5.0 out of 5 stars Stop the Insanity - Eat, Breath, Move, July 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stop the Insanity! Eat, Breathe, Move, Change the Way You Look and Feel--Forever (Hardcover)

I read this book because someone was giving it away at work. I had heard about it but thought it might be some more diet advise. This woman is now one of the most respected people in my life. I applaude Susan Powter for her accomplishments and for speaking out to the public. Now people can really see what our trusted diet and fitness industries are really doing. Memorize the script, sell as much as you can the first visit, cause you can bet they won't be back. I too had a prince in my life at one time. Not so much the cheater but the food watcher. He watched everything I ate. A half of a hamburger was enough. Now that sweet revenge is in the open and those princes of the world can find another option. Thank you Susan for your honesty and commitment to getting the truth out.

5.0 out of 5 stars True, we have been lied to by the diet industry!!!, January 14, 2011

This review is from: Stop the Insanity! Eat, Breathe, Move, Change the Way You Look and Feel--Forever (Hardcover)

This book is the bible of diets. Because it exposes the con behind the diet industry. I wish Susan Powter's had remained on television and not gone off the air with her radio show. The minute she disappeared from the public eye, the diets cons started to show up again. and worst than ever!!! I remember going into an "health food store" in my neighborhood, and a sales woman trying to convince me that to "hold a medal rod" over my head, would make me lose weight !!! I promptly went home and called Oregon's attorney general's office and filed a fraud complaint. Many of the diet cons listed in her book, are still or have resurfaced in the diet market today. She not only tells you the cons, but why the cons don't work, and what may happen to you and your body if you follow one of these diet scams.

Lucinda Russell (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stop the Insanity! Eat, Breathe, Move, Change the Way You Look and Feel--Forever (Hardcover)

This book is about losing weight without counting calories or the amount of food you eat (yes, you read that right), it's about changing your life forever. Powter is honest, down-to-earth and easy to relate to. Anyone who has ever had a problematic relationship with food must read this book, it tells you exactly how to change the way you look and how to feel great. Basically, this book helps you lose weight and get fit because it is the Truth (finally!). Believe me, it really works.
