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.

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.

When i first bought this book, i thought it wasn't going to work!But in only 2 weeks, i had already losed 3 inches on my waist!And had also lost 15 puonds.I would reccomend this book to anyone who needs to lose weight quickly!!

This is a pretty good reference, guiding eaters and readers alike to some healthy conclusions. It allows the reader to compare fat and calorie contents of different foods, and substitute good choices for poor ones; for example, 1 chocolate chip cookie gives you more fat than 100 green grapes. Sounds much more filling to me.

This books gives a good overview, as well as shopping tips and recipes. Excellent starting point for those who are just beginning to modify their eating habits towards better health. Not as comprehensive (or as lengthy) as other books on the topic, it still hits the key points.
