As genuine as it gets! Jan 05, 2007
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 03, 2007
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!

Unbelievable Nov 07, 2006
When I read, "How I lost 500 pounds" I intended to just skim it and find here is just another weight loss book among many with nothing new to say. I expected the standard, everything in moderation, eat whole-grains, smaller more frequent meals, eat a helping of fruit at every meal, a list of exercises including how your supposed to space your hands a certain distance on the barbell, blah, blah, heard it all before. But I found I could not put this book down. Made me realize, all those other diet books out there were written by people who have never had a weight loss problem. Bill Phillips...come on! I gave his program a look and realized it was not only a scam, but just a marketing tool to peddle EAS products. Haven't we learned that lesson back in the 80's with Joe Weider & Muscle & Fitness magazine? Cailor has been there and he is no family buffoon, he's the real deal. Buy the book!
