Best Diet Book Ever!

Who ever heard of a diet book that you couldn't put down and had you laughing out loud ala Bridget Jones and Stephanie Plum? Think Ya-Yas go on a diet. 3fc's is full of great info on everything from Atkins to Zone and written by real people who have gone through it all. I borrowed it from the library and am ordering one for myself and another for my daughter. Three cheers for the original three fat chicks, the Barnett sisters. Hip, hip, hooray!!!
-a brand new Chick Who Counts

one size does not fit all

Ever wonder why one plan works great for someone but not for you? And once you get started on something and you can't figure out how to fit all the pieces together and need some help, where do you go? This book. It has it all. It's plain to see that the three sisters have seen it all and done it all, and their community members have as well. There's a huge amount of useful information, lots of humor, and it's all honest. No holds barred.

Dieting is hard work, and keeping it off is even harder. 3 fat chicks know the struggle and share it with everyone they touch.

Well done; Thumbs Up

After providing free recipes and encouragement for years via their website, I am delighted to see that these sisters published their own book. It's a good comparison of the variety of weight loss plans being marketed today. The book has a good amount of motivational material also.

We've seen the television ads, but which weight loss program is for you? These former "fat" chicks, of the well-known Web site, have got the skinny.

Whether Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach or surgery, their book reveals all, providing detailed analyses, pros and cons and participant comments about cost, commitment and outcomes. Hilarious, down-to-earth and very, very helpful.

Like Diet Advice from Girlfriends!

I adored this book...full of good information and serious facts, but told in a conversational and humerous way that made all of it much more palatable than if I'd went to each diet's website or tried to read all their literature. Like the "Girlfriend's Guide to..." books, the writing in "3 Fat Chicks..." makes you feel like you are sitting down with your best girlfriends to get the 'real scoop' on what the popular diets out there are like, what they do well, what doesn't work, and most importantly, how to make them successful.

They provide guidance on how to select the right diet for you, believing that finding a plan you can stick to is key to future weightloss success. They emphasize healthy actions and healthy eating, which I appreciated after reading other books where the plans sound incredibly unhealthy and likely to cause lifelong damage. They know that the real secret to weightloss is cutting calories and exercising more, but also acknowledge that the way you approach that can affect your success as well.

I really appreciated the numerous quotes from members of the 3 Fat Chicks website who weighed in on their experiences with the diet and what worked and didn't work for them. They gave tips for dealing with the plans and making them more successful, which was really helpful. I'm a frequent user of sites that include recommendations from other users and have grown slightly dependent on hearing from others who have gone before on what they would do differently. The authors catered to that need by including advice, comments, and tips from many, many users of their website, many of which were amusing as well!

In addition, I found several of the recipes very interesting! It was an addition to the book that I didn't really expect. Not only did they help me get a better picture of how each plan translates into real eating, but they gave me lots of good ideas for things I might want to actually cook.

All in all, this is an extremely helpful book in selecting a diet plan that works for you, but it also has wonderful information for those already on a specific diet on how to make it work better! I've already given my copy to a friend of mine...I'm on the South Beach Diet and she's on Weight Watchers, but we both found a lot to like with "3 Fat Chicks..."!
