From USA Today: "Diet books with some heft"

"Pound for pound, these could be just the ticket to a healthier life"

By Nanci Hellmich

"Anne Fletcher ... surveyed 208 'masters of weight control' -- people who lost an average of 64 pounds and kept it off an average of 11 years. She has three excellent books based on her research: Thin for Life, Thin for Life Daybook, and Eating Thin for Life. The books have very helpful insights about losing weight and keeping it off. The 'masters of weight control' have figured out how to keep doing the things most people can't make themselves do: They are willing to exercise regularly, eat smaller portions and consume the right foods. If things are stressful, a master dieter might take a walk or a bath or drink a cup of good coffee instead of overindulging."
