Kami Gray learned 20 years ago how to lose weight and keep it off. In The Denim Diet, she presents a simple list of foods to eat and foods to avoid, grouping them into 16 easy-to-remember habits. The Denim Diet is more than a book, though; it's an inspiring philosophy of healthy eating and living that gets people talking about what's on "the list" and what's not. It explains how to lose weight and stay healthy without gimmicks, starving yourself, eating low-carb, counting points, popping pills, buying mail-order food, going under the knife, getting hypnotized, or making a bigger mess of the planet. Included are a 25-page section of gourmet "healthy diet, healthy planet" recipes, a one-page grocery store list for packing the pantry, and a three-page resource guide including a directory of Internet sites.
