YOU on a Diet

Have you seen this book?YOU on a Diet
The edition here in Australia has a bright turquoise color and is titled differently: ‘YOU on a Diet: Lose up to Two Inches From Your Waist in Two Weeks” - I wonder what market research made them do that?

I picked it up before we went away for the Christmas but haven’t looked at it yet. I have the other book that these authors put out (You, The Owner’s Manual) and really loved it. Common sense and a bit of humor. I don’t care for the style of illustrations, but that’s just my personal taste.

My brother, who is also looking after his weight called me the other day and said he had a book that I had to pick up - And I told him that I already had it. I really respect Mehmet Oz. He has a way of explaining things that is accessible, but really makes you understand the gravity of your health choices.

His first book with Roizen was made popular after a stint on Oprah. He talked about poop alot and it was hysterical! But the information was so great that I actually ordered the transcript of the show, which I have never done before (Note to Oprah - Stop interrupting your guests!).

I am not done with it yet, but if you have read this book I would love to hear what you think of it. I am sure it will come up later on…
