From Library Journal
At first glance, this appears to be just another diet book, but it is different. Nutritionist Waterhouse discusses the physiological reasons that make it difficult for women to lose weight and explains why changing the body composition to lose fat is more important. She then shows why diets don't work and presents a program that combines aerobic exercise, eating moderately throughout the day, choosing low-fat foods, and not eating after 6 p.m. By gradually integrating this program into their lives, women can control their weight without dieting and also improve their health. Waterhouse's advice about coping with travel, restaurant meals, and holiday meals is useful, too. Recommended for health and fitness collections.

A common sense approach to weight loss you can stick to!
Debra provides a common sense approach to weight loss for women that you can stick to. After all, a woman'a body is different than a man's. After completing the book, I have been educated on how my female fat cells work. Because of this knowledge I am more willing to give them a challenge. Debra's OFF steps make sense -- exercise and eating when you are hungry. Of course she gives you tips to stay motivated, but you'll have to read the book to get those! I highly recommend this book for women who have struggled and failed at diets. This is not a diet -- a lifelong, sensible commitment to a healthy lifestyle. As she says, there is no bad food if you don't overeat it.

Awesome! It is so easy!
She states in the book that, "the typical American woman today eats 200 calories less then she did in 1960 and weighs about 6 pounds more." Wonder why? Read the book!

This book is for the person who wants to make very simple changes to their life which will allow them to eat the foods they love - in moderation. You never feel deprived or guilty! And you will lose weight - if you are honest with yourself. I was working out 4 to 5 days a week and was still gaining weight. After joining weight watchers the amount of food I ate was diminishing, but I only lost 4 pounds in the first two weeks then 4 weeks went by and I lost nothing. It seems that I wasn't eating enough for my body to release the fat! After reading this book, 4 meals a day is helping the weight loss. I decided to track my points with the Weight Watchers to see what I was eating. I am eating beyond my 35 flex points per week - which equates to over 1600 calories a day!!!

Every woman should understand what's in this book.
I picked this book from my personal shelf a year after buying it. A year into a successful change of life which resulted in a new way of eating. What I discovered is that this book thorougly explains how to control fat by keeping fuel in the furnace. Biggest lesson to be learned: NEVER SKIP MEALS. You don't save calories, you pump up your body's natural fat storing activity. Great book with lots of practical advice. You need to read through it, though. It's worth the effort.
