Book Reviews of Weight Loss Kit for Dummies

Book Review: Overall a good resource
Summary: 4 Stars

Weight Loss Kit for Dummies is an overall good starting resource. The book covers a lot of ground. It doesn't get too technical and seems to be pretty update on what is going on. There a lot website references in the book to help learn more. The book covers fad diets, several of the commercial weight loss program like Jenny Craig and how they work, the high protein diet, the high fiber diet, and the high carb diet. There is also a pretty good section on nutrition. I do have to say that after following the advice in this book I am losing weight.
