Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've got at least a dozen diet books under my belt (not to mention just a few extra pounds) and finally I have found one that describes a world I understand. I am a veteran of the Zone diet (too hard to figure out), the Atkins diet (too dull and I felt awful), the carbohydrate addicts diet (managed to make up for all the missed carbs of the day in my one free meal)
and a whole bunch of others. When they didn't work I just figured it was me. I knew these diets had worked for friends. I couldn't figure out why they didn't work for me. This book tells me what I should have known all along: one size doesn't fit all. And none of them were working for me. Now I understand why. Dr. Sanders book helped me recognize that the best diet for
me is one that lets me get the variety I need by looking at calories rather than carbs. And while I still eat fewer carbs that I used to, I understand now that I can't be happy on a diet that makes bread completely off limits.I wanted a low carb diet because my friends told me I'd never be hungry and it wasn't true. But on this diet, I'm never hungry and I feel free to eat the foods I love and I'm losing weight like crazy.
Another aspect of this book that I think makes it so great is that the author explains how all this works. I'm no dummy I am pretty well informed about food and nutrition, but there was alot of info in this book that I just didn't know.
For me, knowing how something works helps me figure out how to do it my way. For instance, now I know it's protein that makes me feel full and variety that makes me feel satisfied. I can choose meals and snacks that I'm sure will hit the spot -- make me feel full and keep me full until
the next meal or snack. And feeling full, and knowing that I'm going to feel full, makes it easy for me to stick to this diet.
One thing you need to know about this book -- and I was prewarned so let me pass it on to you -- is that you won't be able to start the diet the day you buy the book. Dr. Sanders makes you keep a diary of what you eat for one week before
you start. Writing all that down isn't easy and yet doing it was probably the best investment I've made in my health in quite a long time. Maybe ever.
This may be the last diet book I'll ever need to buy.

We all have different shapes, different tastes, and different lifestyles, so why should one diet work for everyone? How can you take the guesswork out of selecting the diet that's a perfect fit for you? Lisa Sanders, M.D., an internist and a researcher at the Yale University School of Medicine, has spent the past 5 years analyzing more than 700 weight-loss programs and has uncovered a fundamental truth about dieting: Sustainable weight loss is only possible on a diet that fits your food preferences, satiety signals, lifestyle, and medical profile. You can lose weight with many diets -- but you can keep the weight off only with a diet that satisfies all of you. Building on her research, Dr. Sanders has designed the first science-based method for creating a customized weight-loss plan that works for you -- for life! The key to her plan is an interactive questionnaire that covers everything from your family and medical histories to the foods that tickle your tastebuds, relieve your stress, and trigger feelings of satisfaction. The answers to these questions guide you to the basic diet that will help you lose weight for life. Dr. Sanders then reveals how to customize that diet to accommodate your lifestyle, activity level, and personal tastes. The Perfect Fit Diet is a reliable compass for navigating the thicket of competing diet claims, a rational path for the thinking person who wants to lose weight. Low-carb, high-fat. High-carb, low-fat. Eat like a caveman. Eat in "The Zone." Eat on "The Beach." Does anything really work? More important, will any of it work for you? Until now, the only way to find the right diet has been through a maddening guessing game. And there's nothing more frustrating than failing, then gaining back all of the weight -- and more! Lisa Sanders, M.D., has made it her mission to find out how diets really work and why, despite the odds, some dieters are able to take the weight off and keep it off. She's spent years poring over hundreds and hundreds of medical studies -- and guess what? Each of these diets works -- for the right person. The trick is to find the diet that works for you. Dr. Sanders has uncovered the secret to matching the dieter to the weight-loss program -- one that is most suited to the dieter's tastes, lifestyle, and cravings. Dr. Sanders's revolutionary Perfect Fit Questionnaire will eliminate the guesswork and guide you to your Perfect Fit Diet, pointing you to one of three basic diets. You'll then customize that diet to create a perfectly personalized plan -- one that allows you to shed those pounds, without feeling hungry or deprived, for a lifetime!
