4. The Best Life Diet, Revised and Updated
by Bob Greene "The formula for weight loss may be uncomplicated, people are not." If emotional eating is your thing this book can help. I encourage women who are drawn to Bob and all things Oprah to do the exercises if you buy the book. The food plan is easy to follow and there is a companion cookbook. |
