Huck has inspired me to change through his common sense, straight-forward approach. He's been through laa I'm going through and communicates it so I know he's talking about what I'm experiencing. So far, I'm down 30 pounds.

I say "Uncle Mike", because this book makes me feel right at home as if "Uncle Mile , is speaking just to me. He hits the nail on the head and does it with his usual humor. I recommend this book to all who want to know the truth. It is an easy read with solid info. thanks Uncle Mike.
By X. Pert
In this book the former governor of Arkansas discusses the diet and exercise plan that his doctor and team at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences developed for him, and how he lost 100 pounds. That is not the point of the book, though. He is not promoting his plan, or telling readers that they need to follow his plan. Rather, he takes the approach that people who need to lose weight know it, and often even know what to do to lose that weight. He does offer tips and advice throughout the book (such as eating small portions of fresh foods and getting adequate exercise), but his book is primarily about overcoming the inertia and influences that prevent people from starting or maintaining the life-long changes that are needed to lose weight and maintain a healthful weight. That is the meaning of the "12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits" of the subtitle. The chapter titles provide a good outline of the book and its advice: Stop Procrastinating, Making excuses, Sitting on the couch, Ignoring signals from your body, Listening to destructive criticism, Expecting immediate success, Whining, Making exceptions, Storing provisions for failure, Fueling with contaminated food, Allowing food to be a reward, and Neglecting your spiritual health. He says, and I agree, that you can skip the last chapter if you wish. The book is well written, is filled with entertaining stories of his own experiences, is a light and easy read, but provides support and inspiration for those who have trouble committing to a new routine. It is also affordable. I recommend buying and keeping a copy to reread when you want some extra inspiration.
