Slimming Secrets of the Rich and Famous
2.0 out of 5 stars Leaves a lot to be desired This book was a disappointment. Much of the information is common knowledge. The recipes were unappetizing for the most part. Some recipes such as pasta carbonara would be high in calories. One celebrity has bacon or ham for breakfast each day. -
A Physician's Slimming Guide
The book is short because Barnard has spared us anecdotes, padding, and lengthy but irrelevant personal testimony. This book gets down to brass tacks immediately, is clearly presented, and makes total sense. I'm impressed not only by the book but also by the success of the method and its common-sense simplicity. Highly recommended.
