I *almost* did not buy this book because of that. What a mistake that would have been. Perhaps it factored into me not reading Slim by Design immediately. Darn, I wish I had (read it sooner)! Loved Dr. Wansink's first book, Mindless Eating, and quote from it regularly in work I do. Yes, that book may have been more relevant to individuals. And yes Slim by Design goes beyond the individual. That's what makes it an excellent book. Some reviewers say it was a rehash of the first book. There were discussions of studies from Mindless Eating however, it was that research - plus the continued research Wansink and his lab performs - that lead to this book.As a registered dietitian nutritionist and health coach working with clients on a daily basis, I see how environment plays a factor in health and weight management. Wansink identifies our food radius and five food zones where we likely spend the majority of our time eating or obtaining food: home, work, restaurants, grocery stores, and schools. Slim by Design outlines each area with in-depth discussion on the challenges and solutions. Each section ends with a scorecard - a way for the reader to complete a self-assessment. If I were looking at this book solely as a way to help me, the book would not be too relevant. I work from home (so the workplace section is not very helpful), don't have kids (ditto the school lunch room), and rarely eat out (since it's an occasional indulgence, I eat what I want). However, that's not why I bought the book. There's a much greater picture and Wansink outlines it beautifully. This is a book every registered dietitian nutritionist and health practitioner should own - especially if they're working in weight management.I also want to make note of Wansink's writing style. Some people take issue with his humor and light banter. Get over it. I love it. It keeps the book entertaining while being informative and educational. It was over five years ago when I heard Dr. Wansink speak at a conference. So many points I still remember because of his humor and style of speaking. That's what makes points stick...and why so many can remember so much from his writings.It's not about will power, it's about managing the environment...the many environments we face on a day-to-day basis. Be an advocate...for yourself, your clients/patients and others. Great tools in this book to help you do that. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars I loved Wansink's first book Mindless Eating and was looking forward ... *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2014* I loved Wansink's first book Mindless Eating and was looking forward to this one.While this had good information most of the book was focused on how to get your supermarket, local restaurant or school cafeteria to make changes that discourage mindless eating. I'm really not going to go talk to my local Trader Joe's or neighborhood cafe about this book. If I worked there it might be helpful I'm sure but I'm really not the person who goes into a business and tells them how to run it.In the end I was disappointed because I felt I didn't learn anything new that I hadn't learned in his first book and I would up skimming or skipping 3/4 of the book because it was about the restaurants, cafeterias and stores. I'd definitely recommend this book if that's your business but if you are looking for personal tips and information you're better off with his first book, Mindless Eating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Mindlessly eat less... *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014* This book will give you some great ideas how to "mindlessly" eat less in your daily life. Some of it focuses on activism (eg writing to your local restaurant and asking them to change their offerings), but the suggestions are simple and make sense (the restaurants will make more money by giving customers less food for less money). And even if you aren't ready for those steps, the rest will give you much food for thought.
