A Helpful Planning Book

This book is helpful in planning a diet because it contains easily read, useful pages on things like the exact numbers of various types of nuts which constitute a 1 oz serving for snacks, etc. There are a few good-looking recipes which I haven't tried; however, recipes are not the focus of the book. The planning elements are the main focus and very useful.

FINALLY - just what I've been looking for!

I am so excited that I decided to order this book. I am already into week 3, and feel that this will finally be the catalyst to help me change my eating habits! This is an easy-to-follow, no-nonsense plan for easing into a healthier lifestyle. Everytime I've gone on a "diet" I usually last about 3 days, before all of the food I've labeled "forbidden" begins to tempt me. By using this book, and taking necessary changes step by step, instead of "all or nothing", I am on the way to eating healthier, and am losing weight as well. The info in this book certainly isn't "new," but is laid out in such a way that success seems much easier to attain.

Change One -- Finally a Common-Sense Diet

Change One is a breath of fresh air. Finally, I've found a diet book that is not based on bogus science or the fad du jour. It's based on common sense. It's based on eating a balanced diet and mixing in a little exercise. The problem with any diet is sticking to it, and it seems that the whole point here is that Change One gives me the tools to make necessary changes in my own life patterns to eat well and keep unwanted weight off. With the kind of balanced approach described by Change One, I've been able to get my weight down to a trim 167 pounds for the first time in many years. I recommend the Change One approach to anyone serious about health and weight loss.Daniel H. Adler, MDWeston, Connecticut

Strong discipline, strong results

There are no magic tricks here, just sound nutritional principles. I've wasted too much time and pain on fads in the past and this diet is the perfect antidote. Good food, taken in moderation with strong behavioral guidelines to help you. I'm a month in and I've lost 17 lbs and it feels like I will keep them off. The balanced diet has eliminated the hunger and cravings which have haunted me in the past. The book is a joy to read and so easy to follow.

Truly sensible weight loss

I've explored a LOT of weight-loss programs, and what troubles me most about them is that they are built on a gimmick -- eat extra peanut butter, gorge on meat, drink weird oils, guzzle this, deny yourself that. ChangeOne is really the first program that seems 1) thoroughly sensible and 2) truly sustainable. Rather than changing you overnight, it teaches you step by step how to eat healthy and smart for the rest of your life. No calorie counting, no points, no protein or carb gram tallying, just sensible portions, healthy foods, and a positive, energetic approach to life. The portion-specific food photos are wonderfully instructive, and the quizzes, success stories, recipes, and tips are fun and motivating. I'm off to great start, and believe that Change One will be the last diet I'll ever need.This is the perfect weight-loss program for people sick of gimmicks, weird science, and yo-yo dieting. Highly recommended!!
