Product Description
Every day millions of dieters go hungry in the name of weight loss. But the truth is that while skipping meals and starving yourself will make you tired, crabby, and hungry, it won’t make you one pound lighter. That’s why renowned nutritionist Keri Glassman wants you to ruin your appetite with snacks. Craving a creamy snack between breakfast and lunch? Have one. Need the energy a sweet or salty snack brings toward the end of the workday? Go ahead. Because if you want to be more energetic, feel younger, and lose weight, you have to eat more.
Studies show that people who snack when they’re hungry feel more satisfied and consume fewer calories overall than those who don’t. Unlike dieters who are ravenous between meals, snackers eat when their bodies—not the clock—tell them to, so they’re less likely to overeat at mealtimes. Snacking wisely—on nutrient-dense foods like the delicious options in this book—keeps you feeling totally satisfied all day long.
In The Snack Factor Diet, Glassman reveals how snacking helps:
• Keep your metabolism revved
• Maintain high energy levels
• Slow the aging process
• Put an end to hunger-related mood swings
• Eliminate sugar cravings
With an easy-to-follow menu plan, delicious recipes, and more than a hundred sweet, creamy, crunchy, and salty snacks to choose from, The Snack Factor Diet takes the deprivation out of dieting. You can eat the foods you crave while you lose weight and feel great.

 Snack factor makes munching a must!, 2007-07-26
I really wanted to love Keri Glassman's, "The Snack Factor Diet". Glassman writes in an easy to follow style and the book is packed with information. And who wouldn't love to snack several times a day. However, there were many things I don't like about plan.
Glassman is a good writer and she is very easy to understand. She shares a lot of good nutritional information in this 244 page book. But I felt her overall plan would be hard to follow. The plan begins with a 3 day cleanse. This includes dandelions, cucumbers, all you can eat celery stalks, lean meat and lemon water. Did someone say STRICT DIET! To be fair however, the cleanse is optional and designed to blast away your cravings etc.
The "real" diet is better but restrictive. Though she blasts low carb diets in her book. Her book is pretty low carb. She calls potatos, rice, cereal, pasta etc. starches and you are limited to one or two a day at breakfast depending on your weight!
A typical day on the plan might include milk, fiber cereal, and walnuts for breakfast, shrimp salad with avocado and dressing for lunch, chicken breast with veggies and a little fat for dinner. And two snacks.
The book focuses on eating snacks each day and though Glassman lists a lot of snacks, I personally felt the snacks were not necessarily optimal choices. For on the go snacking she recommends for example cottage cheese and yogurt. These items need to be refridgerated so how on the go is this?
Many of her snack choices seem unbalanced. Two or three slices of bacon or two turkey meatballs. I really think that selecting a protein and a carb for each snack is what will keep one full and content to the next meal. Some of her choices were strictly protein or carb and fat etc.
Glassman also wants you to keep a food journal and discusses the importance of exercise and managing stress. She advises drinking lemon water instead of using fake sweeteners and she gives extensive nutrition information and simple recipes. She does not give nutrition information on her menus. Glassman does a great job of explaining her plan and you can elect to plan your own meals around the information she gives or follow set menus.
Overall I think it's a restrictive plan but if you don't mind only one starch a day, you may want to give it a munch.

 Common Sense Approach, 2007-05-17
I saw the author on TV and I was impressed with what she was saying as it relates to dieting. I was more impressed with her book. I have been on her plan for about a month and I see results without sacrificing too much. I have reduced my portions and I am convinced that's all anyone has to do to loose weight and maintain. I am now comfortable with smaller portions and I still eat what I normally like with just a few rules. Glassman is a nutritionist and I feel she is passionate about nutrition and that makes a big difference when you read her book. She has you use a scale of of 1-10 to touch basis with how you are feeling once you eat -- something I never did. I usally ate until it hurts and then I felt really bad. Slow down, read the book and learn some great principles to live by.

Easiest diet ever!, 2007-05-08
This book is great! I've reached my goal weight and keeping it off has not been hard. This book taught me to change my outlook on food and to listen to my body. It even introduced me to new foods with all the different recipes provided. There are so many great ideas on meals and snacks, that I planned out my weeks of meals so that I'd have a perfect variety and never get bored. This book was so easy to read and I learned lessons I know I'll use for the rest of my life.
