Summary: Great Advice-Well Written and It Works
Review: This book is full of common sense and good advice. It combines solid writing, an eclectic and scientifically-sound nutritional approach and a spiritual approach that really cuts through the barrage of diet and weight loss nonsense out there. I recommend it highly. The author knows what she is talking about and how to get her points across. I am glad I bought it.

Summary: Finally, a Truly Holistic Weight Loss Program!
Review: This book is not only weight changing but life changing!
Not just another diet book - it is the first book to deal with weight holistically. The focus is mind, body, spirit. This holistic focus helped me become aware of my own self-limiting beliefs which were key for me in finally sticking with a program. I learned to eat differently - not to deprive myself. I lost 85 pounds using this program and even ran the Chicago Marathon this year!

Summary: A Deeper Look at Health and Weight Loss
Review: Usually when I read a diet book I go straight for what you can eat and what you can't eat. This book I read from cover to cover. In reading Carson Burke's engaging, well-researched book my attitude and belief system toward food changed. Using a compelling historical perspective Carson Burke explains how our well-being cannot be compartmentalized but requires addressing our entire mind, body and spirit. This holistic approach unlocks the key to healthy, sustained, successful dieting. Although the book addresses obesity in particular I feel it is a wonderful guide for anyone who wants a more vital, healthier life. By following Carson Burke's Principles and Practices healthy choices become internalized. I am able to take a deeper look at myself and at my relationship to food and it's true purpose as nourishment. THIN LIES WITHIN teaches "mindfulness" which is a very liberating tool and can become natural in the journey of self-awareness and weight control. No need to feel guilt here.
Carson Burke suggests, "Each of us can cultivate the positive attitude, virtuous habits, and full potential that we desire by making a deliberate effort to hold affirmative qualities, traits, and behaviors in our conscious mind."
