Weight loss isn't rocket science. But when you are overweight finding a weight loss plan that works for you in the life that you live every day is not easy. I had already read one of Paula's other books when I saw she had this one on the market and I am so glad I picked it up. This book offers some great practical ideas on how to implement a calorie controlled weight loss program while still enjoying your favorite foods.  After-all it is those favorite foods of ours that seem to break our will power every time.  The advice in this book on that topic alone is priceless.Another idea I liked in this book was the idea of how to get over that weight loss plateau that many of us serious dieters seem to go through.  I am not going to divulge that information here, but I found it was a really good idea and one that was easy to put into place.  If you get stuck for food ideas then you will love the meal and snack suggestions included in this book.  My personal favorite was being able to make an ice-cream flot with low fat ice cream and diet root beer - yummy and totally allowable because there are so few calories in that combination.This book is not about giving up foods you love and turning into a rabbit.  It is about putting in place a plan that does work while still allowing you the freedom to chose to eat some fast foods or other favorites once in a while.  It works for me :)  Highly recommended.Lisa OliverAuthor of 30 Days to Lowering Your Cholesterol Naturally
