by Chantel Hobbs
I chose to read this book as one who does not necessarily need to diet, looking instead at the book as a whole on it's intended audience and effectiveness in approach and reading style as I have friends I would be able to recommend the book to should it pass my test.
Chantel Hobbs approaches the idea of dieting one day at at time, breaking down the often insurmountable task into little pieces. By setting oneself up for daily success, focusing only on the day at hand, not weeks ahead or behind, the dieter can begin to break down old habits and form new, healthier habits to replace them. Spinning in her ten commandments of dieting, Hobbs puts a spiritual spin on the idea of losing weight. She approaches the topic in a serious yet easy to read and non-judgmental way that invites readers to consider this approach and give it a try.
Like most diet books, this book does of course push the ideas of exercise, healthy eating and lifestyle change. It is not a quick fix plan nor is it a guarantee... it is up to the inidividual to make the plan successful for them. After having read the book, I am comfortable in passing it on to friends who are looking for ways to help with their weight struggle. I appreicate the spiritual aspect to this book and feel it an appropriate, well written approach to helping those who wish to change their weight by doing so one day at a time and trusting in God to help.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated for writing this review.
