 As genuine as it gets! Jan 04, 2007
By Lawrence Davies
"Big Lar"
I bought both of his books, one for me and one for my father. Since this book is very similar to his other book, The review ends up being very similar. Both books are very original though.
The book begins with the author giving us a series of fun short stories that examine some of his previous attempts to lose weight, but he then analyzes why each diet worked yet ultimately failed. He shows you why fad diets and diet pills truly don't work by citing his real-life experiences. He lost 593 pounds through cronic yo-yo dieting. He then shows you how he finally lost his final 114 pounds in a really interesting and inspiring step-by-step manner. He shows you that he is a regular person, too. That is why this book is so real and genuine. He really captures the fact that most of us have been through similar episodes in life. This part of the book is really intriguing.
The next part of the book is a brilliant summary of the 50 best tips assembles from his real-life trial& error, and countless hours of research, as well as interviewing hundreds of other successful dieters. The beauty of this part of the book is how he takes complicated scientific principles and explains them in such a layman's way citing his real-life testing and the trial & error of others. I have never seen this information explained in such a human and genuine way. You will truly understand what to do and how to do it when you put the book down. That is what separates this book from others--his original way explaining of things! The author is an excellent writer as well!
I truly endorse this book as a sensible plan that can help anyone of all ages! Five-stars from me!

Truly, a fantastic breath of fresh air! WOW! Jan 02, 2007

"The Spare Tire"
What a great read. The author spills his guts out in an effort to help us. How genuine!
If you are not motivated to lose weight after reading this book, nothing will help you! Step by step and pound by pound, he shows you how he finally persevered and triumphed.
Also, he has put together 50 of the best tips that he compiled from researching every diet book and plan, as well as interviewing hundreds of successful dieters. A king of "best of" guide, if you will.
This is truly as good as it gets. This is the best weight-loss book I have ever encountered. You cannot go wrong with this thing--BUY IT!
 Good book at first, then goes way downhill Jul 09, 2011
By Carol S. Cairns
I was so excited when I saw the name of this book on amazon. I thought it was going to be about someone who went on a bunch of diets then discovered one and then lost weight. But it really wasn't. It was about someone who went on basically the same diet over and over, and finally got it right. I found the part at the beginning interesting, when he was just starting out. But once he discovered his 6 meal a day diet plus exercise, he kept trying that one and then one time it clicked and he succeeded. The back cover of the book said he had tried "every diet imaginable." Come on. He did not. He never tried weight watchers, or pills, or any of the other very popular diets that have been out there for years.
Plus this guy is heavily into weight lifting. I found that part boring as well. Not too many people are into that.
Anyways, I was disappointed.
