Hey Jodi,
Well I was trying to be thread clean and put everything together but ended up erasing my response! I am not that bright sometimes.
Anyway, the point of my longwinded post was this...
There is only one way to lose fat.
All those books, good or bad, they all lead to the same thing.
Some trick you to do it, some do it by points, some do it by portions, some are just upfront about it, but in the end the deficit is all that does it.
So what you need to do is not worry about the different "methods" of fat loss, and just educate on what fat loss is. That way, after that, you can choose what method works best for Jodi.
For the record I do provide a program with the book if in need.

What I like about FLTS: It's NOT a diet. You can use your own diet and exercise plan, but fit it into a template Leigh lays out.
I also like that she has a nice clear way of explaining the real important points that are so often skipped (NEAT, actually measuring food).
I disliked (sorry Leigh, but I'm a type-A neurotic): Some grammar/typo/spelling things that it probably wouldn't have if it were published on paper and edited a bit more - this is NOT to take away from the information in it, it's my own pickiness...
Overall, it was good for me. It FINALLY drove home for me that little things add up. It's one thing to read it, but all the actual numbers / charts / examples really made me finally get that AHA moment. And so far, so good - I'm down 2# in less than a week of measuring and not eating one drop that I don't account for.
Now, having said that, I also made other changes (kicked out the remaining white carbs from my diet, which I've been meaning to do but just didn't quite do).
The other good thing is that if I stall-out, I have other things I can look at - types/frequencies of exercise and activity, the effects of cortisol, and other things in my diet I can tweak (measuring isn't the only thing she teaches).
I don't regret spending the $. Hope that helps!

Hey Bytsi,
I deeply apologize about the grammar. I actually did use a professional editor and lost a HUGE chunk on it. All major mistake have been fixed to the best of my ability (fat loss I know, grammar, not so much) but there is another edit coming and ALL books will be replaced once it fixed along with some extra to express my thanks to the readers and patience on the issue. Everyone who bought it will be getting a email on this soon
As for the rest I am glad you had some AHA moments, I have heard that a bit now and it is really nice to know the book is helping a lot of people take things back to the basics.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
