OMG, I am so glad I am not alone in my intense dislike of this book.

The nutritionist author (I should have known RIGHT THERE!) slides...

I found this book to be so offensively bad, and such a complete waste of my time that I did something I've never done before........I wrote the author. Quick read? You bet. Simple language?
