Description: Self-improvement guru Phillip McGraw knows you’re looking for “something that melts fat off like sun melts ice,” but, he reminds you, “losing weight is not ‘quick and easy’ and you know it.” McGraw, one of Oprah’s favorite sidekicks and host of his own television show, promises that you will succeed with his methods, because you will change “from the inside out.” McGraw’s 7 Keys are sound–not quick. First, you have to understand and face your “personal truth”–what you think about yourself and your weight–and replace toxic messages with positive thoughts. Next, step by step, you learn how to counter emotional eating, change your environment, master impulse eating, choose foods, adopt an exercise habit, and assemble a support circle. Each step is clearly explained and personalized with case studies, fill-in charts, and self-tests. His nutrition plan emphasizes foods with high nutritional yields for few calories, and that cannot be eaten quickly (generally because they’re high in fiber), so you’re less likely to overeat. McGraw is the author of Life Strategies, Relationship Rescue, and Self Matters. Here he offers his unique, , tell-it-like-it-is, take-no-prisoners style to help you change “what you eat, why you eat, where you eat, when you eat, and how you eat,” all in an individualized approach that’s bound to be effective. Highly recommended. –Joan Price
Customer Comments: I have always liked Dr. Phil’s approach to things and was very excited to see what he had to say about the subject of weight loss. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the book. Without going into a lot of detail, the forte of this book is its emphasis on the often neglected behavioral strategies needed to lose weight. We all know to stop eating so much, but this book makes you think about such things as enlisting a circle of support and eating for emotional reasons. All in all its a great book and I give it 5 stars easy.

…by what people are saying in their reviews! If Dr. Phil is “Fat”, I say “Bring it on!” As someone who has struggled with weight her whole life, I’d give anything to be as “fat” as he is!
If you don’t like a book, give constructive critism, without throwing personal stones. It’s annoying to more mature audiences.
I’ll give the book a proper review once I finish reading it.

– The fourth key is: Intentional exercise.
– The fifth key is: Eating high nutritional foods.
