Eating a large variety of healthy foods is important for keeping your muscles and body in an optimal state of health. Low-carb diets, fat-free diets, low-calorie diets... this is not where you will find optimal health or lasting fat-loss success. The foods utilized in this book allow for the body and metabolism to be fed properly, and to remain active. I have always liked the approach that Weight Watchers takes when it comes to putting together a dietary plan, and this book is no exception. Great recipies for anyone who is trying to properly lose fat weight and stay healthy. Combine this type of diet with the right plan for exercise/physical activity and you will be on your way to weight-management success! Take it from an Exercise Physiologist and fat-loss specialist, the key to keeping off the excess weight is to feed your body all of the things that make it function at its best. This book follows that premise and stays away from the low-carb dietary trickery out there that relies upon rapid loss of glycogen and water from muscles to entice followers to buy into the diet plan. Thumbs-up to this book!
