Summary: I finally see the light!
Review: I highly recommend this honest, funny and motivating book! I have been on every diet that has been out on the market. These diets always left me starving. Thanks to Stephens book for the first time I finally see the light! This book teaches you that you can feel full while losing weight. Our media sells us starve yourself diets that don't work. This book points you in the right direction to eating healthier fat free foods and had great recipes. I have tried all of these recipes and can tell you I love them! Diabetics will find hope, courage and a good laugh in this book. Thank you Stephen for helping me finally really understand that I can lose weight (or maintain a healthy weight) and still feel full. I have read a many books on weight loss and it was Confessions of a Diabetic Couch Potato that finally made me see the light. Bravo Stephen!
