Learning How to Eat (Again) is a book designed to help encourage the reader to lose weight. The author writes from personal experience about how he was able to lose quite a bit of weight in a healthy amount of time and managed to keep it off. I am a mom who gained weight while I was pregnant and 3 years later still struggled to lose some of that extra weight. The reader has to understand that this is not a diet book but rather a book that helps you obtain the knowledge to make healthier choices. I like the fact that the author's method includes cheat days. I found that when I did allow myself to splurge on higher fat foods they didn't appeal to me or even agree with me. So, I had to ask myself, "Is that something worth eating?" I managed to lose weight during the holidays and still enjoyed holiday food. I haven't gained it back. This book encouraged me to eat right instead of diet. I think with most books of this nature you use your own common sense and apply what you have learned to work for you. I am one who is into organic foods and natural foods so I encourage finding substitutes that are natural and lower in fat. Learning How to Eat (Again) was well written and easy to understand. The book was designed to help me, the consumer, to lose weight and it accomplished what it promised therefore I am rating it a 5 stars.

"Learning How to Eat (Again)" is an extraordinarily useful book for three reasons:

1.) It tackles a serious and seemingly overwhelming problem,
2.) It offers a genuinely useful solution, and
3.) The author writes with a style that makes it an extremely enjoyable experience to read.

Who can deny that the game is fixed against us in our efforts to keep excess weight off our bodies? The author identifies who the enemy is: fast food restaurants, television advertising, the hedonistic nature I our society, and prepackaged foods that are mislabeled to convince the consumer that they are “healthy” products.

What really makes this book indispensable is that the author researched how best to eat well in order to maintain a healthy weight, and then he tested his conclusion on himself. The remarkable discoveries that he made during this process are what he shares with us in the body of the book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to lose weight in a safe and dependable way, or for people who merely wish to improve their eating habits.

If, as Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest,” then "Learning How to Eat (Again)" returns a high rate of interest.

This is a pathetically researched book. It parrots misinformation from the seventies, stressing things that have subsequently been disproved. It lays the blame for weight gain on fats, and ignores all recent research that PROVES that excess consumption of processed carbohydrates is the driver behind the massive increase in obesity. Some fats, trans-fats etc., should be avoided, but while excessive fat consumption is not healthy, fats in a diet are essential to good health. Look at the skin and how rapidly it ages on women who live a low fat life. Even saturated fats are not the bogey men they have been painted - unless they are burned.
We live in a world where commercially processed grocery store foods and fast food providers all use excessive quantities of carbs in their products - because they are inexpensive when compared to protein.
This book will NOT help you become healthy, it will disappoint.

Brian Menard's 'Learning How to Eat' is a must for anyone wanting to eat healthy, maintain their body weight, lose weight or watching their DFI (daily fat intake)! Brian knows what he is talking about - why? - he has lived it. He explains the methods he used to lose over 50 pounds in only 7 months and evn allows days for cheating and eating out.

As individuals, we strive to improve in our work performance to get that raise...planning a weekend getaway for the relationship to become stronger...saving for our kids' college fund to make things easier in the future...

So, why not prepare to live longer by taking care of it by eating healthier?

As Brian states, "They say every great journey begins with a single step."

I have learned ways of eating healthier so I will feel better - mentally and physically.

I've been concerned about my health and fitness lately, so I searched the internet and found Brian V. Menard's amazing book,
Learning How to Eat (Again). I found it to be very inspirational as it helped me start the diet and exercise that I've been needing.
As of today, by monitoring the daily fat intake, the pounds have dropped, my energy has increased and my blood sugar has been
under control. Cholesterol numbers better too! I highly recommend this easy-to-follow book that teaches you how to look at your daily
food intake in a different way. It's working for me! 5-stars & more all the way!

Do you feel you're eating too much fat in your foods, and that you don't know where to start on how to trim this from your diet? Or, on the other hand, are you not feeling your best, and believe that fatty foods are contributing to this?

LEARNING HOW TO EAT(AGAIN) is a very helpful, comprehensive guide on how to control the daily fat intake (DFI) in one's diet, and to be conscious of the foods which may be delicious, but, may not be beneficial for long-term health. It is written in a easy-to-read manner, without ever becoming overly-scientific or staid, but always engaging and logical in its handling of a topic which is of concern to people the world over.

Congratulations to Mr. Menard on his weight loss. I commend anyone who takes steps to bring their weight under control.

This book is more of a personal experience written by a layperson rather than an actual ‘diet’ book written by someone who has an education or background in nutrition.

There is no documentation referenced in this book regarding Mr. Menard’s ‘diet’ as being nutritionally sound, especially for those with health issues or dietary restrictions.

Because this is not really a diet book as much as it is a dieter’s personal experience, I can’t recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this easy-to-understand guide to losing weight and doing it the healthy way. Mr. Menard explained the information in such a way that I was eager to know more. I'm going to keep this book handy for those weak moments when I get into a rut with my eating habits. Re-reading the info should get me back on track.

If you want to read a short book about a low fat diet, then this is for you. Easy to read and understand with some great tips...it's a way of approaching eating which makes sense, so I'll probably try it.
