 Best book I have read in 30 years of weight struggles. October 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Discovered this book by chance browsing yet again for something new. A deceptively simple book and technique that is truly wise in that the more you study, the more you realise and learn. Gillian convincingly purports the should -be -obvious truth that the way you eat, not what you weigh is the root of the problem then explores this with great wisdom and insight using an addiction model. Initially like some other reviewers i wondered if this too "would not work" for my weight, then realised that my weight had stopped yoyoing by its usual stone, after 10 months it is now starting to drop steadily though slowly in a way I am confident can be sustained. Like anything lasting, authentic and worthwhile it takes sustained and mindful effort to put the techniques into practice but I can honestly say i have not yet encountered a problem Gillian has not addressed in the book. I don't think I will ever need to buy a "diet book" again.
A really helpful book in understanding food addiction. September 25, 2008
I found this book to be really helpful in understanding why my brain works against me in my efforts to loose weight and be healthier and how I can change the patterns that have kept me over weight all my life. I find it really useful to mark the chapters/paragraphs that I found particularly relevant to me,so if I find myself reverting back to old negative eating patterns I can read them again and get back to a new positive approach to food and eating, rather than an obsessive, addictive one. I would definitely recommend this book if you have a problem with food addiction, and if it doesn't help the first time I would read it again to really let the information sink in. I hope you find it as helpful as I did.
 Great idea but .. September 21, 2008
I have had a weight problem most of my life (10-15 kilos up and down) serious enough to keep me buying all sorts of books on nutrition and eating less, eating plans etc etc I enjoyed the book it is well written etc but in the end there have been no positive results after several months.Just as a note I did quit smoking after reading Alan Carr's book the first time (after 20 years of heavy smoking) so I believe that this type of book can work for people but so far none have worked for me with the weight issue.This one may work for you .. or not.
buy it September 8, 2008

I read this book after seeing the previous reviews given. I have found it very helpful and instead of mulling over emotions, past experiences and all the other stuff I was expecting to have to deal with, as is given in most other self help books was pleasantly surprised to find this was not the case. This book uses a different and refreshing approach that ticked all my boxes with the type of help I needed. It deals with the here and now in a practical and useful way. My eating patterns have already changed and I feel relief for once in my life at how to deal with any potential hurdles.
Some good strategies September 2, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book has some useful practical strategies, I read it when I first stopped dieting and didn't know what else to do! I found some of her suggestions very helpful and others less so. The author seems to have adapted her 'stop smoking' strategies to overeating, which only partly works. It's a little prescriptive for me but worth a read.
