Book Reviews of Losing WeightPermanently
Book Review: Bait and Switch
Summary: 1 Stars
For the first portion of the book, I was in Dr. Jantz' corner. Yes, diets don't work (I'm living proof--been on at least 10), yes, I agree that deprivation and eliminating certain foods is not the answer. I was hoping Dr. Jantz would tell us what IS.
He began by suggesting that we eliminate the diet mindset. This was to be done by getting rid of diet foods and scales. He also encouraged the readers to accept themselves as beautiful and worthy right now, no matter what our weight. Thirdly, he denounced the rigid rules of dieting.
All of that I agree wholeheartedly with. Which is why I felt so betrayed when, in the middle of the book, he began to prescribe THE VERY PRACTICES HE'D JUST VILIFIED. He began to speak about eliminating certain drinks and chewing sugarless gum when I want a high fat snack. My problem with these statements is...THAT'S A DIET! Eliminating something...is a diet! Eating one thing when I want another...is a diet!
I'm perfectly okay with him making these suggestions, but he should have made his intentions clear from the beginning of the book. He is advocating a low fat, low carb diet.
Incidentally, I know that choosing low fat foods is a way to lose weight. I've done it countless times. My problem is I HATE THOSE FOODS. So Dr. Jantz' book really didn't help me at all.
Folks, this is another diet book in disguise.
Summary of Losing WeightPermanently
The evidence is in: Diets don't work. Only 2 percent of dieters succeed at keeping off the weight they worked so hard to lose. We all can find the incentive to start, but finding the motivation to keep going is another story. In the end, we give up on one diet and try another only to find out that it doesn't work either. But don't lose hope. There is a way to look great and lose that extra weight-permanently! Trusted psychologist Dr. Gregory L. Jantz describes a different way to lose weight and keep it off. With helpful advice and the support every dieter needs, Jantz offers you: - freedom from food obsession, - freedom from yo-yo dieting, - and freedom from deprivation. With his tested program, he will show you how to break free from the dieting cycle and ultimately move into a life of smart eating, good exercise, and healthy nutrition so you can achieve that permanently healthier lifestyle you've always wanted.Weight Loss Books
