Summary: Looking to get started??
Comment: If you are looking for a simple, thoughful guide to help you get started in the right direction towards better health, this book is perfect for you. It's easy to read, easy to follow along, and very inspiring! I really liked the Quiz in the book that helps you figure out what your problem areas are with your eating and how to develop healthier habits. I like Leslie's whole body approach. She connects emotional fitness, spiritual fitness, and physical fitness into a complete program.
I think this book is great for beginners because it builds upon simple goals and concepts day by day. You don't have to completely change your whole life and way of being, you are making small changes to make a big difference overall. I think this is a non- intimidating approach to fitness and eating smarter and being more thoughtful with both. Leslie's recipes might also encourage you to try foods you've never had before.
Leslie encourages using a pedometer to keep track of how many steps you walk in a day. You would not believe a difference this makes! This book and approach will open your eyes to things you may not have thought of before. The nutrition and fitness facts in the book are also very powerful and motivating.
Leslie's products are always great for boosting your mood and inspiring you to continue doing good things for yourself. It's definitely worth a shot!! I like this book because it helps you create good habits and stick to them.
If you are looking for a quick fix I wouldn't recommend this because it's a gradual approach. However, you will see and feel results if you do the program, which is six weeks. I saw results in about 10 days after starting the program.
One piece of advice: When it comes to Leslie's recipes, I feel some of the recipes could be cleaned up a bit. For example, try for brown rice, or whole grain pasta and low fat cheeses. She has many recipes that just say "pasta" or "cheddar cheese" but if you want to be more productive, I recommend substituting a low fat dairy product and whole grain products for any pastas she lists in her recipes. She also mentions adding in some fruits that are high glycemic. I recommend instead using a sugar free substitute or non-sweetened apple sauce in place of those things. None of the foods she lists are BAD for you....the recipes are very tasty and great! I simply recommend considering these substitutions to speed up your weight loss. She mentions them in the chapters in the book but then doesn't list them for some of her recipes.
I think Leslie's book is more for someone who is looking to get started and maybe has not tried a lot of varieties of foods. It's a gradual approach and perhaps after doing the six week program you will consider adding in the whole grain products and low fat dairy products instead of other foods. It will help you.
I find Leslie to be refreshing and her spirit is really wonderful. She motivated me to get off the couch and actually do something to benefit my health. I recommend her if you need a boost or a gentle push in the right direction. There's more than enough room in her program to make the program suit your needs and your lifestyle. It's small, gradual changes that make the bigger, long term change! All of these together will help you achieve your goals. This book is worth buying and the program is worth your time and is worth doing.

Comment: This is the second book by Leslie Sansone and I loved it! She is so inspiring. I have been fortunate enough to meet her in person and she is as sweet in real life as she is in her book. She teaches you how to eat smart to make good choices. I highly reccommend it as well as her other walking products. Can't wait for more from her!

Summary: Best recipes ever
Comment: I picked this book up at the library originally because the walking part of the title caught my eye, but it is the recipes that convinced me to buy my own copy. I have never found so many recipes that I (and my husband and 17 year old son) really like in one cookbook: black bean chili with avocados, orange pork loin, etc., etc. The best part is that none of them are that hard or contain that many ingredients and they are healthy for you. The book also contains a lot of good practical advice on improving your eating habits.

Summary: Think Smart
Comment: Leslie's new book helped me "think smart" about what is really holding me back from loosing weight. Each week you work on a new issue and you journal directly in the book. Also great receipes. Love the book.
