5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, January 23, 2009

This review is from: The Baby Fat Diet (Mass Market Paperback)

The book shares tips, and accompanying research, on losing weight after having children. And, well, since I've had 3 of them, I thought I could possibly learn something about weight loss after birthin' the little monsters :-) It was a very easy read for me, actually kind of like I was having a conversation with the authors. The content was broken down easily and highlighted each new point within the chapter so it caught my eye while I was reading along. For me, this is extremely important especially with an informative read.

I did a comprehenesive review at my personal blog.

This review is from: The Baby Fat Diet (Mass Market Paperback)

The good: The recipes, calorie intake counter, and shopping list suggestion were great.
The bad: No brainer advice. Don't bother with purchasing the book if you've taken a health class with a chapter on nutrition. Just read the blog online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good information in snack size chapters, February 19, 2009

By 

Ebookworm (Claremore, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Baby Fat Diet (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked this book and even though my "baby" is almost four years old now, I found lots of good information that would pertain to anyone. It is a fun, easy read, but covers a lot of health and nutrition topics such as supplements, nutritional studies (what to look for in a study), portion control, getting your family on board with healthy eating, and lots of other useful tidbits of info. The chapters are short, and can be read out of sequence, so you can right to the chapter that interests you most. I think of this book as more of a guide than an actual diet, but there are 3 days worth of menus which showcase healthy meals and snacks. This would be a great gift for baby showers or new moms.
