This book helped me to understand that my body is God's temple. It is my responsibility to serve God by taking care of His temple. Making small changes each day is the key to permanent changes. Although this book is not specifically about weight loss, following these small changes in habits, brings about that too. After following the suggestions, I felt better, healthier and more energetic. Making one small change at a time is so much easier than trying to change your whole life in a day.

Although Jantz writes that "Diets don't work.", he gives what truly is a diet in day 20. He calls it "healthy eating", but there IS a place for a piece of chocolate when you are eating balanced and nutritious meals! He says to get rid of "guilt" foods, but recommends that we do this by avoiding them altogether. This denial approach only sets you up for a major food craving, which easily leads to overeating that "forbidden" food, and then -- what else? -- GUILT. I recommend Gwen Shamblin's Weigh Down approach, as it more accurately illustrates a Christ-centered life & what our attitude towards food should be.
