Summary: Not a "fad" or "gimmicky" diet, a sensible program.
Review: Dr. Phil's Ultimate Diet is not a "fad" or "gimmicky" diet, it is a sensible program that really works. It works on the inside by changing the way you think and then it works on the outside by getting you to change eating habits and implementing life style changes.Fad diets don't work. Dr. Phil's sensible program does. I have lost over 25 lbs since following his system. It works. Try it. You'll love it.

Summary: No hype
Review: I like Dr. Phil and his down-to-earth approach. I am a notorious viewer of his TV programs. But I think that his book would be much better if he consulted with some experts in the field of Health and nutrition, such as for example Dr. Tombak ("Can We Live 150 Years?). Then his book would get much more essence. But it is still OK. No hype.

Summary: Dr. Phil helped me
Review: I have lost 36 pounds since I read this book. Dr. Phil really helped me to change my lifestyle to support my new body image and to discipline myself. Frankly, I couldn't lose weight for years and what started me down the path was a book called Optimal Thinking-How To Be Your Best Self. Optimal Thinking helped me to eliminate the self-sabotage mechanism that had been with me since childhood and to commit myself to be my best in every situation. It showed me how to do that and led me to this book. Now I have everything I need to get rid of my negative self image and truly give life my best shot. Dr. Phil makes weight loss easy.

Summary: At long last!!!!!
Review: A book that truly lives up to it's title!!! At long last, an author who really understands that most failed dieters don't need information about what to eat, they need help to understand their relationship with food and identify their own personal formula for success. Dr Phil really focuses on helping us to understand why we inappropriately "medicate" and "celebrate" with food, and his straightforward "no frills" approach really hits the mark - you will truly find yourself able to appreciate healthy food, and not feel deprived in avoiding the foods and behaviours which are keeping you fat. I could not put this book down, and cannot enthuse highly enough about it - it really is an absolute must for all Dr Phil fans, and anyone who appreciates that weight control has far more to do with your mind than your plate!!! As Dr Phil always says - "you cannot change what you dont acknowledge" After reading this book, you will truly understand your own reasons for overeating and have the tools to change your life forever!!!!

Summary: Losing Weight is easy with this book!
Review: I know so many people are skeptical about dieting books. But this isn't really a diet book, it's more about changing your lifestyle, not just cutting down on foods for a while. You may argue that being overweight isn't bad and that 'skinny people suck' but obesity is a HEALTH RISK, people! I weighed 215 lbs. when I was 16, you know how hard it is to go through high school being so overweight? It's horrible. Lucky for me, I had (and still have) many good friends and no one ever made fun of me for being overweight, but one thing about this book is that you learn that you have to be who you are. It's imperative that you love yourself. If you can love yourself being a few pounds overweight then that's awesome. But all of you out there who are very much overweight and are just too lazy to lose the weight and fool yourself into thinking you are 100% ok the way you are, you are wrong. You'll feel SO much better with who you are when you can walk a mile and not be dying when you sit down to rest. I'm a happy 139 lbs. and I love that I did this!! Get happy with who you are and read this book!

Summary: Why take weight loss advice from a fat man?
Review: This is just a fad. You don't need a book to lose weight. And I really can't understand why this is so popular--you'd think if it actually worked the author wouldn't be obese. I'm 22, and believe me, I've wasted plenty of money on this kind of garbage. I've lost 50 lbs, and kept it off for years. And these types of books didn't help at all. What DID help was developing better eating habits and moving more. Don't get me wrong; I eat junk food sometimes, and I don't even work out every day. I just try to do everything in moderation. Here are a couple tips that will actually help you, instead of just trying to make a profit. 1) Don't use elevators, or find the nearest parking space. Those little bits of extra walking add up. 2) If you want a dinner you know you shouldnt be eating, like pasta, remember everything in moderation. Fill up on a big salad, then have a small serving of pasta. This is comming from a girl who'd 5'9, 130lbs, and used to be 180lbs. Not some fat old man.

Summary: Leeching dollars from the Oprah hippos
Review: This is a great book for those who like to eat pig slops as a snack or suck on sticks of butter for energy. I heartily recommend this for people who like to hear diet advice only from overweight elephant seals. Members of the Oprah generation will appreciate the word snacks that are fed to them by talk show hosts who are indistinguishable from purebred Pamplona cows.

Summary: ...
Review: He trying to make fat people fell bad enough about themselves to diet. What is wrong with being blessed with a few EXTRA POUNDS??? I don't want to end up skinny enough to be able to hula-hoop with a cherrio, make it from 1 gate to another at the Seattle-Tacoma airport in less than 5 minutes, and to the point that my stomach size ends up smaller than the center hole of a Krispy Kreme doughnut. My sister is skinny and she has a problem buying clothes. The size 0 is too big. WHAT ... IS WRONG WITH BEING FAT??? I don't want to be able to use dental floss as toilet paper.

Summary: The Ultimate Weight Solution
Review: I found this book to be the very best advice I have ever found on weight loss in my 22 years of (diteting). After reading this book and the food guide that goes with it I will never have to diet again. It is the most common sense way of eating I have experienced, and find it very easy to follow. Yes I have to put in the effort but that goes with any thing worth while. And I am worth while!
