I liked Julia's story and I could relate to here struggles as a mother with two kids and going through a divorce. I thought there was a lot of good information, but it could have been better. Because I thought the story was so touching, I bought her new book awaken the diet within, and it made up for many of the things that this book lacked. If you want a real story from a real woman, julia has it. If you have a lot of weight to lose you will be very touched by her story, and relate to it very much like I did. But If you are going to spend money on Julia's book, I would get her second book awaken the diet within. It is much better!
Engaging, motivating, honest account of Julia's experiences

"The easiest diet I never went on" is not your typical "diet" book. No magic diet...no secret formula to lose weight....just her personal account of what motivated her to lose 135 lbs. and how she did it! I found her story to be interesting, entertaining, and inpirational. There we so many things I could relate to her with on so many different levels. Her ability to laugh at herself as well as be brutally honest about her situation really made me take a hard look at myself and the reasons I have also "failed" at my own weight loss attempts. No matter what your circumstances are, you will relate to Julia's account of her weight loss and the personal battles she fought. Very motivational and inpirational! A must read for people like myself that have tried it all and failed, because she made me believe in myself and my ability to succeed too!Sincerely, Stephanie
Very inspiring and motivational.

Julia just picked herself up and went. I read this at a very low point in my life and it did motivate me to take action for better health.
ITS GREAT!!!

This was the greatest diet book I've ever read! from the moment I picked it up I was inspired. Its good to know someone who has written a weight loss book can understand what it's like to be overweight. Thanks julia! :)
