Love this book. Love the list of non-negotiable rules. Love that I learned how to eat properly. I can incorporate all the rules into my life and not feel like I'm on a diet. It's not a diet, it's the way to eat. Thanks! (

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. (

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. (

Review first published on my blog: http://memoriesfrombooks.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-skinny-rules.html

The Skinny Rules as the name implies is a diet book. A diet book by a big name celebrity of the diet industry. Bob Harper of The Biggest Loser. The book presents a set of twenty rules to change eating habits and lead to a healthier lifestyle. The rest of the book is a set of menus and recipes to support the eating rules.

My reaction to the book is based partially on my reaction to the rules presented. Some are basic common sense - water, vegetables. portion size. Those you can find across any such book. Some I don't agree with. For example, the idea of a splurge meal to me promotes a diet mentality rather than a lifestyle change.

My reaction to the book is also based on what is not in the book. The book provides these rules but not much guidance on how to implement them. Also, the rules focus on food and do not address physical activity which to me is an equally important part of this journey.

Finally, I did find some inconsistencies in the book. For example, one rule says to avoid sweeteners. Yet, recipes in the book call for agave nectar, which is a sweetener.

So, overall, a set of rules is a straightforward approach. I like some of the rules as they are common sense. My advice would be to take what you find of value, question the science of what seems not based on common sense, and most of all, take responsibility for your own health lifestyle. The rules can help you along the way, but only if you make the change. (
