I started this book with a certain amount of skepticism. I apologize to the author for that. You might say I was bordering on being a potential hostile reader having read so much ill informed information and obsession with calorie counting and recommending poor nutrition, as long as it is low calorie, in OTHER weight loss books.This book unfolded as a breath of fresh air. No fast weight loss promises, rather there is an intelligent understanding that is isn't about becoming obsessed with counting calories but rather understanding calories.The author furthermore understands the importance of good carbohydrates. I'm so sick of diet books that have no concept that we need every major food group for our bodies to function. Bravo for the healthy carb and for explaining what these are. We have a wierd society where people would deplete their body of B group vitamins derived from the wholegrain carbohydrate they avoid and go to a doctor to get an anti-depressant pill to attempt to do for their body what good carbohydrates do. For this intelligent approach, "Understand calories but don't obsessively count them, consume HEALTHY carbohydrates, exercise, motivate, set goals," I award this book 5 stars.Yes, the book is incredibly short. That is NOT a negative. Weight loss is simple. Consume less calories, as good balanced nutrition,  than you expend in exercise and keep motivated to stay on track. There isn't any more information needed. Want a longer book, lol, re read what's here, it is all 'Spot on."  Jason Brant, I don't know you but I wish the majority of the dieting industry had your good sense attitude to weight loss.
