Book Reviews of American Heart Association No-Fad Diet: A Personal Plan for Healthy Weight Loss
Book Review: A very good resource
Summary: 4 Stars
My main objective in purchasing this book was to get me on tract with my cholesterol as well as drop about 10-15 pounds. The first thing I learned was that my portions were way out of line - I had no idea! I like the fact that it offers variations to follow in your diet plan as well as different calorie counts (1200; 1600; 2000) depending on your size & gender. This is no quick fix, but a lesson in how to change your eating habits. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that for me it used way too much refined sugar & flour products. Very few breakfast selections fall into the savory category, most were sweet. For someone who is used to eggs & bacon for breakfast, dried cherry fruit bread, fruit smoothies, & cereal just don't cut it!
I did lose weight - 4 lbs. in one month, but have not been able to keep it off. So, I am starting over. I will still use this book as it has the portion control, calorie count that I need, but I wish it had less refined sugar & flour products & more whole grain, savory options.

Summary of American Heart Association No-Fad Diet: A Personal Plan for Healthy Weight Loss
By now, you've heard of (and maybe tried) them all: the low-carb diet, the grapefruit diet, the miracle diet . . . the list goes on and on. Fad diets may promise a quick fix, but few deliver lasting results. If you're like millions of other Americans, you're still struggling to lose weight and get in shape-without harming your long-term health in the process.It's time to leave behind the one-size-fits-all approach to dieting. Now, the American Heart Association, the nation's most trusted authority on heart-healthy living, introduces its first-ever comprehensive weight-loss book. No-Fad Diet helps you create a personalized plan to lose weight in a healthful way. After a simple assessment of your current habits, you choose the eating and exercise strategies that best fit your needs. You'll learn how to set realistic goals, eat well to lose extra pounds safely, and add physical activity to keep the weight off for good.
This book offers more than 190 delicious, all-new recipes, including Cream of Triple-Mushroom Soup, Tilapia Cham-pignon, Chicken Pot Pie, Pumpkin-Cranberry Pancakes, and Vanilla Souffl? with Brandy-Plum Sauce. You'll also find two weeks of sample menus, guidelines for meal planning, useful tips on dining out and food shopping, and sound advice for staying on track to reach your target weight.
If you're fed up with fads and want a diet that can provide a lifetime of effective weight control, No-Fad Diet is the book for you.
Tired of losing weight and gaining it back?
Sick of fad diets and gimmicks?
Frustrated by crazy food restrictions?
Try the No-Fad Diet
What's the only effective way to lose weight and keep it off? It's simple: Calories in must be less than calories out. But since the factors that contribute to this not-so-magic formula are different for everyone, a one-size diet plan does not fit all.
The No-Fad Diet includes:
.Tips on turning negative thinking into positive rewards
.Simple quizzes to find the approach that's best for you
.Diary pages to record and monitor your eating and activity habits
.Strategies to reduce calories and increase your activity levels
.Guidelines to help you prepare your own nutritious meals
.More than 190 delicious and healthful recipes
.Techniques to maintain your momentum
The weight-loss strategies in this book are based on reliable scientific research and are backed by respected medical professionals. The American Heart Association has the information you can trust.
