This book has everything I was looking for and more. It was easy to understand and delivered in a educational yet still interesting way. I’m really excited to get started on my journey. I feel like I am the queen of yo-yo dieting, but this is close to a lifestyle change I made about 12 years back and I lost like 80 pounds so I know it will work if I stick with it. I like that these authors explain the body chemistry behind this 40/30/30 plan and why we should do these things. They also provide some fabulously delicious sounding recipes that I can definitely use for my children as well. This will work great to have these options that do not require me to make 7 different meals between my six kids I have at home and my husband and I. I highly recommend this book for someone looking for a lifestyle change for purpose of weight loss, but who does not want to give up all carbohydrates. As that’s not really healthy nor practical for long term. Our bodies need healthy carbs to function properly, as you will learn in this book. 4 1/2 Stars ⭐️

A interchange, not a diet

The 40-30-30 plan makes a balance meal of what we need to stay healthy. There are meal plans designed for each individual, not 1 plan is good for everyone. Makes you think more about your next meal.
