Uncommonly great advice about diet and health
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am officially a Janis Jibrin fan; she's a true expert in the field! This book could only be described as unofficial because it debunks the so-called fad diet plans of the last dozen years or more and replaces these lies with real world facts. Read it even if JUST to get the great descriptions of what these bizarre diets are all about and what the problems with them are. Janis Jibrin goes into what really works, as well. She has a witty style and her normal approach to weight control is actually more lasting than a diet plan because this even affects your attitude toward food and health. Since reading it, I have lost many pounds and I am within a few pounds of my target weight. All without risking my overall health and happiness by adhering to some kind of wacky Cabbage Soup diet or Blood Type diet or whatever fad-of-the-month diet there is out there. Get this book and you will not believe how many useful ideas and quick tips there are in it! And don't be surprised if this book blows away some of your most closely held notions of food, diet, exercise, and health. It's the real thing.
A sane, helpful weight loss guide

This book has helped me to lose six pounds! It's great. Ms Jibrin offers sensible advice on how to go about getting started on a diet. It was just what I needed after the holidays. I've incorporated many of her tips into my daily life and I feel a lot healthier. Instead of making me feel bad for carrying extra weight, Ms. Jibrin made me feel great about making the effort to get in shape, eat healthy, and lose weight. This is a really great book.
