Finally a book that speaks my language! It has information and advice that's easy to understand. Info that I can put to use right away. Read a chapter every day or two and you'll see that learning to eat better does not require something that resembles a college text book with boring data charts and scientific language. This book explains what you can do right away, right now, as soon as you have the book. As soon as you apply what's in the book, it goes beyond the book as you take action and make changes to get healthier.

Poorly written and horribly, horribly edited. That aside, it is an easy read. But her message is so convoluted. There is no logical progression of thought or information and she often contradicts herself from one chapter to the next. 75% of the book is filled with diet mentality "tricks" and "Don't" and "No's" and "Control" and "Discipline", then the rest of the book claims there are no "bad" foods, diets are bad and we all just need to get in touch with our natural hunger, and feed it.

I would highly recommend "Outsmarting the female fat cell" by Debra Waterhouse. Not only is the message clear, logical and healthy but she explains the physiology behind it. She lays out a reasonable program. And, it's about $15 cheaper.

There are easy to read little chapters that are contained in this book. Some very inspiring ones...but stuff I've heard before. If one follows what Dorothy says, they are bound to see changes. But again, it's stuff I've read before.
