I hated this book. I'm giving it three stars because it might be me hating self-help stuff, but this was not really what i expected. It's a feel good book and doesn't really give you specific tips or anything really weight watchers related. waste of money in my opinion.

Very good weightloss book September 3, 2006 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
The price is right and the information is very eye-opening. I have read most of the book and it made me feel that weight loss was possible. It was easy reading and I liked how they had it structured with the different myths of lossing weight. This is probably a re-reader to keep you focused on what is important!!! I highly recommend this book to anyone that has weight to loose whether it is a lot of weight or just a little bit of weight. I'm now lost almost 40lbs since mid-February. I am a real reader and believer in this book. I still have a ways to go, but will keep pulling this book out and others to keep motivated and ontrack. You'll want to get other books to supplement this book. And keep you on track. Best wishes on improving your life!!!! And health!!!!
Everything You Already Knew But Didn't Want to be Told August 29, 2006 12 out of 18 found this review helpful
You can forget the herbs, supplements, enzymes, and stress and fat blockers. The few prescription diet pills that work have side effects worse than the cure. If there is anything easy about weight control why do we have record obesity and more and more gastric bypass surgery? The low fat and low carb diets are just gimmicks akin to the grapefruit, boiled egg, cabbage soup and drinking man's diets. These diets may work short term, but they're not substainable. How many grapefruit can you eat and for how long? Bottom line, it's all about calories in - calories out, regardlesss of what you consume to get the calories. Losing requires a calorie deficit, more calories out than in. EXERCISE! An OK book, but really a 200+ page solicitation to join Weight Watchers.
