And it really isn't about following a set diet as that is not her approach. It's more about knowing when enough food is enough and thinking of other things beside food.I read the chapter headings first. They will give you a good idea of her wonderful sense of humor. I am this very minute burning the diet articles I've collected over the years as she suggests, but am doing it in the fireplace, which is already dirty, instead of the bathtub, which isn't.Her stories of crash dieting and the harm she caused her body should be a warning to everyone to avoid any of those crazy diets that make the rounds.A great book for sharing, but I'd be afraid to loan it to anyone. Think I might not get it back!
