I will voluntarily pass on the form of the book (which I liked) to go straight to the point: the bottom.
What he has in the book? (I'll be a bit long but it allows me to explain what you will find to avoid buying "not knowing" at least, no surprise)
Firstly this book is for everyone: big, small, fat, thin, athletes, sedentary, adolescents, pregnant women ...
Here, no deficiency in the meals provided, there is everything: meat, vegetables, oils, starches etc ...
The principle is simple:
-you determine your goal to lose weight, fat, weight stabilization.
-you choose a menu offered by the different menus.
A menu is a set meal that will give you your total calories for the day. You and menus 3 meals / day, planned for 2,000 kcal, menus to 5 meals a day for 5,000 kcal etc etc ...
Anyway you choose the most suitable menu for your needs (requirements that the book helps to determine) and your desires.
We will imagine that you want to lose weight, you start with a menu 2 500kcal.
You then decide if your menu will consist of 3-4-5 or even 6 meals (practice to avoid hunger pangs by eating regularly for example), depending on your possibilities.
In each menu, the meals on offer give you the exact quantities to be taken at breakfast, lunch, dinner ...
Nothing to think, you just follow. And in every meal you eat everything, no deprivation, no waiting!
Of course it is so balanced eating pizza is banned, Mackees and other kebabs;) BUT one is allowed to sometimes take as long as it is reasonable because as the author says, he is not about to marginalized by refusing food and the slightest deviation or to forego all the time.
So you start (in our example) by menu 2 500kcal.
You realize after two weeks of treatment as your weight increases, that you did not want.
What to do? Nothing complicated, you turn a book page and a menu onpasse 2 250kcal that will tell you what to decrease, in what quantities and thereby remain in a progressive principle (this is not to pass the day at 1 000kcal next day).
And then finally, if the weight decreases, remains to this menu and when it stops, you can go to menu 2 000kcal and so on to the desired results: D
That's the whole principle of the book if you want to gain weight, it's simple you increase the quantities (there tiered menu adds 250kcal each time), if you want to stabilize you have nothing to change.
Easy right?
And if it seems too difficult to change eating habits you had everything planned in the book to give you tips to go slowly and not make mistakes (no need to change everything from one day to next day if you want to take it easy).
In short, I loved this book, which includes fuller other related information (but I've written a lot so I do not talk about: p), I find it very suitable for all (adapted since fits all even those who must eat outdoors etc ..), simple to implement (just read and do what is said), and it does not promise extraordinarily quick results, but progressive and most durable and that's what counts I think;)
Finally small precision due to some reviews I've read:
There are examples of recipes that are given for bases with which to start. However you are not condemned to eat these few meals for the rest of your life.
The aim is gradually to be empowered with the knowledge to make various dishes BUT always balanced.
And personally for me who ate badly, I made good progress and on top of that, I spend less money every week when I shop so that's all benef '. :)
