Few names are as well known in the fashion world as Karl Lagerfeld, but unbeknownst to many people, Karl has had a problem with his weight for many years. He finally sought help for his issue and once he successfully lost the weight, he decided to develop a new diet plan based on his regimen. Although the fashion industry is synonymous with unhealthy weight loss and body issues, this diet is actually quite refreshing and grounded in good principles that address several facets of losing weight.
While those interested in nutrition may have room to quibble, the book delves heavily into the mental reasons why some people have an addiction to food. It's always nice to see a book that addresses this problem and helps people overcome the reasons that they are overweight. All the best nutrition information in the world isn't going to do you any good if you are not addressing the reasons why you are overweight. This book was really a breath of fresh air and quite unexpected.
The main premise of the diet is to simply lower the amount of calories you're taking in and exercise more. That's really the magic formula when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off and although the book may not offer any groundbreaking techniques it is grounded in good diet principles that really do work. More than 100 recipes are provided in the book and all were selected on the basis of taste and the fact that they were very low calorie.
We were pleased with the selection since many of the foods were actually quite good. Too many diets focus on deprivation and food that is rather unappetizing and this makes it even harder to stick to a diet and lose weight. The Karl Lagerfeld diet aims for foods that are delicious as well as being good for you and dieters should have no problem sticking to this regimen.
The results take a little longer than most diets, but again, this is due to the fact that it is a very sensible diet that focuses on the long term and getting mentally fit as well as physically fit. If you're looking for a quick fix fad diet, this one isn't for you, but if you truly want to make that lifestyle change and get healthy over the long term, this is the perfect diet.
We highly recommend this book due to the fact that it is incredibly comprehensive. In addition to great diet tips it also contains information on skin care and how to stop smoking. This really helps you feel better about yourself and shifts the focus away from unhealthy weight loss methods. Lagerfeld has been able to keep the weight off and his diet is incredibly useful for anyone looking to lose weight, whether it's ten pounds or more than one hundred. It's an easy and fast paced read that will leave you wanting more and energized to start on your road to a new you.

I wanna read this.
so
ya having a drawing for your copy now that youre through?
have a great weekend.
I actually got my copy from the public library system and it has been returned.
But what a great idea… If any publishers want to send me a promotional copy of a book I will review it and then give it away to a reader. hint hint.
(As a point of emphasis… this is not a guarantee of a positive review only an offer to have a review of my honest opinion.)
I like that you mentioned how eating healthy/fewer calories isn’t going to do much good if there are other issues involved, such as emotional eating or food addictions. The solution to weight loss is simple – in theory: eat right and exercise. But in reality those emotional issues make it a whole different ballgame! We have to work through the emotional/addictive issues first before making weight loss a success for a lifetime.
[...] The Karl Lagerfeld Diet – Weight Loss Journal reviews the book. I liked this line: “The main premise of the diet is to simply lower the amount of calories you’re taking in and exercise more.” It’s too bad, I was looking for a diet that requires no exercise and lots of eating. [...]
