This book is an inspiration for me. The author(s) explain the underlying causes of weight gain, including the psychological ones. They also offer easy-to-understand, practical advice on how to lose weight -- including less obvious ideas such as creating a support system for yourself, and letting others know that you're trying to lose weight, so that they won't be pressuring you to eat more. I love the myth-exploding they do in every chapter -- and honestly acknowledging that there is a kernel of truth to these myths.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get going loosing weight is the prevailing message of this quick moving, easy to read book. It is NOT a diet guide. Instead, it provides medical information and inspirational stories that let you know you're not out there fighting with your weight alone.

The goal of the book is to take 10 diet myths, or 10 things that people tell themselves about dieting, and gently peel away the fallacies to reveal the truth. It refreshing, comforting, and motivational.

The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 was it is not a Weight Watchers guide. It leaves you at the end with just the loosest information of what Weight Watchers is, and doesn't tell you how to get started, just to join.

Well, it worked on me. I'm waiting for my In Home kit, but this book isn't a sales tool, it's just a nice guide to get you started on whatever path you decide to take.

Recommended for those who are trying to loose weight, or those who have already lost and are looking for motivation on staying healthy.

This book is for the person who wants to scientifically understand how weight (loss and gain) works. It's not just "look at me, I lost 50 lbs in a month". No, it has real stories but ALL the scientific data to back it up. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Mine is highlighted and dogeared!

This is a great book and should be read by everyone who has a problem with weight and the ability to loose weight. This man has the true answers to the old was and myths.

This book provides solid, practical information that helps readers put weight loss 'wives tales' to rest and understand the true science behind lasting weight loss. If you're finally ready to accept that you must make lifestyle changes, a little at a time, and be consistent with your food choice improvements, then it's time to read this book. It will help you keep the commitment to yourself to keep excess weight off.

The book has a lot of good info but most of us know all of it already so I found it to be not useful and boring. However, if you are new to dieting and weight loss than it would be good for you.
