A Feast for the Soul, December 3, 2002
Filled with inspirational tips and pointers, Why The Weight--Dare to be Great! is a feast for the soul. For anyone who has tried to lose weight (and that includes just about everyone), you will be guaranteed success by reading this book.
From the occasional tip, such as 'Eat asparagus and cantaloupe the day before your weigh-in---they are natural diuretics' to 'Buy a dog--they are exercise machines with hair', you will laugh, be informed and delighted, and inspired to get into action and over to your local weight-loss organization to see those pounds melt off.
As a moderately-successful weight-loss person (I've lost 36 pounds so far), I picked up Jean Krueger's book for a boost. I've been on a plateau lately and was considering going downstairs for a tiny slice of left-over pumpkin pie from Thanksgiving. Those last ten pounds have been eluding me.
After reading Jean's book, I now realize that I've been guilty of the nibble syndrome--eating without recording---and I can easily skip that pie. I am certain that her tips will bring me back to the final weight-loss goal that I've been craving.
This book is for everyone---those beginning their weight-loss journey, those thinking about starting, and the intermediates like myself who haven't quite reached their goals. In addition, it's an inspirational shot in the arm.
Jean uses authors Don Miguel Ruiz, Stephen Covey, Harvey MacKay and Dr. Wayne Dyer, as well as her own stories and advice to uplift. In addition, she is a fountain of knowledge on every food and its qualities.
This book is a must for anyone who wants to be spurred to positive action. It is a workbook in which you ask yourself Universal questions, such as WHO would I like to become? WHERE would I like to go? and similar searching questions which will create the new, goal-directed you. You are given practical instructions to get going on the behavior modification that will lead to success.
It is a book to be read over and over again, to be savored and enjoyed.
Marilyn Gibson,...

Jean Kreuger changing the world, December 24, 2002
I was expecting yet another diet book. I was delighted to find that this is not just another Diet Book. Jean Krueger writes not only of Nutrition, exorcise and helpful hints like so many have done before... but she does it with a personality, charm and sense of humor that will have you enchanted from the beginningJean Kreuger dives in where only a handful of authors have dipped their toes. Soon you will be swimming along with her through the normally dry subject of the psyche. As she takes you along with what I will describe as a "What makes you tick" approach and a positive attitude and honesty that is refreshing. You will gain an insight into the roots of weight control problems.You will gain an insight into yourself as well. Jean Kreuger has a warmth and energy that seems to pour off of each page that is very rare indeed. You will close this book to become the better person you are inside. You will also open this book again and again for there are hints, knowledge, experience, values and much more that you can apply throughout your everyday life. That is how Jean Kreuger is making this world better... one person at a time.
