Summary: Suze Orman for weight loss
Review: Dr. Phil's book reminds me of trhe great books by Suze Orman; "The Laws of Money", "9 Steps to Financial Freedom" and "Courage to Be Rich" in that it goes into the mental aspects to reach the desired goal.While Ormans focus is of course finances, Dr. Phil's ficus here is on weight loss. How many diets have you tried? Have they worked? Why or why not? What makes Dr. Phil's program diferent is that he shows you how to change from the inside out. You get to think like a thin person or what it takes to become a thin person. Then Dr. Phil offers sensible nutrition and exercise to help you reach your desired goal. I know a lot of people don't like Dr. Phil--I didn't either at first---but the guy knows his stuff and the advice works. Discipline is tough, which is why I stayed overweight for so long. Adhering to the right diet is tough too, which is why I was fat for so long. CHANGE is not easy, which is why I stayed fat for a long time. But I changed and I practiced daily disciplines and I got results. The book can't do it for you. You have to do it. Good luck!

Summary: Sad Day in Weight Loss
Review: Dr. Phil is definitely good at relationships, but he is not the type of person who should be writing about weight loss. All I got out of this book was some basic information and the encouragement to do the things that get most people fat in the first place. I should have known better, after all Dr. Phil is not in that good of shape himself. In short, I purchased this book because he is a celebrity and unfortunately, it lacks in depth and credibility. The food he recommends is not healthy and this book is nothing short of a quick way for Dr. Phil to make more money preying on fat people.

Summary: Physician, Heal Thyself
Review: I have a problem with Dr Phil. If I knew as much about anything as he knows about everything, I'd be in good shape. I also have a problem with a guy who's clearly overweight telling me how to lose pounds. All my life I've struggled with weight. I continue to struggle with it. And this book didn't tell me anything I didn't know. If you have very little insight into your eating patterns, this might be a good buy. It will make you examine why you eat, how you feel about your weight, exercise, etc. If you don't need that kind of thing, this will probably end up taking valuable shelf space. Full of Phil's tough love, rah rah approach to dieting, the book is focused on the psychology of fatness and eating. Not to oversimplify, but I'm fat because I really love to eat, I'm a terrific cook, and when it becomes a choice between sensible portions, unappetizing foods, and slimness or the sheer animal joy of wolfing down a bowl of spaghetti with tomato sauce and bacon, then chicken marsala followed by gelato, I've been sliding toward gluttony. I know that. To re-stoke the fire of discipline, I have to put my mind to it and get off the couch and exercise. I know that, too. And if you feel like a kindred spirit, save your money and buy a jump rope and a padlock for the refrigerator. Meanwhile, Dr. Phil ought to lay off the pork chops himself.

Summary: tired dribble
Review: I read this book while sitting at my local Barnes and Nobles in about 1 hour. The easy of which I read this book is its only asset. The content however was the same lacluster dribble we have been hearing for years. Would it shock you the main premise of the book is your have to live a healthier live?!? If I wrote this same book, I would not sell more than a dozen copies. Dr. Phil mistakes common sense for originality. COmmon on folks we all know what we have to do in order to lose weight. Most of us just do not want the bother... Please save your money on this title and go for a walk, for as Dr. Phil says "walking is the best source for weight loss"...duh!?!...

Summary: 6 ft tall 240LBS and he's a weight loss Guru ?
Review: Despite the fact that Dr. Phil can afford to drop about 50 pounds, this a book is worth reading. The majority of our society needs to loss weight and any additional knowledge is a positive.What the hell , any attempts to improve your life is a good thing and this book will give you some good ideas and some motivation toward achieving your goals. Dr. Phil is the modern day carnival barker, whats next a book on hairstyles.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This was excellent, but the "New Sex Now" dvd was mindblowingly incredible, a much better value for the money and time invested.

Summary: Fatty bum bum? I think not!
Review: Dr Phil may have 7 keys, but unfortunately, none of them seemed to lock the door to my stomach. After reading his book, I hopelessly devoured 3 Golden Arch meals and made a decision - to stop reading the book. Quite why this was on my recommendation list I do not know... Perhaps someone is trying to tell me that I ate all the pies.

Summary: The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution
Review: YEARS OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT HAS TAUGHT ME THAT EVERYTHING DR. PHIL SAYS ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS IS TRUE. There are exceptions in medical reasons for weight gain...hypothyroidism and the like. But for the "average" healthy person who has put on weight, believe me...the things he says are true, true, true.

Summary: Please! Free daytime tv from this mess!!!!
Review: While I have no trouble with books that try to inform people about solutions and ideas concerning weight loss, I have a real problem with a daytime tv host telling me these things....and having their own line of weight loss pills at {a store}. This whole weight loss challenge thing smacks of a tv host who couldn't make it on his own merits (was pushed by Oprah...another subject all together...)...and now that he has an iota of success....is going to milk the poor, complacent sheep (a.k.a. the average American public) for all that it's worth. No thanks, Dr. Phil, I will stick to reading things for myself...and when it's time for me to slim down...I will find somet other solution tham yours.
