Helpful Score: 3

This book is great, and really helped me understand why I was working out like a madwoman and eating "like I should" (ha!) and not only NOT losing weight, but GAINING it too! In the week that I've started eating per Dr. Schwarzbein's plan, I have lost 4 lbs... that's without even trying, and even better, I have been completely satiated at each meal, my cravings for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups have disappeared, and I even have noticed that I no longer wolf my food down... I savor it! This is some good food, folks!

I'd like to disagree with the reviewer that said they don't have time to grow their own food, investigate, or bake their bread. Dr. Schwarzbein advocates eating organic and free-range when you can, and that you should read labels, etc., but she doesn't say that you HAVE to do it "this" way or "that" way. The recipies do take longer to prepare, simply because not everything comes out of a box, but I'm not sitting around waiting for my vegetables to grow either. It all comes down to priorities. I highly recommend this series of books!
