This Book is Just What the Dr. Ordered!
This is not just another weight loss book. Dr. Phil takes a holistic approach that gets to the heart of the conflict between our conscious desire to lose weight and our subconscious sabotage mechanisms that get in the way when we try to do so. I found his approach to be sound, sensible and doable. I just finished reading it and it feels like I've lost weight already.

Nothing new?
I've only started reading the first two chapters of this book, and already I find myself considering new possibilities about how I view myself and food!!!I was very disappointed to read the disparaging comments about this book and its author. I think people who expected to find something new here a) Don't get it; b) Are looking for a magic bullet; c) Just need something to complain about.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW ABOUT DIETING! Eat less, move more... it's that simple! In fact, if you've ever read the Bible, you know that a few thousand years ago Solomon had already declared that there was "nothing new under the sun" way back then!
Losing weight is all about common sense. That's what I expected from Dr. Phil which is exactly why I picked up his book in the first place. What Dr. Phil does that many psychologists simply aren't good at is take what is common sense and get you to accept it. For some people, like me, it means leading them to the point where it almost seems like it was their idea in the first place. Dr. Phil has a way of doing that for me.
This is not a book about a diet, like South Beach or Atkins, where you learn to control food, but never get your mind and heart in order. This book is about changing the way you look at yourself, why you want to lose weight, what you expect to happen when you reach your goal, what are you willing to do to make that happen. Bottom line... Phil cuts the crap about dieting!
So, the naysayers are right, there is nothing new here... just the plain honest-to-God truth, and that's exactly what I was looking for!

Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution
I wished that Dr. Phil had written this book a long time ago, because I, too, have been on different diets, and every diet that I've been on has not worked. Dr. Phil has a way of telling you like it is about how you should look at yourself in a positive way rather than in a negative way. Since I've been reading this book and eating the foods that he has listed, I feel good about myself and my body. For those of you who have been on diets or are on diets that don't work, please purchase this book and read it for yourself. Similar Products
