review of Diet Enlightenment by Rachel L. Pires

I reviewed this book “Diet Enlightenment- The Real Secret to Weight Loss” by Rachel L. Pires. At first I thought it was going to be a book that is nothing but a repeat of any other book I have read on weight loss. In a way it was but in a much clearer format. I have read books that blabber on and on about how to lose weight and how fantastic you will feel if you just do this and this and this. I have done nearly every single diet she has mentioned, I even have the lap band, but I am still overweight. Rachel’s practical advice makes me look at losing weight much differently. I have counted calories in the past but I do believe that is where I need to start again. My problem is reaching my calorie goal for the day. IN hr book she introduced me to the Mifflin-St. Joer formula. I plan to put this in action for myself to see if it will work. I’m always game to try anything, and I think this time I will try harder to stick to it. I love the tools she provides for calculating your needs. Especially the Activity Calculator. That helps tremendously. I am looking forward to sitting down and creating a plan for me and my wife so we can both lose some weight.‪#‎DietEnlightenment‬
