Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight has revolutionized the way Indians think about food and their eating habits. Funny, easy to read and full of great advice, it argues that we should return to our traditional eating roots (yes, ghee is good for you), nutrients are more important than calories (cheese over biscuits) and, most importantly, the only way to lose weight is to keep eating. In the ten-year anniversary edition of this classic, read about the simple steps you can take towards maintaining a healthy and proper diet and understanding your body and its nutritional requirements.

Most of the book is common sense, what I learnt in school and/or what my mom tells me (yells at me would be more accurate), like, eat right at the right time, eat 'real' food, have the local cuisine, never skip breakfast, don't be nocturnal, tune in and listen to your body, etc. Still, its good to be reassured when the whole world tells you otherwise. I particularly liked the section about diet myths.
I did learn a few new things from this book. Will I follow the 4 priciples or consult a dietician? No. However, I will make some lifestyle changes - wake up early in the morning, reduce caffeine and eat traditional Tamil cuisine as much as possible (that's my local food).
One thing I absolutely loved about this book is that I can now have my cheese guilt-free. Not that I was ever worried about it, but caring health-freak friends insisting that I avoid cheese every time I pick it does make me weary. Earlier, I used to say, "I don't care how many calories it has. I like it, I eat it. Its also good for health." Now I can lecture them on how no food is fattening by itself, you just have to know when to have it.
I'd recommend this book for people interested in nutrition. I have no idea about the weight loss promise. If you don't understand Hindi, the book could get a little annoying. ( )
