So-so July 11, 2007 There are better quit smoking references out there. I don't think the author should have started out with how hard it is to quit smoking. I had more cravings while reading those chapters than during my first week quit. I give 2 stars only because it is accurate in the fact of the body fat/carb chemistry changing.
This book works if you're a need-to-know type November 2, 1999 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book prepared me for what to expect -- what stages my cravings would go through and why, and for how long. It let me know why I might or might not gain weight and what I needed to do to counteract that. The book provided the tools for understanding the physical repercussions of quitting. I guess forewarned is forearmed.
A standard, formulaic diet book January 12, 1999 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book doesn't quite live up to its title. The skimpy info on the special problems smokers run into with regard to weight management (which most people already know if they've read anything about it in newspapers or in the smoking-related Newsgroups) is heavily padded out with pages and pages of standard fat-content charts and blank charts to fill out as part of the author's "7+7" weight program. This gimmicky program essentially states: Eat less fat and exercise. The information on smoking cessation programs is also very dated; Zyban/Wellbutrin are not mentioned, and the nicotine patch seems to have been almost an experimental technique when this book was written. This little book seems like it was cranked out as a quick money-maker--a standard, formulaic diet book with a few cliched statements about smoking thrown in.
