I actually finished reading this like a month ago but forgot it was on my "currently-reading" shelf. My bad. Plus I've gotten really behind on my reading. Trying to become less of a fat-ass is like having a second job, for real. Plus it's slashing my reading time significantly (because I'm not coordinated enough to read a book whilst on a cardio machine), which sucks, but I guess the benefits my body is gaining outweigh my brain's current degeneration. Okay I'm rambling. I found this book to be quite helpful and motivational for what you should do for weight loss and getting healthy and leading a healthier lifestyle overall. I've had a difficult time sticking with rules #1 and #7 (7 is a total bitch). But yeah, here are the rules for future reference...THE SKINNY RULES:
#1 – DRINK A LARGE GLASS OF WATER BEFORE EVERY MEAL – NO EXCUSES!
#2 – DON’T DRINK YOUR CALORIES
#3 – EAT PROTEIN AT EVERY MEAL – OR STAY HUNGRY AND GROUCHY

#5 – EAT 30 TO 50 GRAMS OF FIBER A DAY
#6 – EAT APPLES AND BERRIES EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!
#7 – NO CARBS AFTER LUNCH (NO CARROTS AFTER 2PM!)
#8 – LEARN TO READ FOOD LABELS SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EATING
#9 – STOP GUESSING ABOUT PORTION SIZE AND GET IT RIGHT – FOR GOOD
#10 – NO MORE ADDED SWEETENERS, INCLUDING ARTIFICAL ONES
#11 – GET RID OF THOSE WHITE POTATOES
#12 – MAKE ONE DAY A WEEK MEATLESS
