Bread is the Devil: Win the Weight Loss Battle by Taking Control of Your Diet Demons
By Heather Bauer, R.D., C.D.N.
Premise: Don’t be fooled by the title. This is not a low-carb, Dr. Atkins second-coming book. Instead, Bauer believes that we all have diet devils that, well, bedevil our ability to lose weight.
For one person it might be parties, restaurants, and passed puff pastries; for another it might be boredom and that bag of potato chips.
Bauer turns you into a “Strategic Eater” able to navigate around your demons.
Who’s it for? People who understand they should eat cleaner and exercise more but need strategies to accomplish this.
How realistic is the method? Very. Bauer’s “Blueprint” offers strategies for all the NYC diet bugaboos, e.g., too many restaurant meals, drinks with colleagues, and City Bakery.
Takeaway and grade: Bauer offers sane advice for savvy New Yorkers. It’s commonsensical, but not obvious, and the book is friendly for either skimming or hunkering down and following her plan to the letter. A
