Summary: Go Hunk!!!
Comment: From Chunk to Hunk is excellent! His accomplishment of losing 171 pounds is impressive and lends credence to his advice, and the advice is sane, sensible and solid (eat less, move more, etc). I loved his very positive attitude about the whole weight loss game, and found it inspirational that he had this attitude both when he was at his higher weights, with a long way to go, and when he was nearing his goal and only losing a small amount each month. I have some weight to lose, and have found adopting his positive, enthusiastic attitude about weight loss has helped me "stick with it" rather than the beating myself up which I formerly did, which formerly caused me to get discouraged and quit. Some of his best advice involved maintaining a positive attitude, everything in moderation, the importance of exercise,and the importance of natural foods and sensible eating rather than starvation or crash diets, pills or surgery. Most importantly, he urged people to realize they are in control of their weight and health - I know with weight, its always easy for me to tell myself I can't control what I eat when I'm stressed, pressed for time, under pressure, traveling, (wearing green, under a full moon, etc, etc, etc), but his book showed what nonsense this is!
Go Hunk!!!

Summary: Fred exposes the dirty little "secret" that everyone knows.
Comment: There are going to be a lot of diet experts that dislike this book.
Fred Anderson is the real expert. He's a man who knows the reality of weight loss and faced the hard facts head on. He had diabetes and wasn't taking care of himself. He saw his future in a medical reality show in which a diabetic man had to have his leg amputated below the knee because of neglecting his condition. Fred made a decision at that point and didn't look back, throwing the snack cakes he was shoving in his face into the garbage instead.
Thus began Fred's journey. Along the way, he found you don't need fad diets, diet programs, shakes, pills or anything like that to lose weight. He knew the dirty little secret that every fat person knows:
If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight.
It's not your genetics, it's not your "glands", it's "hand to mouth syndrome" and "sit on your butt-itis". He changed his way of doing things, beginning with excercise. He started treading water in a pool, because that was all he could handle. He was persistent and his diabetes symptoms disappeared in a matter of weeks. He also changed his diet. He didn't starve himself, he didn't count calories, he just started eating healthy food and stopped eating junk.
You'd think this would be common sense, but it's not. Our society is so ridden with a victim mentality that allows people to lie to themselves and say that they don't have control over their weight. There are a dozens of experts (all with books to sell) to tell them that it's not their fault. It's their genetics, their "set point", the way they were raised, it's the fast food ads, etc. Fat people are great at deluding themselves and there's an entire weight loss industry that relies on getting people to believe that they can't help themselves.
Fred proves it's all a series of choices. Every day we decide: Do I get out of the rack a half an hour early and take a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood or do I sleep in? Do I swing by the drive-through on the way home from work, or do I eat a healthy meal at home?
This is not a diet book. It's a chronicle of his (and his wife Robyn's) internet weblog detailing their weight loss escapades. Along the way, he graphically describes the ways that obesity destroys one's ability to live life. As he loses weight, the tells you all about the things that thin people take for granted that he's able to enjoy once again. It's inspirational and a fun read, but it's not going to give you lots of wiggle room. Once you read it, there's no more excuses, you either make the decision to lose weight and get in shape or you don't.
If you really want to lose weight, buy this book and leave the hucksters in the dust where they belong.
