This is a nicely written, no-nonsense book about weight loss.Some advice the author gives is pretty counterintuitive but... For example:- Don't weigh yourself every day and even don't weight yourself for the first month of this weight loss program - almost every other diet book I've read insists otherwise. I, personally, found that once a week or sometimes even every two weeks works best for me. Doing it more often - not so much.- Discrediting the idea that weight gain is most often caused by inactivity and poor food choices than slow metabolism - that's another myth goes down the drain.- If you are not eating enough, your metabolism slows down to preserve energy and you are not loosing much weight - very true, I've learned it the hard way.- Even the choices of food are not what your usual diet guides would recommend. Some foods apparently could be higher in calories yet better processed by our bodies, which improves digestion, which improves weight loss. Who knew.The book also covers sleeping, exercise, etc. It's a pretty holistic approach to a weight loss.All in all, if you tried different  diets and they are not really working out for you, this book offers some refreshing ideas on how you can start losing weight again.
