I'd already purchased The Skinny Meals and wish I'd realized it would be much the same as found in The Skinny Rules. $14.99 spent for quite a bit of some word-for-word duplication.

Prior to finding this book at my library, I'd been bombarded by weight loss commercials, programs & other diet books. Nothing gave me what I was looking for until Bob decluttered everything. Following these rules, I lost 55 pounds over the span of two years. Now that I'm coming out of the weight loss mentality, I'd like to say thanks Bob! If you're tired of getting misinformed & receiving too many opinions, turn to this book-you can't go wrong. It really is a lifestyle transformation.

Loved this book!!!! Will definitely recommend to my girls!

Worth reading and doing. I have lost 6 lbs in a week and a half from doing Jumpstart to Skinny and this book I am feeling so much better about my body and the things I'm cooking. Great rules and recipes, I know others who follow this will be thankful they did because its amazing what eating clean will do for your body.

If you live in a household with 2 working adults and children, don't bother reading this. No normal person has enough time to pull off the food prep required here.

I have been a "career dieter" for most of my 49 years. And I have seen and heard some very good advice in this book. Having seen some crazy fad diets I think this eating life style will be wonderful. I will do some tweaking as I have Celiac disease, but for the most part this is a doable life style. I'm excited to get started.

I love this book. I have a degree in Kinesiology and have done plenty of my own research on nutrition. The rules are completely inline with everything else that I have read. The meal plans are great! This is the first nutrition plan I have been on where I feel full after every meal and stay satisfied for 4-6 hours. I would recommend this to anyone as a guidebook to healthy eating. This is a diet you can stay on indefinitely because it is commonsense nutrition and portion control, not deprivation.

I have read many books on weight loss and have lost interest by the second chapter. Skinny Rules tells it like it is and why,with no exceptions. Great Book

But.... It is missing a page :(

Overall good, if not great (least for me). The book is basically broken down in three parts; 1st "rules" and big picture overview. 2nd meal plans. 3rd recipes. The first section was my favorite. Providing easy to follow rules, how and why they work and suggestions for following. The other two sections while interesting, I use more as examples of the first section. I've never been one for strict "eat exactly this" type guy (and yes I've lost a lot of weight and much better shape eating regular foods). But the overall idea certainly helped me, re-focus and reinforced some things. And if you are a person struggling and don't know how to start, this book would be a good place to start. Good in that it can be done step by step, but also tells you the why's so you are gaining education. And education in health management (not just weight loss, but overall health) is like education in anything else. It is power. It is giving you tools to take action. I'm more looking to lose that last 10 lbs and fine tune my exercise and food intake (I refuse to use the term "diet"). So while beneficial, I would have like a little more of "next steps". To be clear, you get exactly what the description of the books says. And is well written and easy to read. Overall recommended.
