Thanks for the article. It certainly sound like an informative and well-researched diet book. I ordered it and will let you know what I think. I hope it lives up to my expectations. I can tell you, I am so confused and so tired of these so-called gurus that don’t have the vaguest idea of what they are talking about. I also hope our government starts treating the obesity epidemic with greater urgency.

Thanks for this article. I don’t feel like such a loser anymore. I thought there must be something wrong with me, because you are describing my behavior as a carb addict to a tea, and it makes sense to me that this habit will have to be addressed pretty much like the smoking habit. I stopped smoking reading Alan Carr’s “How to stop smoking the easy way” and I am sure he brought out a book about weight loss as well? Is it any good?

I wish more people would read this book. Education, eduction, education! The better we understand the obesity problem in the States the better the solutions we will be able to come up with. Fast food and junk food must be the main culprits in our take-out besotted world. Ask any kid (and for that matter most adults) how often they have McDonald’s and more than half will probably tell you more than once a month! And that it is their favorite meal. Lose the junk food and the fast food and you will lose weight, and we may actually be able to fix the US health system!

I want this book. It makes absolutely perfect sense that junk food play a massive role in getting the Americans to the obese state they are in today. How many obese kids do you know that do not love a “happy meal” consisting of a McDonalds burger, fries and a coke! It is absolutely mind boggling that so many people just eat stuff really unhealthy for them, and don’t even try to understand what it will do to their health. Nice article. I am hoping this book will provide me with some ammunition in discussions with my own kids.

I liked the clear and rational explanation that this book provides for why so many of us are overweight. I think America must wake up and smell the roses. I even read an article the other day that stated that we must forget the battle of the bulge because we are genetically programmed to be fat! So what now, must we just give uip losing weight? I don’t think so. We are becoming a lazy, uncompetitive and unhealthy nation that must get a move on. This book in my humble opinion provides a great explanation for the weight problems of the majority of people. It is well thought through and deserves its place on any bookshelf.

I didn’t enjoy this book at all. I found it long winded and boring. I almost feel asleep while reading the book. But then I have never been one for science. All I want is a book that tells me what to eat and when so I can lose weight!

Great book! I am an ex-smoker and this approach to weight loss just makes so much sense! I tried every possible product and service you can imagine to stop smoking and nothing worked. Until I changed my mindset and actually started seeing cigarettes for the disgusting things they are. I think this book is just what many of us need to break the next unhealthy addiction. Processed food. What makes me mad though is that so many companies keep on getting away with damaging peoples’ health – knowingly. I think there will be quite a few class actions against some of the big companies in the food industry in future.
