I think this is a great, informative book that is probably helpful to just about anyone. I like that the author broke down the different types of body fat and the many causes of excess weight. I think a lot of this book is fairly common sense stuff, like avoiding sugar and junk foods that don’t have any nutritional value.One thing I don’t agree with in this book, is the sample diet provided. All of the meals focus on meats and vegetables. There is no grains, fruit or dairy products included. Leaving out three of the five food groups is incredibly unbalanced, which could lead to vitamin deficiencies. When the body is deficient in essential vitamins, then the person will automatically crave more food to correct the problem. In this case, that extra food will lead to an increase in eating and less chance of weight loss. For best results, snacks should be fresh fruits, like apples, grapes, and berries, and main meals focusing on proteins, vegetables and whole grains.Other than that one correction, I think this is a great weight loss guide that covers a lot of different aspects in why people struggle so much winning the belly battle.
