5.0 out of 5 stars Gave me a new way of thinking, February 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Thin Tastes Better: Control Your Food Triggers and Lose Weight Without Feeling Deprived (Mass Market Paperback)

I just finished reading this book, lent to me by a friend. I'm thinking now that I should buy my own copy! It gave me a whole new way of thinking about "dieting". This book doesn't tell me what I can or cannot eat, it just makes me think about what I REALLY want before I cram it in my mouth. In the few days since I began reading it, I have already caught myself using its advice. I'm sure it's going to be extremely useful to me, not only for losing weight (my immediate goal) but for living a healthy lifestyle without depriving myself of the little luxuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some people can't handle the truth!, May 1, 2003

This review is from: Thin Tastes Better (Paperback)

The reason this book inspires so much passion is that a food addict HATES to be told that they will have to give up their favorite "trigger" foods FOREVER. It's like an alcoholic, who doesn't want to give up Gin. I resisted the idea of Trigger foods for years. I remember yelling at the TV when Gullo was being introduced and his theory was being explained.

The thing is, he's right. Certain people should NEVER have chocolate cake ever again. And that's the truth. His program is filled with ideas that make losing the weight and then keeping it off MUCH easier. It's a reality check and some people don't like reality.

The "moderation" idea never worked for me. The Elimination that Gullo suggests absolutely has worked. This food addiction is serious stuff and needs serious medicine.

And I'm in a Size 6! It's the Mecca of lifestyle change books. I wish more food addicts would consider his theory. The world would be a thinner place!

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong recommendation, January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Thin Tastes Better: Control Your Food Triggers and Lose Weight Without Feeling Deprived (Mass Market Paperback)

I've not only read the book, but I've been seeing Dr. Gullo for some time now (the book is much cheaper). I was appropriately skeptical in the beginning. Having lost 45 pounds and kept it off for over 2 years all I can say is - it works.
