We were both extremely disappointed. The paperpack edition does not contain any illustrations! This experience is unique as I have never seen such a difference between hardcover and paperback versians of any publication. It was the illustrations along with the text that made the hardcover edition so worthwhile. That old saying that pictures are worth a 1000 words is even more significant with Shapiro's book! Consequently, I am returning the paperback edition and ordering a copy of the original hardcover book.

Dr. Shapiro has a lot of sound advice when it comes to diet, but his statement that "No food is bad food" concerns me. When it comes to diet there are certain foods one should avoid such as diet soda or artificial ANYTHING. He really didn't go along with these ideals and basically focused upon calories and not so much the nutritional aspects of food. But overall he would be a good transition from a strictly junk food diet to something a little more healthy. So I feel that his book would be good for a person that has trouble switching to a completely unprocessed diet.

All he essentially says is to read labels and compare calories per serving. Most products whether listed as "low cholesterol" or "low fat", etc. are not that much different in calories than their counterparts without these claims. I do disagree with a couple things he says. Like "peanut butter" is ok for a spread. At 190 calories for 2 tbsp. (he says), it's pretty high in calories. He fails to mention that to make it spreadable, icing sugar is added!!! Read the label if you don't believe me. Only "pure" peanut butter from a health food store is better----because it contains only peanuts and you can usually watch them make it right in front of your eyes. Even soups have unnecessary ADDED suger. Why, I have no idea. And if they leave OUT the salt or sugar, the price dramatically goes up!!!! Another rip-off by companies for people trying to lose weight. Also, he claims the amount of salt doesn't make any difference to weight. Well, I can notice a BIG difference when I eat anything salty. I retain alot of water because of it. My hands and feet both swell up the next day. And one important point he seems to be forgetting. People mostly choose things that are fast, easy and cheap when they are in a hurry. They don't read labels and compare calories. You could spend hours and hours shopping and reading labels the next time you go to the grocery store. Time is not a luxury for most people. Rating: 1 / 5 Really a no-brainer.
