Easy-to-read, easy-to apply diet for life!

I'd Kill For A Cookie is a great book that deals with the everyday nuiances that cause us to eat incorrectly. It applies to people in all walks of life, from professionals, to families, to kids. I changed from the pancakes and syrup I was giving my kids to a protein packed breakfast so they would have more energy and concentration. I also quit eating so much protein late at night because that was the reason I was having trouble sleeping, and now I eat something with more carbohydrates in the evenings. This books shows how we can still eat all the foods we love, we may just have to eat them in moderation or eat them at a different time. When we are stressed, and we all are at some time or another whether we realize it or not, we tend to eat what is the easiest to grab, which is usually the wrong thing! Then we end up feeling worse and eat something else that is bad. This book shows how to manage our stress through proper nutrition. Once we begin to eat this stress-reducing way, we will be amazed, as I was--and still am--at how good we can really feel. This is truly not a diet, per say, but a way of eating for optimal mental health and physical health for your entire life. I am so glad I found this book! I think any person that reads I'd Kill For A Cookie would find it beneficial.

WHAT EVERY HARRIED & STRESSED PERSON HAS BEEN WAITING FOR!

If you feel like me--tired, stressed, harried--and react by eating sweets or chips, you have to get I'd Kill for a Cookie. Drs. Mitchell and Christie outdid themselves with this easy-to-read handbook; they certainly must have known how I react to stress--one cookie at a time until the WHOLE bag is gone. The EAT Plan they teach is not difficult to implement in one's daily lifestyle, and the good news is that it really works. I've already lost the nine pounds gained from the pressures of exams this year, and it was not painful. Following the EAT Plan, I still enjoyed a small bowl of my favorite Edie's Rocky Road Light Ice Cream each night! Yet more important that that, I have learned to monitor my commitments so that I don't take on more than I can handle. Not only does the EAT Plan work, but the lists of ways to break the stress-eating habit can help anyone who is indulging in the wrong way. If life's interruptions make you crave food, read this book! It will change the way you react to stress forever. This is a must-read! When is the next book coming out?!
