Product Description
Created for the dieter who would rather follow science than the latest fad or celebrity, this book synthesizes years of research to present one dependable weight loss plan that really works. Using a combination of consistently proven diet and exercise strategies that require no special props or aids, readers are shown reliable ways to get weight off and keep it off. Information on calculating calorie needs, determining BMI (body mass index), and working out percentages of fats, carbs, and proteins in a diet are offered. The author leaves nothing to hypothesis, giving the truth about cellulite and how to tell when one's weight is a health risk. Fact is better than fiction where successful weight-loss is concerned and this book delivers all the scientific findings concisely in a convenient format.

 Great Book! April 16, 2009
W. Racca (San Antonio, TX United States)
A no nonsense approach to what really works. This book tells it like it is about dieting. Bottom line, it's all about calories and exercise to lose weight. If you want the truth, read this book.
 Good book January 11, 2009
Y. Purohit (Pittsburgh, PA)
This book is a very quick read and made some of the connections between diet and exercise very clear. I have loaned it to a lot of friends and they like it too.
Well Researched, Well Written, but Incomplete January 6, 2009

This is a quick and interesting read that is worth buying because it's well researched and has some valuable insights. On the other hand, the author is a good researcher, but he's not a nutrition specialist, so he doesn't address some finer points that would increase success. I suggest also reading The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan, written by a nutrition researcher, for additional information.
Excellent - straight to the point. September 20, 2007

Excellent book and an easy read. Just received it yesterday afternoon and already finished it. It is straight and to the point and not filled with a lot of extra fluff. Looking forward to putting the information into practice.
it really is no-nonsense! July 25, 2007

there's nothing fake about this book. Just the facts! If your skeptical about fad diets, or if your program will really help you lose weight AND keep it off, then this book is for you!!
Johnson has definitely done his research and sites many, many, MANY case studies to prove what works, what doesn't, and what doesn't make a difference which way you do it.
One of the best things about this book is each chapter has a summary. This is GREAT after you've read it, and you just want a quick refresher, or a boost of motivation or inspiration.
I also bought Johnson's 60 second motivator. The 2 go nicely together, but if i had to pick one, it would be this book. Besides which, there is a chapter in this book that reads very similar to the 60 second motivator anyway!
