I was hoping by reading this book I would make better food choices and magically lose weight. This has not happened yet, but I did learn some interesting things and am trying to incorporate them into my lifestyle. 1. Drinking more water 2. Eating more fruits and vegetables 3. I plan to try edamame (fresh soybean) 4. Eating more whole grains 5. Thinking about cooking fish for dinner once in awhile (baby steps).
I liked this book because it was not extreme in any area and just gave good researched backed information. It had some recipes at the end, but I probably won't try them because this book has got to back to the library.
I thought this was for women who strength train but it definitely is not. physically active/athletes = moar cardio and the math on the protien doesn't make sense.
