Probably The Best Weight Loss Book Ever Written

I bought this book several years ago, and treasure it. It helped me shed pounds when I needed to, and has prevented me from becoming really overweight, despite the fact that I love to cook and eat! I love Groger's common sense approach - don't eat when you're not hungry and sensitize yourself to the different levels of hunger. Learn to trust your body. This isn't a "sexy" or trendy diet book, and Groger doesn't give you excuses or mince words. Instead she explains why people develop weight problems and what to do about them. I'm in my 50's and periodically find my clothes getting a little tight. When this happens, I pull out my copy and review what I need to do, and it works!

A ion for a while

I bought this book back in 1984 when I was a college freshman and had gained those famous ten pounds. I was terrified! I had restricted my calories all through high school, but that wasn't working anymore. This book introduced a new concept to me...One has to tune in to feelings of hunger and fullness to determine when to eat and when to stop. The book does not offer any nutritional advice, but I have to say, I did lose weight. I also kept it off, and whenever I battled with weight gain, this book would certainly help...for a time. I'm now in my 40's and I only have to look at food and I gain weight. I re-purchased this book, thinking it would save me again, but it didn't. I require much fewer calories at this stage of my life, and it isn't enough to just stop eating when I'm feeling full. I'm still taking in too many calories. This book helped, though, over the years, because I formed the habit of never letting myself get ridiculously full of food...hurts too much. What HAS helped me to stay trim is adopting a vegan diet, emphasizing raw foods. The food tends to be nutrient-dense but lower in calories...so I'm healthier, to boot. I would recommend this book to people who have never paid any attention to how they feel physically while they're eating. Some people stuff themselves and are totally unaware of how uncomfortable they truly are. This book teaches you to not only recognize this discomfort, but to helps you to realize that it's a feeling you want to avoid. Result - eating less, losing weight.

The best book ever on achieving permanent weight loss

I read this book about 6 years ago and really didn't believe that listening to my body would help me lose weight. I was wrong, it really does. I followed it for six weeks and it changed my life. I lost weight and have never gained it back and I eat whatever I want.

natural weight loss

I read and followed this book and lost weight for the 1st time ever that felt natural and not like a "white Knuckle ride". Its true diets dont work, eating awareness does.

A Great Way to enjoy food and Lose Weight!

I just want to say a big 'thank you' to Molly Groger who's wonderful book allows me to eat anything i want and still lose weight. i feel fantastic after being on the six-week program! this is the way to go. it's not a diet... it's a way of life! This book shows you how to listen to your body and to eat only when you are hungry, leaving you to sit back, relax and watch the fat melt away! Molly, thank you! You are an inspiration!*
