From AudioFile
Upbeat writing and a reading by the vivacious Eliza Foss will make listeners pay close attention to this well-conceived plan for staying slim. The author's healthy eating plan starts off aggressively to get immediate results and then becomes more flexible as portion control and selecting better foods become wired into our hard drives. The initial stages are also designed to help people avoid temptations while new habits are forming. Eliza Foss is delightful as coach and teacher. She makes broccoli, beans, and fruit juice sound like what cool people eat. With detailed advice and menus that don't bog down the positive message, this engaging audio offers hope and possibility in every minute.

Customer Reviews

The best meal planning book ever!
I have been a Nurse Practitioner and Diabetes Educator for over 30 years. There have been many meal planning books brought to my attention over that time but this is the first one that I really feel comfortable recommending to everyone! The author not only makes it simple to learn how to eat healthier, but she also provides all the tools to do so in a simple to understand format. In spite of my profession, I don't like to cook. Even I now look forward to shopping, chopping and watch my inept cooking skills turn out a beautiful and healhtful meal! Thanks Connie Gutterson for writing The Senoma Diet. It is the "diet" we all need...a complete change in choices about what we eat with instructions on how to accomplish those changes. Anyone can achieve their health goals by following Dr. Guttersen's recommendations. We truely are what we eat when it comes to our health. This "diet" can help reverse our current epidemics of diabetes and obesity!

GREAT BOOK
