Press Pause Before You Eat by Dr. Linda Mintle is definitely different from my normal fare. I don't tend to read self-help books unless they're of the financial sort so I wasn't entirely comfortable with the tone of the book at first. In the end, it was quite readable and easy to apply to one's life. The book was sort of an interesting mix of ideas. I haven't read any diet books before, but most of them probably don't focus on God as much as this one did. It was insightful, but it ran a little long and did come right up to the brink of being preachy at some points. I'd recommend it to anyone who was looking to reprogram their eating habits and wasn't hostile to religion playing a role in that change. ( )

An interesting mix of advice, scientific research and anecdotes make this a very readable book. In addition, the pace of the book was good and it followed a logical progression that seemed to cover a range of topics that lead the reader to (over) eat. I also liked the "thoughts to watch out for" which made it more readable and gave the reader something to look for. That said, I ffound it to be condescending at times and made assumptions that may or may not be true of most readers. I did not find the Chirstian aspects of this book to be offensive or overbearing, though I am not religious myself. It might have made me pause before selecting this to read had I known of the author's leanings. I might recommend this to other readers but I'm not sure it's the most relevant on the topic ( )

As it often happens, the title of the book says it all - the actual content is just watering down of the title premise. Don't bother reading. ( )

Not as helpful as I hoped. I didn't get much out of this book and have since passed it on to someone else who was interested.

Before I started reading this book I was not aware that it was a Christian diet book. And I am Jewish, so this could be a problem. I was captivated by the title of the book and thought that it could be a good approach.
So obviously I don't really relate to the book from the Christian point of view, but there was still value to the book if you replace the Christian outlook in your mind with something related to whatever faith you have/are. From that perspective it was still of value. It had some points I guess. I imagine that a Christian would find much more value in reading a book like this.
