Summary: There wasn't anything I would disagree with in this book!
Review: There is a lot to say for plain, unadulterated common sense. Dr. Phil is famous for it and he strikes gold once again with his new book The Ultimate Weight Solution. Dr. Phil doesn't beat around the bush or try to soften the blow of truth...instead he gives you the kind of advice you can take with you for the rest of your life. He also gives unconditional support to those who reach out and try...that is all he wants you to do, try. It is easy enough and he believes, as is obvious in his book, that if you try you will eventually succeed. I say eventually because weight change will not happen over night...I for one do not think healthy weight loss ever happens over night, only unhealthy.
I said in my title that there was nothing that I disagreed with in this book and that is because, even if I have heard it before as other reviewers have mentioned, it is still very true. I am very happy that I picked up Dr. Phil's book and I think you will be too.

Summary: Pay attention
Review: I have just started reading this book and plan on buying it for several friends. How many times does it have to be reiterated this isn't a "NEW" plan? For those of us overweight we are looking for a magic pill...guess what...it ain't out there! Losing weight takes work and eating healthy. If it were easy everyone would be skinny. Come on, do you think we like being fat! Overweight people are looking for an answer, an answer that may make since for them when they read Dr. Phil's book. If they have read all the other books and like me are still overweight then they are still struggling to find the answer. Give us a chance here to find that answer instead of raging on about how it's the same old stuff and Dr. Phil is fat, GET A LIFE! It sounds like to me that the poor reviews are from those that don't want to do the work. The one that is complaining about him being too dam rich already is just jealous. I have been eating healthy and exercising for about a month and I am steadily loosing weight. I still bought the book looking for answers in my lifelong problem with weight. It's helping me already. Bottom line...each person is different and Dr. Phil's book is going to help some people. I don't know how many, but I would bet that it will be thousands, if it saved only one person's life it would have been worth him writing this book. Good luck to those looking for the answer.

Summary: I highly recommend the Ultimate Weight Solution!
Review: I highly recommend this book, not because i have 50 punds to lose but because Dr. Phil is different...his advice is not new but it is unique in its presentation. This may not be the book for you, as it doesnt seem to be for some of the reviewers, but for those of you who have read Dr. Phil's other books or watch his show and actually gain something from them this is the kind of book for you because it is what work "for you." We are all different in the way that we react to certain stimulus. i think this book was written for the type of people that are willing to take a closer look at their life (and their eating habits) instead of mindlessly following a diet plan that strictly regulates what you are putting into your body and how...that kind of diet may be for some and work miracles for them but this is for people lie me out there who need a friend not a plan. Dr. Phil is there...i cannot wait to see his new season and how he conquers the weight issue on his show. I loved him on Katie Couric!!!

Summary: You owe it to yourself to read this book!
Review: Unlike some reviewers, I have read this book from cover to cover. I recommend this book to those that have tried to lose weight in the past, but never had the "willpower" to see it through. This book is not about "willpower". Dr Phil will show you how to lose weight without willpower and WHY we can't commit to a healthy lifestyle. The 7 keys are the secret to KEEPING the weight off for good! Give him a chance...you'll thank yourself for getting this book.

Summary: drivel
Review: I'd like to give this book zero stars. Dr. Phil is out of his element spewing homilies about dieting and fitness. This is an area better left to those who have the credentials to propose healthy diet and nutrician plans. Even his "physchology" regarding weight loss lacks any real substance. Very disappointing.

Summary: Greatest non-diet diet book out there!
Review: i have read almost all of the reviews on this book and i HAVE read the book as well. I must agree with all the reviews out there that saw the very real and very sound advice this book has to offer. i am so proud of Dr. Phil for taking the time out to do something so close to his heart- helping overweight clients. Dr. Phil has told us repeatedly how long he has worked with such patients and i think it is a testimony to his credit how long it has taken him to come out with a book. He waited until he felt that he had everything he needed to know to give "old" advice in a way that would wake everyone up and show them the answers to questions they may not have been ready to ask. Dr. Phil talks about being "ready"- Are You Ready? - and explains to the reader all they need to be ready and understand that what he is telling them is not new, they simply were not ready to hear it because of all the emotional baggage blocking up there ears. Dr. Phil works not to get another "diet" book out there- he works to get the right information out there in a way people can finally swallow. no pills, no frills- just Dr. Phil.

Summary: The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Free
Review: First the "7 Keys" are nothing new. Dr. Phil is just talking about information that has been known for a long time and passing it off as his own. His claim that he "doesn't think he has the answer, he knows he has the answer" just shows how egotistical he is. If he does have any good information, his arogant style is hard to take. It's hard to hear someone when they are talking down to you. Being "honest" doesn't mean brow beating. It would be a lot easier to take if he really talked honestly, using facts and information instead of demeaning people.

Summary: The Hard Truth
Review: This book is the hard truth. I bought it the day it came out and I have been putting the advise to work. There is a lot of material that has been covered in other "diet" books but what people need to realize is that this not a diet book. It is not a quick fix but it does give you good tips on how to fix your life so that maybe you can finally lose weight. I had lost 20 pounds before this book and now that I have it I have finally gotten off a plateau I had been sitting on and I am down another pound. It is hard to admit that my weight is the cause of mainly myself and I think that is why a lot of people are not rating this book highly. Read this book if you really want to change your addictive behavoirs with food. But if you don't want to actually change your life then the other reviews are right. You should just go buy another diet book. Good luck to all who really READ this book and try to CHANGE.

Summary: Same old, same old. . .
Review: I was so disappointed when I read Dr. Phil's book. Were he a diet book reader, he would have known that everything in his book has been already covered many times in other diet books. His entire message boils down to eat healthfully, exercise, get rid of tempting food, get support, think positively, become aware of emotional eating, and establish good habits. Duh!

Summary: DON'T RUN FROM THE TRUTH
Review: First of all...I have been to Dr. Phil's show and I can tell you all..he is not fat..he is all muscle...and secondly...those of you who have rated the book less than 5 stars are running from the truth. He has said numerous times, he is not telling you anything new, just telling it in a way we all need to hear it. I have battled my weight all my adult life and for the first time, I feel like I have an opportunity to have a healthy body and a healthy mind!! I will never look at food the same way. Thank you Dr. Phil!!!
