Covert Bailey speaks our language in his book. He also speaks bottom line. If you eat fat, you will be fat. I bought this book a while ago and felt I needed a push back to reality after reading all the other books (low carbs/high protein, blood type etc.) that just aren't for me. I gained weight. Its not going to happen over night with some crazy diet. We have to exercise for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for an easy way out, this isn't the book for you. But, if you are looking for the truth about how we as women are going to stay healthy and in shape, then I highly recommend you read this book. Get a buddy and start moving. I decided after turning 40 that now my happy hour hang out is at the gym!

As a Fitness Trainer, I was amazed at the wealth of good/valuable information this book provides. I had read it originally 10 years ago, and teach many of my clients the principles Mr. Bailey describes. Use this book as your guide to weight loss!

After reading this book, I know why all those diets I've tried failed. I was so happy to finally find someone who understands the special dietary needs of women and who could thoroughly explain away the diet myths out there. It is one of the most helpful books I've read in years.

Has good info for newbies to fitness and seasoned vetrens. Also it is an easy read. YOu can get the majority of the book read in one night. One Negative is the last few chapters are more wordy than nessasary.

I am fed up with the magazine image American women are sold. Thin is being sold as fitness. Covert's tape helped me to affirm my belief in fitness, not just appearance. And another thing...has anyone else noticed that on the cover of most women's magazines you are given teaser titles on how to loose 10 pounds fast, and than in the bottom corners, pictures of cookies and 19 layer chocolate cakes?

This is such an easy read and so common sense. Not a quick fix, but very healthy and applicable theories.

I received the item in a reasonable length of time and it was in the condition described. I knew the book as I had it years ago and lost it. It is a good book for getting and staying in good shape and good health.
