The authors suggest using the EATALL(TM) way will help wean your kids from junk food if you let them choose their own snacks. Why didn’t I think of this before? Because given their own freewill of what to eat, what sane child would choose potato chips over nut paté?
It wasn’t until I reached the end of the book that I realized what the authors meant when stating that the EATALL(TM) way is not a diet. While Warburg has studied molecular biology, his passion seems to be intellectual property law. He dedicates nearly a full page to the proper use of the term EATALL(TM), explaining in more detail and clarity how to use the EATALL(TM) phrase, than how to use the EATALL(TM) plan. This probably explains why I am so angered by this book. With 350+ references to the EATALL(TM) way, it reads like a marketing tool to brand the EATALL(TM) way into our brains. It’s all about coining a phrase to cash in.
EATALL(TM) seems to say it is the BE ALL and END ALL to the serious epidemic of obesity and excess weight in our society and once the EATALL(TM) way consumes our collective consciousness, it will be licensed to Mr. Christie and General Mills to be repackaged in 100-calorie allotments of satisfying snack-packs of crackers and nutty butters.
If you are looking for a serious solution to the problem of excess weight and obesity, Snack Yourself Slim is simply a joke. But if you just want to snack yourself silly, I promise it will BEATALL. No pun intended.

She complains about "preparing snacks all day". What's to prepare for a half cup of cottage cheese and a cracker? a piece of whole wheat toast? a piece of bread with a slice of cheese on it? a piece of fruit? a piece of leftover chicken? a spoonful of peanut butter? The real time consuming deal is preparing a full blown dinner, altho it can yield leftovers. maybe.
what's she preparing for snacks? fancy hor d'oeuvres? little danish finger sandwiches?
This complaint made her sound a bit dense, when it came to common sense. which she abandoned as she escalated her assault on the book into near hysteria.

you sound like a fat miserable person. Just wanted to let you know that your article put me off to anything you would ever write in the future. There is a way to critique people without bashing them.
I've lost so much weight doing it and it teaches you portion control so you can eat whatever you want to, but keep it within the 100 calorie range every hour. That's what skinny people do, and that's why they say they can eat WHATEVER they want, it's just you eat a huge portion and they don't. GET IT NOW?

For a food addict as I am, this "diet" or plan is perfect for me. It takes no time to do the snacks and I know that in 45-55 minutes, I can have more. Cutting down portions to this extent of 100 cals per hour, helps the stomach to "shrink" and get used to smaller portions. I do interspace it with high and low calorie days and I seem to lose more from the high calorie days, but perhaps that's just me, as dieting is so individual anyway. I put everything on the computer and I'm very happy with this approach. I have learned from this plan to be aware, i.e., mindful eating, to be patient, to have better understanding on calorie content and portion control and that 100 calories will satisfy a person's (mine) to overeat."Each to his own, said the old woman as she kissed the cow." (old southern saying) OH, by the way, I think you learn more about any approach if you try it for more than only one day. In this plan, you need to record your daily weigh, daily fruit and vegetable intake and other details as per individual need.
