Summary: Smart stuff
Comment: As a college student whose major is nutrition, I'd recommend this book to anyone who's just not sure where to start when it comes to weight loss. You don't have to starve yourself to be thin, and these weird "protein" diets that are all the craze now aren't a permanent solution. The good thing about the "Dummies" series is it's simplicity; this book is easy to understand and has sound dieting principles that will really help a person get control of their eating. Check it out!

Summary: A simplistic, ill-informed book
Comment: Some of the information in this book might be useful to someone starting from ground zero - someone who knows absolutely nothing about dieting or who still believes that grapefruit burns calories or that fasting is safe. For those who have any knowledge of nutrition, however, the book presents nothing original or even interesting. Worse, though, the book also contains misinformation. Kirby knows little about vegetarian nutrition and is apparently unaware of what is really now old news - that the old-style food combining of the seventies actually isn't necessary. She also proposes a hard-boiled egg as a healthful diet snack, so one has to wonder about her general nutritional knowledge as well. Such a high-cholesterol snack might be all right once in a while, but it's hardly a good food for someone trying to avoid heart disease as well as lose weight. I used to believe I could trust information in the "For Dummies," books, but now I'm not so sure. This is the first book I've ever returned in my life.

Rating: 5
Summary: This book is great
Comment: I am really learning a lot about my eating habits and better choices/ways to eat from this book. It's easy to read and has an easy to follow format that is addictive in itself. I'm making life changes and this book was right on time to help me in that pursuit.
