The Reunion Diet: Lose Weight and Look Great at Your Reunion and Beyond

In The Reunion Diet, Lisa and co-author Sandra J. Gordon offer a practical, self-help guide showing readers how to set specific weight-loss and other lifestyle goals and achieve them within an allotted time frame. At the book’s core is a diet plan that is calibrated by calorie levels according to how much time readers have to lose weight before their reunion. The book also includes a last-minute diet plan for those who may be reading the book without much time remaining before their reunion, whether they’ve got 10, 20, 30 pounds or more to lose in a limited time period.

“This book will make you look so good that you’ll start attending class reunions for schools you didn’t actually attend.”

— Dave Barry, author, davebarry.com

“‘Writing a book about getting ready for your reunion seemed so shallow,’ Dorfman says. But she tracked down about 200 people via Facebook and realized there are all types — class reunions, family reunions, even workplace reunions. The authors present diet plans for the amount of time left before your reunion (one year, six months and one month). There is a plan for everyone. Dorfman came up with a slogan. ‘Life is a series of reunions,’ she says. ‘We see people from our past every day.’”
