5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Companion Guide To Picture Perfect Weight Loss, January 14, 2002
By Carol Bardelli and Jerry Bardelli (Silver Springs, NV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss Shopper's Guide : Supermarket Choices for Permanent Weight Loss (Paperback)
This book is an Excellent Companion Guide to Dr. Shapiro's first book "Picture Perfect Weight Loss". A previous reviewer seems to have confused this new book as being a paperback version of his first book. Dr. Shapiro did rely on photos as a major aid in his first book, but photos would be less helpful in this shopping guide. With overweight and obesity reaching epidemic proportions in America, too many people are seeking easy fixes for weight loss, risking further damage to their health. Dr. Shapiro has taken the only healthy and safe way to lose weight - eating a variety of naturally low-fat/low-calorie whole foods in correct portions - and created an easy-to-understand visual guide with "Picture Perfect Weight Loss". THIS book is intended to help followers of "Picture Perfect Weight Loss" negotiate the grocery store and its pitfalls. In today's world, with our stressful, time crunched lifestyles, it's impossible to avoid relying on packaged foods sometimes. This book shows which brands are healthier, tastier and not apt to break your diet. This is an excellent source of information that can help you save your waistline and even your life. I would recommend purchasing "Picture Perfect Weight Loss" before exploring this book, but Dr. Howard M. Shapiro should be praised for continuing to extend his knowledge, expertise and help to people with weight problems - and that's most of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent companion book to PICTURE PERFECT WEIGHT LOSS!, August 14, 2002
This review is from: Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss Shopper's Guide : Supermarket Choices for Permanent Weight Loss (Paperback)
Picture Perfect Weight Loss Shoppers Guide is the companion book to Dr. Shapiro's original book Picture Perfect Weight Loss (PPWL).

The book PPWL uses visual pictures to help readers realize the differences in calories between items. For example, you could eat one black and white cookie or eat a whole box of fudge pops!
The intent of the book PPWL is to help you become aware of your food choices in order to make healthier choices and/or lose weight.

The PPWL Shopper's Guide takes the information from the original book one step further by giving you brand name items to look for in your grocery store. The guide does not show the stunning pictures like the original book does. Instead it "walks" you through the supermarket aisles and helps you make good choices.

It's like having Dr. Shapiro or one of his assistants with you. At the beginning of the book Shapiro recaps the PPWL program. Then he teaches you how to read food labels. Next you are given a list of anytime foods. These are items to keep around all the time. Fruits and veggies head the list. But there are also some surprises, like tootsie pops, and frozen desserts.

Item by item, Dr. Shapiro walks you throught the grocery store and helps you fill your cart with delicious, nutritious foods that will keep the pounds off. You learn what to look for in the dairy section, frozen food aisle, meat area, bread shelf etc. Depriviation and dieting are things of the past! You can eat well, lose weight and enjoy by making simple changes!

Though smaller than many books the PPWL Shopper's Guide is not pocketsized. Its a book you would be more likely to read at home and then go shopping. I would like to see Dr. Shapiro put out an additional book. A tiny brand name shoppers guide that you could tuck in your pocket and use at the store. This book has that information but so much additional info that sizewise its more for home use and to make a grocery list from. Hopefully, Dr. Shapiro will put out a condensed, handy to carry version in the future.

The book is an excellent source of information and will help you make the best supermarket choices to improve your health and or achieve permanent weight loss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture Perfect - Great Book, October 23, 2002
By Sissalou "sissalou" (SAINT CLAIR, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss Shopper's Guide : Supermarket Choices for Permanent Weight Loss (Paperback)
My purpose in writing this review is to let others know whether or not in my opinion, the book being reviewed is worth trading their hard-earned cash for. In this case, my opinion is a resounding "Yes." If you're shopping today, put this book in your cart and run to the checkout.

This book is a "little nugget." It is about 4 x 7 inches which should easily fit into a woman's average-sized handbag for easy reference. But, good news, this isn't a book that you need to tote with you to the supermarket. Dr. Shapiro shares some very simple principles that if you pay attention to, you can shop without any kind of guide and fill you grocery cart full of weight-conscious selections. I have already begun to use some of the principles Dr. Shapiro suggested.

Basically, the book is filled with good, common sense. Two things I found extremely helpful were his discussions on peanut-butter and on drinks we buy to swallow. He dispelled a common peanut butter "myth" and makes us aware that we have a choice between chewing our calories or swigging them down.

Dr. Shapiro's book also has helpful little hints and sidebars with comparisons in the book that are absolutely eye-opening. There is a small calorie-counter section in the back, if you want one.
By the way, Dr. Shapiro's tone in the book is light and refreshing. It makes you want to make the best decisions for yourself.
