This is the first and only book on dieting and exercise specifically designed for the Jewish woman.

It is not a diet book. It is a guidebook. The difference lies in the book’s ability to help you to diet on any healthy diet. It is an accompaniment to any balanced diet.

The book is written primarily for women, by a woman who has helped many struggling dieters over the years to reach and maintain their weight loss goals. One of the book’s greatest strengths is that it is in tune with a woman’s psyche and the way she thinks and lives.

In addition, this book builds a woman’s self-esteem and empowers her to take control of her life and look after herself. In the words of one health professional and fellow Weight Consultant, “This book gives permission to women to look after themselves.”
