5.0 out of 5 stars Good Motivation for those who are having trouble getting started..., July 1, 2005

This review is from: My Big Fat Greek Diet: How a 467 Pound Physician Hit His Ideal Weight and You Can Too (Audio CD)

I found Dr Nick's story to be a source of great motivation. He chronicles what it was like to be a 467 pound hard working and productive Doctor, the paradox he faced between his profession and his patients, the challenges and health risks of living an obese life and the constant frustration of trying to do something about it. But Dr Nick was able to create a plan for himself that has helped to fuel my own efforts with weight loss and fitness. I needed a boost in my recovery and started looking for good material to keep me going. I stumbled up this book and was so jazzed to find such a success story that I could relate to. Dr Nick is very candid about his situation and the way he opens up his journey will help raise the success for others who struggle to overcome obesity and motivates on the how and why to make a change in your own life. It is not easy to come to terms with morbid obesity and that fear can keep you from your own recovery. Witnessing Dr Nick go through this process and kick start his program will take the sting out of it and get you thinking, planning and working your own program. I get very charged up when I listen to this audio book and have enjoyed listening to it several times. I plan to purchase the printed book as well to help me continue to fine tune my own program and build on the excitement of experiencing this success story. It will make you want to get busy! ;-) I have heard that 10% of obese people who lose their weight will keep it off for more than a year. This book will help raise that number. I was also very please to see that Dr Nick has an equally motivating website [...]

I listened to the audio version twice and parts of it a third time! It is so refreshing, after having every "let's get skinny" book out there, to read (or hear) someone that talks honestly about what it was to be fat and how they conquered it! Realistic thoughts and solutions. Thanks Dr. Nick!

I found this book (audio CD) to be funny when it needed to be; serious when it needed to be; and full of challenging ideas about weight loss.

Dr. Nick knows his stuff and shares ideas that will work for almost anyone. He knows because he did it himself.

I highly recommend this item to anyone considering a weight loss plan.
