Product Description

Break through the 10 big diet myths!

In this book, renowned expert Dr. James Rippe and Weight Watchers give you the scientific knowledge you need to break through the myths, get off the dieting roller coaster, and shed those pounds for keeps.

Believers Beware!

MYTH #1 You can't lose weight and keep it off

MYTH #2 A few extra pounds don't matter

MYTH #3 Willpower is the key to successful weight loss

MYTH #4 You can lose weight with exercise alone

MYTH #5 Calories don't matter—avoid fats or carbs to lose weight successfully

MYTH #6 You can't lose weight if you have the wrong metabolism or genes

MYTH #7 You can boost your metabolism by what, how, and when you eat

MYTH #8 It doesn't matter how you take the weight off; you can think about keeping it off later

MYTH #9There is only one right approach to losing weight

MYTH #10 Your weight is your problem, and you need to solve it on your own

"Incisive and refreshing. James Rippe and Weight Watchers expose a series of ten myths pervasive in the weight-loss industry, revealing both the kernels of truth they contain and how they have been misinterpreted and distorted."
—Claude Bouchard, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand help for weight loss, November 11, 2006
By C. Patterson (Pasadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get going..., February 26, 2006
By Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
  
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars good info but boring, October 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
