5.0 out of 5 stars The Diet Alternative, June 13, 2000

By	patricia (USA) - See all my reviews

This book changed my whole attitude toward food and how God views my eating. I had just signed up for yet another "diet" in my effort to lose 50 pounds, when I stumbled upon Diane's book in a Christian bookstore. I couldn't put it down. After one week following the principles (which are so simple, I wondered how I could have overlooked them), I lost 5 pounds. As I write this I am well on my way to losing the 50. I now "eat to live" and not "live to eat". I don't feel deprived and I don't feel like I'm on a diet, because it's not a diet. It is a real confrontation with the heart of God and His easy yoke of sound principles in eating. The best part is I am spending more time reading the Word of God and really listening to His voice as to what is proper to put in my mouth and WHEN to put it in my mouth. If you have tried everything else and failed, PLEASE PLEASE read this book. It is a quick easy read, but it packs a powerful punch against gluttony. Read it and be free. I will never be in bondage to overeating again! Praise God!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deals with causes not symptoms!, September 27, 1999

By	Jim Danielson (Liberty, MO USA) - See all my reviews

Our church has been on a program called WeighDown for a few years. The Diet Alternative deals with some of the same principles. Easy reading. True to Scripture. A workable plan for anyone who wants to lose weight and regain control of their life. An outstanding book value!

5.0 out of 5 stars I've never been so happy!, February 27, 2002

By A Customer

I wish that I could meet Diane Hampton in person and thank her for putting into words what I needed to hear. If you are out there and have been struggling w/obsessive eatting for years, have tried every diet known to man and have failed every time, then this book is for you. And actually it's not the book that is so awesome, it's the way that God speaks to you through the book and the way that He transforms your mind and spirit through Ms. Hampton's lessons. Please try this book. It's short but powerful!! A must to have if you want to change your life forever!!
