total waste of money:
in my opinion this book does not offer anything that isn't already common sense. the only thing in it that is any good are a couple of recipes. do not buy.
The Best No Fad Diet:
The Book No Fad Diet was exactly what I expected. Menus, recipes and more. If it's difficult for you to put low fat, low calorie menus together this book is a plus. It gives 1,200, 1,600 and 2,000 calorie menus for a full day which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner then provides the recipes to go with them. It also helps you develop your own personal plan with tips and worksheets. It's a great quick start for eating healthy. The recipes are easy to follow and taste good.
No-Fad Diet:
After some years of trying to lose the weight, and then having other problems to prevent said loss of weight, it seems that this book does seem to offer what I have been looking for. Not to mention, this book has been recommended me by others in and around my community. So, it would appear that this is what I have been looking for and what I need.
Good Advice:
This is a very good book that will teach you the things you need to know and practice to live a better healthier life. I plan on taking their advice for the health of my husband, my family, and myself.
A very good resource:
My main objective in purchasing this book was to get me on tract with my cholesterol as well as drop about 10-15 pounds. The first thing I learned was that my portions were way out of line - I had no idea! I like the fact that it offers variations to follow in your diet plan as well as different calorie counts (1200; 1600; 2000) depending on your size & gender. This is no quick fix, but a lesson in how to change your eating habits. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that for me it used way too much refined sugar & flour products. Very few breakfast selections fall into the savory category, most were sweet. For someone who is used to eggs & bacon for breakfast, dried cherry fruit bread, fruit smoothies, & cereal just don't cut it! I did lose weight - 4 lbs. in one month, but have not been able to keep it off. So, I am starting over. I will still use this book as it has the portion control, calorie count that I need, but I wish it had less refined sugar & flour products & more whole grain, savory options.
