I've just started watching the show this week, and I'm totally hooked, as her recipes sound delicious, and yet they're FAST and look easy! I can't wait to try some of the stu...

There's a page right after the introduction that has a single sentence on it: "The best diet is the one you don't know you're on." Love it! Great book! Hope you enjoy it!

The Intuitive eating/nondieting movement has helped me tremendously. To me, it's not too different from No Sing. I guess the difference is that IE would tell you to eat when hungry. For those unfamiliar with IE, you must learn to know true hunger. You can't just have a craving and say " I will have...
