I love the books in this series, and this one is no exception. Again, the focus is on health and long-term goals and I cannot stress enough how important this is when it comes to being successful at losing weight. Things that I liked:- The importance of tracking calories, on a daily and weekly basis and how to do that effectively. Long term plan that is realistic, sensible, doable and effective. Small steps that will ultimately lead to the desired goal.- Focus on following a balanced diet that is healthy and not too restrictive. Importance of fruit and vegs and portion sizes.- No fad diets (NEVER starve yourself or skip meals). The importance of getting rid of the all-or-nothing mentality, which is very destructive. There needs to be room for special treats and enough flexibility to allow for lazy / bad days.- What to do when you seem to reach a plateau and can't seem to be able to lose any more weight.- The importance of exercise and how to combine this with a flexible diet that allows for special treats and the foods that you love.I totally recommend this book to anybody who is serious about getting healthier and losing weight without yo-yo dieting. It's never about how quickly you can lose weight but about being smart and keeping focused. It's about creating a clever plan that is effective, about having short and long term goals that are sensible and doable. Be smart and get this book now; you won't regret it.
