When most people diet, they take a fairly all or nothing approach. They expect 100% perfection and any slip up, no matter how minor, tends to derail their dieting efforts. Of course, the statistics show that most people will fail on a diet, regaining all of the lost weight and frequently more. That alone suggests that the type of extreme (let’s call it rigid) approach to dieting does more harm than good. But research also suggests that flexible dieters, folks who take a more relaxed approach to their eating habits tend to weigh less and have less binge eating episodes; they do better in the long run. A Guide to Flexible Dieting explains how the types of typical extremist approaches to losing weight do more harm than good. It explains how being more flexible, and how deliberately breaking your diet, can actually make it work more effectively in the long run. A Guide to Flexible Dieting is not a diet book in the typical sense. Rather, it deals with some behavioral strategies that can help make your diet work more effectively.

Realistic yet still superior advice,

This review is from: A Guide to Flexible Dieting (Spiral-bound)
Lyle consistently delivers: no drivel, no wasted space, no fluff- just easy to read and understand information that doesn't patronize the reader.
This is a terrific (dare I say it?) Lifestyle book. It is less about one particular way of dieting (though it covers several methods) than about how to maintain weight loss and health for life. I would consider it absolutely a must-have for anyone concerned with fitness and weight loss.

Americans needs this book,
This review is from: A Guide to Flexible Dieting (Spiral-bound)
Lyle McDonald tells it like it is. So many diet authors waste time boasting about themselves or trying to sell the reader a bag of goods that amounts to the same message in a different package: stop eating so much and get off the couch. Lyle skips the niceties and gets to the heart of what people need to hear. His presentation is frank and easy to follow. His message is fundamentally valid and indisputable. This book is an excellent wakeup call for any weary dieter.

Wonderful Book,

This review is from: A Guide to Flexible Dieting (Spiral-bound)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. The author has a writing style that made this book both very easy and fun to read. I recommend to book to anyone who has ever failed a diet because they were too rigid in their ways, and to all dieters in general. The book provides excellent information that can be used by anyone. I suggest buying Lyle McDonald's other books as well, they are all quality work from an excellent author.
