review 1: If you are looking for a quick fix to lose lots of weight really fast, this is not the book for you. There is a quick start plan that is designed to help you lose up to 6-10 pounds in 2 weeks as a jump start to the diet. I really would not call this a diet. This book is more of a way to change your life to become more healthy, with weight loss included. This book is designed not only to help you lose weight, but to keep it off because it is designed to help you alter your life habits. There are 5 habits for you to add, 5 bad habits to break, and 5 healthy habits to adopt. The information in this book is out there. Most of you may know some of this and some of it you want. Who really has the time to look all that stuff and figure out what to do and not to do? I don't. All t... morehe information I need is right in this book. This diet is not for everyone, it is not difficult, but you have to be willing to start making changes in your life and continue to stick with. There are no counting calories, no food scales, etc. It trains you an easier way to track what you eat. There are some recipes, but not a lot. You don't have to deprive yourself, but you do have to make smart choices. If you are looking for the secret pill or diet to make you lose lots of weight and not have to give up the way you are living now, surprise, there isn't one out there. If you are looking a way to motivate yourself, help find control, and some good tips, this is the book for you. I just finished the book and I plan to start my changes next week. Fingers crossed for success. Good luck to you as well!
review 2: I read it for basic nutritional advice, and I expected the venerable Mayo Clinic to produce a high-quality book.I was wrong. Yes, there is some good nutritional info, but too much of the book is filler. In some areas, it seemed like Dr. Phil was the author. Topics like "motivation" and "commitment"--important, yes--were uninteresting. It's stuff we all know. Stick to your goals, stick to the game plan. If I wanted that advice, I would've bought a self-help book. less
