YOU on a Diet

posted in Good Reads! |

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…

    Have you read any more of this book? I’m curious…
    I’m pretty much always suspect of anything that says “lose (insert lg. # here) lbs/inches in just days!”. Probably because I ruined myself for any “fasting” type of diet (by not eating, duh) and am consistently jealous of anyone who can do something like that.

    Anyhow, i’m still curious, as you yourself are not really into the ultra low calorie diets.

    lemme know!

    Yes, I am up to the 4th chapter and it’s really good!!! I can’t figure out for the life of me WHY they would want the “Lose up to 2 inches…” subtitle here in AU because the “Waist Management” subtitle is so much more of what it is about. It’s really all about the fat that you carry around your waist and managing that to lower your risk of health problems. Plus a natural way of controlling your hunger and losing weight by managing the chemical reactions in your body. More about that in an upcoming post…

    […] I have read up through Chapter four of You on a Diet this weekend that people who endure stress over long periods of time gain weight. Until this year, I know that I have been a total stress monkey. […]
