Product Description

Woman's Own June 2001

Dieting for dummies dispels the myths, teaches you nutrition basics and gives solid advice... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Does the world really need another book on dieting? More important, do you? Plenty of diet books make promises that this one doesn′t. Lots tell you that losing weight and keeping it off is easy when you know their secrets. Well, here′s a secret that the other books won′t tell you: Dieting gimmicks, like banning pasta, don′t work. And that′s precisely why you need this book. It′s not about fad plans or take–it–off–quick schemes. It′s about balancing healthful eating and exercise for a lifetime.

This second edition of Dieting For Dummies is for anyone who has eaten too much and wants to lose weight. The information presented here is appropriate for someone wanting to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds. You can use it as a guide for eating healthfully, and not only a way to lose weight. Because, when you discover how to eat the healthy way, you will lose weight.

The material in Dieting For Dummies is grouped so that you don′t have to start at the beginning – although that′s a nice place to start. If you′d rather, you can flip right to the chapter that contains the information you need. You′ll discover information on

  • Understanding what a healthy weight is and how to find yours
  • Getting over overeating
  • Formulating a plan for healthy eating
  • Shopping, cooking, and dining out to make eating healthy easier
  • Finding and working with health–care professionals you can trust, for when you can′t seem to go it alone

People come in a wide range of heights, weights, and girths. One is not better than another. But staying within your healthiest weight range can help you achieve optimal health and well–being. Let this book help you see through the fog of fads and myths. Then read on and find out how you can stop dieting and start living healthfully.

2.0 out of 5 stars A simplistic, ill-informed book, 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dieting for Dummies (Paperback)
Some of the information in this book might be useful to someone starting from ground zero - someone who knows absolutely nothing about dieting or who still believes that grapefruit burns calories or that fasting is safe. For those who have any knowledge of nutrition, however, the book presents nothing original or even interesting. Worse, though, the book also contains misinformation. Kirby knows little about vegetarian nutrition and is apparently unaware of what is really now old news - that the old-style food combining of the seventies actually isn't necessary. She also proposes a hard-boiled egg as a healthful diet snack, so one has to wonder about her general nutritional knowledge as well. Such a high-cholesterol snack might be all right once in a while, but it's hardly a good food for someone trying to avoid heart disease as well as lose weight. I used to believe I could trust information in the "For Dummies," books, but now I'm not so sure. This is the first book I've ever returned in my life.
