Diet books and videos fill my shelves, but I am still overweight! I bought this book as it had a new approach to weight control including a CDRom. It hasn't worked so far for me (after one month I have lost only one kilo), BUT I understand better why I am overweight and I have solved a lot of issues in my life. I am confident that I will lose weight slowly with time, as it is a global approach to weight control and life management. I particularly like listening to the CDRom, it provides a real moment of relaxation and I don't feel guilty as I am "working" rather than just doing nothing! If you are looking for a quick fix, this is not for you; if you want to get to the boottom of your problem and build a new, healthier life (mental as well as physical) then BUY.
