Excellent Book

This is a DK book. Everyone out there probabily bought some DK books for their kids because of their visual appeal. Well, they have finally come out with an "Adult" "for Dummies" series, with excellent content, and finally some real color. The bland yellow appearance of the "Dummies" series is now a thing of the past. Highly Recommended!!!

A thorough guide to weight loss

This book packed with information for those not only seeking to lose weight, but those wanting to create a healthier lifestyle. There are twenty chapters divided into six sections. The reader is expected to get a notebook and complete the various assignments given throughout the book. Topics covered in the book include everything from "Why lose weight?" to "The ABC's of Nutrition", "Living with your diet" and "Diet Troubleshooting". But the focus isn't just on food. There are several chapters dedicated to exercise and various other topics, like finding support and meal planning.This is not a book for anyone looking to lose weight fast. It's geared for those who are willing to take their time, take a good look at themselves, their habits, their lifestyle, and consciously make changes in their life to create healthier living. The journal assignments are interesting. One, for example, is to write your hopes-and your fears-about losing weight. You may not think there are fears holding you back but once you start writing, it's interesting what comes forward.Although the book may be a bit more expensive than other weight loss books, it can easily serve as a lifelong guide to keeping balance. It's full of pictures and illustrations that keep the reader entertained. The only bad thing is - well, it can't do the work for you, and that's a real bummer!
