A Nutritionist Weighs in...

This plan is practical and you can easily apply it to everyday life. It provides impressive and relevant advice that most people can use without feeling limited. In fact, if you've tried fad diets, you may be shocked by the non-restrictive format.

The plan also reminds you to consider all of your health related habits. This allows you to make changes that best accommodate your lifestyle, and that you will be more likely to stick to.

This book is loaded with useful information about food and nutrition, presented in a way that is very easy to understand, and most importantly, makes a lot of sense.

Take the time to educate yourself so that you can make smart food choices

This plan provides realistic weight loss tactics, but no quick fix solutions. Willett presents guidelines to improve your health, and the scientific evidence to back it up. He does this in a way that is easy to understand, but it is a huge amount of information to absorb. To get the most out of this plan, dieters should approach the book section-by-section, take notes, and truly educate themselves with the information provided.

You'll be preparing meals thoughtfully from numerous fresh ingredients. This is no fad diet and promises no quick fix, so some dieters may not be willing to put in the time necessary to make it work.
