Reviews / Votes
Amazon review for the previous edition: Gem Dieting'This book covers a very wide range of topics for such a small volume. It doesn't skip basic things that you need to know, and it goes into a surprising amount of depth (eg on the value and practicality of different forms of exercise). I particularly liked the way that the author gives you the main point of a very wide range of dieting theories and then allows you to choose your own preference - very different from the 'My way is the only way' approach of many diet books.'
