Anne Fletcher's Thin for Life: What the Experts Say

"Her book sends out a very positive message," says Cynthia Sass, MPH, MA, RD, co-author of Your Diet is Driving Me Crazy.

"We used to hear the statistic that 98% of dieters gain it back," says Sass. "But newer information now is that only about 80% of people gain it back -- 20% are keeping it off. Her whole premise is, 'How did they do it?' She called them and found out.

"The people in her book are successful - they show that you're not doomed to fail. This is not a how-to type of book. This is a book about what these people did - and what you can learn from them."

They're using advice that nutritionists given for years, Sass notes. "This book is not about a quick fix. it's more about lifestyle modification. I've recommended this book to many people, and they've said they could relate to the case studies."
