ok see review some other place but i forgot where ... ;-) ( )

I received a free copy of this book to read & review honestly. And honestly... I wasted the 10 minutes reading it.

This is very short. 16 pages. Of common sense rhetoric.

Granted, the author makes good points. Americans are getting obese simply because it is a matter of convenience. As mentioned in the "book" - it's more convenient to warm up a microwave meal & sit on the couch & eat it while watching TV, than it is to take those same 30 minutes to prepare a nutritious meal. The bottom line for the book is that people aren't respecting themselves / their bodies enough to (1) exercise and (2) eat nutritionally sound meals. (By the way - you now owe me 99 cents, because that is what you would have paid to read this book.) But wait... that's not all.... (said in my best "As Seen On TV" commercial voice): If you just follow the link in the book you will get to the "main event" -- a $37/$47/$57 program for Weight. Loss. Success!!!

I get it. The author is excited about this diet / exercise program she found & is either promoting it for them, or solely for her own gain. Either way, it's a trap. Save your $1 & use it to buy a whistle that you can hang around your neck as a safety feature when you go take a walk in the evening. ( )

A very informative short book on the real reason we fail to lose weight. I believe others would definately benefit from this information. ( )

This book is so simple it is like "The Secret" for people that need to lose weight :) ( )

I was not sure what to expect when I read DIETS SUCK: DISCOVER WHY YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT AND LOSE THE FAT FOREVER by Janice Rivers. This book was not it. It had nothing new to offer me. She said there are two questions to ask yourself: Why do you overeat and why don’t you exercise? I know why. Food tastes good especially when prepared with good ingredients from scratch (I have been working on getting rid of the processed foods in my diet.) and I hate to sweat. What I was hoping for was some solutions but I got none. I was also extremely disappointed by the conversation between her and a client at the end of the book. I felt it was a putdown, a browbeating, and an accusation against everyone overweight. If you are looking for help in losing weight and keeping it off, DIETS SUCK: DISCOVER WHY YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT AND LOSE THE FAT FOREVER is not it. Nothing new is given here. ( )
