I really like this book. It approached weight as the symptom of deeper issues. Addressing and overcoming those issues is what needs to happen. Your typical diet fails in the long run because it only changes what you eat. Not WHY you eat. If you run to food for comfort or emotional support you won't stick to diets when trouble comes around. This book is helping me to get real, face facts and turn it all over to God. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed my eating habits completely!, March 14, 2006

This review is from: Lose It for Life (Hardcover)

I had been trying to lose weight for 6 years, after gaining 20 lbs. I just could not get motivated to stick to a diet. I bought this book and something in it clicked with me. I've lost the 20 lbs. and have been maintaining my weight. This book addresses the fact that all overeating is emotional eating. It teaches you to get at the source of the reasons you turn to food. I bought the journal as well. It really helped to keep a record of what I ate. I recommend this book to anyone who's previously had a hard time losing weight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Same diet, different spin, July 29, 2005

This book promotes low glycemic eating and exercise.

The big difference is the spiritual aspect. It addresses the rebellious eating, emotional eating, etc that many other books talk about but gives Biblical and spiritual answers. I am not a very religious person and did not find the book too "preachy".

I bought the workbook as well. It has more Biblical references and I found it more confusing. However, the parts that weren't King James preaching, were very helpful.

I have lost weight on this when other similar plans have not worked. Maybe the spiritual "holistic" approach is the best for me. I have been able to remain focused. It is slow but steady. I will take what I can get!
