Dr. Lang has found a charming way to explain scientifically how your metabolism can work for and against you. Written as a breezy novel she has skillfully broken down the workings of why diets do and don't work. She includes a plan that guarantees results by encouraging you to change ineffective eating habits and replace them with a better way of eating and living as well. The book is a blend of science and human behavior and causes you to really look at how you are living. She takes the iron fist in velvet glove approach and doesn't scold for mistakes but firmly encourages success. A must read for anybody who craves intelligent advice on creating new, better informed lifestyle choices.

This book is really different. It was an easy read, not a slog, and I really learned a lot. Most of the ideas I had about weight loss principles were kind of vague. This book actually clarified things for me.

I've never read a diet book that gave practical suggestions about how to go about changing my eating habits. This one is full of practical help, for example the idea of collecting neighborhood menus and pre-selecting items so that when I'm in a rush, I can order super fast or have someone else do it for me. That way I can bring food to meetings and not wait until I'm starving when the meetings are finally over.

Reading this book has made me realize that losing weight actually might be possible!

i am just amazed. what a monumental task for a doctor to sit down and just write. i am 58 year old female, i consider myself educated, and up to date with all the medical reports about food and health issues. we eat generally what is considered to be very healthy food. i have had problems with my waight since i turned 40. i have tried many diets, they all work, just for a while and than you gain all that you lost and then some.this book gave me the knowlege, and tools to deal with my waight issues, not just words. since i started reading the book i have lost just about 10 pounds, my energy levels have gone up, and i am getting a lot of complements as to how rested i look!!!!!!!!!
"thank you doctor lang"
