3.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, but overly simplistic, February 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The 5 Reasons Why We Overeat: How to Develop a Long-Term Weight-Control Plan That's Right for You (Hardcover)
As the title says, Last divides overeaters into five categories. Personally, I have found it beneficial to know what makes me want to munch. Also, the book is realistic as it discusses overeating -- not necessarily eating a quart of ice cream at one sitting -- but making poor food choices. Last adds in personal anecdotes both relating to her own experiences and those of former patients.

The biggest drawback to the book for me were the remedies. After intriging me by discussing my "reason," Last gives overly simplistic problem-solving advice. For example, she suggests deep breathing for an anxious eater. Yeah, right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best diet book so far, May 2, 2005
This review is from: The 5 Reasons Why We Overeat: How to Develop a Long-Term Weight-Control Plan That's Right for You (Hardcover)
This is the best book I have ever read on weight loss. most diets just deal with the surface symptoms but Cynthia helped me deal with the root cause of my overeating which is boredom and now my diet is going very smoothly.
