    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.

    4 out of 5 stars 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.


    5 out of 5 stars it really is no-nonsense!   July 25, 2007
     5 out of 5 found this review helpful

    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!

    5 out of 5 stars The only strategy that works   November 15, 2006
     7 out of 7 found this review helpful

    I have lost 25 lbs in the last 15 weeks essentially using the strategies given in this book. I had tried Atkins, South Beach diets etc. etc. and then stumbled upon the "Calorie Deficit" based weight reduction strategy on the Internet. So I actually started following this even before reading this book - but I think this book encapsulates the simplicity of this strategy extremely well without any of the hype. After having tried all sorts of stuff, I would say that diet is about 75% of weight loss but diet + exercise and slow weight loss (about 1.5 LBS/week) is the best and most sustainable way of losing weight. Of course, I have to keep it off for the rest of my life - but the knowledge of calories in every food that I consume makes this a lifestyle choice and I am hopeful will help with keeping the weight off. Good luck to everyone!


    5 out of 5 stars As Concise as It Gets   February 17, 2006
     39 out of 39 found this review helpful

    No-nonsense style, very concise (except for various calculation examples, which might be good, as math literacy is alien concept for most).

    About myself: 12 years ago I was 160 lbs. (I am 5'9"). Once I hit 230 lbs a few weeks back, I got myself a stack of books, including this one, to avoid previous failures (210 lbs to 190 lbs 2 years ago and gaining it all back and some more).

    Jim Johnson's advice was instrumental in setting up my diet and stopping systemic overeating. So now I am under 218 lbs and feeling great on 1500 calories a day. Even more importantly, now I know there is no quick fix - one has to change a lifestyle. It is all about patience, perseverance and will to treat your body right.

    The only suggestion: to count calories use software, not paper. I use FitDay.com - it's free.
