The North Beach Diet

This was the best present at our family gathering! We read excerpts aloud all day and laughed and laughed! A great read for anyone who has ever tried any diet!

Finally here is a book that will appeal to almost everybody. I bought 20 of these to give a gifts and so far, everyone has loved it! The writer knows two things: how to eat and how to laugh. I am so tired of reading about how I dont eat right, I dont exercise right, I am going to get cancer from practically every move I make. This book just brings back fat, carbs, and and sandwiches them (no pun intended) between good laughs and wholesome homespun stories. I am sure that it will eventually be in the top 100 best-sellers. Everyone enjoy!

If that was a picture of the author of this book, who decided to finally let himself eat ... and eat ... and not try to exercise his monumental weight gain off ... Gosh, I miss food! Well,this book is some kind of guilty pleasure. Had to really fail at this diet due to health reasons. Still I do like a laid back, easygoing, man of substance .... And there are times I can't stand being a failure at this diet--just goes to show when there is a gym or two so close by I could practically crawl to it .... In any case, we all have to lighten up (pardon the expression) and laugh at ourselves once in a while. If you like your parody straight, you can't do much better than this book. Not once does this book let me down with any pathos, moaning or self-obsession. And yes, the real North Beach exists--bounded on the south by 71st Street, the North by Surfside, and Biscayne Point to the West--(actually a part of Miami Beach, Florida). Used to live there and that place abounds with Kim Bailey types and the women who love them.

This book is pure genius! Mr. Bailey does a masterful job of turning the entire diet craze inside out and he does so in such an entertaining way. I am very thankful for him and his humor. To those who think he he has gone too far, lighten up for crying out loud. Settle in with a bag of chips, some french onion dip, a coke and a box of tissue. Between bites you will be dabbing your eyes because you will be laughing so hard. Thank you for the North Beach Diet!

I've read the book. I enjoyed the book. I laughed so hard it hurt! :D Then found out that laughter causes weight loss. :( I bought 10 copies and will place them throughout stategic places around my personal universe. Remember...Eat and grow large with food. Thank you and Enjoy this delicious treat.
