I lost 122 pounds by using the tools and information that Georgia Kostas has compiled in this book. My copy is highlighted, dog eared, paper clipped, etc. because even after keeping the weight off now for 4 years I still use the book as a refernce. No matter what type of learner you are you can find a way of looking at nutrition and exercise that fits with how you live and think. I was classified as obese for close to 30 years of my life. The basic, non-quick fix principles here have helped me give myself opportunities that I never thought possible.

This should be on every Registered Dietitians' bookshelf!! I
would highly recommend this book to the public that requires sound information on weight loss. This book is good reading and
practical in it's approach. The book deals with strategies for
success and how to handle obstacles which is not always well covered in other weight management books. I bought her earlier book "The Balancing Act"; I didn't think that book could be outdone but this book is even better!! Sincerely, a Registered Dietitian

I just received this book and haven't been able to put it down. The information is clear and concise and practical. I love this book and feel that everything I have learned about wieght loss and thought on my own have now been confirmed. This book is not gimicky. It is realistic. This book helps us put into practice what most of us already know. If you are buying the book you are already to take the next step, and this is the answer!!! On a side note, Raynelle who also recommends this book was featured in Prevention, that is where I heard of this book and she looks awesome!! I hope to do as well as she did and be healthy in the process.

A book for those demanding a healthy heart and a healthy lifestyle!

This book has helpful tips. It's easy to understand and the sample plans are easy to follow. Most of the information is more of a reminder and serves well to put healthy eating into perception.

Love, love, love this book. Has been a long while since I bought it but I use it all the time for a good reference on diet and nutrition. Can't go wrong with anything from the Cooper Clinic.

What I like best about Georgia Kostas's book is the abundant "how to" information, such as how to overcome barriers to exercise, how to manage eating at special occasions, how to determine the right portion of a food, etc. I can tell Georgia has had lots of experience counseling dieters because she knows what dieters want to know about how to successfully lose weight.

I have not completely finished reading this book so I only gave 4 stars, but I am finding it very helpful. I also purchased the mayo clinic book and, between the two books, I am getting a much better idea of what to eat and how to go about it. They are very similar in their concepts. I really like this book and would recommend it.
