Format:Hardcover
This large book does not offer magic solutions to weight loss and does not pretend to - unlike many diet books. Instead it offers sensible, practical help and advice about nearly every aspect of dieting you can think of. Its practical focus on dieting is non judgemental and expunges many of the myths that surround the industry of 'diets' and the propaganda about so called 'specialist' diets. The question / answer sections take some time to get used to until you realise that the questions are ones you would like answering - but maybe never asked all at once. There is a summary of the many different types of diets and a rating for their long term success (which is after all what you want) I cannot pretend that this book alone is responsible for my weight loss of some two and a half stone over the last few months - that would be silly - but I can say that it lead me the right way and taught me that diets are not about fads and quick fix solutions but about making the right choices and re-educating the way I eat. It is an excellent book to dip in and out of - keep it by the side of your bed and read a few sections occasionally to keep you on the straight and narrow. I cannot think of anything it does not cover - it even discusses diets for children. By all means buy other diet books - but you'll soon realise that this one is the one you'll turn to again and again.

Format:Paperback
Best book on diet/health I've ever read. Mainly as it is unbiased. Takes a while to get to grips with how to read the sections and how they link in together, but once you do, it is a mine of knowledge. As long as you put it to good use.
It dispels the stupid myths like not eating carbs after 6 pm (pleeeze! get a brain people) and in the end after absorbing all the information you actually understand how your body works and what it does and does not need. Brilliant.
Yes it's just a manual, but you will be very surprised how you just can't put it down as it's so packed with interesting information.
