The Tortoise Diet - Win The Race To Lose! (Paperback) Review

Here is a collection of life-changing ideas that alter your eating habits forever. You get a series of training assignments, such as eating more fiber, jotting notes in a notebook (it's surprising if you do this; how many meals last week did you grab in the car because you were rushed? And were they salads and water and a small burger or were they double-quarter-pounders with extra fries?) How much do you really drink? Is it one glass of wine (a small one?) or is it two big beakers a night? These things add up.

Some of the habits are really helpful, not only to dieters but to the poor eater; case in point, eating protein along with carbohydrates at each meal. I know someone who is skinny and always hungry. A hardboiled egg or a slice or two of meat with a starchy snack replaced his endless empty munching of cookies.

In the appendix are meal plans graded by how many calories. Not everyone should be eating 1100 calories a day, so it helps to know what constitutes a 525 calorie meal, for example. Here's a 550 Calorie meal:

275 Calorie serving of whole grain, high fiber cereal, 8 ounces non-fat milk, 1 slice whole grain toast, 1 tbs no sugar all fruit jam spread, one orange.

Interesting; this meal is very high in fiber, and it isn't particularly low in calories (300 and under.)

The author also gives hints on taming the craving monster, if you want something creamy (no-sugar pudding versus fatty ice cream, crunch--carrots or peapods versus chips.)

Finally, there are charts for progress and a discussion of alternative methods like pills, surgery and liquid diets, with their pros and (mostly) cons.

This is probably the most complete eating book I've ever read. You might never need another. Big thumbs up here to Pat Church.
