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 , 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.

Physicians On Diet

How refreshing to have physicians write scientifically-based books that promote a healthy body, healthy living, and disease prevention. Maybe these authors will inspire their colleagues to talk more to patients about living healthfully. The book is written in a way that makes nutrition and physiological insights readable and understandable by people who do not have a strong science background. The emphasis is on trimming your waistline rather than focusing on weight. The authors explain the interaction of the brain, hormones, muscles, stomach, heart, and genes in dictating body size. They provide information on diet and exercise, and include a two week program. I hope our authors are closing the chasm between patients and doctors by raising issues that patients can further discuss with their doctors resulting in healthier patients.

Good one!

Great book, enjoyable and easy to follow. Not too "sciency", clever and witty writing.


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

This is the most entertaining yet informative diet book you could ever read. It actually had me feeling as if one of the docs were in my livingroom explaining the workings of the body in a very down to earth way. Illustrations are thru-out the book and reinforce the information. The exercises and diet are easily followed. There is even a shopping list that tell you how to find the items in the store! Great and highly recommended. Wish me luck to get a healthy waistline!

The book fibs a little, but makes weight loss possible for us mere mortals.

This is more a review of the diet itself rather than the book as a work of literature.

I liked what they authors proposed for a few reasons:

- walking 30 minutes a day was doable for me, since I already do that 2 to 3 times a week.

- they make allowance for the fact that most people will slip up and eat naughty food sometimes- you are allowed to forgive yourself.

- measuring fat loss through your belt notches is practical.

- I've taken up eating natural food like apples and dried fruit, and nuts so at least I will have less trans fat encrusted arteries.

- It sounds much more achieveable to do muscle work just 20 minutes once or twice a week. Before, it was people telling me to do at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours each time- man, I HATE THE GYM! I have trouble staying more than 50 minutes. Ok, I know the book is simply telling me what I want to hear, rather than what I need to hear, but it keeps me motivated to return to the gym at least and not skip gym weeks at a time.


It's nice how they give some information about your own biology too.


One thing I did note was a slight fib.

They say there is no calorie counting. But there actually is. In the second half of the book, they write about your base metabolic calorie usage, and how certain activities will use up such and such, and eating certain foods will give you such and such calories. So sure, you DO need to know this (it means what you eat is more important than the actual exercise), but still- liar liar pants on fire boys!

Over the last 4 weeks my scales have shown a weight loss of almost 1kg. Quite slow (I want 10 kg loss a day guys!) but I am fitter, and it is constant and I think I can maintain this rate of activity and diet. ANd this is the main thing that I like.

So ask me in 12 months how I'm going :)
