review 1: I grabbed this quick at the library & thought it would be a graphic novel about body acceptance. It turned out to be about the authors experience losing weight with calorie counting. I think she should've consulted a nutritionist along the way writing the book. She talks a lot about her daily calorie goal. While I don't know her height so I can't say for sure, It seemed extremely low for weight maintenance. She could have stressed a little more that everyone's numbers are different. She also talks a lot about weighing in every morning for success which sounds extreme.
review 2: This would be decent overview of calorie counting if you knew nothing abut the topic at all. There isn't any deep introspection here, and the whole thing is pretty dull, actually, and m... moreany sections are repetitive. However, if someone really wanted to know the basics, (willpower, calorie counting, saying no to food, weighing daily) and needed to have that reiterated every three pages, well--this book would provide just that. less
