The Supermarket Diet Kindle Edition

My husband and I travel a lot in a RV. This is an easy diet to follow as there is little clean up and not a lot of ingredients to buy. The diet is well rounded and satisfying. My husband was happy on it. (That's worth the price of the book) Also, Good Housekeeping has a great web site for support and ideas. It even has a version of this diet called "Convenience Food Diet". All frozen and prepared food lists. I don't want to think about cooking and menus when I diet. This diet is a no brainer!

It seems like a weird think to say, but I enjoyed this diet book. It's a practical, every day approach to dieting that anyone can do.

well I was hopeful that with the Good Housekeeping label it would have some good info.. but sorry NO..... No specifics about what to buy just very general categories and LOTS of prep work. All of that I could have found on the Internet for free. If you got this info in the magazine it would be fine but to waste money on a book, is not a wise investment in my opinion ..Sorry Good Housekeeping I was expecting more from you.

I have sent 2 emails asking where my order is. Tomorrow will be one month and I still do not have it NOR have they replied to either of my emails. Very disappointed in the customer service I have gotten.

It is time I write a review for this book. I weighed about 150 when I was in my early twenties. in my mid twenties to early thirties, I went up to 235. I wanted to lose weight for a long time, but didn't really know how.This book starts by explaining the simple scientific truth: If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. The trick is to eat the right foods in the right amounts so you can do that and stay full enough to stay on a diet long enough to lose the weight you want.My girlfriend and I started by using their recipes only. We used the meals in the supermarket cookbook, because it had pictures (I prefer cookbooks with pictures), and the meals were EXCELLENT. There was no reason they shouldn't be, they were steak, pastas, etc., using normal foods from the grocery store.After about three weeks, we switched to just using the nutrition guidelines, but using what we had learned in the recipes/meals... high fiber, whole grains, etc.The first few weeks were difficult... not because of hunger, but simply because we had to change a lot of habits... cook more, plan ahead, keep a journal of calories. But here is the fantastic thing: After those few weeks, when our habits had changed, we didn't notice we were on a diet at all! I was eating better and with more variety than I had been pre-diet, and I wasn't hungry. My girlfriend stuck to 1500 calories a day, me to 1800, as the book recommended. And these are skill I now have for life... I know how to eat healthily, and I can adjust my calorie intake and weight as needed, without pain. I am back to 165 and still dropping.Of course, it wasn't the book alone. I had to make weight loss a priority. But honestly, one of the most difficult lessons I had to learn was that pain did NOT equal gain (or loss in this case). The weirdest thing was feeling like I was doing nothing, and reminding myself that I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be. Every month, I would drop 12 pounds. I exercised too, but only in ways I enjoyed (they talk about sensible exercise as well). Mostly hiking up a hill near my house.So, I obviously highly recommend this book! Oh, and my girlfriend lost 25, and is still going as well!

This is an excellent work on the dynamics of weight control.The authors ask that we review reasons for overweight conditions;namely, genetic disposition and lack of qualityexercise. For instance, there is a suggestion that we canoutsmart our genetics with proper eating and frequent exercise.The program begins with a 2 week 1200/ calories per dayboot camp regimen. Then up to 1500 calories per day is allowed.When the weight goal is reached, 1800 calories per day areallowed.The preferred shopping list should include the following:- beans, nuts, omega 3 fish oil foods- frozen broccoli- tortillas- veggie burgers- fat free 1% milk- cereals with < 5gm. of sugarLastly, the author suggests that we formulate shopping listsand utilize them with little or no deviation. The work wouldbe helpful in crafting a meaningful diet regimen.

I have never written a review about anything, but I love this diet so much that I wanted to share it with others. I trully love this diet and I have REALLY tried them all. I have never lasted more than a week on a diet until now. I don't feel food deprived, hungry, moody, my energy is slowly returning and I'm still in the early stages of the diet (first two weeks), and I have already lost a few pounds too. The book is well written, easy to understand, and most importantly easy to follow. The author makes it all so simple. You are provided a shopping list broken down into catagories which makes your store visit quick. The diet is presented a week at a glance, with menus and recipes - it is so organized!!! This diet is superb for those like myself who are super busy, don't like to really cook, and like to grab things to eat quickly. The recipes are so simple to make and quick - less than 20 minutes! If you make a recipe for dinner, you eat it the next day for lunch so there is little waste and there is plenty to share with others even after you take your portions. Since the author teaches you the basics to eating healthy, and shopping healthy, it is a life style change that is longterm. I trully am very pleased with this book and so glad that I purchased it. Good luck!
