I am a veteran of Weight Watchers (lost 25 lbs., kept it off 2 yrs.) and protein diets (ditto, kept it off 3 yrs). This program is just what I needed to jumpstart my weight loss again. It has 24+ days of menus, which is just what I needed--I can never decide what to eat on a diet, and this book tells you, day by day. The menus allow for substitution: I substituted peanut butter for hummus, a tangerine for a banana, etc. I haven't been hungry, because it allows for snacks. Also has 3 types of exercise programs, for those who like walking; those who like variety; and those who work out in gyms. The program is very flexible, the book is easy to follow, and anyone who half tries should be able to lose weight.

I used this book (it was my wife's), and although its from a women's website, I found the approaches easy and practical. We followed this book together for about 5 weeks -- I lost about 15 pounds and she lost about 10. I was about 215 before and came out about 200. Now I'm a 34 and was 36. That was 3 months ago and no change yet. Try it - it works.

Very easy way to lose weight. Lots of practical advice. I loved the fact that it's based on an ivillage community challenge. I've lost 10 lbs. already.
