You on a Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management by Michael F. Roizen (Hardcover)

Description:

For the first time in our history, scientists are discovering 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 bestselling You series, are now providing this cutting-edge information in an easy to understand format to help you shave inches off your waist 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 stimulate you with equal parts of 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. They will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and 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.

With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, You on a Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume so that you'll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to your body on a diet.

Enlightening

msdiannemg from Denver, CO, Feb 9, 2009

About three months or so ago, I was ordered by my doctor to purchase this book. Doctors have so little time these days, and this gave me an actual guideline to follow. Buying the book through Overstock.com, made it easy on my time and pocketbook to do so. This book is loaded with humor: relevant facts about nutrients and digestion; the purposes and workings of our internal organs; where hormones are produced and how we screw them up. My most confounding surprise came when the book revealed that the human body has an "Omentum". This thing called an "Omentum" explained many mysteries for me. It's about time that someone had the initiative and gumption to bring this to our attention. Reading this book has led me into five different research projects to heal myself and my family. It has succeeded in moving me to make changes that are beneficial to our lives. Since reading this book, I have purchased more as presents for family and friends. The authors have truely been inspirational in their ability to explain and motivate the previously ignorant . This book did not embarrass me of my ignorance, but made me feel overjoyed at the discoveries. If I hadn't been home and tuned in to "Opera", even a well-known physician like Dr. Oz would have escaped my attention. I really appreciate this book!

Great Resource

chereek from Houston, TX, Apr 4, 2008

This is a great book - written so well and very simply put so that anyone will understand the digestive processes and what goes on when we eat the things we eat - good and bad. Dr OZ uses humor very well to help him drive the point. Great Read!

You on a diet

sbish from Maryland, Feb 25, 2008

You on a Diet is a safe way to change your eating habits to more fiber, less sugar and 30 minutes of exercise everyday. This book explains how your body breaks down and utilizes each type of food we should and shouldn't eat. Very informative.
