Book Description

December 26, 2005
Shop and then drop...your weight! The trusted diet and nutrition experts at Good Housekeeping present a groundbreaking new way to navigate the supermarket aisles for weight loss-and achieve long-lasting success.

Real food for real folks--and real weight loss that you'll be able to maintain. And it's all as easy as going to your local supermarket and picking up ordinary packaged convenience foods. Diets are among Good Housekeeping's most popular features, and now the magazine has created a diet revolution that everyone will want to join. Here, you will learn how to read food labels to eat healthy, shop for packaged foods that won't sabotage a diet, and stick to a healthy balanced menu that is low in calories, high in fiber, and moderate in carbs, fats, and protein.

Why you will love this diet:
* It's inexpensive and easy: the food is affordable and most meal preparation takes less than 20 minutes.
* It's flexible: you can choose from an enormous variety of foods.
* It's forgiving: you can have chocolate, alcohol, and other treats without feeling like you've blown it. There's even a Calorie Counter with 125-calorie snacks to satisfy cravings.

The diet begins with a two-week Boot Camp, which consists of 1,200 calories a day for fast, motivational results-many people will lose three to five pounds. But don't worry--with such items as rotisserie chicken and burritos, you'll come through without feeling deprived. Then, shift to Keep on Losin', a less rigorous daily plan of 1,500 calories--but one that's still highly effective! You might lose one to two pounds a week following these guidelines.

To make things even easier, there are 100 mouthwatering recipes, many incorporating convenience foods--and they're all tested in Good Housekeeping's famed kitchens. And there are dozens of helpful tips about avoiding diet saboteurs-including, believe it or not, eating too little, which slows the metabolism. With advice on things like dieting when your family isn't, the secrets of successful weight-loss winners, and stocking the kitchen wisely, you're set up for sensible weight loss, as well as a lifetime of healthy eating!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous program...I really lost!!, January 12, 2006
This review is from: The Supermarket Diet (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful tool for making your supermarket a positive place to shop, find healthy choices and to learn new ways to negotiate those tempting food areas. I love the helpful hints for incorporating more healthy choices into your day...adding more fiber, natural sugars in fruits, even some healthy makeovers for those old favorites like smoothies and burritos. My favorites! It's hard to give up some of the fattening foods when you start a new diet, but in this book you will find alternatives to giving up those comfort foods and you'll see some wonderful replacements with delicious flavors and textures you didn't dream of before.
You should definately try it! She has found the secret to shopping for food and staying fit forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Supermarket Diet by Jibrin, January 15, 2006
This review is from: The Supermarket Diet (Hardcover)
This is an excellent work on the dynamics of weight control.
The authors ask that we review reasons for overweight conditions;namely, genetic disposition and lack of quality
exercise. For instance, there is a suggestion that we can
outsmart our genetics with proper eating and frequent exercise.

The program begins with a 2 week 1200/ calories per day
boot camp regimen. Then up to 1500 calories per day is allowed.
When the weight goal is reached, 1800 calories per day are
allowed.

The preferred shopping list should include the following:
- beans, nuts, omega 3 fish oil foods
- frozen broccoli
- tortillas
- veggie burgers
- fat free 1% milk
- cereals with < 5gm. of sugar

Lastly, the author suggests that we formulate shopping lists
and utilize them with little or no deviation. The work would
be helpful in crafting a meaningful diet regimen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best diet I have found...., February 7, 2007
By 
H. Waite (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Supermarket Diet (Hardcover)
I have never written a review about anything, but I love this diet so much that I wanted to share it with others. I trully love this diet and I have REALLY tried them all. I have never lasted more than a week on a diet until now. I don't feel food deprived, hungry, moody, my energy is slowly returning and I'm still in the early stages of the diet (first two weeks), and I have already lost a few pounds too. The book is well written, easy to understand, and most importantly easy to follow. The author makes it all so simple. You are provided a shopping list broken down into catagories which makes your store visit quick. The diet is presented a week at a glance, with menus and recipes - it is so organized!!! This diet is superb for those like myself who are super busy, don't like to really cook, and like to grab things to eat quickly. The recipes are so simple to make and quick - less than 20 minutes! If you make a recipe for dinner, you eat it the next day for lunch so there is little waste and there is plenty to share with others even after you take your portions. Since the author teaches you the basics to eating healthy, and shopping healthy, it is a life style change that is longterm. I trully am very pleased with this book and so glad that I purchased it. Good luck!
