A "how to do" book and not just a "what to do" book.

A giggle with each turning page.
The yellow tinge, her snaps and the cute work of graphics add to the experience !
As very aptly said by her, " Been there, done that " she brings in a 'worth-trying' ray in the lives of those struggling with weight issues as the dieticians or the nutritionists who vouch for the same have less chances of BEING in the same bracket as us.
All in all, one should definitely lay their hands on this !

Kudos to the Serial Dieter I met through this book
I would like to thanks Kalli Purie for writing this book!
It shows her efforts to loose those kilos and love towards the food.
She has also used some really scrumptious words to describe whatever food that she ate
I must also salute to her will power and zeal she â??â??investedâ??â?? to shed those kilos
This gave me strength and a hope for losing weight
Not everything in the book is advised to bring into practice, but there are some really impo...

Fantastic Book
I am also a big foodie. But it is tough to give Kali Puri a competition in eating and as well as in dieting. Hats off to her for her serious effort of choosing this subject as her first book. Really loved it :)

YOU ARE THE HEROINE
actually talks about the psychological aspects of having a
body that you don't want... Can't be compared at all to all
those books written by professional diet doctors...they are
so dry! They just don't get it. Kalli Purie's book is like
reading a fiction, fun and full of action, where you are
the heroine.
