Zara Neville makes it easy and upfront; "Our bodies are our own, living, breathing, precise feed-back machines. When the innate signals of hunger and fullness hey are constantly sending us are ignored or overridden by various environmental or emotional factors, the evidence will always sow up on our bodies.' Her well written book provides guidance us to recognize, listen and respond to our own inner signals that will in turn lead us to the attractive, slim (fit) body that nature intended.Neville firmly states that diets don't work in the long run, that the guilt dieting creates spurs us to eat more and she proceeds to tell us how to do away with those situations or thoughts that produce guilt, that there are no true good or bad foods, that waiting for TRUE  hunger before eating is the key, to stop eating at comfortably satisfied (and tricks for accomplishing that by asking for a doggy bag or dividing your portions in half, use smaller plates, time each bite, etc), align with a food journal, and  tools to help change your self concept.Throughout this immensely readable book Neville uses her own in depth personal experiences to give us a role model in whom we can believe. Her book is fun to read, full of excellent and sound and realistic and permanent changing advice. Or as she puts it, `This book contains no recommendations for diet pills, surgery, or any other expensive and dangerous weight loss methods. Just simple, practical and easy to follow steps that you can follow in your daily life,'Finally a book that is based on common sense and that doesn't require anything but a change of attitude!
