The Diet Docs' Guide to Permanent Weight Loss: Secrets to Metabolic Transformation

The authors of this book have a sense of humor that makes it easy to read. The program is easy to stick to. My husband and I have both lost weight with this book.

If you've tried to "eat right" and "exercise more" on your own only to end up disappointed when the scale won't budge, buy this book! The authors say they want to teach you to become your own nutritionist, and that is what will happen once you read this book. I have been on this diet for a little over a month, and have lost 10 pounds. My husband has lost 16. The best part about this book is the "Diet Docs' Rx," which gives you a specific target range of calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat). Then, if you're not getting the results you want, the authors include troubleshooting information. They show you how to make this plan work for YOU. I've never read a book where I've learned so much about what happens inside my body nutritionally (and I've read a lot of health books.) I'm not a "science person," and yet I could understand what the authors were talking about completely. Plus, the authors keep things interesting with the occasional Star Wars reference and other lighthearted humor. (I mean, Star Wars references in a diet book? How cool is that?!) Also, the recipes are REALLY good. I haven't tried one yet that I didn't love. For anyone who's familiar with Eating for Life, these recipes are just as good (maybe better?) but faster and easier! If you stick to the plan in this book, you WILL lose weight in a safe and healthy way.

This is hands down the best diet book on the market. It teaches the reader to be thier own nutritionist and that is the only way to make long lasting changes! I'm a personal trainer that uses Dr. Joe and I require all my clients to read this book before we talk about nutrition.

I have been following the plan laid out in this book for a little over two months now and have lost 20 pounds. Yes, tracking your macro-nutrients and reading labels is some work at first, but as you adjust to the portion sizes and what kinds of food to look for, it becomes easier. This book may have advice that is common sense and laid out in other formats elsewhere, but I really liked the authors' writing style and the way the information is presented. Plus, Dr. Uloth actually utilized this plan and was successful. I've seen my food habits change, and I've still eaten things I like. I was also inspired to begin a fitness routine and feel better than I have in a long time!

This book is a solution to a problem that our entire country needs to hear! We are literally killing ourselves with food! We eat the wrong proportions of the wrong kinds of things. The treatise explains what happens to your body when you eat fat, carbohydrates and protein in the wrong way. It gives you a solution on how to control your metabolism to burn fat. It is work in the beginning because you are given the tools to eventually become your own nutritionist. I love it. I finally have a solution to a life long problem. I now know what to do and I shall continue to do it as long as I live! Thank you Dr. Joe & Dr. Scott!
