From the get go the book grabs your attention by a completely out of left field situation that caused the author to start her journey of losing over 100 pounds of deadly weight. She's very honest and open about her journey and developed a memorable acronym - DECC "discipline, exercise and counting calories". She tried pills, infomercial diets, you name it and then her mind woke up and said "I will not allow you to kill me .... you schmuck!"  That did it.
She explains the hurdles that we all too many times face almost daily. Hurdle #1 lack of self esteem, #2 the social fatty #3 you are comfortable feeling invisible and well I won't spoil it by telling you the rest but recognize these and you're on your way to taking the weight off. It's a matter of..... DECC. She makes it personal. And funny. And gives you just enough encouragement to start you off right and the tools to be successful like apps, calorie counting how to's and a website "in slim.com" where you can see video stories of real folks who lost weight and how they did it.
Highly recommend this book and kudos to Jane Olson. You go girlfriend!!

I have read Teresa's two previous books about losing weight, and they inspired me to start my own journey of freedom from morbid obesity.  With this book, she dives into the nuts and bolts of what it takes to lose the weight forever, and how to find lasting freedom.  It doesn't just apply to weight.  The things she writes  apply to any sort of addiction or an area of life where you might need healing.  She boldly shares more details of her story. Along the way she shares inspiring Scriptures and shows how the truth can set us free.  It is an in-depth guide to losing the emotional baggage that is preventing weight loss.  If you are ready for healing so you can move forward with your weight loss, this book is for you.  Both inspiring and practical, this is a book I give 5 stars, and will refer to over and over as I continue on my own journey.

I recommend this book to anyone who has lost and re-gained weight. I purchased this book after reading and trying every fad diet out there to help me lose my pregnancy weight. This book was a godsend. It is packed with clear information about how to fuel our bodies and explains the reasons we have been unsuccessful so far. There was information I had never heard before and I was shocked to read that so many of the diet trends I follow have, in fact, been sabotaging my weight loss. I am so thankful that I can across this book because I have a new plan that will help me achieve my overall health goals. Thank you Ari for this innovative approach to fat loss!

Packed full with charming illustrations that do a very effective job of driving home the author's points, Bad Eating Habits vs. Good Eating Habits is not only a book that will help you take off the extra weight, but it also does a terrific job in explaining how we got in the shape we are in.  Roberts writes that Americans are among the most overweight in the world and provides the facts and figures to back up her argument.

But of course the heart of this e-book is helping readers turn their lives around.  Roberts proves that diets and other fads will come and go.  What matters the most is our habits.  She expertly shows us how to kick the habits that hold us back and how to embrace the habits that will lead to a healthier lifestyle.  This is a very helpful book!

I have been working with Stu and the principles behind his book for over a year now and have had great results.  That is what matters RESULTS.  If you are looking for a no nonsense, not overly complicated and time consuming plan - than this is for you. I have been trying to lose these 40 lbs for years and tried everything, (biggest loser plan, weight watchers) you name it I tried it and nothing worked. I saw Stu's program advertised in the local paper and thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did!  I feel and look fabulous. Stu was there with me every step of the way, with motivation, tips to get over a plateau, challenging but fun workouts and he was a good friend when I needed it. Stu was more than a personal trainer who counted reps and made sure you used good form - he gets to really know his clients to give them the best workout and nutrition plan possible.  I highly recommend his book if you have been struggling to lose those last 40 lbs (like me) or just want sound fitness advice.

Want to lose weight and learn why you emotional eat and how to combat it? Do you have 5 minutes a day to understand where you can be in your weight loss journey by following these eating devotional exercises?  Well, I have read both books and was very successful at weight loss!  A total of 54 pounds and I had lost another 8.80 pounds since May 9, 2011 and today is June 30, 2011.

I take these books and read them when I need that extra reminder again of how to be successful after getting into another emotional eating rut. The author, Linda Spangle, is an expert in her field, as she is the director of a weight loss clinic that teaches how to combat emotional eating.  Once you get her book, you will be linked for life to her wealth of information on weight loss, all you need to do is sign up for her newsletters that are FREE.  Linda truly cares about your loss, and your hardships.

There is no specific diet plan that is touted, you pick your own plan to follow!

Give it a try and don't gain those unwanted pounds because of emotional eating!

I had so much success that our TOPS diet support group read the book as a group and members had success.

I wish I had this book a year ago when I started my journey to a new, healthier me. Beth's book is concise, thoughtful, and encouraging. It is a must have read for anyone going thru the bariatric process or great for someone that might have slipped a little and needs the encouragement to get back on track. It is also a great book to read thru with your family and the important people that are here to help you start your new journey.

