THE OBVIOUS DIET recognizes that the rules you make yourself are the rules you are most likely to stick to. It shows you how to devise and eating regimen that is based on avoiding your own particular weakness, whether it is carbohydrates, animal fats, or sugar. It works because, rather than imposing a rigid plan from on high, it allows you to mix and match elements from different diets to suit your own lifestyle. If you have tried many diets over the years but found they didn"t work for you, then THE OBVIOUS DIET is for you. With ideas and advice from Ed Victor"s celebrity friends and clients, the book provides anecdotes and inspirational tips to help you stick to your plan. Mel Brooks, Anne Bancroft, Tina Brown, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and many more contribute their recipes and words of wisdom. Dieting has never been so interesting!
