Thin for Good: The One Low-Carb Diet That Will Finally Work for You

Rating:
Summary: Good about integrating mind and body in dieting
Review: The most valuable aspect of this book is the psychological. The mind is a crucial ally in this battle to lose weight, and the author realizes that the "mind" part of losing weight has not been addressed in most other diets. However, the diet itself is more complicated than Atkins or Protein Power, and some of the limitations he imposes are not explained (I mean, I'm not going to measure out my mustard, for gosh sakes!) Therefore, to me, this book is best used to supplement other low-carb plans.

Summary: A New Revolution in Low-Carb Diet Books
Review: Thin for Good is a great book because it addresses the dieter on multiple levels, particularly mind, body and spirit (MBS). Many other diet books miss the point that it takes MBS to have long-term success and happiness in doing anything. I found the book's instruction on how to read nutritional labels comprehensive and easy-to-follow. I love how the author acknowledged Dr. Atkins work, but presented ideas of his own. This book is a fabulous find!

Summary: The most honest diet book you will ever read
Review: When writing this book, I wanted to be able to share with readers that the life long struggle with yo-yo dieting could indeed end. I have worked with thousands of weight loss patients and the ones that were the most successful were the ones able to involve their mind along with their bodies in their quest for thinness. In this book, I utilize the healthy aspects of low carb dieting and leave behind all the bad ones - after all, is all that bacon fat really healthy in the long run? This book is designed so that people of all ages can enjoy a diet that will work for their sex and their stage of life. We all know that a diet designed for a 35 year old male may not be the ideal diet for the peri or post menopausal woman. Why have another excuse to fail? This is not a "one diet fits all" approach. It is individualized for your needs and looks at foods in a realistic manner that you will definitely be able to live with. There are no gimmicks in this book. By using the power of your mind, you will be able to lose weight and keep it off forever. I was 80 pounds heavier than the picture you see on the cover of the book. If I could do it, you can too. Good luck and Enjoy!
