Food by Susan Powter (1995, Hardcover)

I bought and read Food by Susan Powter. This book takes is easy to follow and takes the info you need to know and explains it so you can understand and use. Susan Powter real know how to relate to the issues and helps you to understand, because she has been there. I recommend this book to any one, even if you are already fit.

i like this seller and was curious about the book. susan powter inspires me. i am enjoying the book it is in great condition.

I love her witty way of writing. Her simple explanations, motivation and understanding about being fat and all that entails. If you've tried all the diets and find yourself still hungry and fat, read her books and start living again.

Very good book for losing weight. It got me motivated. Excellent recepies inside. I enjoyed it very much.

Years ago I read Susan's "Stop the Insanity" and actually lost a ton of weight on it because the whole concept made sense. "...you can eat one cheese enchilada or 143 cupa of brown rice." kind of thing. Yeah, I had to work through reading about her husband leaving and cheating on her with a different woman but I figured that Susan had to get her motivation from somewhere. This second book "Food" wasn't more than a continuation of her rant about being cheated on. (For Pete's sake Susan, you're remarried with another kid in your life---let it go already!) and outrage expressed against the meat and dairy agencies, along with the FDA for allowing the use of hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals on cattle and livestock to get them to grow faster, etc. Yeah, she definately has a point BUT where was she going with it? How can she help a middle class family find the best way to put organic "free range" chicken on the table that sells for two or three times as much as the frozen bag of chicken breasts that is washed in a preservative and individually frozen for your convenience and feeds family of four for a week? (Don't ya just hate it when people who have a lot more money that you try to tell YOU how to shop? Maybe they should have their chef or personal trainer write the book...oh wait, Oprah already did that, didn't she?) Susan tried to continue with the "cut to the chase" insight on to this book but it was a huge disappointment for me. Thirty minutes into the reading I started to skim the pages and finally dropped it off at the bookshelf on my way to the bathroom...doesn't even meet the "page through it when you're going potty" criteria for me.
