5.0 out of 5 stars It's amazing and it works!! 19 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have heard Professor Fletcher speak at a couple of business events and I was keen to find out how his ideas translate to weight-loss. The book does not disappoint.

Everyone knows that diets don’t work in the long-term, and this book has a well researched scientific explanation as to why – and, more importantly, it has a solution. As the title implies, it has absolutely nothing to do with food, calories or carbs. This book is a methodology for breaking bad habits – in this case eating habits, but you’ll find it applies to all sorts of other areas of your life too.

I have a habit of sitting down in front of the television with a cup of tea and the biscuit tin. If, as the book suggests, I go for an evening without watching television and instead write a letter to an old friend, go for a walk or do some jobs around the house, I have changed the pattern of behaviour that led to scoffing loads of biscuits and have not eaten them – without even thinking about it.

And that is the real power of this book. It provides a structured, 28-day programme for breaking bad habits, forming better ones, and it doesn’t require willpower to make it work. I'm finding it really fun, liberating and powerful to tick off the ‘Do Something Different’ things in the book, and enjoying all sorts of new experiences along the way. This has led to changes in my eating habits already, and the amount of physical exercise I was getting, without having to follow a ‘diet’ or an ‘exercise programme’.

The book is peppered with comments from dieticians and researchers that back up the No Diet Diet methodology, and throughout I found its approach refreshing and motivational.

If you’ve ever forced yourself through some diet or exercise regime and lost weight, only to put it back on again, this book will show you why the old approaches never work and give you a new way to lose weight that will be the most fun you’ve ever had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try it before you say it can't work! 30 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
4 months ago I bought this book.

I've followed its advice and am now 22 pounds lighter than I was then and still steadily, gently losing weight.

Before this book I'd got to the point where I just couldn't shift any weight even with diets that had previously helped.

The only warning I'd give you is - be prepared to buy new pairs of trousers - all your old ones will end up falling off!

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY TRUE 12 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have tried many diets, lost weight but always gained after a number of months, usually down hearted after failing again. Since reading this book it has made me look at my life style and I am now trying to break nearly all my mundane habits. I work full time 7.30am until 6.00pm and later, get in from work, eat, watch tv and go to bed, 5 days a week. By eating a prepared breakfast (fresh fruit salad) followed by grain brown bread, eating a balanced lunch and dinner I find I have far more energy and heaps of self esteem. I still eat chocolate and all the bad things, but I find I am not comfort eating and craving. The trick for me is when I get home I now look forward to an active evening. I have made myself go out whether it be for a walk, visiting friends or going salsa dancing, this is the one that I have found most rewarding and beneficial as I enjoy it and its fantastic exercise. I no longer sit on the settee watching tv making myself miserable wishing I was thin. Because I have now broken many lazy habits I now have far more energy, I've down sized 2 sizes with ease, my mind is active and I have now a new lease of life.
