Customer Reviews

Finally, a useful diet book.

I've played the yo-yo diet game and experienced the short term benefits. Now, for the first time, I feel validated about my eating and dieting styles, which has helped me lose 10 lbs just since the book came out. Not only was I able to see myself in the different styles, but I felt like someone else understood me too. The book was encouraging rather than admonishing. I came away with great alternatives for what to eat when my love for food or grazing habits take over. Heather, Mary and Dr Redard rock. My own copy of the book is already dog eared, and I've purchased many copies for friends because it's a great read whether you have a food issue or not.

Diet delight!

Finally a book that recognizes the need to tailor the strategy/approach to losing weight in the exact same way that one would tailor communication to each specific personality type. Every body is unique! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has struggled in the past with a one-size-fits-all diet approach and is looking for sustainable, long term results.

Finally! A fun way to think of a diet!

This concept is fresh and fun and makes it far more likely to keep me interested in reaching the goal! It makes it about how I deal with food and not about the food itself.

What a great eye-opener on dieting!

Being in the fitness field for years, I was a little apprehensive to study another "diet book," but What's Your Diet Type? goes against the conventional method that it's just about "food." It isn't. It is truly about your "type of personality." When you read through this book, not only does it give you great insights to dieting, it speaks to you directly-- it's fun, informative, and self-realizing. Going beyond the simple "diet" approach, this book goes in depth about how and why we struggle with food. It's the foundation to living a healthy and balanced lifestyle to fit your own personal style!
