There are so many how to books on weight loss that the brain begins to lose focus so the body never benefits. What these two individuals have done is write a guide that is easy to read, easy to use, and something that will benefit you forever.
The chapters help you identify your body type, determine your ideal body weight, decipher misleading food labels, and help you find the exercise plan that is right for you. The tables and worksheets included were fantastic, making it easy to see what you did right and what you need to correct the next time. The book is very positive recognizing that not everyone will lose weight the same way, helping you create an individual plan. Whatever "diet" you decide is the best for you, this book on it's own or in conjunction with another diet plan is a sure bet on success. No quick fixes here, but a truly educated way of learning about your body, the foods you eat, and the physical activity necessary to keep it all together.

Weight Loss Tracker is a great book for those who are searching for a lifestyle change and ultimately, permanant weight loss. The authors of the text help readers to understand that there is no magic cure for taking off the pounds. Instead, readers learn that subtle changes in diet and consistent exercise habits can make all of the difference. In an age of gastric bypass, freeze-dried packaged foods, and food deprivation as ways to weight loss, this book is a welcome alternative.

I am looking at Nutrition Labels now, thanks to this book.

I traded in the "Lite" crackers from the health food store (0% fiber and loaded with sodium) for the Whole Wheat ones with 12% fiber (and less salt).

And guess what? The high fiber ones made me feel fuller and so, I didn't need as many with my luncheon salad!
