Product Description
The Diet Directives program for weight loss teaches you how to shrink your stomach so that overeating is no longer an issue. This book emphasizes quality over quantity without resorting to draconian dietary measures. Most dieters are already experts when it comes to the issues, and are only looking for the program that makes sense to them - common sense. This book will lead you back to what you know makes sense for your body and your head.

 Not even a "junk food lovers" diet January 18, 2005

It is very difficult to get adequate nutrients on less than 1200 calories per day. Especially when the eating plan is as pathetic as this is. Not enough fiber calcium or vitamin B as some example. Just another fad diet

After being on the lowfat, low-carb, zone diets of the last decade I am forced to admit that my grandmother was right all along. Moderation in all things was her motto and she died a very active 82 year old.
This book is deceptively simple. We have been deceived by the food police into thinking that eating should be complicated. Americans tend to have an "all or nothing approach to eating". But when you look at other cultures (the Europeans for instance)they eat what they want but in moderation.
I began eating this way in November and I have gone from a size 14 to a 10. I don't feel deprived or obsess about what I would love to eat but can't have. I feel like I have been freed.
Update - I bought my first pair of size 8 jeans in 12 years last week!
 finally! December 13, 2001

This is a rational way to diet. It works, it is easy to follow, it doesn't cut out entire food groups (and honestly, how could that be good for you?). I disagree that the bite-counting encourages eating disorders. The meal plans are satisfying, versatile, and have helped me lose a few pounds already.

I disagree with the previous reviews in the respect that this diet will cause more of a disorder. Yes, you are to count your bites, but that is only until you have trained yourself to eat small amounts. I have been on this diet for 10 days. I did weigh myself and lost 7 lbs. The thing is, is that I am not hungry and I don't obsess about food as much. I eat quality not quanity amounts foods. I would highly recommend that you try this diet or more correctly a new way of thinking about food, less is more.

I read the book and thought that it was kind of silly at first, but none the less, I tried it. The author is absolutely right that portions in restraunts are enormous. For someone who doesn't want to count calories or fat grams, this is a simple portion control diet. I am also a Pilates instructor and thought this would deal more with the Pilates method than strictly eating and was disappointed by that.
