You On A Diet The Owners Manual for Waist Management
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.

5 Stars Very informative
The book goes into great detail about the body and the effect of food on it. Much more than a “diet” book. It does have a sensible eating plan too.

5 Stars A cut above
This is not your typical run of the mill, heard it all before kind of diet book. This book explains in user friendly scientific terms how the body works and it’S humorous approach makes the book entertaining and highly informative at the same time. I’ve read plenty of diet books through the years and this one leaves them all in the dust. Throw all your diet books away and get this one. You won’t be sorry!
2 Stars I’m so disappointed in this book!
I’m really glad that I got this book from the library and didn’t buy it. I really dislike the writing style and presentation — what a disappointment! Dr. Oz is so interesting when he appears on Oprah and this book is nothing like what I would expect from him, it’s just awful. Another reviewer said that they can understand adding some levity to what might otherwise be very dry content, but in EVERY paragraph! I agree. The constant quips become very distracting!! Here are some examples of what you’ll read a LOT of…(pg. 78) “They say that a woman thinks with her heart, and a man thinks with his personal periscope, but when it comes to sheer anatomy, the organ closest to your brain isn’t the one that flutters over a midnight serenade or the one that tingles over a lingerie catalog. It’s the one that coils through your gut like a sleeping python.” (Pg. 129) “So, while you may think that spinning class or Bikram yoga is the primary pathway to frying fat, physical activity is only a fraction of it. You burn most of your calories by keeping your heart pumping, your brain remembering your spouse’s birthday, and your liver disposing of last night’s vodka concoction.” (pg. 130) “Sure, we all know that raging hormones can make a teenage boy become sex obsessed or give a menopausal woman hot flashes so bad she feels as though she’s in Death Valley in August. But you may not know that your hormones have a lot to do with whether or not you’re going to look good in a Speedo.” What on Earth is that all about? Perhaps I prefer a more straightforward writing style and you might enjoy that type of writing, but I still can’t help but wonder what their editor was thinking when he read this nonesense. In addition to that, the “Factoids,” “Myth Busters” and other tidbits of information that could have been very helpful to the reader, instead are inserted in the middle of paragraphs on every page are just all over the place. I suggest that you check this book out from the local library before buying it because you might save yourself some money. I’m glad I did. Sorry, Dr. Oz!
5 Stars Fabulous!
Always great advice from these authors…medically sound, safe and very matter of fact. I read everything I can get my hands on by these guys. They break everything down so there is no confusion and they insert humor to make it enjoyable to read…this isn’t just another “diet” type book that reads blah, blah, blah, blah. Buy it, you’ll love it.
