REVIEW: "Eat Smart, Walk Strong" by Leslie Sansone

Title: "Eat Smart, Walk Strong"
Author: Leslie Sansone
Pages: 255
Diety?: somewhat
Promotes IE?: somewhat
My Rating: 4****

Another 6-week plan from Leslie Sansone, this one has you incorporate 6 new "healthy habits" that will keep you "naturally slim":

- Intentional Eating
- Breakfast
- Portion Control
- Slow Food
- Snacks
- Restaurants

This book was filled with excellent tips and advice, and of course, a nod toward getting in regular physical activity (especially walking! --grin--). It also, quite often, spoke in terms of Intuitive Eating! So, I have to recommend this book, despite the somewhat diety nature, in parts.

It really is based off of common sense, and Leslie's very flexible plan is doable. "Take what you love, and leave the rest!"

My Rating: 4****

Leslie outlines a 6-week plan where you walk 1 - 3 miles a day, drink your 8 glasses of water, and get enough sleep. She guarantees you'll feel better and be thinner if you follow her program for 6 weeks without fail. Of course, proper diet is tied into this.

I have really enjoyed Leslie's "Walk Away the Pounds" DVDs, and the success stories sprinkled throughout this book (most of which have the people doing Weight Watchers, in addition to the WAtP DVDs) are very inspiring. The DVDs will make you stronger and boost your endurance, if nothing else.

The book is based on common sense. If you increase your exercise, and watch your portion sizes, you CAN lose weight. And, walk-aerobics is a fun way to do exercise. :o)
