The Best Health Book I’ve Read in the Past Year

I’m sorry all, for the first time in 18 months, I can’t blog tonight. See, I picked up a book this afternoon and have not been able to put it down since, save to dye Easter eggs with the kiddos (why oh why do they make those dye tablets to look so much like candy?). I must finish it. And I will in a couple of hours.

It is, by far, the best heath/fitness/nutrition book I have read in the past year. And I’ve read a lot of them. Probably most of them that have come out (thanks PR people!). A little teaser: it’s the latest book out by a woman I’ve long had a love-hate relationship with. I’m definitely back in girl crush land.

I’ll give you my review tomorrow and – even better – I have a free copy to give to one of you. If I were Oprah I’d give you all a copy, it’s that good. I’m still trying to wrangle you a discount.

  2. Seriously, Charlotte! Enquiring minds want to know! 😉

  3. oooh you KNOW we are all waiting eagerly eagerly!!!

  4. OK, that was the most effective tease I’ve ever read.

    I don’t generally like health books so the fact that I can not WAIT to find out what it is only because you did such an awesome job piquing my curiosity.

    And, sigh–you, like mizfit, manage to do quite well at writing interesting posts when you’re Not Posting.

  5. I can’t wait to find out what it is!!! Don’t keep us waiting too long! 🙂

  6. Come on! You are leaving us hanging!

    Charlotte,
    I’m dying…what is it?!? Why do you torture us so?

  9. Could if be my best friend Jillian Michaels’ Mastering your Metabolism book!?!?!

    I have always been squarely in crush-land (of course, I’ve only known of her existence for about… 2 months, so the bloom hasn’t had time to fade from the ol’ rose).

    CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT IT IS

  10. I heard Jillian had a new book out, and I saw a clip from her on TV yesterday (I think?).

    I’ve been doing the 30 day shred lately and I’m seriously loving her!

  11. If you think so highly of it, I might buy it.

    But I’m supercurious now.

  12. You’re a total tease! And I hate having to wait!!!!!

  13. Being the voracious reader that you are, this must be quite a book!

    Can’t wait!

  14. I wholeheartedly concur with Crabby McSlacker. 🙂 I don’t read health books often but I’m super curious now!

  15. I THOUGHT I saw a new Jillian Michaels book at Borders yesterday! Could that be it?

  16. I am betting the new Jillian Michael’s book. But I kind of cheated by looking at the new releases on Amazon.

    Naturally Thin started off well for me, but the ending wasn’t so great.

  17. I bet it’s Dara Torres’ new book: Age is Just a Number or whatever her new book is called!

  18. You are SNEAKY. Looking forward to it!

    That last picture had me stifling laughter (am at work).

    Like everyone else, inquiring minds want to know!!!!!! I love, love, love fitness reads! There is always something new to learn!!!

    By the way, OMG, that picture is so funny & cute all at the same time!

  20. Is the author Suzanne Somers?

  21. Marilu Henner’s new book?

    Those Easter dye tablets look like sweetarts or something yummy.
