About this ebook
Drs Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet C. Oz, authors of the million-copy bestseller ‘YOU: The Owner's Manual’, have devised a diet that is so effective you'll notice changes in your body immediately. Starting with a Two-Week Reboot that will help you lose up to two inches around your waist, you will shed your unwanted pounds forever.
‘YOU on a Diet’ is not another faddy crash-diet weight loss plan: you will lose weight – and a lot of it – but you will also gain the knowledge, insight and power to keep off the pounds you lose. Knowledge is the most powerful motivator when it comes to making the right food choices: know the ‘why’ and you'll successfully handle the ‘how’.
- Find out your ideal shape – and how to reach it
- Lose weight without hunger – you need only 100 calories less a day
- Enjoy flexibility – you can still indulge in treats
- Rebalance body chemicals and hormones – these, not willpower, dictate what you eat
- Stop worrying about what you weigh – it's your waist size that counts
Roizen and Mehmet's clear plan combined with:
- Amazing YOU facts (e.g. 95% of your body's serotonin is found in your intestines – there's only 2-3% in your nervous system)
- Eating tips (e.g. eating a small handful of nuts before your meal tricks your body into thinking that you are fuller sooner)
- Interactive questionnaires (e.g. are your emotions affecting your food choices?)
make this diet one of the most cutting-edge and easy-to-follow of our time. Successful long-term weight loss is only found in one place: YOU.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book. It is full of what seems to me to be solid scientific information. The authors break the information down into layman's terms and explain the importance of everything thoroughly. There were several corny jokes sprinkled throughout the book which may be distracting to some, but I personally found that it kept me interested and more involved with the reading. Without the jokes, this would probably have read like a text book. Great book! I feel much more informed and less intimidated after reading it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am on Weight Watchers and wanted to use this book as supplement to that program. The book has good suggestions but does not mention Weight Watchers at all. The book emphasizes exercise and right eating as most diet books do. The problem of weight loss lies with the individual and their choices.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book is alright I suppose, but it was a bit boring to me. I was mistaken in what I thought it would contain. I thought it explained everything in much more detail than I was interested in. If you're looking for something that will inspire you during your dieting, you won't find it in here. If you're looking for clinical descriptions and how your body processes food, this is the book for you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5More science than you would ever want to know about your digestive processes and how we lose and gain weight. In depth and balanced approach to weight loss. For those looking to lose a little weight to readers who may be struggling with serious obesity.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Filled with good scientific information, sometimes too much so. A little too cutesy with illustrations and cartoons. The eating plan and stretching/ strength training plan looks great though.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Filled with wonderful, helpful guidance, but constantly distracts the reader and detracts from the information with random jokes, abstract comparisons, and corny illustrations. The book would have half the pages without all the distractions, and I would have read it in half the time--and been less frustrated! I love their information, but I hesitate to read another book by them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Put down that doughnut and read this book. If you ever wondered how food is processed once it enters you mouth, this book tells you more than you ever need to know. What exactly happens to that doughnut if you aren't burning it off every day by running a marathon? This book tells you. It will make you much more aware of everything that you put in your mouth.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The basic premise of this book is that you can lose weight if you work with your body instead of trying to overpower it with deprivation and will power. More than that, once you become proficient in doing this, it will become automatic and you will never have to diet again. This claim is backed up with a lot of data, including how your body works, how fat works in your body and about body chemistry that affects weight gain or loss. Exercise is a key part of the plan. I found it quite convincing. Their attitude is pragmatic and understanding and the book should be helpful to anyone ready to hear it. As with their book, You: The Owner's Manual, I'm giving this 5 stars for content and 0 stars for incessant lame jokes and confusing drawings, averaging 3.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A couple times a year, I get on a "health and fitness" kick. This readable book provided great motivation. Rather than focusing on changes in weight and specialty foods, it provides realistic approaches to overall health and fitness. I like the idea of looking at changes in my measurements rather than weight as a single number. I was also encouraged by their practical tips related to calorie counting and food selection. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a practical guide to jump start a diet.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed YOU: On a Diet for an interesting reason that may not be immediately apparent to those considering reading this "diet" book. I enjoyed it because the book reads like it's written for a 9th grader but simultaneously treats the reader as if they have more than two IQ points to rub together. Now that's not meant to be an insult to 9th graders. My point is that it's written in simple language that's entertaining to read but at the same time, the book teaches you complex concepts so that you understand the science behind why your body reacts the way it does to certain foods, why you get hungry when you do, and why excercise and certain types of foods improve or exacerbate your health concerns.The reader isn't treated to a "trust me, if you eliminate this food, all your woes will end" routine. You're treated as someone who wants to learn how your body works and how to improve your physiology.Some will be quick to dismiss the book as "sure, sure, it's the same old story - excercise 30 minutes a day and eat right." OK...and??? Of course it is. That's how you lose weight (or, more importantly, "waist" per the authors) and keep it off for the long haul. I applaud them for not creating some trendy fad diet. There are enough of those out there stealing people's money.For me, the book was a reinforcement of why I should cut out trans fats and high fructose corn syrup, why I should eat plenty of veggies and whole grains, and why I should make sure and give at least 30 minutes everyday to excercise my body. They don't just say I should - I knew that. They say WHY. That resonates with me. I compare it to the old adage - “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime.” Irrespective of whether or not I choose to follow the specifics of their recommended plan, I can now "fish" for myself. To my knowledge, there aren't too many diet books that can claim that. My impression has always been that they are prescriptive in nature and require a specific regimen.I have a much better understanding of the importance of eating well and getting some exercise. That's worth 4 stars to me. This is the best "diet" book I've read. Then again, I wouldn't call it a diet book. I'm also not a big diet trend follower/reader either so maybe I'm being overly critical of them - but I doubt it. I look forward to reading YOU: The Owner's Manual.
