It's interesting to note that all the positive reviews on this site come from around Brisbane, Australia. What a coincidence that Graham Park also comes from Brisbane, Australia. You can draw your own conclusions.
This book is nothing more than an infomercial for the weight loss program Mr Park is selling. There is no information in the book that is not well documented in almost every discussion on weight loss. 'Eat less, exercise more', oh I almost forgot, take vitamin supplements, and guess what, Mr Park sells those as well. So what are the seven 'Secrets'?
1. The weight loss industry is built on repeat business, (who would have thought!)
2. Synthetic food is not the answer (eat real food, not something out of a packet, now we are getting somewhere)
3. Surgery is always dangerous (don't have bariatric surgery, it might kill you)
4. No more miracle cures please (weight loss pills don't work, yes we know that)
5. Food is not the enemy (learn to eat the right things in the correct portions, ok)
6. Exercise won't do it. (food intake is more important than exercise, the only thing he says that is
of any real value, the exercise industry has us all brainwashed, I agree).
7. You do not need to be on diets forever (see Point 4. above)
So that's it. No need to buy the book now. You won't learn any more than this, and of course lots of information on how to buy into Mr Parks' weight loss program at $300 a month and how important 'supplements' are, that he also sells.
I was well and truly ripped off with the purchase of this book. $24.95 I will never see again.
Perhaps Mr Park should have added an eighth 'Secret'.
SECRET 8 - People in the weight loss industry write books pretending to give advise when they are really just trying to flog their weight loss program.
Don't waste your money.

So you see the dramatic picture of author and make the assumption that he is going to share the secrets of his success with you. Well, not really. This book contains some interesting information but not anything shocking about the diet industry itself. I think we all know that it exists mainly to separate us from our money whether we lose weight or not. The kicker to this book was at the end. When you get to the end you discover that the author will be glad to share exactly how he lost all that weight and will help you develop a personalized plan...For $300 a month. $300 a month after you take a battery of blood tests. Don't buy this book expecting to receive specific informaiton that will help you lose weight and keep it off like the author did. In that respect the book is misleading. His diet plan probably does work but this is a review of the book which in the end only leads you to his website. $300 a month for a diet and weightloss plan almost makes it seem as if Mr. Park is part of that diet industry he disparages.

I bought this book in hopes of finding a new direction to take with dieting. The book spends chapters and chapters giving self-congratulatory teasers about the wonderful program that will really, really work. Within these chapters the author also derides other diet programs "exposing" the shocking money-hungry diet industry. When you finally get to the end all ready to see what this great new direction should be...it turns out that the entire book was a commercial for the author's diet program. That's right, a commercial for which I paid good money--boy, do I feel foolish! Don't make the same mistake I did, pass up this expensive infomercial.

7 Secrets The Weight Loss Industry Will Never Tell You
I commented on someone elses review but really felt the need to do my own - I warn people against purchasing this "Brochure" - if you are interested in the program just go straight the website and save your money because the book is a blatant way for the author to make more money - I wouldn't touch this program purely because of his lack of integrity. I have read many many weight loss books and have never been so angry with any one of them - this is the first review I have written, in the hope of saving at least one person from purchasing this ridiculous rubbish posing as some sort of "new information". What an insult to all the briiliant people in the industy who write honest books, giving true information that they believe to be effective, Graham Park behaves as if he has found the "secret" WHAT A JOKE. Save your money.You can find my copy at the tip for FREE.

I wish I had read this book 15 years ago, when I began to struggle with my weight in 1995. I have tried absolutely every trick and tip out there including diet pills, shakes, meal replacements, weight watchers and nothing has ever given me a permanent solution until now. Graham Park's book has given me a real perspective into the weight loss industry that I have struggled in for many years. He has confirmed why all of the pills, shakes and ridiculous diets didn't work. I feel like it is being affirmed that many of the weight loss industry's offerings are not going to really help you long term. I have been a gym goer for many years, but without the right healthy eating, it is just not possible to maintain a healthy and desirable weight. Now I eat foods that I know are good for me, with a focus on protein and avoiding processed foods.

Graham Park's '7 Secrets the weight loss industry will never tell you' is a great book which simplifies the myths and facts of the weight loss industry. With years of experience in the health and wellbeing industry and his own significant weight loss (which has been maintained for years), Graham has demonstrated an educated knowledge of the industry, with extensive insights from other professional health experts. It is a well rounded book which provides uncomplicated language with no excessive, confusing jargon which no-one can understand. A good book to read if you want to lose weight and find the right way about it.

The information absolutely confirms everything I've learned over the years. Education is power, and when you educate yourself then it is easy to make good decisions for your long term future. I have read this book and have personally met quite a few people who have made the emotional and financial commitment to also do his program and have had wonderful success with it.

I admire the author for his own personal weightloss achievement and that he has kept it off and also that he has partnered with professionals who actually know what they are talking about in regard to obesity.

Which ever method of weightloss you are considering I absolutely recommend you read this first. I wish I had had this information when I was overweight, it would have saved me a lot of time, frustration and a bucket load of money.

This book gave me a real insight into the weight loss industry and after reading it I now have the confidence to make the right choices for me. This book won't give you recipes or a meal plan but it will demystify the diet industry and ensure you follow a sensible, life long plan for overall health and well being - a plan that is right for YOU..

This is a must read for anyone who has or is struggling with weight issues. It makes you feel better when you realise that all those diets that haven't worked....were designed to fail.

Graham Park's '7 secrets the weight loss industry will never tell you' is a fantastic book. It gets right into the nitty gritty of the weight loss industy, exposing each lie the industry uses to market pills, shakes and programs. If everyone read this book, we would all be healthier and wouldn't be so bombarded with weight loss products that just don't work!!! Unless you look beyond the fads, you would never know just what the right plan of action is! Way to go, Graham. Inspirational piece of literature! 5 stars!
