YOU: On A Diet Revised Edition

The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

By: Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet Oz

Narrated by: Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet Oz

As they did with the revised edition of YOU: The Owner’s Manual, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz have updated their classic, international bestseller on diet. This nearly three million copy seller is filled with new information on emotional eating, the latest fad diets, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and over a hundred recipes.

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 YOU: On a Diet, 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.

New Helpful Information

Took notes. Lots of things presented were very helpful and new. Will try to add to regime.

A Life Altering Education

This book has made a tremendous difference in my life. It has empowered me with the knowledge of how my body works with and how it processes the foods that I eat. I wish that I could have discovered it earlier and maybe I could have saved myself from some of the guilt and shame that I have experienced, but better late than never. Now I know that what I eat rebounds and resounds throughout my entire body and that I no longer have to be a slave to cravings and depression. I love that you go in detail on how to reduce my ghrelin and increase my leptin levels and also that we can't get rid of our genes BUT that we can turn them off. One of the biggest and most critical things I took from this book is that like a GPS, if you get off track just make that U-turn as soon as possible and continue on to the destination of optimal health! Thank you Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen for caring enough to want to make a difference in our nation and peoples lives. I don't think that I have enough space to tell you all that you have helped me with, but please know that by your education I have made a mental change in how I appreciate this awesome God given body! Thanks again.

Informative

This book taught me some helpful information about how the digestion system works. There are a lot of practical tips to incorporate into your healthy eating plan. It was well worth the listen.

Pretty good

I liked the book, and I appreciate having the authors as narrators. However, one reviewer gave this a 1 star rating because the "PDF" awas not included. However, if you look at the description, there IS an "accompanying" file that you can download. I think it would be clearer if the PDF link appeared in the "Library" section as well, but you have to go back to the book description to download the files.

Great book but confusing PDF

The PDF has to be downloaded separately from the Overview on Audible when you are previewing the book. It is 78 pages long!! There is a lot of paper for this audiobook, but it is great to have on hand!
