I agree with the other 5-star reviews I've seen. This is this well written, sensible guide without the hype and false promises of the typical "diet book" (and the price is a real bargain as well). I'd recommend it to anyone.
Best diet book I've ever read August 5, 1999

This is by far the best book on dieting I've ever read. Not just a diet but a whole new healthy way of eating. So far I've been able to lose 60 pounds by following the sensible eating guidelines in the book. These guidelines are flexible enough so you don't feel deprived. Anyone who is serious about loosing weight and feeling good at the same time should give this a try.

I'd give this book six stars if I could. Why doesn't Amazon have six stars? They should have a six-star rating for when you feel absolutely magnanimous. Anyone with an ounce of fat around their midrift would create a six-star rating. Anyway. I'd give it six stars, and each star would represent the ten pounds I've lost as a result of this book. That's right -- I've lost forty pounds! And never felt better in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you K. Colton. Anyone who squirts whipped cream on bacon can see that Miss Colton (may I call her Katharine?) is solely, heroically responsible for the exquisite recipe of style, information, encouragement, and good sense that informs this useful, intrepid, necessary (dare I say magnificent?) literature of self-actualization. For that is what occurs when one sheds the outer layers matter what your weight. But anyway. Great book
Read it if you're sick of "diet books" November 14, 1998

Thank god this book doesn't have the same jokey, smarmy tone of those Complete Idiot's Guides. It's totally accessible but not "dumbed down" or condescending, and it's packed with good, realistic advice. Most important, the author has a great attitude about weight loss: do it for your physical and mental health, not because you want to look like a Vogue model. Her advice hits the mark.
