    Eat apples and berries daily
    Drink a glass of water before every meal
    Take a glass of water to bed and drink it when you wake in morning
    Don't add salt and stick to under 2000mg a day
    The harder ones for me were ...
    No carbs after lunch
    No eating 3 hours before bed!
    Eat breakfast within 45 min of waking.


    Every single one of these is nonsense.

    I like the rules. Sometimes it helps to have a new boost of motivation. I am basically at my goal weight and going to bed slightly hungry has been the difference getting off the last bits that were hard. Adding water, eating extra fiber, just plain makes sense. If you need a boost that is healthy without gimmicks this book is a good one. Plus he is nice & not asking you to buy supplements, a rare thing in the fitness/diet world. Good luck everyone!

    ^^^^^this^^^^^

    I say you only need this 1 rule: follow a consistent caloric deficit (aka diet) that you're willing to follow for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you're just going to gain the weight back.

    I have read parts of the book and pinned quotes from it on Pinterest. I plan on purchasing the book whenever I get around to Barnes and Noble again!
