Product Description
A science-based plan that brings together cutting-edge, university-tested weight-loss strategies with delicious, quick, and easy recipes.
"Almost everyone knows the truth: to lose the weight, we need to eat less and move more," says weight-managment pioneer Jean Harvey-Berino. "This book is about the missing link: how to do it."
Harvey-Berino believes that permanent weight loss only happens by changing everyday behaviors: replacing old, unhealthy habits with new ones. And clinical research proves her right: participants in her behaviorally based VTrim™ Weight Management Program lost an average of 21 pounds in 6 months—more than double that of an online commercial weight-loss program.
In a unique collaboration, The EatingWell Diet brings you the tools that helped "VTrimmers" succeed—including goal-setting, self-tracking, and controlling eating "triggers"—along with wisdom and recipes from the creative cooks and nutrition experts at the nation's premier magazine of food and health. More than just a sensible way to lose weight, it's a workbook for a healthy way of life. Full-color thoughout.

If you want to cook healthy and get your eating on track it's worth the purchase.
Great Book! poor binding November 7, 2009
Amazon Fanatic (Reno, NV)
The content of this book is excellent. The first few chapters take you through a healthy eating/exercise plan and the supporting reasons why your decisions are important. The last few chapters include an eating plan and many yummy recipes (ones that don't make you feel like you're missing out!). My only concern (and the reason for a 4 rating vs. a 5) with the book is the quality. The very thick glossy pages are not supported by the binding. As I began to read the book and pages started falling out. The binding meant to hold the pages in place is like a gummy notebook pad created to easily tear pages out. I had to punch holes in the pages and put them in a binder. Each page turn lead to another loose sheet :0(.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. I initially bought it for the recipes included but was very happy when I started reading it. The authors offer honest, straight-forward advice for safe and sustainable weight loss. The book doesn't promise you you'll lose 10 lbs in a week or 5 inches off your waist with no effort, but rather helps you set realistic, long and short-term goals.
The biggest piece of advice the book has to offer is to track your food and acivity in a diary. It really helped my hold myself accountable for my actions (or lack thereof). There are no "forbidden foods" or odd diet restrictions. This way of dieting just helps point you in the right direction.
This is the first type of diet I've tried where I truly think I can reach my goals and be very proud of myself along the way. I followed the book faithfully for 4 weeks and have managed to lose 12 lbs. I feel as though I've done it the right way and I'm very happy with how things are going.
Outstanding & Delicious diet plan July 9, 2009

I have been getting the Eating Well magazine for a few years, and I thoroughly enjoy the recipes and articles. I have read many wonderful reviews about this particular diet book; and needing to shed 25-30 pounds, I decided to buy it. I have not disappointed. The articles about healthy eating and the facts of dieting are great, very informative, and educational. There hasn't been one recipe that I have disliked yet. The nice thing is that most of the recipes use common items and aren't difficult to make. There are a few that call for an unusual ingredient; but if you like the recipes, you'll be making them again, making it worth the purchase of the more unusual items. I'm one who needs guidance when it comes to dieting; and for me the best feature of the book is the four-week diet plan, which details the days' menus from breakfast to dinner, including snacks. It's a healthy way to diet and encourages a life-changing eating pattern. I highly recommend this book for any potential or current dieters. :-D
P.S. In two months I've lost 18 of the 25+ lbs. I want to lose!

The Eating Well Diet Book really works. I've been following it for the last 3 weeks and have lost 6 pounds. Just following the simple rule of writing down whatever you eat is earth shattering. I would definitely recommend this book to someone interested in adopting a healthy eating habit without sacrificing great taste.
