I've occasionally struggled with weight, but I have always shunned diets as being quick fixes that never look to the core of the issue which is so much more than simply adhering to a strict, hard-to-follow routine.  I was delighted to find this book to be one which shares that same philosophy.  With Healthy Cheats, Jennifer Iserloh has written a comprehensive guide to changing one's lifestyle and mindset to focus on healthy habits that work for one's true self.  There are so many great, practical ideas within this book that will all work to build momentum in one's quest to live a healthier lifestyle and remove excess pounds.  Some of the ideas I found most helpful included setting realistic goals, balancing one's plate, ingredient recommendations, when to buy organic, making vegetables the centerpiece of your meal instead, cooking techniques and lots of delicious healthy recipes.  There are even embedded how-to videos of the author demonstrating preparations in the book. However, there are literally dozens more ideas in the book.  I think of this book as a common sense guidebook for health and will revisit it frequently to make sure I stay focused on many of the suggestions.
