Written by a "dieting pro," this fun and savvy book gives readers the inside scoop on dieting.
Friendly, reassuring, inspiring, funny and loaded with personal anecdotes, The Incredible Shrinking Woman bravely goes where diet books rarely go. Ann Douglas discusses Diet Eve (a trip to the drive-thru for one last hurrah), why low-fat products can sabotage your diet success, and why your "ideal weight" might not be the right weight for you. She dishes the dirt on diet fads (shes tried them all) identifies the diets that can lead to serious health problems, and offers up a recipe for successful dieting.
Next, she blows the lid off exercise fads, explaining how and why many are designed to fail, and then details how you can succeed with your own routine.
Also inside:
The importance of having a game plan for weight loss
The joy of having a weight-loss buddy
The first week survival guide
The perils of weighing in
The five biggest motivation zappers, and what you can do to avoid them
The morning after: cheating, forgiving yourself, and moving on
The joys and perils of success and how not to let success derail you

This book is incredibly well written; it's like chatting with an old friend. It's a great book to read when your diet and exercise plans are losing their novelty. Once I got past the addictivve writing though,I did have one problem: this book seems to be aimed more at women who have a significant amount of wieght to lose, and not those of us who are just working on those last ten pounds or so. From the advice given, one would get the impression that this book is written for women who never get up and who eat nothing but chocolate and cakes all day. What about the rest of us?
What a hoot! This book is exactly what I needed... puts things in perspective and guides you through the ups and downs of dieting.
I felt like Ann Douglas was a true girlfriend at the end of the book. I was motivated and lost 50 pounds... and that was a terrific thing. The book went with me everywhere.... it's perfect to read on the stationary bike! Everyone at the gym asked me about it, and I am sure the sales went up just from my testimonials. I give it to my girlfriends and they love it for the information, but they love the humour too.
It's not a typical "diet" book, which is so refreshing in this day and age!
