Focus on health and the rest will come naturally
Mark Hyman deals with many myths associated with dieting and weight loss. He explains many not so obvious causes of gaining weight. He also reminds the reader of important rules to follow in order to keep not only thin but also healthy. All in all this is a good book for someone committed to losing weight and keeping it off. What I particularly liked about this book is its focus being shifted towards living healthy lifestyle. The author emphasizes the importance of cleansing the liver and detoxifying your whole body. This sounds to me like a revamp of the same good ideas so well presented in the book Can We Live 150 in which the author focuses exclusively on health and self-help (body cleansing, proper breathing, and using all the "natural doctors who are always with you"). Interestingly losing weight seems to be the natural outcome of one's healthy lifestyle. This has at least been so in my case.

An Amazing book for holistic health
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Mark Hyman is an amazingly gifted doctor, he explains everything in the most simple way and makes you understand why specific kinds of food are unhealthy as well as the opposite. He is based on recent scientific research and actually proposes a variety of different supplements and natural remedies for every group of maladies. He even provides with thorough lists with suppliers of the products he believes are meeting his high standards. Basically this is a piece of work promoting natural healing through properly selected foods. This man shows us how to be healthy just by altering our diet. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that is interested on his/her health for life. This book is one of a kind
