Reviews

From the Environmental Nutrition Newsletter, July 2002:

Despite its name, this book is not about getting skinny, it’s about getting healthy. And the authors—both members of EN’s Editorial Advisory Board—succeed in that aim. They teach the reader how to make sensible food choices and become more active to lose weight. For many overweight people, losing just 5% to 10% of their current weight can get them healthy, though not necessarily skinny.

The book can help you take control of what you eat in a world where "Big Gulp," "Value-Sized" and "Grande" have become the norm. It is loaded with practical information, and no food is off limits. The catch? You must choose commonsense portions to help you cut calories. Guidelines are given.

Over 50 recipes are included, plus sample menus. The authors ease you into gainingcontrol of your own meal planning by week three. Activity goals and illustrations of simple strength-training and stretching exercises are included.

From Library Journal:
The best-selling nutritionist-authors of The Fat Attack Plan parse the pitfalls of popular diets, offering instead a 28-day "Smart Start" plan that uses sensible eating (no forbidden foods) with realistic portion control, exercise, and strength training. Menus for meal plans of 1300-2000 calories per day are included. For all collections.
