Customer Review: Not what I thought it was going to be
It was very hard to read I’m not a Doctor and I guess I thought it was going to just tell me what I should be taking, but if I follow all of this info i would be on so many vitamins i wouldn’t have to eat Breakfast I would just eat a hand full of vitamins. I do look up info and it does give me some answers I can put into use I just wished they would have written it for someone who is not up on her vitamins and minerals

A Thinking Person’s Step by Step Guide to Weight Loss & Exercise Program
This book presents a groundbreaking approach to keeping up with weight loss and exercise plans. The method described - and shown to work based on empirical results - is radically different from traditional methods that single-mindedly emphasize personal motivation. Instead of promoting the establishment of overly ambitious goals, the selection of diet or workout “buddies,” and the pairing of idealized outcomes with guilt trips as an ultimately destructive carrot - stick combination, the book sets out effectively to demolish these common and frequently toxic approaches. In a calmly reasoned, analytical way, the authors identify decisive elements in each person’s environment and show how seemingly small changes in our surroundings and habits lead to lasting results.

Among the many innovative angles presented in the book are recordkeeping tools that bring out patterns hidden in our lifestyles and help us distinguish between real improvement and insignificant blips. After walking the reader through the steps of their unique strategy, the authors offer a full case study that brings the facts and figures to life. The book closes with a discussion on the pitfalls of the self-improvement movement when taken to unhealthy extremes and reiterates the sensible approach that defines its entire content.

Customer Review: New Approach Helpful !
I really enjoyed reading this book and found it refreshingly helpful. It provided an approach to dieting and exercise that I had not thought about before. I liked that a “system approach” was examined to meet the challenge of changing one’s lifestyle as well as an emphasis on team work for succcess. I took the suggestion of tracking my progress and that proved to be informative as well. This is so much better than individual motivation and guilt that are used in most diet and exercise books!
