 The Game On! Diet: November 14, 2009
Nancy E. Hughbanks (Gooding, Idaho)
This is an all new approach to a diet that indeed does make it fun. The book is sprinkled with offensive language that has turned off some of my friends, they refused to finish reading it. It's too bad, I think they have a great product, why ruin it with this profane language.
Game On - The Best Approach to Weight Loss Yet November 13, 2009
Jeanne Harris (Central New York)
This is a book that should be a part of everyone's health library. It makes eating healthy and exercising easier than ever. Sharing with friends, co-workers, or other associates in a spirited competition is an exhilarating approach to getting healthy. You do not need a "prize" to win, the bragging rights of winning are enough. Get this book and share in the fun.....GAME ON!!

Not much to say except my wife saw this book on the news and it sounded like a neat thing to try. I bought 2 books. One for me and one for my wife. We both loved it and are planning to use it as a way of getting back into shape. Amazon is a great resource for anything I need and the best prices are always found at Amazon. Thanks for always having what I need Amazon and at a good price.

Very funny. Very fast and easy read. The diet/game itself is a blast. We have four teams playing right now--a combination of men and women--some who only have a little to lose, and some who have a lot to lose. All of us have lost weight, and our families our benefiting from the overall healthier eating. The competitive nature of the diet and the fun "trash talk" of our teammates & opposing teams makes it enjoyable to be dieting. We've dubbed it "competitive dieting".
I have tried every type of diet out there--from low fat, to low carb, to no sugar, to weight watchers. This is by far the easiest diet to follow. The fact that you are required to incorporate additional healthy habits, like getting sufficient sleep, water, exercise, eliminating a bad habit and incorporating a new, positive habit really helps with the overall lifestyle change that many other diets fail to address.
The first few days is tough; it will seem like you're cooking and eating all the time. If you have a soda pop/Rock Star/Monster addiction you will go through caffeine and/or sugar withdrawal. If you work out of the home, you will have to be prepared with your meals each morning, since you need to eat every two to four hours, five times a day. Towards the end of the first week, you'll have it pretty down pat, though. Since this diet allows one full meal off plus one full day off that you are required to take, you don't feel deprived. If you're craving Chinese food, for example, you just plan to have it on your day off.
I have recommended this book to everyone I know. I highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in making lasting lifestyle changes, even if you have no weight to lose, but want to get healthy and develop healthy habits. Your whole family will get on board with the competition, and everyone will benefit.
