Cathy Nonas RD author of "Outwit Your Weight" recognizes that everyone is different. In her book she gives a number of tips, tricks and tools to help you lose weight and get fit.

The key according to Cathy is to incorporate weightloss strategies that are simple to do and will work best for you.

The book opens with a section on determining your individual fat traps. Are you a chronic snacker, nightime eater, weekend binger?
Do you skip meals, eat from stress, have all or nothing thinking? Once you have identified your weaknesses (and there may be more than one!) Cathy gives you over 200 tools to pick and chose from.

Tools are simple techniques you can incorporate into your daily life that will help you manage your eating weaknesses and achieve your weight loss goals. Tools aren't one size fit all!
She describes a variety of tools to help with your diet danger zones. If you don't like one tool - pick another!

Cathy includes fitness tools, mood tools, behavior and food tools. Many of these tools are fun to try and can add up in pounds lost. For example to teach yourself to slow down when eating, Cathy suggests you use chopsticks for a week. Or you can take a ten minute break in the middle of your meal.

The book also includes tons of recipes like Peanut Noodles with Chicken and Watercress, Garlicky shrimp in mustard sauce, Black Bean Burritos and Potato Chips! Cathy also addresses diet danger zones like holidays, fatigue, and lack of willpower.

The book is chock full of great ideas to incorporate in your life to help you get slim and trim!

This is one of the best weight loss books I've ever read (and I've read them all). It is clear and well-written, non-gimmicky, with great tips for every situation. If you want to lose weight and you think you've tried everything, this book is for you.

This is a wonderful book. It contains the most current research in the field of weight management in a format lay people can easily understand. Cathy, very courageously, does not offer a quick fix. She over and over demystifies the weight loss experience, and honors how difficult it is to change behavior and keep it changed. The overeating stories are an absolute hoot! I know I will recommend it to my clients and use it for myself.

How do you battle weight loss and maintenance? In her book "Outwit you Weight" Cathy Nonas provides 200 tools and tips to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

If you, like many people are concerned with the way you look and feel, this book will provide you many answers. In addition to tools, Cathy breaks down danger zones and physical fitness using real live examples. Healthy recipes are also provided.

"Outwit your Weight" is easy to read, well organized and full of facts and tips. Reading this book is like having a weight loss program at your fingertips. Definitely recommend.

This was the first weight/diet related book I ever read and it had quite an impact on me. This book offers useful information about how to eat and usefull tips on how to control impulses to overeat. I'm not saying that this book is the end-all to diet books but it has many helpfull tips and tidbits that can help anyone learn to eat a little healthier.

I agree with the 5 star reviews that this is the best weight loss book now on the market. My reservation is that this is therapy. You must be prepared to be completely honest with yourself, to journal about your feelings, and your relationship to food, and how and why you got in the fix you're in. The book opened a real can of worms for me, and did so for my sister, and neither of us was prepared to go so deeply into the issues. I guess that's why previous diets have failed us! If one is truly ready to do the work, this book is the only tool you will ever need. The approach is encouraging and gentle, but the emotional baggage that comes up can be difficult. I think this book would be most safely used in a support group.

I didn't like it...it didn't have enough writing space. I also didn't like any of the different types of journals, they seemed to be all over the map!

I've lost weight and kept it off using this method!
