Summary: excellent
Comment: This book talks to you in an easy to understand way and it shows you details of what you're doing to your body by being overweight. Plus it's not a sales pitch for a diet website like "best life".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Book!... but fat jokes just aren't funny.
Comment: Although I appreciated the detailed research, thorough explanations, and carefully broken-down science of this book, I did NOT appreciate the "cutesy" humor that barely masked itself as grade-school-style fat jokes. Size discrimination is never funny, and neither are jokes made at the expense of someone's physical appearance - whether it's based on their size, color, or gender. This book was so wonderful and so needed; too bad I had to deduct a big FAT yellow star because of the unneccessary fat humor that didn't make me laugh.

Summary: Must read for everyone
Comment: Love this book. Roisen and Oz make their books easy to understand and read. Lots of great information on all around health. They explain how things effect your body and how to be healthy. They add humor to make it interesting. A great read!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply put, it works
Comment: This book is the first I read in Oz and Roizen's YOU series. I have since been hooked and have enjoyed all of their books and specials on the Discovery Health network.
Practical and effective advice fills the pages of this book. The authors include detailed information on how the body works as it relates to satiety, storing fat, burning fat, good and bad foods, and why being overweight is so very unhealthy. Even readers who are not interested in the "why" and medical jargon can benefit from the advice. The book is written in a friendly accessible style that makes it an enjoyable read. Although the humor is a bit corny at times, you won't be able to hold back a smile.
By applying the principals and useful tips in this book I have lost 65 pounds, improved my cholesterol levels to "excellent" in all categories, and dropped my blood pressure numbers to that of a teenager. This was possible without going on a restrictive or bland diet. In fact, I ate cookies, cake, fried chicken, and drank non-diet soda (in moderation) while still losing weight. It doesn't have to be difficult!
Let Oz and Roizen help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight without going hungry or depriving yourself of your favorite foods. Don't let previous failures discourage you from buying this book. Diets will always fail and this book even explains why. Changing your diet and implementing practical techniques will result in success. YOU can do it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Buy this book if you want to learn about you.
Comment: This is a great book. It isn't a diet book exactly - It teaches you what food does when it goes into your body. It teaches you what the best foods are for you. It talks about why you need to be healthy. Recipes, excercise, seriously helpful recommendations.
