Book Reviews of The Skinnygirl Rules: For Getting and Staying Naturally Thin
Book Review: tons of solid info that "sticks"
Summary: 5 Stars
As a weight loss coach who has enjoyed both of the author's books, I got a couple of these to give away in a drawing I do for my weight loss class participants. Of all the things I have given out (workout DVDs, cookbooks, healthy snacks, etc.) during the many drawings I have done, this got some of the best praise.
Let's face it, many of us have little time to read and sometimes we get so distracted while reading that not everything "sticks". It's been shown that those who attend counseling or group support for weight loss typically lose much more than those who don't. We grew up with verbal learning in school so it often stays with us longer than what we read...if it's well presented and solid info.
This is a combination of the author's past books, good habits, food for thought, culinary background, life skills. And I have to say, I agree that there are endless "AHA!" moments to motivate in each cd. And it's presented in a verbal learning format so the motivation may sink in deeper.
I personally didn't allow myself to listen unless I was on the elliptical getting healthy. It made me not think about the work out, but felt like a chat with a smart skinny friend (grin) based on the way it's presented by the author. This had the side effect of making me want to work out to finish hearing the advice.
Those who "won" my giveaway in the drawing both said they listened to it in the car...that is one way to spend some time doing something positive while stuck in crazy Austin traffic.
Negatives: Although I would change nothing about the advice or how it's presented...it's great and motivational...I wish there was a chapter list so you know what's next or how to get back to something. That may be nitpicky, but I hope she might add it on a website or include it in future cds. Although my books on cd don't always have this so I "get" the omission, this is a cd I want to refer back to rather than just enjoy once for my own motivation during times that it wanes so it would help recall. Her tips have weight and I use them personally and present them professionally so maybe that's just something I personally want.
Conclusion: I am pretty well-versed in weight loss and motivation AND healthy cooking but she is far better and can really light a fire under you to "make it happen" in a very casual, livable, and unintimidating way...worked for me.
