S.T. Kim's approach to weight loss is a common sense one - control of weight is dependent on approach not only to nutrition but to life style. This is not a book of lists of approaches to embrace and those to avoid, this is more a conversation about being realistic, taking responsibility for your own state of being to guide the reader to a state of permanent (as opposed to sporadic fads) changes to control weight, health and well being.An examination of the table of contents is a succinct summation of what you can expect form this book and it bears quoting: Obesity can kill you, let's fix this; first the risks. What not to do, What works?, Setting Weight-loss goals, Set SMART goals, Think about timing, Focus on the process,Plan for setbacks, The diets that DO work, DASH Diet, TLC Diet, Jenny Craig Diet, Atkins Diet, Mediterranean Diet, Keeping the weight off for good, General guidelines: Supplements for weight loss - Calcium, Green Tea Extract, Meal Replacements,Over-the-Counter Orlistat, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Fiber - each explained in enough detail that you may find this is the first time you truly understand the language of the author.It can all be summed up as the following: `The key to reaching your ideal weight and keeping the weight off is to make long-term changes to your diet and lifestyle that you can stick to for life: Stick to lower calorie eating, Plan ahead, Eat breakfast, Stay active, Watch you weight (weigh regularly), Get support, Keep it interesting, Set yourself goals, Exercise, Use healthy food swaps, and Stick to the changes.Lots of information here to answer all the questions floating around about how to get and stay slim. Worth reading and following. Grady Harp, June 14
