Anyone who expends more than a brain cell planning a "smart" meal is labelled a dieter in our society. It's a poor use of the term, and this is one of the first books I have ever read that puts that simple knowledge to practical use. For this is not about "dieting", but rather an easy to learn method for making smart choices in the nutrition category.Dan Isaacson smartly emphasizes the importance of CHANGE, as opposed to elimination in "The Equation". Eating, he recognizes, is as much a habit as a necessity, and working through the habit mentality to develop more healthy practices is the goal of his program. Stressing the appropriateness of burning off the calories consumed through exercise is also part of Isaacson's "equation" (as is consumption of large amounts of water), so this plan is more program than simply a diet plan.
There are a few factors that take this book a level above most eating plans. One is Isaacson's style of writing, which I found very uplifting and empowering. You feel he genuinely wants you to succeed.Second, Isaacson's methods and lessons on the "change" topic are applicable to any area of life, not simply eating. There are some very intelligent tips for making positive change sprinkled throughout this book.
This is NOT a lose 10-in-10 program, so if you are looking for a fast fix, it's best to avoid this book (it's also best to avoid lose 10-in-10 programs, but you allready know that). If you are looking for a smart method to improve eating patterns, and coonsequently improve esteem and lifestyle, this book is a wise first step.
