3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new here....., February 3, 2002

This book in all fairness is accurate, but nothing in it was really "new". It has advice like "don't go to the grocery stores before meals (when you are hungry) and eat as little FAT in your diet as possible. There aren't any gimmicks in it, it just suggests to eat a low fat diet and exercise, but we don't need a book for that. I thought this book was going to talk more about Foods that actually help accelarate fat burning in our body, if you are looking for that try Foods That Cause You to Lose Weight : The Negative Calorie Effect by Neal D. Barnard, Neal, MD, It's also sold here on amazon. I would pass on this book, because although it is true, it's not something you need to buy because it's all info we've all heard before.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR LOW CARBERS, diabetics, or anyone insulin resistant, August 1, 2007

This review is from: Fat Burning Foods (Paperback)

I learn SOMETHING from every book I read... with the exception of this book. I'm always looking for new info on how to lose weight, and even when I don't agree with a book's overall philosophy I can usually get something out of it, but that's not the case here. The diet she recommends (stuffing yourself on bread but skipping the butter) could actually make many people very ill, and possibly cause diabetes.

I highly recommend reading something else, just about ANY other weight loss book.
