You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual For Waist Management
(Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz)
If anyone can, these two doctors do.
This book contains a lot of the same information you get with other healthy eating books, and more. The more includes reasons why your body acts the way it does, diagrams to show you what's going on inside, and extra helps for sticking to the healthy diet presented in the book, all written in a pretty entertaining fashion (though it can get a little wordy sometimes). And the diagrams remind me of Mad magazine cartoons, which add to the non-threatening, you- can- do -this attitude of the book.
There are recipes included that actually taste pretty good, and there is an exercise plan included that doesn't require any extra weights or equipment, just your own body. The exercise plan begins with walking 30 minutes a day. Then, the authors add on to that a small amount of exercises to do the rest of the week. It doesn't require life changing committments, just some adjustments.
The best part of this book, for me, is that after reading it, I feel very kindly towards my hard working body. I want to take care of it, sort of like a friend. That may be the best incentive I've ever had to eat healthfully and exercise. Instead of being angry with my growing waist, I'm feeling a little protective of it. Any book that can encourage those feelings deserves 5 stars
