Summary: Coconuts Rehabilitated!
Review: Cherie Calbom, in collaboration with her behavioral medicine specialist husband, John Calbom, has once again produced a scholarly and eminently useful book on nutrition and diet. Obesity is now epidemic in America and new ways of thinking and acting are required. As a physician and public health scientist, I have several patients who not been able to lose weight on any kind of diet and who are now shedding pounds using the Coconut Diet. One woman has lost 50 pounds over the past six months! Good science, tasty food, and accessible writing make this a necessary cookbook for every kitchen in our obese society. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Want something different? Your weight is over.
Review: Perusing its title, I couldn't help but pick up this book and check it out, imagining a book that would be telling me how I could lose those unwanted pounds by eating just coconuts everyday. However what I found was something completely different. This is a diet book that advocates the ever popular low carb diet to lose weight, but with a twist- incorporating coconut oil into your diet. Written by a nutritionist (a welcome change among diet books) and very easy to follow, if you're up for someting different, this might just be for you.
