Make no mistake, if you live in the western world of today, you probably could stand to lose a few pounds. I've personally been on a weight-loss journey myself for a little over a year now. I'm down 34 lbs from my high weight and still have 5-10 lbs to go. I never thought I'd even get this far - I'm a curvy girl! Me at 122 lbs? No way! But I got more than I bargained for, and the kind of advice this book offers is exactly why.There are a few hard realities we all need to accept about weight loss, and this book isn't blind to them. The book gives good tips for keeping track of your food, performing regular exercise, and making sensible eating choices - as well as how to avoid putting weight back on, a pitfall so many momentarily successful dieters fall into. It's not difficult to understand, but it's difficult for us as human beings to accept that we'll have to give up some of our favorite delights for long lasting dieting success.I learned of several new things I can work into my diet to help me out from this book, like pigweed and the fact that I was cooking with the WRONG kind of oil. This kind of fine tuningg is necessary to keep your weight loss going and going.
