One of the better at home weight control / staying fit books I have found. Clear in explanation with helpful examples and different worksheets to help with goals. I was more interested in an at home routine, as going to a gym would be difficult, not so much for losing weight just for staying healthy. I felt this book could help in both ways whatever persons individual needs are. In addition, there are a lot of great-sounding recipes. Although this was a library find for me and as such had to be returned, it is one I will look for at my local bookstore so that it can be used. ( )
