Of course, this is excellent advice. The problems begin when diets suggest foods that are hard to find or at least require visiting specialist shops. Sometimes these are also more expensive than the kinds of food we buy in our regular supermarket. To change to a long term, healthy diet, the regular items need to be easily available, preferably in the supermarket. The author of The Supermarket Diet, Janis Jibrin, M.S., R.D., is an experienced nutritionist who specialises in weight loss. Additionally, she is featured on the Good Housekeeping website where she offers advice to visitors to the site and has her own regular section. In the book, she gives advice on losing weight using everyday foods that are readily available on supermarket shelves. She suggests menus and gives recipes for weight loss and healthy eating. There is also advice on incorporating exercise into a weight loss program and she gives reassurance - you don't need to go for the 'burn'. She says, "You really don't need superstrenuous, painful exercise to lose weight. Countless people have dropped the pounds by just walking. In fact, you burn more fat walking or doing moderately difficult cycling or other moderate activities than you do with very intense exercise that leaves you panting." I think most people who want to start exercising will find that reassuring. There is advice on reading and interpreting labels on food products so you know how much saturated fat, salt and other ingredients they contain. Finally, reaching your target weight is a big achievement but, after that, keeping it off is essential and there is good, sensible advice on this aspect. Overall, this is a good book with very sensible advice. Not only is it clearly written, the food products in the eating programs and recipes are easily available at most supermarkets.

When
trying to lose weight, we are often told that we should not only
watch what we eat and cut out or cut down on certain foods, we are
also told that we must get into a new pattern of eating because
it was the old pattern that led to increased weight.
