You on a Diet book review

This is a good book. It emphasizes life changes over short term diet strategies. The writers go into the science behind all the buzz words we hear today. You will come away with a better understanding of how this things work in the body and the general biology behind weight loss and gain.

Their basic thesis is that if you eat the right foods and develop the habit of exercise, your body will return to its idea weight. They tell you the food types to avoid and provide a basic plan for eating and exercise. The point is also made that you can be skinny and have as many health risk as an over weight person if you lifestyle is not a healthy one. Exercise has to be part of your life. It makes losing and keeping off weight easier. When you exercise you also get the side effects of reducing the risks of many diseases.

My biggest complaint is their use of corny phrases to emphasize points. Sometimes they do help make the point but many times they get in the way.

If you are not the type that likes knowing the whys with the how’s you will not like this book. As for me and I give it 5 stars out of 5.
