This book is an easy to read and easy to follow way to ensure adequate weight while eating right. It motivated me to get back on the right track to maintain my weight and even shed a few pounds. I even shared the book with some friends who appreciated the book as well. I absolutely love the book and I am happy to have this book on hand as I get older and need the reminder constantly. Thank you Dave for your encouraging words.
