Despite the fact that I typically don't have a whole lot of respect for Dr. Phil, I found this book to be a really good guide to achieving and maintaining a health weight. The first section of the book gets you motivated and into the correct head space for making changes in your life. The second section is more focused on learning the tools and information necessary to be successful. What I like about this book is that it frames weight loss not just from the perspective of a "diet" and instead focuses on lifelong changes and choices geared towards being healthy. I started out my weight loss journey with this book, joined Weight Watchers, and I've lost the weight. This book is really a great resource and I recommend it to you completely.

The facts are the same, but the way he delivers it is his good ol' Southern psychologist style.

Remember, when it comes to weight loss, you are a volunteer, not a victim.

My husband did very well with this book. It was very simple for us to cut out the bad foods in my house. Just doing that, he lost 10 pounds. Easy to read and follow. Good weight loss.

If I could stick with a diet, I wouldn't need all these books! Phil's ideas about sticking are good, now I just need to do it.

He just wasn't talking to Me. But his ideas and track record are sound, common sense advice.

OK, but focuses very much on the intellectual, rational side of losing weight. The basic advice is good, but for the emotional side of the struggle to lose weight, I found a book like "The Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook" by Judith S. Beck much more helpful. Both together would be great.

I want to challenge you about your weight and yourself in a way that you have never been challenged before. We both know that the endless string of fad diets has done nothing but leave you heavier than before. The Ultimate Weight Solution is a book that is the product of thirty years of working with overweight patients an dfiguring out what really works.
