A biography, not a diet book
Unfortunately I returned this book. There are no actual diet, recipe, or menu ideas anywhere in it. It is mainly a book of weight loss success stories and motivationals with very repetitive prose. When diet modification are mentioned, it’s essentially Atkins adding carrots, less cheese, and drinking a bunch of water. There isn’t a meal plan anywhere, and while it promotes constant metricizing of food (weigh it all and record it), there is no guidance on exactly how much to eat of anything. Definitely not a cookbook.
