A smart, doalbe diet

My wife and I got on this diet more than a year ago. We both so instant results and we felt good doing it. You have a lot to do to first week(s), but you see and feel the results, so it keeps you going. I was only a few pounds overweight, but I wanted to find a diet that could get me down to a healthier weight and look a little better in my clothes. Don't be fooled by the title of this book, the best part of this diet is that it gives you tips to run your life from here on in, and I'm still following many of the basic principles. Well done.

Not Impressed

While this book did touch on all aspects of life - self-nurturing, healthy exercise, toxic foods, etc., and offered some handy info; it remains a diet book nonetheless. The author's idea of a 3-day plan is to supress or limit the amount and types of food consumed during the 3-day period - i.e., a "diet." While the foods on the plan are "real", the 3-day food plan is typical of Atkins, South Beach, etc. I found other books to be much more helpful resources to overcome the root cause of an eating disorder.

Pie in the sky

I was hoping this book would address psychological issues that drive us to overeat and offer suggestions to change. Instead it offered a very unrealistic lifestyle change of working only 6 to 8 hours a day, stopping every hour to examine one's feelings, taking an hour to exercise daily and an hour to do leisure activities daily. If only this were realistic.....

The 3-Day Solution Plan: Jump-start Lasting Weight Loss by Turning Off the Drive to Overeat

I am quite please with this book. It made a lot of sense to me. Laurel Mellin talks about how to come to a solution in your life that assists one with more than a new way of eating. The book speaks about how we can change our thinking on the other things in our life which in turn effects the what, when,and why we eat the things we do.

Makes sense but badly written

I bought this book about a week ago, and am very excited to get started on it. Even though this is a weightloss book, and I do need to lose weight, I bought it because it talks about a way to get past the addictive behavior, the negative self-talk, all of that, by 'checking in' with yourself several times a day before you go too far down that spiral of self-destructive behavior. I've tried it a couple of times and it works! I encourage people to take a look at this book because the approach IS different than other diet books. But, it is not very well laid out or edited. There are several times where I have to re-read a sentence, because she's written it in such a convoluted way... instead of getting to the point, she gets too wordy, and you lose your momentum as you're reading. Also, there are, as I understand and I can't be sure because the bad format of the book, 3 main components to the 'solution', but then there are several part to each main component. And it's nearly impossible to figure it out, or remember it, unless you take notes. She talks about White Stuff once, and then doesn't mention it until several chapters later, and you have no idea what it is. Same with Masterful Living... This book needs to be re-released in a waaaaayyyyy better format, so that you can easily read about each part to the Solution, and follow it easier. The little cutout cards at the end of the book are helpful only to copy them down on your own piece of paper. Having said all that, I still recommend that people read the book - I think it's a sensible, innovative program, if you can just get through the book.

The Solution to Dieting!

Almost everyone who wants to lose weight makes a painful discovery: diets don?t work. After following the rules and wrestling with the temptations, nearly all dieters regain what they have lost?and then some. What?s worse, the anger and frustration of constant dieting just make us want to eat more! If only we could turn off the drive to overeat. But that?s impossible, right? Wrong!

Based on the amazingly effective method developed by weight-loss expert Laurel Mellin, The 3-Day Solution Plan will give you a powerful, step-by-step plan to turn off the drive to overeat while shedding up to six pounds! A proven program for lasting weight loss without dieting, The Solution Method was developed by Mellin at the University of California, San Francisco?s School of Medicine. Health magazine named it one of the 10 top medical advances of 2000. But this is the first time The Solution Method has been made accessible to everyone as a results-oriented jumpstart to the program?and it only takes three days.

The life-changing potential of The Solution Method is that it directly addresses the feeling brain, the home of our most primitive urges, like eating. Other weight loss programs are based on knowledge and planning?activities of the thinking brain. The problem is that there is no significant relationship between the feeling brain and the thinking brain. Reason can?t make anyone stop wanting a cookie.

But as Solution participants attest: this program works. Two- and six-year follow-up studies have shown The Solution to produce weight loss without dieting and unparalleled results in terms of keeping it off. In just three days you will get started with the method and
