Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. This book is very contradictory. The opening chapters are devoted to explaining how it is unnecessary to go completely vegetarian, how it is very easy to start this life style change one step at a time and says that you can still enjoy the treats you like. Unfortunately the book does seem to push a vegetarian style of life, does not explain how to institute this life style change one step at a time, and pushes not eating cake, cookies or other desserty type non fruit sweets. There is also some confusing conflicting advice, on one page the author offers the reader the advice of only sharing sweets such as cake and cookies in social situations. Two pages later, she tells the reader not to eat sweets at work (i.e. sweets in the office with coworkers), I can only assume something else was meant than what I interpreted, because we only have sweets at work for social situations (birthdays, showers and holidays). On the plus side many of the recipes provided did sound yummy and recipes were offered in portions appropriate for one person (something I feel not enough cookbooks offer.)

Pages 12-13 have a quick quiz to determine where you are on the flexscore. What does that mean? If you score well it means you already know how to eat healthy and eat a variety of the healthy foods and know how to include fitness activities in your life. If you score low, it means you will enjoy the book and gradually make slow changes in your life to have a better lifestyle. (how true that is depends on the individual I suppose.)
There's a pop quiz on pages 40-41. How many fruits and vegetables have you eaten in the past month? If you're not a big fan of fruits and veggies, there's a url included http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/main-recipes
There are fun fact stack, craving control and time cruch snippets of information spread out in the book. The one on page 60 contradicts something else in the book about eating 3-4-5 (on page 76) eat 300 calories in the morning, 400 at lunch and dinner is 500 calories. But the fact stack says when we eat 70 percent of our calories in the early part of the day, we can lose 1.5 pounds more in six weeks, than those who eat most of their calories in the evening.
There are recipes in the book to help get people on track, but some include cheese or yogurt and some include agave. Now again, for the typical American eater, these recipes would be a great start. Chapter 4 is also good for anyone who has excuses on why they cannot exercise.
I like page 242 For any weight-loss or healthy-living plan to work long-term, exercise is essential. It's nonnegotiable.
30 minutes of activity most days of the week helps prevent diseases without much impact on weight. Sixty minutes most days prevents disease and helps keep your weight stable. Ninety minutes most days leads to disease prevention and weight loss. ( )
