Phil bravely states that he will not tell me what I want to hear; he seems to revel in his “I call it as I see it; I will tell you the truth” philosophy. Effective weight control will never be “quick and easy”, but that is “doable”. His book espouses a philosophy that is brilliant in its simplicity. He includes a wealth of self-analysis in the form of assessments, timelines, goal setting, readiness profiles and action plans. His book incorporates concrete details for daily planning and food action plans, which include a specific system of meal planning that is widely used by dietitians and health organizations. He describes a divided-plate system for meal planning: ¼ protein, ¼ starch, and ½ low-calorie, high-fiber plant-based food—fruits and vegetables. Dr. Phil has helped me see that by replacing those parts of my life that are self-defeating for those which are self-affirming, my weight, my health and my life can change dramatically. In order to achieve permanent weight loss, I have to be totally, consciously in charge of everything and myself I do, think, and feel. Dr. Phil outlines all the steps and tools in this book to achieve this
