I got two of these books based on previous reviews. I also got the entire Eat This Not That book series (very good). The Diet Detective is like a novel and there is really nothing to keep you interested in coming back. To be fair, I haven’t even read the book to give a precise review but the fact that I haven’t read it should give you an idea how uninteresting it is. I would have returned them both but by the time I paid for shipping it would have been a waste. I found this true on another item that I ordered. So I am just thankful that I got free shipping on delivery on a few things this holiday season.
Way to go. I learned about this book in class the other day — someone brought it in and it is really really thick and useful! Loved it!!!
Some of this was simply a great refresher…and some of it was surprise…surprise…surprise!!! Worthwhile to be sure.
The book reads like a text book. It has good information, but I feel like it needs a professor to go along with it to explain the daily application. The book is good if you have time to go through each chapter line by line. If you’re busy, on the go, and are just trying to learn the information quickly – for quick application, this is NOT the book for you!!
I thought this book would help me make good food choices but I thought the alternatives listed were quite limited. I felt more like I couldn’t eat anything rather than I could eat smart. I know there are smart Mexican food choices but this author didn’t seem aware of any. I did, however, find sugar free fudgesicles so I think the book paid off in that regard.
