Sometimes the humor is a bit overdone, but overall a star book. Friendly, non- aggressive approach and as promised, does take into account the problems around Jewish festival days plus Shabbat , etc. Another strong point is the overview of many (partly fad) diets , plus the great overview of sorts of exercise.Still, f.i. another “diet” or lifestyle ( Fuhrman way , LOADS of veggies, less meat, etc) , which is easy to try and weave into a family’s way of eating would have been nice . But to each his own and I am quite happy this book does exist and I grab it on a regular basis , just to have a laugh on exercise and diets.I would have liked some more – creative- suggestions on what to serve at one’s own Shabbat table to avoid the traps at least at home ( one does not want to overfeed the kids and DH with fat and sugar now, does one ? ) . Maybe a thought for another great book ? Lyfestyle- Jewish- Shabbat and festivals- cooking and baking sensibly and naturally, NO synthetic stuff -diet- exercise ?

You don’t have to be Jewish to love this book! It’s so much fun to read. I’ve never had a weight problem. I purchased the book for a friend and started reading it on the subway home. Now I’m totally hooked on Chava’s wit and good humor.
