    About this ebook

    THE LAST DIET BOOK YOU’LL EVER NEED
     
    With so much conflicting weight-loss advice out there to confuse your efforts, it’s no wonder you haven’t been successful losing weight and keeping it off. But with Bob Harper, superstar trainer and co-host of NBC’s hit show The Biggest Loser as your personal authority and coach, you can and will finally shed the pounds—whether you want to lose two or two hundred!
     
    Distilling Bob’s vast knowledge of nutrition, weight-loss strategy, and human nature down to twenty simple, nonnegotiable principles, The Skinny Rules will help you step away from a reliance on processed foods and the need for so much sweet and salt and step into a newly thin lifestyle. And Bob’s methods couldn’t be more straightforward.
     
    Taking the guesswork out of implementing the Skinny Rules, Bob offers a month’s worth of menu plans and more than 90 delicious, rule-abiding recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to keep you cooking and eating skinny for life. You’ll be happily astounded to see the variety and volume of the tasty food on your plate! He also includes terrific tips for what to stock in your fridge and what to prepare every weekend in order to set yourself up for success during your too-busy-to-cook weekdays.
     
    A virtual GPS to your weight-loss goals, The Skinny Rules takes the mystery out of the process, offering the fastest route to your skinny destination.
     
    LOSING WEIGHT IS NOW AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3 . . . AND 3-15-18-20 TOO!
     
    Rule #3: Eat protein at every meal, making some kind of fish your go-to protein as often as you can. Take your weight and divide it by two—that’s more or less how much protein you should be eating in grams every day.
     
    Rule #15: Eat at least ten meals a week at home (and cook them yourself). Restaurant portions are usually 40 to 50 percent bigger than what you’d serve at home—the more you eat out, the more you overeat. Set yourself up for success by preparing my turkey meatballs, hummus, and roasted vegetables on the weekend so that you will have go-to staples and no excuses!
     
    Rule #18: Go to bed slightly hungry. Denied fuel for more than five hours, your body will start burning its own fat and sugar. Make a point not to eat after dinner and you’ll be burning fat while you’re sleeping.
     
    Rule #20: Enjoy a splurge meal once a week. Unlike episodic bingeing, splurge meals are an ingredient in your diet. When you plan something, you are in control.

      I enjoyed this book, partly because it was written pretty closely to how Bob talks on "The Biggest Loser," and it worked for this book. I liked the Skinny Rules for the most part. One I'm definitely going to try (that I'm not doing already) is drinking a glass of water before each meal.

      Bob Harper, from The Biggest Loser, points out some very good things in his diet and his recipes. Yes, a sticking point with some of the recipes, as another reviewer stated, is that he says to avoid sweetners, but then agave nectar is in some of the recipes. I like that at least one of the recipes included liquid amino acids (I've been a fan for 10 years of that gluten-free soy sauce alternative.) My biggest problem is that like many other diets, this one includes nuts! I am allergic (we're talking about anaphylaxis)to tree nuts as well as peanuts, sesame and sunflower seeds. I am also allergic to cheese (Mr. Harper recommends some cheese). This is the problem with a lot of diets. None of them really tell one what to do when allergic to some major items! Otherwise, this book has some very good suggestions.
    • 4/5
      Basic,common sense guides to healhty eating.Great recipes and guidelines. The author denounces agave as one of the bad sweeteners,but then goes on to list agave as the sweetener in his recipes.A bit confusing on his part. Agave is a healthier alternative to the chemical sweeteners everyone uses and doesn't spike insulin levels.
