For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management. Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In , Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat. Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start. With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet -- The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to your body on a diet.

"Fat Chances: The Secret Story of What's in Your Belly" by Michael F. Roizen, MD, and Mehmet C. Oz, MD
 Whether you're carrying a few extra pounds of fat on your thighs or a suitcase's worth in your belly, it's hard not to think about fat. You feel it when you walk, you roll on it when you sleep, and you curse it when you try to slide into last year's jeans. But while most of us are intimately familiar with how fat looks on the outside, we're not quite as familiar with how it works on the inside.As we explain in YOU: On a Diet, we believe that to change your body, you need to know your body. In the simplest form, everyone knows the formula for gaining weight. Daily buckets of ranch dip plus photo-album-sized hunks of cheesecake plus a life of couch-dwelling equals a very unfortunate conclusion: too-frequent popped buttons. But many of us really don't know how fat works and how it works against us. Here's the inside story on the story of your insides.

I thought for years I couldn't lose weight. My blood pressure was too high, my cholesterol was high and my clothes didn't look good on me. One night we happened to see Dr. Oz on Charlie Rose talking about his book and I made up my mind to buy this book and try it. I found it on amazon.com and had it within a week. This was in 2007. While I was reading it I started doing the things suggested, changing the way I thought about food and started losing weight. Following the things outlined, I lost 30 pounds and have kept it off. I went from a size 12 jeans to a size 4. My cholesterol and blood pressure came down. This is the third book I have ordered because I want to share my success with my friends and family.

I purchased this book from Amazon because I was so pleased with my last purchase "You Staying Young" by the same authors Dr.Roizen and Dr.Mehmet Oz.The book is very easy reading with many illustrations of how things work(in the body),illustrations of helpful exercises.and examples of menus for diets to achieve your goals.I wouldn't hesitate on buying any future books by Dr. Rozien and Dr.Oz.

I eat like food was going out of style, so this eat-all-you-want program suits me fine
My wife wished that I would lose weight, so I bought the book and bought into the program. I am 71 and have had a total hip replacement and coronary artery bypass.
RESULTS:
Weight 170, waist 35" (half my height), blood pressure 115/73, LDL <60, HDL 47-48, triglycerides <100, and I look muscular again.
LIFE CHANGES:
Social eating is a problem. Church pot-luck food smells and looks unappetizing, but I can bring my own food. I still eat beef and pork, but I buy cheap, lean cuts like bottom round, trim off all the fat, soak the meat in vinegar to make it tender, and grill it. White bread makes me feel bad, like a glucose high.
COMMENTS:
This is an eat-all-you-want-whenever-you-are-hungry way of life, not a restricted calorie diet. I liken the program to the way people ate and lived in a hunting-gathering economy. I like the program and was already more than half way there because my cardiologist had me on a diet of not more than 25% calories from fat. My cardiologist and my orthopedist are tickled pink that I have achieved the results they knew were possible. But some people will not buy into the program because they are not willing to give up sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour and gobs of saturated fat.
