Last Diet Book Standing - Simple Nutrition For Life

The Last Diet Book Standing is a nutritional guidebook written by author, mother, and "recovering junk-food junkie" Kerry McLeod.

In any bookshop you can find diet book after diet book written by (often 'tunnel-visioned') doctors. This book is different - it's about real answers from a real person like you or me. Someone who loved their junk food, someone who tried various fad diets, and someone who shops at an everyday supermarket.

This book is good - very good.

Real Answers Without The Fluff!

Many diet books today are filled with lots of words, but often deprived of great insight. A lot like processed food - filled with lots of calories but deprived of good nutrients.

The Last Diet Book Standing is written in a very easy-to-read style. No wading through personal diatribes or professional waffle. Kerry McLeod provides some simple answers to causes of obesity and poor health. She clearly explains where most of us went wrong, and how we can change it.

The author has realized that long-term health and weight loss is about understanding nutrition and understanding yourself. She provides an excellent insight called the "nutrition makeover" - showing you how you can take the things you like, and improve on them.

No supplements, no gimmicks, no false expectations. Lots of humor, and lots of facts.

The 7 Habits of Highly Healthy Women

The book is aimed primarily at women (but is useful for anyone!). At the core is what the author calls the 7 habits of highly healthy women. These are simple steps you can use to turn your life around.

• Habit #1: Highly Healthy Women make health, nutrition, and weight
  management a priority.
• Habit #2: Highly Healthy Women have a game plan for success that
  includes planning and tracking their meals.
• Habit #3: Highly Healthy Women make wise food choices every day.
• Habit #4: Highly Healthy Women eat 5 to 6 mini-meals per day.
• Habit #5: Highly Healthy Women practice safe portion control.
• Habit #6: Highly Healthy Women drink 8 cups of water per day.
• Habit #7: Highly Healthy Women exercise consistently.
