Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss |
 |
Review
Summary |
Dr. Howard Shapiro developed a weight loss plan called Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss. This book outlines specifically what Dr. Shapiro’s believes to be the keys to success in losing weight and maintaining a healthy life style. He is well known and has advised several celebrities as well as developed a weight loss program for the New York Police Department.
The premise of Shapiro’s book is that we often eat the food we think is healthy but end of depriving ourselves of enjoying more food at the same calorie count. He makes this point by using large pictures to compare intake and calories. For example, on one side he has a small fat-free muffin, and on the other side he has a huge mound of fruit and some whole-wheat buns. His point that you can eat more, you just need to understand where the real calories are.
He bases his book on the fact that we as consumers are uneducated about the truth behind nutrition and dieting. He states that we don’t need to eat smaller amounts; we need to know what is in healthy foods and make educated choices about how to use up our calories for the day.

| Final Thoughts |
|
You could make the argument that Shapiro’s’ book is not as much about dieting as it is about learning about food. Through pages and pages of pictures Shapiro makes the point that you can have just a little of one thing or fill yourself up on fruits, vegetables, and other low calorie foods. The focus remains on making wise food choices not restricting your diet so that you have few options as with many of the other diet programs on the market. This book would be a good choice for people who are interested in learning about the caloric value of specific foods and who want a tool to help them rethink their relationship with food.
