The truth is, in recent years I hadn't been feeling asgood about my body as I used to-and for good reason. Over a period offifteen years, I'd put on twenty-two percent of my original bodyweight-going from 115 to 140 pounds.When I realized that, I knew Ihad to make a change in my lifestyle...I knew that what I needed was away to get a calorie-controlled, nutritionally balanced diet everyday, and I knew myself well enough to know that following it better beeasy.

For Lauren Hutton, the lifestyle change she needed was one thatmillions of Americans are making every day. As a woman entering middleage, she was alarmed at the changes in her body-and in her energylevel.She needed to find a way to lose the extra pounds, to eathealthy while on the run, to get herself back in shape and startfeeling great again. What she discovered was the plan she outlines inthis revolutionary book: a simple, easy-to-follow, scientificallyproven weight-loss program that has already helped people around theworld remake their bodies and change their lives.

Now, for the first time, Lauren has joined forces with the Slim Fastnutritional team to show you how to give yourself the makeover you'vealways wanted. Blending sound science with a commonsense approach tochanging your habits, The Slim-Fast Body-Mind-Life Makeovershows how eating right and getting fit can improve your lifeforever. With a 14-Day Plan to get you started, over 75 recipes, tipson entertaining, and a daily planner, you'll find it's easier thanever to lose weight-and feel terrific.Amazon.com Review
The biggest problem with The Slim-Fast Body-Mind-LifeMakeover is that the plan is based on substituting Slim-Fastshakes and bars for some regular meals. Two shakes a day may help meltthe pounds away, but the strategies are likely to leave many dietersfeeling hungry and deprived, especially over the long run.

Otherthan pushing Slim-Fast products, the nutrition, exercise, andmotivational advice found in these 350-plus pages is prettysound. Written by a team of nutritionists and actress-model LaurenHutton, the book includes a 14-day, 1,400- to 1,500-calorie meal plan,inspirational quotes, exercise strategies, recipes, and plenty ofspace to record your weight, rate your hunger, and write down yourfeelings. There's also a chapter devoted to nutrition basics, anotherchapter on exercise and relaxation, plus plenty of Slim-Fast successstories to keep you going when the thought of drinking yet anothershake makes you gag.

If your idea of dieting is downing Slim-Fastshakes, snack bars, and meal bars, than you're going to love thisbook. If, on the other hand, you'd prefer a weight-loss plan thatemphasizes real food, you'll be better off with one of the great newdiet books based on low-calorie, low-fat, high-fiber eating such asThe PritikinPrinciple. --Ellen Albertson ...

Not Worth It
Most of this product was just advertising for slim fast. Also it says in the product about must do excercises. Not all excercises must be done. I find there were few helpful tips about losing weight, mostly about losing it with slim fast. It is too general. A good weight cassette or book would really explain details about weight loss and health. Like show in clear details about excercies for beginners and how to progress to a healthy person for each individual. A good book/cassette would talk about tips and explain them fully and would not refer/advertise a perticular product. It did have good points like tips for motivating yourself. When I tried slim fast, it left me still hungry after I drank one slowly. Over all, if you are looking for a weight loss book/cassette and you like slim fast. This would be an ok(not great) cassette. If you do not like slim fast, keep on looking.

This is a great book!!!
It has really helped me along on the Slim Fast plan.It gives lots oftips on eating, exercise, and relaxation, all keys to losing weight.Italso gives lots of recipes so you can eat like a "normal" person. I highly recommend both the book and the Slim Fast plan!!!

Too much book
I was quite disappointed at the size of this book when it arrived in the mail.I was hoping that I would be able to carry the food diary with me back and forth to work.Unfortunatly, I couldn't do that.It would benice if the diary came separately in a paperback or spiral bound form.

Good enough
The information about the actual Slim Fast plan can be found on the website for free however, the recipe and relaxation sections along with the personal makeover diary at the back of the book makes this a good read.

Motivating and Inspirational!
I read this book in two days.It really gives you lots of good weight loss tips and ideas. Helps you see the plan as a lifestyle where you can keep the weight off. Recipes, vegetarian included, with emphasis on fruits,vegetables and salads.Thebefore and after stories are phenomenal! ... Read more
