Summary: Smart stuff
Review: As a college student whose major is nutrition, I'd recommend this book to anyone who's just not sure where to start when it comes to weight loss. You don't have to starve yourself to be thin, and these weird "protein" diets that are all the craze now aren't a permanent solution. The good thing about the "Dummies" series is it's simplicity; this book is easy to understand and has sound dieting principles that will really help a person get control of their eating. Check it out!

Summary: Beat the battle of the bulge!
Review: Dieting For Dummies proposes to end the confusion over battling the bulge, not by offering a magic bullet that will melt the extra pounds away, but by providing a weight loss and exercise plan that is meant to last a lifetime. It helps the consumer decipher fact from fiction about dieting and answer many of their everyday diet and nutrition questions and concerns. The focus is on health, not cosmetics. It busts the myth of ideal weight and puts the emphasis on reaching for a reasonable weight. It's positive and it's honest. Like all the ...For Dummies titles, readers don't have to read it cover to cover. The topics covered are organized into easy-to-find, accessible chapters. Unlike the many other diet books on the market, Dieting For Dummies is not filled with dietary restrictions and weight loss gimmicks. Instead, it provides strategies and tips for long-term weight management success. This approach helps increase dieters' energy and self-esteem, as well as improve their overweight-related health problems. I'm a registered dietitian and I've been on more diets than most people. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and was a teenager when Twiggy was popular. I understand the dieter's mind. I want readers to know I'm on their side, and hopefully, I can offer them some help and encouragement that they haven't heard elsewhere.

Summary: Dieting for Dummies
Review: I think this book is an excellent resource. I completely dissagree with the customer from Ann Arbor. As the title indicates, this book is intended to give the general public basic background about healthy eating and weight loss. This sound, research-based information is sorely needed in response to fad diet claims so prominent these days. And, by the way, eggs do not cause heart disease, and neither does dietary cholesterol. It is well known that saturated fat is the culprit. Maybe you should have read the book instead of returned it?
