You On A Diet The Owner's Manual for Waist Management
Author: Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz

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... more », 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-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.

I've read several different "diet" books, and this one is by far the best. The plan outlined is based on biology, and I thought the book does a great job explaining what to do, and also WHY it helps. Giving me a biological reason not to eat certain foods, and to eat particular foods, really helps get me motivated. The biological explanations are not too complex, and the illustrations and humor are helpful too.

Once I got past the cartoons and the annoying pop culture similes, the information found in this book is incredibly helpful. It really explains how your body works and how it uses (or doesn't) different types of food. I understand my body and eating (and exercising) so much more now. I've been on the YOU diet for three days and have already lost 3 pounds and 1/2 inch on my waist. The best part is that this "diet" is something that I know I can keep up with - it's not about deprivation but about eating smart. And I can do that!

There is some very intersting information in this book, especially stressing the need to control waist measurement, not weight. There is humor throughout the book and even the biological sections were easy to understand. Even if you do not follow the plan exactly, it will help you to live a healthier life

This is a good book even if you are not on a "diet". It is about how everyone can eat in a better way. Explains the need for whole grains, what is a trans fat? etc.
I recommend it. SOme funny parts also.

This book follows conventional wisdom & standard American diet (SAD). As I read and study more, I question whether the SAD is really the diet (read "what we should eat") that we should be following. I'm convinced more & more that we need to eat what our ancestors ate in order to turn ourselves back to "fatburners" instead of the SAD "carb burners" that we are. After all, how can we burn fat if we fuel with carbs?
