CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Rhonda Seifert: "Provided me with practical information I can pass on to my clients. Confirmed what I already am doing in my practice."

Linda Wollerton: "I liked the common sense approach to weight loss. Not a rigid plan with no wiggle room!"

Barbara Petty: "I really liked the overall perspective of this book which I see as arranging your life to be most successful on this diet. I have taken his message about the comparatively short amount of time it takes to log foods versus the time it takes to exercise."
