This review is from: Bodycraft: Creating the Body You Want While Loving the Body You Have (Paperback)

This is not just another diet book. It's a whole new way to live life. What makes this book different from other diet books is that it's FUN! Zelandais introduces the reader to 20 techniques called "Bodycraft Tools" in an entertaining, informative and often humorous format. The tools are easy to implement. They range from designing a personalized exercise plan that is enjoyable and easy to fit into your schedule to dealing with emotions, changing beliefs, and making a treasure map! The tools do not take a lot of time -- some as little as five minutes a day. I lost seven pounds without effort on this plan without ever feeling deprived! This book is not only about losing weight, it's about becoming more alive! I loved it!

This review is from: Bodycraft: Creating the Body You Want While Loving the Body You Have (Paperback)

I loved this book because Bodycraft is not just another diet book. Ms.Zelandais hit home with her recount of why diets don't work, but she has found something that does. The book was geared not only to losing weight, but to becoming a whole person in the way we love our bodies and nourish the soul. Unlike most diet books that hammer home "don'ts", the book was written with positive "dos". There is a 5-level program, (each level being 3 weeks...the amount of time it takes to change a bad habit to a good one), each level covers the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical balancing of the body.

This book is an easy read that makes you know: "I can do this".

Whether one does the whole 5-level program or not, the book has lots of tips to help have the body we want and love.
