The home has six rooms including a living room, kitchen, library/office, master bedroom, bathroom and child s bedroom.

User Ratings and Reviews 5 Stars Joy s Life Diet This book has a pratical approach to making better food choices that fits into a busy lifestyle and your spouse/children will enjoy. It s not a diet as much as it is an educational look at what we should eat to make ourselves feel energized. What a great reminder of the good whole foods that are waiting to be rediscovered. 5 Stars Joys Life Diet book Received book in perfect condition within agreed upon time. Also excellent book. Thank you for very good service 4 Stars A very structured plan. Joy s book tells you exactly how to lose the weight, what to eat and when to eat, and it s full of great stories of real people that have done it, recipes, hope and inspiration, but I lost interest after a couple of weeks. I tend to lose focus or get overwhelmed when I have too many rules to follow. I think it would work for someone that wants a structured plan, but I love to cook and eat and try new things and I just couldn t give that up. There are some yummy recipes included, though! I think each one of us has to experiment to find what will work for our individual personality, and for me, it was just to eat smaller portions and try to work in a walk or a bit of exercise each day. I was able to drop 20 pounds in a few months that way, without the panic of giving up the things I love. 5 Stars It Really is Possible to Lose Weight without Starving I don t watch TV I know, horror of horrors, how can somebody openly admit that in this day and age so I didn t know who Joy Baurer was until I picked up this book. But that didn t really surprise me, one day I ran into somebody called Dora the Explorer in the Mall in Portland, Oregon. She had a gaggle of kids around her and when I asked who she was, several of them wondered what planet I was from. I m saying this here so that you won t think I m being influenced by someone on the tele. This is not just a book about diets and dieting, it s a book about changing your life, though she does give you some of the standard advice you ll find in other diet books, like eating on schedule and pre-planning your meals, she also gives you advice I d not seen anywhere else, like making a playlist and playing them of songs you find inspirational. She also advises you to find a diet buddy, that s a great idea. But any diet book will fall flat if the recipes aren t up to snuff. If you feel like you re eating cardboard, you re not going to stick to it. If you feel hungry ten minutes after a meal, you re not going to stick too it either. True, like Joy says, you ve gotta have a plan and you ve gotta stick to it, but the food has to be tasty and you have to feel full after your meal and that feeling s gotta last for more than fifteen minutes and that s where this book shines. Dr. Bauer will help you take the weight off without you feeling like you re starving yourself. 4 Stars Joy helps shed pounds sensibily Joy Bauer, MS.R.D. book, Joy s Life Diet is just that,a diet this reader can live with. Joy s Diet Plan is a sensible approach to weight loss. Joy helps readers to learn the important aspects of eating healthy. Her weight loss plan makes sense and includes all food groups. By following the easy to understand daily plan this reader was able to shed the extra pounds that were the most difficult to lose. I also love the recipes that made meal planning easier. For me, this book was a winner! Buy/More Info
