From Publishers Weekly:
Often putting her personal health at risk, celebrity Univision journalist Collins has tried everything in her long and constant struggle to lose weight and maintain it, from the latest and most popular diets and medications to special and costly treatments like acupuncture and body wraps. Having maintained her weight for over a year now, she tells her personal story and shares her hard-earned tips for winning the weight-loss battle. This is a frank, humorous, and informative book on a topic of great interest to most Hispanic/ Latina women. Collins draws examples from her personal experience to point out the dangers, myths, and general misinformation that prevail about weight loss. Along the way, she also gives readers a glimpse into the world of Univision, sharing stories about the personal weight management programs of other well-known personalities such as Jorge Ramos, Maria Elena Salinas, and Don Francisco. Even though she uses several sayings and colloquialisms from her native Mexico, she often provides explanatory comments for the non-Mexican reader. The easy and nutritious sample diets and recipes use measurements in kilos and liters, but many recent Hispanic immigrants will be familiar with these measuring systems. Highly recommended for all public libraries and bookstores. Yolanda Cuesta, Sacramento, CA
