Editorial Review:
In just two weeks you’ll lose weight, be healthier, and you can still eat your favorite chips, cookies, and ice cream!The reason so many diets fail for so many people is that they force the dieter to cut out the foods they love and crave. With The 90/10 Weight-Loss Plan, dieters learn to balance their food intake by eating 90% healthy, nutritious food, with 10% “Fun Food”—whatever they want, whenever they want. Nutritionist Joy Bauer has created a phenomenon that has taken the nation by storm: a diet that is healthy and easy to follow. And since dieters don’t feel deprived of their favorite foods, The 90/10 Weight-Loss Plan is a program they can stay on. The innovative plan offers:
- Three different caloric levels, based on one’s weight-loss goal
- 42 meals for each level, including breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks
- Meals that provide the most nutrition possible, while reducing saturated fat and cholesterol intake
- Meals that help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer
- Menus that are designed to include food the dieter will love!

Rating:  - You will never need another "diet" book!
I have tried everything: WW, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Atkins, Biggest Loser, etc. I own every diet book out there. I even tried the oil or sugar in the water diet. I usually couldn't even make it through one meal on a diet nevermind a day.
Finally I realized I just didn't want to lose weight.
Well of course I wanted to lose weight I just didn't know how to convince my head.
My mind set wasn't there. So I set out to find out how to get there.
I was watching ... Read More
Rating:  - Not very helpful and kind of confusing
It could be just me but I found this book very confusing to follow and not very interesting...I didn't feel motivated at all...It may have not worked for me, but that does not mean it will not work for any one else...good luck
Rating:  - Sensible eating
While I do admit that the idea is nothing new (calorie and portion control equals weight loss), the thing that makes this book work is how this idea is laid out for the real world--where temptations and comfort foods abound and meals sometimes have to be as simple as a frozen dinner nuked in the microwave. Knowing that giving in to a slice of pizza or a bag of M&Ms isn't going to blow your entire diet can be motivation enough to actually make the changes many people need to do something about their ...

Rating:  - Buy Dr. Weil's Book instead
I really like Joy Bauer. She is personable and tolls out sensible and realistic advice on the Today Show, however her book is very dissapointing. The menus provided are dull and without imagination. The "fun" foods as she calls them (the 10% part of her diet) are simply the saved calories from a spartan menu. Spend your money on Dr. Weil's first book(s). You'll actually enjoy the menus and learn about how to change your lifestyle to be healthier.
Rating: - Scientifically Designed?
Don't waste your time or money on this one. "Scientifically designed" should imply the following: documented case studies, control groups, statistical analysis of the data (to support the 90/10 theory) followed by peer review in scientific journals. There is no evidence of "scientific design" present in this book. Unfortunately, this becomes one of the fad diets the author warns us about. In fact, she even cautions the reader about trans fats, only to condone eating foods that are notoriously loaded ... Read More
