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-theskin 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.

I've read
many diet books in the past and this is one of the best.
I really liked the book and I refer to it often. I found that it
provides information that would normally not be found in other
books. I also felt it provides healthy options to assist in weight
loss and healthy eating. It is not only entertaining, but full of great
information on helping you make life changes that will result in a
lighter, healthier you. Exercises are included as well as diet tips and recipes.
This is an excellent resource if you struggle with your weight.
