The book is a series of "diet" tips. I found the format annoying and not easy to refer back to something I'd read. Unless you are just about to start your very first diet, you won't likely come away with much new information. Granted, I've been around the diet block a number of times and have read quite a lot of diet/nutrition-related books over the years, so it wasn't like I expected that anything in this little book of tips would be earth-shattering news to me. Still, I didn't come away feeling like I'd gained much from reading the book.
Though stress eating is not a major problem for me, I know a lot of people who struggle with it. I did feel that her chapter on stress eating was quite good and helpful.
If you are just starting a diet or launching a healthy eating for life journey, you may find the book helpful in that you may be able to focus on just those tips that will give you the most "bang for your buck."
However if, like me, you've been around the diet block a few times, I would recommend "Thin for Life" by Anne Fletcher.
Oh yes... did I tell you that I don't cook? That I don't know HOW to assemble something even reasonable on a plate for a meal? That, in my life, I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner from McDonald's ... in my car? (Notice, I am not sure if breakfast, lunch and dinner should be capitalized....but I know FOR A FACT that McDonald's is)?!!! But it never mattered. I was skinny and thought there was nothing wrong with going to Dunkin' Donuts for a dozen glazed and a large Diet Coke!
I was miserable went back to the source and picked up Katherine Tallmadge's 2011 edition of, Diet Simple. After reading the first edition of Diet Simple, I knew this was a credo by which I could live. No, "You can't have....." No, "points" no "Not alloweds". Diet Simple is just a down-to-earth book that validates what medical professionals and people with a 'lick 'o sense' already know.
So. Fast-forward to my appointment with my Doctor in Feb 2011. Yep. I was 20 pounds heavy. Yep, I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and all that junk.Yes. Yes and Yes. Of course, the Dr. wanted to put me on meds for BP, cholesterol.....you know....those wonderful non-mind-altering drugs of middle age. Shoot. I didn't take drugs in the '70's, the '80's or the '90's, so why start now? I told Dr. C, "You know? I can fix this. I already exercise, so the thing that is missing is my diet. I told Dr. C that, "I am on a diet.". He rolled his eyes and said, "What diet?" That;s when I laid out the basic principal of "Diet Simple" and Katherine Tallmadge. Good, healthy nutrition.....activity....no, "NOs". Common sense and GREAT recipes! Dr. C said, "I don't know this girl, but I really like her'!
We all live on this great-big ball of dust. And, our lives are so precious. Katherine explains to us how we can live full and bountiful lives without the 'No. You can't....".
Her recipes are wonderful! She has really done her research and from a non-cooker.....I have 2 of her salads in my fridge now to eat for lunch this week; a jar of the most wonderful (and healthy) dressing for our dinner salads and (hehehe....) I am going to surprise my husband with one of the pork dishes which is in the latest revision of Diet Simple!
So. Here is the last testimony. It is May 23rd as I write this.
My husband LOVES Katherine's recipe (which I make) for oatmeal. He doesn't start his morning well without it.
I "cook" on Sundays.....which means I make Katherine's delicious "to keep" recipes. Only problem is that they do not last the week! Husband and family find their way to my house with 'doggy bags'.
But, selfishly to me? I am back in single didget clothes. Not a 4, but; then......Why would I want to?
Buy this book, Buy a pedometer. Do at least 10,000 steps a day (as recommended in Diet Simple and let me know how it goes!
