If you do sign up - DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE PLAN THAT PROMISES FASTER RESULTS - it's stupid and not worth the extra money.
Oh, and the "still eat your favorite foods" part they talk about - is very exaggerated"
