Summary: Good concept . . . if you can do it
Comment: This book, and other anti-dieting books like it, make a lot of sense. I agree with everything the author says: consistent dieting does eventually cause weight gain in most people over a period of time. I'm living proof of this.
However, with all that said, I just couldn't follow the advice to eat only when hungry. In a sense, this advice became like another dieting "rule." If I ate for anything other than hunger, I'd feel as if I'd "broken the diet." Also, our society in some ways revolves around eating events: Going out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner; sitting down for dinner with the family; having a holiday meal. It was nearly impossible for me to avoid all that and eat only when hungry; I would feel like more of a freak saying "Oh, I'm not eating dinner with you tonight, honey. I'm not hungry."
Beyond that, I think that I've been totally ruined by my past dieting escapades. I really think it would take some intense treatment to rid me of the dieting mentality. This is why whenever I've tried this "eat-only-when-hungry" concept, I've ended up gaining and gaining. I think I become attracted to this type of book when I just can't stand another diet. But rather than using it as a diet cure, I tend to use it as something that gives me permission to go off dieting and eat whatever I want.
This is just me, though, and someone with a stronger will might have a different experience. Also, another part of me thinks that there are some perfectly normal thin people out there who actually do watch their weight. They don't obsess with it; they just watch it. So, in this sense, dieting is not the kiss of death for them.
Overall, this book can be inspiring (despite the car-salesman-like tone the author often uses), but I do not believe that it will work for everyone.

Summary: It's Working!!! This book/method is changing my life!
Comment: If you've been on a diet, I've probably tried it too. If you've done some cardio/yoga/pilates/weightlifting/hypnosis program to lose weight, I've probably tried that too. So I realize that if someone told you that you don't need to diet or exercise to lose weight, you'd probably freak out a little bit (just like I did).
But please Give this method a chance - it actually works! I've lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks. My boyfriend has lost 10 lbs. We're also using a book called The Overfed Head by Rob Stevens. The methodology is similar, and the two books complement each other well.
Seriously, stop dieting. Stop depriving yourself. Start losing weight. You'll feel so much better. It's not a gimmick. It's not a diet. It's real life.

Summary: Diets Don't Work, Doesn't
Comment: You can eat when your hungry and stop when you are satisfied and still not lose weight if you are eating mostly the wrong kinds of foods. It was only when I started eating right(lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains)that I started losing weight!!! I also found that when I started eating the fruits and vegetables that I didn't crave the bad things (candy and chips)so much.

Summary: no title
Comment: It is really like a journal, more pages to write on than read. Lots of wisdom here, and not just on food and weight, but on living life and being happy, and doing what you want to do. He makes it all seem so simple!
