Your Perfect Weight gives you a 52 week planner for your weight loss. Alot of questions that I never thought to ask are answered in this book. It gives charts that are easy to read, examples of how to plan your food each day, and motivative ideas for when you are in the middle of a plateau and not lossing weight. It gives examples of how to change your exercise routine when you get bored, and meal plans for when you are bored of the same foods.

Summary: With an RD's Stamp of Approval
Living with a registered dietitian, this book has been an invaluable resource. Whenever a debate breaks out about how many grams of fat are in half an avocado, or how many grams of fiber an apple has, you can go to this bible and resolve it instantly. This is literally the book I open up most in my library.

Summary: Best Nutrition Guide I've Found!
I own several books on nutrition (both the 'advice' type and the 'what's in your food' type) and found that this is the absolute best on the market in the 'what's in your food' category.

This book gives the nutritional breakdown of every food you can imagine, from the very basic to the truly exotic. The chart for each food is simple to read, and for each item there's advice on preparation, best ways to keep the nutrition content high, comparisons to similar foods, etc.

The book also has an easy-to-use key to let you quickly flip through the whole thing to find foods that are good for weight loss, those that help lower cholesterol, those that are blood-building, those with high fiber content, etc. A great bonus: there is an index that helps you find top foods containing particular vitamins & minerals, and describes the body's use of that vitamin or mineral. For instance, if you need to boost your iron intake because you're anemic, you'll find a comprehensive list of iron-rich foods in the back of the book.

This is a fabulous book to own whether you're simply watching your weight or are someone who likes to be informed about what you're eating. I liked this book so much I bought it as a gift for two friends, and they've each raved about it. It definitely gets a place on the keeper shelf!

Summary: A fascinating resource
This book gives you the nutritional makeup of EVERY food out there--from fruits and nuts all the way to fast food. And it doesn't "look down" on any kind of food. It gives you the facts, and always finds some redeeming nutrition, even in a Big Mac! In trying to increase my fiber intake, I found this book invaluable--and an interesting read to boot!

Summary: Culinary ideas and encouragement
This sensible diet book begins with a pep talk for low fat and outlines a seven-step program, emphasizing menu planning, fat-gram counting rather than calorie counting, and excercise.

Recipes make liberal use of fat-reduced ingredients as well as healthy substitutes for fat. The chicken and grape salad, for example is dressed with low-fat lemon yogurt and a dash of nonfat mayonnaise, and the haddock in creamy orange-basil sauce uses light cream cheese and reduced fat cottage cheese.

Other recipes are naturally low fat - mustard-roasted turkey breast, pork medallions in spiced tomato sauce, pasta with red clam sauce - and rely on herbs and spices for flavor intensity rather than oil.

Sidebars offer nutritional information for each recipe as well as slimming tips. Fat and calorie tables are also included as well as two weeks of menus. A wide ranging, well-organized book for the American kitchen with only the occasional revolting idea such as dry nonfat milk powder in your morning coffee.

Summary: one-stop cooking and lifestyle to stay slim
I look at a lot of cookbooks, and this is one of the best all-around healthy cooking and weight management approaches I have found. It includes lots of charts, guidelines, and hints for healthier eating, plus great illustrations and clear directions. I especially like the vegetarian and fish sections. Each recipe includes a "extra health benefits" section that I found interesting.

Summary: good food fast
If only all authors of low-fat cookbooks could have seen this book first. Each easy- to- follow recipe gives a breakdown on health benefits, preparation and cooking time, and a nutritional breakdown. Often times, there are extra chef's hints on shopping tips, substitutions, or presentation. Recipes that take 10 minutes or less to cook have an easy to read "quick" notation. Perfect for the novice chef; recipes are simple yet elegant. Lessons on different food groups give knowledge you can use in the kitchen and at the supermarket. yummy!

Summary: A MUST FOR ANY PET LOVER!!!
I read this book in my vet's office while waiting for our scheduled appointment and as I turned each page I laughed out loud more and more. I am buying it for all of my pet loving friends for Christmas!

Summary: This is one LOUSY read!
A thoughtful person gave me a copy of Bricklin's poor excuse for humor. Of all pet "letters" pitifully few were even mildly amusing. My disappointment turned to anger when, near the books end, Bricklin throws a barb at the already hopelessly beleaguered pit bull breed. While breed is noted in only a tiny minority of "letters," pit bulls are specified in a less than complimentary reference. This is either misplaced spite or profound ignorance. As a person involved in pit bull rescue I deal with the helpless victims of Bricklin's style of thinking. One in five hundred pit bulls find a home, the rest are put to death. Shame on Bricklin and shame on Hallmark. I'll be passing this information along the rescue network to alert conscientious animal supporters to avoid this and other Hallmark products. For much higher quality humor read Mondo Canine by Jon Winokur.

Summary: The FUNNIEST and BEST Book for Animal Lovers!!!
This is the FUNNIEST and CUTEST book for ANYONE who likes animals. Men will enjoy it as much, if not more, than women. It is NOT a "religious" book, but a hilarious "translation" by Mark Bricklin of the various "messages" that he is sure various pets are sending up to God.

I have 3 copies of this book at home now and have given at least 7 books to friends, vets, my hairdresser, and family. It is a DELIGHTFUL little addition in a gift basket for someone you know that has a dog, cat, bird, fish, hampster; (you get the idea...)

Examples of Bricklins' humor, which are included:

" Dear God,
Is thunder absolutely necessary?"
McGwire Dog

"Dear God,
How do I get rid of dog breath?"
Delilah Dog

"Dear God,
Are humans on uppers or are we on tranquilers?"
Buddy Box Turtle

"Dear God,
Please Pass this message along to my so-called master:
Why are you trying to teach me to roll over and play dead? Do you find that funny? Funny how?"
Joe Dog

These are just a FEW of the terrific messages to God from a vast menagerie of pets. Most are just really funny, but a few are rather touching.

You cannot go wrong with this book. It is great to bring cheer to anyone's day!

Summary: This is an excellent book for the mental health professional
This book is a compendium of information, presented in the format used by and familiar to mental health professionals. It should be of interest to anyone working in the child custody evaluation field or considering a career move into this area. This book is not likely to be of interest to the general public, including people involved in divorce; it is not geared for or marketed to them.

Summary: Don't buy this book
Bricklin and Eliot are to be avoided. Their book, Psychologists' 1999 Child Custody Strategies for Men, was a major disappointment for the following reasons: In our worst time, when money is tight but priorities are on our children and not our bank balances, they scalp us to the tune of $60 for a 'book' that in reality is more like a first-draught of a college paper. No, worse: in college, one has to at least _spell_ correctly. Forget the presentation (tree-killing, single-sided pages and a notebook all designed to make it seem bigger and more important than it is), the writing is horrible and substance is in short supply. The title, 'Strategies for MEN' is a lie: it's written for both sexes and doesn't take into consideration the uphill battle we men have a this difficult time. I bought at the same time a $12 book by Steinbreder & Kent which had double the substance. There's a reason this 'book,' by Bricklin/Elliot doesn't have a publisher: it doesn't meet the grade. They should try proofreading, try a ghostwriter, try another profession. Since the book offered here is basically the same book, I strongly recommend not buying it.
