5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God for this book. It's great.
This book is the real thing. The author did what few people can do, lose weight and keep it off for good. It's a whole new idea about how to get thinner. No b.s. here. Honest and simple. There's a lot about simple nutrition, but no dieting. I like it because I can eat anything, and often, all day long. Chumley doesn't make me do heavy exercise, either. I started...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite my cup of tea.
I like the concept of making weight loss more of a spiritual journey, but Chumley's religious approach is a little more than I can accept. I think if you are really at rock bottom regarding your weight, or if you are quite religious to start with, this book is more likely to be helpful to you. On the plus side, it is simple to understand, concise and well-written. Not...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God for this book. It's great., March 3, 2001
This review is from: The Joy of Weight Loss (Paperback)
This book is the real thing. The author did what few people can do, lose weight and keep it off for good. It's a whole new idea about how to get thinner. No b.s. here. Honest and simple. There's a lot about simple nutrition, but no dieting. I like it because I can eat anything, and often, all day long. Chumley doesn't make me do heavy exercise, either. I started just walking 10 to 15 minutes a day and that was enough and I could do it. Most important, this book brought me closer to God and helped me put my beliefs into action. I'm losing weight with it. Thank God. I think this book can help you too. Give it a try. I also like his website

This review is from: The Joy of Weight Loss (Paperback)
This is a great book, easy reading, inspiring, and motivational. You can't ask for a better way to lose weight than with God. It's so great, in fact, that a friend and I have started a group at yahoogroups, based on the book...

I would recommend this book to anyone that has lost and gained hundreds of pounds! I googled 'spiritual weightloss'... and this is what i got!!! I still follow the eating plans (food pyramid).. in this book and find the spiritual information/suggestions to make the difference between this...and just another diet book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, February 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Joy of Weight Loss (Paperback)
I think with anything if you apply the principles you will be able to reach your goal.

This book helps you lay out the much needed principles of losing weight and when I followed it...I lost the weight!

If you start back your same eating habits then this book or no other will help you keep the weight off!

I know I have to start back getting in shape!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book, July 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Joy of Weight Loss (Paperback)
This is a good book but I personally could not lose weight this way and actually gained weight eating less but more often. I think people like me with a very slow metabolism are more likely to benefit from other types of weight loss methods. This is the way I finally lost fifty pounds and I have kept it off for about five years now and I wrote my own book about it! The Number One Secret To Permanent Weight Loss: The Last Book on Dieting and Weight Loss You Will Ever Need.
