Information
Did you know that
we all make “food friends”? Some of our “food friends” are good for us and
others are not the best choice. The Food Is My Friend Diet teaches
readers how to make “good food friends,” such as fruits and vegetables, and curb
emotional eating by developing new ways of coping. This book is full of
science-based guidelines for weight control and physical activity, written in a
fun and interactive tone.
The Food Is My
Friend Diet is a perfect combination of healthy lifestyle counseling and
comic relief, with the help of comedian Jackie Fabulous. Jackie provides a
unique perspective on the program and shares her experiences that the reader can
relate to on an individual level. The Food Is My Friend Diet takes the
reader on a 30-day journey through 30 educational and inspiring chapters. Each
chapter ends with a “check-in” tool, where Ruth summarizes the chapter and
encourages the reader to take action by setting a goal.
This book is a
must-have for anyone looking for a real-life solution to weight
management.
