"Back for another highly entertaining round of Biology 101, the team behindYOU: The Owner's Manualapplies its signature wit and wisdom to food metabolism and nutrition. Roizen and Oz pack in a lot of material -- quizzes, 'factoids' and 'myth busters' along with diet and exercise plans, recipes and a two-week 'rebooting' program -- in bite-sized portions, giving readers a chance to absorb and apply what they learn."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

Synopsis

For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestsellingYOUseries, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management. Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. InYOU: On a Diet, Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-theskin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat. Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large.YOU: On a Dietis much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained.YOU: On a Dietwill serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start. With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor,YOU: On a Diet -- The Owner's Manual for Waist Managementwill revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard.

Very slow to arrive (well past the estimate), but came safely at last in minimalist packaging. Customer service was polite when contacted regarding delay and an initial lack of tracking details. After communicating with them, the tracking eventually began to provide updates but it was a long wait. The book was a different edition than pictured but it was in a “very good” condition as advertised; also it was fairly priced. Overall, I am satisfied except for the very long wait.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

good if you can wade through the nonsense
The information in this book is groundbreaking and extremely valuable. It is taking me an inordinate amount of time to read it however because there are waaaaaay too many cutsey analogies and clever phrases. Almost every sentence in some cases. I find this to be distracting from the much needed important information. He's playing to the lower level of reader here, the video game generation who can't go for more than two sentences without getting bored and needing some (irritating to my mind) sensory input. The way he writes isn't unlike the bells and whistles you find on a loud video game. I guess if your book is on Oprah, you don't have to consider the need to respect your reading audience's intelligence. I wish he'd put out a book with "just the facts". Having said that, it is an ...

Having said that, it is an important book for those who really wish to know how the body works and how to improve on it. His evaluation of the role inflammation and stress play in excess weight is very useful information for me. He doesn't tell much about where the inflammation comes from except for the categories of food that can cause it. Expect the AMA and FDA main-line position here on things like pollution, chemicals in soils and food, artificial stuff in food and especially the toxins in drugs as they are not discussed. All in all, an important book to have if you can wade through it.

I'm nowhere near finished. To have all this information helps immensely but like all "diets" there are restrictions that are hard to bear and, in this case, hard to understand. Bearing in mind these are drs. I didn't feel that they talked down to me but some of their counsel didn't really resonate with me either. I don't weigh myself every day. Never have. So why, suddenly, do I have to measure myself every day??? I's not like 5 inches are going to melt away overnight, only to return the following night, so why? They never explain this in a manner that satisfies me! As I said, I'm not finished with the book but so far... There is some to take and some to leave, just as in every other diet book I've ever bought and read. I will say that it goes into GREAT detail about diet and ... I'm nowhere near finished.

I will say that it goes into GREAT detail about diet and nutrition and touches on areas that have not previously been touched upon in other diet books so for that alone, it is a worthwhile investment.

good good good
I must first warn you that every second or third sentence in this book is a joke or pun. While I personally find this book to be highly amusing and entertaining, others may find the dosage of humor to be excessive. The negative reviews here are essentially, I believe, a result of personality clash. Not everyone can appreciate humorous reading, let alone interwoven with profoundly intricate (and serious) information about how the body works. I find the mixing of the two elements an unusual presentation. I think it works...IF you have a good sense of humor. The illustrations mirror the spirit of the text. They are as detailed as they are amusing. Missing out on reading this book would be unfortunate. I must reiterate that the insight this book offers on how the human body works (relative to ...

They are as detailed as they are amusing. Missing out on reading this book would be unfortunate. I must reiterate that the insight this book offers on how the human body works (relative to weight) is to an extent of detail that I (and probably you) have never read anywhere else. You'll learn from a cellular chemical reaction level WHY you shouldn't eat that jelly doughnut. I greatly admire that psychological and even spiritual issues are gently presented, as well. No boot camp mentality here. The authors are not above the use of pharmaceuticals or weight-loss surgery for someone to reach their goal. Even cosmetic surgery for after the weight is gone is discussed. They don't seem to hold any illusions. Yes, I read the deodorant theory. I don't have an intimate companion, either. Don't sweat the things that don't necessarily apply to you. What does and will apply to you can be IMMENSELY useful! The plan is not difficult to implement. Even if you use an eating plan other than the one presented in the book, read the book anyway. There's some really good information on what affects a person's weight, and you can use that information to your benefit.

You on a Diet
I purchased this after hearing Dr. Oz on Oprah. I knew alot about physiology yet was hearing new things that interested me. The connection with fats and sugars on metabolism, is made very clear in the book and with lots of drawings and clear descriptions,analogies really imprints on the brain the need to clean up our diets. The benefits are a shrinking waistline, healthier liver,arteries,and intestines. I have applied some of the suggestions,cleaning out the bad foods, right kinds of snacks,portion size and have noticed a change for the better. The 2 week diet in the book is reasonable...havent started it yet, may not need too if these other 1st suggestions are sufficient for me. The exercise routine is very good for those who cant get to a gym...not necessary. Have enjoyed doing it ... I purchased this after hearing Dr. Oz on Oprah.

Highly recommend this book, great motivator and based on accurate knowledge of the human body. Also very comforting to read if we get past the mental stuff that blocks path to eatting right our bodies actually have a "set point" and want to get there. We're not destined to be overweight. He discusses those issues and even offers suggestions to deal with those issues...very smart. The evidence, in the lives of those that apply these suggestions are the proof that this is appropriate advice.

You on a Diet
I decided to buy this book because it deals with belly fat and I am in serious desire to trim the fat off my middle. Because it was a NYTimes best seller and highly publicized and EBay price discounted I chose You On A Diet. Great choice - highly readable, punctuated with humorous remarks and comic drawings to illustrate the anatomical scene, and to leave you with visual memory of what happens with your insides when your diet is wacko. I find myself remembering some little devil character with a pitchfork, pinching my intestines, and so I bypass the fried fritters and go for a baked potato, etc. Also covered is the exercise aspect which inspired me to start riding my real bike again, and already friends are noticing I look good--feel good--Thanks, You On A Diet, I commend and ...
