The Paleo.
The Zone. The Gluten-free. Another day, another diet. We’re caught in a never-ending merry-go-round
of weight loss plans, fueled by celebrity endorsers, TV doctors and companies
angling for a piece of a $60 billion industry.
But do these diets really work?
And how healthy are they?
Registered Dietitian Lisa Tillinger
Johansen examines dozens of the most wildly popular diets based on medical
facts, not hype. And along the way, she
reveals tried-and-true weight loss strategies, relying on her years of hospital
experience, weight-loss seminars and community outreach efforts. With insight and humor, Stop The Diet, I
Want To Get Off shows that the best answer is often not a trendy
celebrity-endorsed diet, but easy-to-follow guidelines that are best for our
health and our waistlines.

The idea
for this book began at a wedding.
Who
doesn’t love a good wedding? The clothes, the flowers, the romance, the food…
Ah, the
food. As we moved into the banquet hall, the culinary feast was on everyone’s
minds. It was all anyone seemed talk about. But for some reason, guests weren’t
conversing about the dishes being served; they were swapping stories of diets
they had heard about from friends, magazine articles, even celebrities on talk
shows.
I’m a
registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutritional science and years of
clinical and health education experience. I’ve counseled thousands of patients
and clients on all of these diets. But hearing the guests only momentarily
distracted me from my horrible faux pas of wearing white (gasp!) to a friend’s
wedding.
This is the kind of book that everyone can understand and follow. It shows the reader that losing weight is all common sense and not fad diets. We must eat to give our bodies the nutrition it needs, but we also must stay as healthy as we can while we are dieting. As other diets are looked at we find out what is actually good and or bad about them. This is a great book for anyone who really wants to be healthy and lose weight. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are mine.
