Summary: A holistic and educational approach to weight loss
Comment: In some ways this is another book on the difficulties of dieting and why it often does not work. On the other hand, it provides one of the most thorough examinations of weight problems that you can find. Most of the book has almost nothing to do with dieting. Instead the author examines emotional factors in weight control, psychological factors, self-esteem, biochemical individuality, hormones, minerals, toxicity, food allergies, blood type, emotional balance, stress, toxic pollutants, and even parasites. In short, she examines all the various factors that have been attributed to weight problems.

She does an excellent job of discussing the role of psychological factors and how they influence your weight. Whether it is eating for the wrong reasons, dealing with limiting beliefs, healing your inner child, dealing with shame or a critical inner voice, or self-esteem, no area escapes examination. She even points an accusing finger in the direction of doctors, referring to some as "finger-pointers in white lab coats".

Another particularly good part of the book is where she discusses how a diet has to fit you. An effective diet has to match your biochemical individuality, carbohydrate sensitivity, insulin resistance, thyroid function and metabolic rate, hormone balance, etc.

Some readers may have problems where she varies from the traditional view and heads off into the area of alternative medicine. However, she makes a valid point that in the interest of presenting a thorough examination of the issue she has included this information. In this section she closely examines toxicity and how to detoxify your body. Included is information on colon cleansing and parasites as well as the use of natural remedies.

I have to say it is refreshing to find a book that looks at this problem from all sides instead of taking the position that something that worked for one person is the perfect solution for everyone. It just is not that simple. "Fat and Furious" is a highly recommended read for anyone seeking a solution to diets that don't work and who want to understand the various factors involved in controlling your weight.
