This book published in 1990 is thesequel to Bob's original book "Diets Don't Work". Bob hassince updated and revised the "Diet's Don't Work" book(published 1996). Both books cover essentially the same informationwith only slight variation. I recommend reading one or the other tohelp you get off the diet roller coaster!

I first read this book about six years ago when I gained 25 pounds as a college freshman. I realized then that I was eating compulsively and lost 10 pounds almost immediately when I focused on the principles in the book. I just picked it up again when I found myself eating without thinking and gaining weight again, and it was so easy to get back to a healthy way of thinking and eating. This book makes so much sense and works because you're not depriving yourself, and you look at food in a whole new light. I really recommend it to anyone with weight or eating issues. It has done so much for me.
