Summary: Sound principles for Weight Loss
Review: Dr. Gavin's principles for weight loss are sound and effective. As a previous reviewer stated, yes, Dr. Gavin eats nonfat plain yogurt and string cheese for lunch everyday. Additionally, his recommended diet is healthy. If you research the National Weight Control Registry or simply read Anne Fletcher's Thin for Life, you will discover that weight maintainers know exactly what they are eating. You must control the food, not let the food control you. Weight loss takes works and commitment. You cannot always eat what you want and be slim and healthy. I, myself, eat like this:


Weight Loss

Breakfast - 2 slices of peanut butter toast
Lunch - a lean meat sandwich and 1/2 cup low-fat chili or 8 oz. fruit
Dinner - 1 cup nonfat yogurt

Maintenance

The above plus a Zone or Balance Bar and one glass of red wine per day.

I weight train 3 - 4X week and run 5-6 times a week. I'm 5'4", and even with all of this exercise, I cannot eat much. The truth is, unless you have an abnormally high metabolism, are a hardcore bodybuilder, or do heavy manual labor daily, you probably don't need as many calories as you have been told. Nutrition is a complicated science, full of theories and unproved ideas. You have to find what works. One thing for sure, the USDA Pyramid is a fattening feedlot pyramid.

Summary: This guy eats yogurt and string cheese for lunch--EVERY DAY!
Review: No kind of life.
If you want a real solution, try Geneen Roth.
Try "How Much Does Your Soul Weigh?"
If you're into suffering, buy a hair shirt.
I seldom throw away a book--donate them to the library instead.
I was afraid someone would READ this one, and believe it. It's in the trash.
