Book Reviews of You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

Book Review: One of the Work Diet Books I've read
Summary: 1 Stars

This is one of the worst diet books I've read (and I've read many of them). I doubt that these doctors have ever been on a diet so have no clue what it is like to be on one. Telling someone to eat the same food everyday for one or two meals is a recipe for a fatter person. Someone may be able to do it for a week or two but when that person breaks it, it's going to mean going on a feeding frenzy. They point out that dogs and cats eat the same food day in and and day out but people are not animals. People control the food that comes into their lifes. Animals have no choice but to eat what they are given.

The exercise section is another disaster. The doctors tell you "It's ONLY 30 minutes a day of walking" then in the next Chapter, add another 5 minutes of stretching OH and don't forget the one hour of regular exercise three times a week. Most people work and have families. If someone was able to do all the recommended exercise, that person wouldn't have time to eat with their kids, play with them and help with their homework. There would be no time to cook dinner or even kiss their love ones Good Night!

And even on the walking only days, 35 minutes (30 minutes of walking plus 5 minues of stretching) will always become an hour. Add the time of changing into exercise clothes, a shower (if you need one afterwards), and whatever else you have to do to get ready. They make it sound so reasonable but unless you are single, it's NOT.

DON'T WASTE your money on this book and the STUPID ideas of idiot DOCTORS! While the first two chapters were interesting only because they contained medical information and that is what a doctor knows and understands. This information is not enough to warrant spending your hard earned dollars.

If there had been zeros stars, that is the rating I would have given this awful book.

Summary of You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

Book Description
For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting--and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat.

Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management.

Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In YOU: On a Diet, Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat.

Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start.

With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet--The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to your body on a diet.

"Fat Chances: The Secret Story of What's in Your Belly" by Michael F. Roizen, MD, and Mehmet C. Oz, MD
Whether you're carrying a few extra pounds of fat on your thighs or a suitcase's worth in your belly, it's hard not to think about fat. You feel it when you walk, you roll on it when you sleep, and you curse it when you try to slide into last year's jeans. But while most of us are intimately familiar with how fat looks on the outside, we're not quite as familiar with how it works on the inside.

As we explain in YOU: On a Diet, we believe that to change your body, you need to know your body.

In the simplest form, everyone knows the formula for gaining weight. Daily buckets of ranch dip plus photo-album-sized hunks of cheesecake plus a life of couch-dwelling equals a very unfortunate conclusion: too-frequent popped buttons.

But many of us really don't know how fat works and how it works against us. Here's the inside story on the story of your insides.
