My family has enjoyed learning about how the food we eat affects us, mind you there is some repetitive discussion as you read, but the principles are simple and easy. We all agree with the fruit for breakfast plan, because its easy and because you can eat as much of it as you want (without overdoing it), you don't go hungry. Lunch feels light, and so does dinner. (We are hispanic so its been fun following the recipes in the book to learn a "different" way of cooking). I just like that fact that its not some crazy diet, it's just a healthier way of eating that's easy to remember.
