Summary: Re-adjust your thinking about weight...
Comment: With all of the diet/health books centered around the "perfect weight" and our obsession with "thinness", this book is a welcomed change. It takes this preoccupation with weight and turns it into a realistic, holistic approach that is much easier to swallow than a structured, round-the-clock calorie-controlled program. It is a quick read that will be one of your greatest references on weight control. If you are looking to get off the "diet" truck, here's your chance to re-adjust your thinking on weight control. It is easy to understand, and the results are realized. Coming from a former model who knew how many calories were in a vitamin C tablet, this new way of thinking is appreciated. Peace of mind is the result...and enjoyment of life's pleasures without guilt.

Summary: If it's not working, then you're not paying attention. . .
Comment: Dr. Deepak Chopra has done it again, this time with a book that focuses on one of America's main concerns: weight loss. Rather than doling out questionable information about low-carb, high-protein, or low-fat plans, Dr. Chopra turns to Ayurvedic medicine and offers a plan which anyone can follow. It's quite simple: determine your main body type from the three doshas -- vata, pitta, or kapha -- and then follow the suggestions provided so as to achieve balance in not only weight, but life as a whole. Most of Dr. Chopra's lessons should strike a chord within us -- they are inherent pearls of wisdom that many have unfortunately chosen to forget or have disregarded. Once you recommit yourself to this healthy way of living, get ready for incredible changes! In other words, *don't* expect instant weight loss (this is not a "too good to be true" program), but *do* expect healthy weight loss and a new outlook on life beyond food. As Dr. Chopra points out, the mind and body work together -- and his plan concentrates on both.

Summary: Not-So-Perfect Book about Perfect Weight
Comment: This book was less than helpful for me. First of all, the section on figuring out your body type was confusing and I did not come up with a clear-cut answer. Although this book contained some interesting theories and ideas, the majority of the techniques and suggestions are completely impractical for anyone with a normal life, schedule and job. For example, I work from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and most days without a lunch "break". I eat in the car on the way to my next client. So how am I supposed to eat a large, hot meal at a specific time, made of freshly cooked food and not leftovers? Really, unless they invent microwave ovens for cars, it's not going to happen. Also, some of the other ideas were just downright unappealing to me, bordering on disgusting (drinking boiled warm milk and sipping hot water with ginger all day while eliminating cold drinks). This plan may be very effective for the independently wealthy who are able to sit meditating in a beatiful natural setting and have a personal shopper and chef to wait on them. But for the rest of us, this book does not contain much practical advice for people with busy lives. I know myself and this is a weight loss program requiring too many radical changes and impractical ideas that I would never get past the first week. I found this book to be a not-so-perfect weight loss theory.
