I come back to this book a lot. It is a simple plan and you eat regular food that is easily purchased at the grocery store. I’ve tried many of the recipes, and they are either good ‘as is’ or with a bit of tweaking. For example, the crustless chocolate-cinnamon pie tastes great without the cinnamon. The beef-barley soup recipe works well with two cans of crushed tomatoes and one less cup of water, and ground beef works with it, too, rather than leftover roast. Anyone with common sense can do well on this diet and make the recipes suit you. But, since the diet is pretty much a food exchange system with numerous choices, you don’t have to use the cookbook at all if you don’t want to. I like being able to use what I have on hand, instead of always having to run to the store for special ingredients.

I always feel healthy when I use this plan. Lots of lean protein, fruits and vegetables. Less starch and dairy, but enough to feel satisfied.

This is not a fad, and not a “diet” in the sense that they adhere to it for a few months and then their problems are resolved. It is a common-sense change eating patterns for the rest of his life – but is a flexible program that will not even realize that after getting the hang of it. Please do yourself a favor and give him a chance and not mislead.

The beginning of the book explains, in plain English the most wonderful, why and how the metabolism starts to change As you get older (and much has to do with the mechanics of fat storage and water). It is an interesting and informative (and relatively quick) read. The middle section describes the program of diet and three phases, and half of the book are recipes for starters. The beauty of this diet is that you can change what you eat normally, instead of spending a lot of time shopping or preparing “food program. It is based on balance and portion control and which provides a good calorie burn.

I can not understand why this book never went out of print. It is on the shelf of every woman.

Try bringing cans of soup or chili with you to work. All you need to do is follow the microwave directions on the can and have a large enough microwave safe bowl (or a decent sized glass measuring cup works well, espceially with its handle). Add some crackers or bread and you’ll have a quick and good lunch.

I found a copy of this book at the library. It’s a little dated (late 80’s) but as far as I’m concerned good information never goes out of style. This program works! The dietary changes are easy to incorporate. It’s far more balanced and real-world than many of the modern fad programs. There’s enough “give” to make these changes a permanent part of your lifestyle, which means long-term success. Why struggle with elaborate programs that aren’t realistic for busy women? It’s so disheartening to lose weight and then regain the minute you can’t sustain strict or demanding rules. This author tells a familiar story (she struggled with weight issues herself) and it really rang true to me. Many women have experienced resistant weight loss as they go into their thirties. Our doctors tell us we need more discipline, but we know something has changed. This program was essentially a research project for weight loss in women of this age group and older. I really enjoyed knowing that it worked for women with backgrounds similar to my own. I’ll take research over fad any day. There is a small recipe section in the back but you don’t need it. While the recipes may be an extra convenience for some, the author sets up a program that lets you modify a program for your lifestyle. There is a lot of flexibility (just pick from a list and combine as you like). I personally chose the healthiest versions of the various food choices listed, but there are less than stellar choices available too. Pristine vegetarians and recovering food junkies (aka white bread etc) alike can make this program work. This is a nice, sensible, realistic program (designed by a nutritionist) and it has enough room to modify for a variety needs.

If you must eat microwave meals, try getting the organic ones. Check out the ethnic sections of your supermarket. There are lots of choices that are either vacuum packed (don’t need to freeze) or just require water (however, they can be high in sodium). Or buy a premade rotisserie chicken and some healthier sides in the prepared foods section of your market, and package in lunch portion sizes each day. Or keep cans of good hearty soups (and a can opener and bowl) in your desk for emergencies.

If you’re near a Trader Joe’s, they have a lot of decent meals in their refrigerator, freezer and other sections that are higher quality than some of the other stuff out there.

If you don’t even have time to make a sandwich or salad, there are a variety of sanwiches and entree sized green salads with meats/proteins in most grocery stores.

If you don’t have time to cook, get a crock pot. They come with simple instructions for a variety of healthy meals that ANYONE can make. You’re just throwing the ingredients in and turning it one. Do it before bed and it will cook while you sleep. Freeze in individual containers and you’ll have plenty of healthy meals (and it’s a lot cheaper than fast food to boot).

Since you have a high metabolism, pack healthy snacks, that have healthy fat, protein and fiber. Keep in your drawer at work: small baggies of nuts mixed with dried fruit/a jar of pb and tupperware container of crackers. Or if there’s a refrigerator, some string cheese/hummus and veggies.

And you can make healthy fast food choices — get an entree salad and a baked potato at Roy Rogers — or a Roast Beef sandwich with lots of veggie toppings and avoid the mayo. Sandwiches from delis (watch the cheese and condiments). Even pizza can be healthy if watch the higher grease/fat toppings like sausage and pepperoni, and pile on the veggies.

Try to drink water, teas and juices instead of sodas.
