Book Reviews of The Take-Control Diet
Book Review: Fact-filled, plus common sense
Summary: 4 Stars
First, reading some of the other reviews, some people are reviewing the wrong book. Any review referring to "phases" should be completely discounted because it is a review of Dr. Smith's Fat Smash book.
Second, Dr. Smith isn't just some guy on tv, he's a Harvard and Columbia grad. Not too shabby.
But to the book...this was the first "diet" book I read that really made sense for me. This isn't a crash diet, you'll lose a moderate amount of weight by making simple changes. He really spoke to, as the title says, taking control of your life. You can't lose weight just by hoping or wanting it bad enough. You have to work at it.
The book has lengthy, but useful, exercises to find out things like your current level of consumption and activity. It is basic, yet teaches a lot of things that really need to be known to have a healthy weight loss plan. I've been on a lot of plans, read a lot of books, but never had it broken down for me in such a way that a) it made a lot of sense, b) didn't talk to me like I was a simpleton, and c) made it seem doable and not extreme.
Exactly what I needed.
