"This is by far the most comprehensive book on losing weight I've read. If losing weight is about "just eating healthfully and exercising" why don't we all do it? Because it's hugely psychological. Death of the Diet helps tremendously because not only does it teach you what to do, but also how to implement it consistently - the missing key to long-term results."
