This is the Bible of dieting! If I could recommend only one book about dieting I would definitely chose this!

I’ve been following Lyle on and off since the early days of internet chat groups. I always found his information to be solid, backed by a combination of real science and field experience. All I can say is that this ebook provides a great weight loss framework with great practical guidance and advice. It is a shame more people don’t know about it.

My favorite of Lyle’s books. Practical and informative. Dieters sometimes need to be talked down off the ledge and this book provides good, calming advice while also including lots of info on what to do at each stage of a dieter’s experience.

I can’t decide if this book or the Ketogenic Diet is my favorite. I read the Ketogenic Diet first and was blown away by the quality of information. This one is more useful to my current efforts to get to and stay at a healthy weight or body fat percentage. I think I’ve come to expect a certain level of quality and readability so it wasn’t as surprising to see it here. If I’d read it first, I’d probably find it to be my clear favorite. The info on refeeds and diet breaks was new to me and very interesting. I like that he really addresses the psychology of dieting and finding something you can live with, that works with your goals and quirks, while also giving info about minimum / ideal macros on nutrients and where different breakdowns in macros might be useful. I think this book probably makes the best starting point of all the books here – a good baseline that can be built on with others filling in more details depending on your goals.

I bought this in 2005 or 2006 and nobody was talking about diet breaks and refeeds on long diets when this came out, the common advice was to just use “willpower” to stick it out. If there was ever a clear example of Lyle being far ahead of the fitness game (or rather, the rest of the field catching up) – this is it.

The advice given is just as useful today as it was then and I highly recommend it.

A diet book like no other. Explains all aspects of dieting and more importantly how to schedule free meals, refeeds and diet breaks.

Also goes in detail about what to do after you go off the diet.
