Great info but Way too abridged

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, I'd recommend for the content, but I'm disappointed that so many of the tips and other info in the print book was not included. There was no .pdf with any recipes. Now I need to buy the print book, too.

The Skinny Rules: Everyone needs a reminder

I have this book, but haven't had time to read the actual book. However, I was going on a trip and decided to listen to the audiobook first. I've been into nutrition for quite some time and have lost 100 pounds, so a lot of the information presented was stuff I already knew. Nonetheless, I think it was a great reminder of what I need to do to stay where I am. Overall, I really enjoyed the audiobook and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to lose weight or who has already done it and wants to keep the weight off.

Nailed down

This book gives very distinct rules that are attainable. And it's not just a set of don'ts. The author gives a lot of practical suggestions for handling food. He also is intuitive in explaining hurdles that you may face with practical suggestions.

Ok Read, Abridged

Yes. I also bought the e-book for this title, and the audiobook helped me speed through the first part--the explanation of the rules.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Skinny Rules?

I suppose. Bob is great on TV being himself, but when he reads an audiobook, it sounds like he's READING. Very stiff.

Could you see The Skinny Rules being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

?

Any additional comments?

This audiobook is best used IN CONJUNCTION WITH the book itself. It doesn't include any of the menus or recipes, which is essentially the follow-through of the rules. I found it helpful to listen to the audiobook to get through the Rules quickly to move on to the How To part.