There just seems to be one weight loss book after another these days. It makes me believe that everyone runs from book to book without losing weight. Well, I, too, have a favorite weight loss book. It came out early last year. It's entitled, Flip the Switch: The Secret to Weight Loss and was written by Jim Karas who is Diane Sawyer's weight loss coach. I've seen Karas from time to time on "Good Morning America" and have been quite impressed with his common sense approach to losing weight. In fact he was on "GMA" as recently as Monday, January 5, 2004.
In his book, Flip, he begins by asking you if you're ready to embark on losing weight, he then encourages you to believe in your ability to be successful. You feel he is right beside your side throughout the book. I especially liked his tips on doing strength and resistance exercise. I have incorporated weights and bands into my exercise routine and I have lost 27 pounds in the past 5 months. Please realize that I used to spend an hour a day doing cardio exercise and never, I mean never lost a pound. Now, I spend approximately one hour twice a week on exercise and not only is my weight down, but my posture and body composition are changing before my eyes.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who desires an effective, empathetic road map to weight loss. I would also encourage readers to check out Karas' website jimkaras.com. I joined a couple of months ago and now Jim calls me once a week to encourage me.
I'm thrilled. He's made Diane Sawyer look terrific and he's doing the same for me. This is the only weight loss book you'll ever need.
Thank you Jim for a great and motivating read!

This a great book to get you headed down the path to simpler eating and better health.  Like Mark says, if you can change your lifestyle 80% of the time you can make incredible gains.

It is a fast and easy read, yet chuck full of useful information.  And, guess what?  It makes perfect sense.

So read the book and start to get a grip on your health.  Even if you adopt one dietary or lifestyle change from the book it will be worth it.  There is no reason not to buy it.

As an addiction coach I have purchased this book for many of my clients. It is the best way to
lose weight and keep it off. It explains WHY it is so hard to lose weight and what is really the reason
behind overeating.

A must read for any dieter or anyone that wants to lose weight and keep it off.

Though I have been on diets on and off for many years  I have continued to struggle with my weight.  In spite of having read many diet related books there is still much to learn AND unlearn.

One of the first things I have unlearned is the MYTH about "aiming for a healthy weight loss of 2 pounds a week."  Author Martha Stewart totally debunks that myth and shows why it is an insane goal that is bound to discourage and depress you, and throw you off track.

Stewart talks about starting with an easy no-diet weight loss plan.  She gives examples of how you can eat WAY more by substituting healthier choices.  And it was fabulous that her examples did not mean you could never have pizza again  just a slightly healthier version of the pizza (or hot dog or hamburger).

Though many health related books don't carry menu plans, this one does  a whole month of suggested meal combinations.  These give you a great  foundation for building your own menus.

The book concludes with tips on how to succeed with your new eating plan.  My favorite tip is to, "Create a No-Fail Environment."  You may have failed with other diets and if you have, you probably have a pretty good idea where the points of failure were.  The trick is to make sure you set-up your environment to eliminate the failure points!  Brilliant.

I very much enjoyed "Never Say Diet."  You will be sure to learn new concepts and new ways to eat healthier and shed those extra pounds.  If you need to lose weight, get this book!

This is such a practical book to dieting and getting or staying in shape.  With all the dieting books out there that have you limit yourself to one food group or it is so restrictive that it would be impossible for you to stay on it for any length of time.  Watching your weight and exercise should be a life-long endeavor to stay healthy and strong.  James' instruction is very easy to follow and I believe would be very easy to maintain.

This book is definitely the guidance everyone needs from someone who has actually gone through it instead of just telling the rest of us what we need to do. I can't wait to start the program.

What a fantastic book this is.  I have struggled with my weight and body image since having my two children.  With so much information out there about what we 'should' be doing to lose or maintain our weight and so much pressure to conform to our societies ideal size and shape I have nearly turned myself into knots trying to 'make' my body conform instead of just letting it dictate to me what it needs and wants and letting it do it all by itself.

If you have been on the diet roller coaster, losing then gaining then losing then regaining and you have had enough and want a REAL solution then this book is for you.

I won't even try to explain it's contents because I think EVERY woman should have this in her library.  Finally I am free to live my life while my body normalises itself.  I don't have to plan meals, count calories, deprive myself of the foods I love or spend endless hours on mindless exercise machines.  Who would have thought that the answer to my problems was to STOP dieting and that I would naturally return to my healthy ideal weight not to mention the other health complications I was having that have cleared up as well.

With so many cases of overeating, binge dieting, and unhealthy eating disorders, this book should be made compulsory reading for ALL high school age girls too. Enjoy and Free yourself for ever :)
