Persnickety

If the person that wrote the review on 10/29/04 would get on with his life and stop paying close attention to our accomplishments...maybe he could get a good night's rest instead of a night full of interruptions--"Spasms."

Finally a healthy, balanced and complete approach

I've had a weight problem since I was a kid and have looked at all the new books. Only Dr. Markham seems to have been adressing all of the wellness issues for years. Most of the books are written by people with no real background or experience at all, never having dealth with real overweight patients, just jumping on the diet book craze to make some fast money whether they really knew anything about exercise and diet. Some writers had one or another, some had none, but only Dr. Markham seems to have done it all.This is the first book I've seen that really covers everything. I only started on the program a week and a half ago, but I've lost 4 pounds easily. The exercise plan looks easy enough. I haven't seen Dr. Markam's bungee unit in any local store so I guess I'll order it from his site, Cheap enough and I don't have to drive in lousy winter weather to a gym.The only thing that I would change is some more recipes. But since he has a bunch of easy looking ones on his website I'll still give the book 5 stars.
