Bill Phillips is a great guy. I only say that because this book changed me. Bill Phillips' insightful, friendly, informative style is welcoming. He sees beyond the need to "get thin" and identifies (correctly) how focusing so much on your weightloss can lead to self-absorbtion. His Journal even gives daily tips to do random acts of kindness to redirect your focus. Beyond this, the workouts are really quick, very challenging, and require planning. The meals are really good (mostly). He recommends supplements but they aren't necessary. If you just plan ahead and have the good food ready in your fridge you'll never need to "grab a bar". Now my favorite snack is an apple and string cheese. I've kept off 20 pounds for over four years.
