Easy and non complicated

This is the best weight loss book there is essentially because Joy teaches you to eat right without all the sacrifice. I was very upset with my weight and saw her on a morning tv show. I got the book and read it and thought why not? Within a week I had lost 8 pounds, within three months I had lost 30 pounds and have not gained it back now 6 months later. You take the lessons she teaches you and it becomes second nature. And with her Fun Foods, you don't feel deprived , you just feel healthier and much lighter. If you want to lose weight, you need this book!!!

Success at last!

All I can say is that I've lost more than 25 lbs since I started on this plan 3 months ago! Honestly, I don't exactly follow the plan anymore, but following it religiously for about a month was enough to make me realize that I have choices. It's really all about portion control and watching calories, but I had to follow the plan to learn what an appropriate portion size was. I still refer to the book every now and then for ideas when I'm in a rut. This is not a diet, it's a lifetime eating plan.

FINALLY!

Finally, a diet that is not really a diet! These are the eating habits I have encompassed all along which have helped me to lose 30 pounds. It is basically the Food Pyramid in disguise! It's refreshing, in a world full of books by "doctors" who tell you to eliminate whole food groups! The 90/10 plan is what I would like to call an "undiet!" Bravo!

Great way to lose weight

I can't begin to tell you what a Godsend Joy Bauer's 90/10 Weight-Loss has been for me. Before I found the 90/10 plan I painfully struggled to lose 30 pounds I gained from being laid up with a knee injury two years ago. I was failing with all of the ways I had kept pounds off in my 20's like trying to eat low to no fat, or eliminating carbs, or avoiding desserts (one of my reasons for living) altogether. During the past two years I would stay on these diets for several weeks but my pants still remained a cruel reminder of all those hot fudge sundaes I porked down while on crutches. I felt like garbage and had zero energy. I was back in the eighth grade again-a miserable time when I was a really fat kid and hated the way I looked.Today all of my clothes fit, I have lots of energy, and I haven't felt this good about how I look in a very long time. The thing that has surprised me the most is how easy it's been. I haven't gnawed the edge of my desk from hunger or been angry that I couldn't have a cookie. I haven't spent my free time consumed with trying to figure out a complicated eating plan, and best of all I haven't been bored. In fact, I feel less like I've been on a diet and more like I've just changed the way I approach eating. Old habits have given way to a better lifestyle. I highly recommend this book.
