4.0 out of 5 stars It's ok but nothing new, January 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Low-Calorie Dieting For Dummies (Paperback)
I think this is a very good book for people who have never learned anything at all about calories. It is definitely a good starting point but doesn't share any information that we don't hear every single day about weight loss.

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY low-calorie dieting, February 14, 2006
By 
N. Van Walbeek (Maple Grove, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Low-Calorie Dieting For Dummies (Paperback)
The book has excellent information, but I am leary about her plan of 1,000 calories. That is very low. I don't feel anyone should eat any less than 1,200 calories a day. I can see maybe dipping down to 1,000 calories once in a while, but the author wants the reader to do it every day. This could be dangerous.
