Blurb (from back cover): In this book, renowned expert Dr. James Rippe and Weight Watchers give you the scientific knowledge you need to break through the myths, get off the dieting roller coaster, and shed those pounds for keeps.
"Myth 1: You can lose weight and keep it off
"Myth 2: A few extra pounds don't matter
"Myth 3: Willpower is the key to successful weight loss
"Myth 4: You can lose weight with exercise alone
"Myth 5: Calories don't matter-avoid fats and carbs to lose weight successfully
"Myth 6: You can't lose weight if you have the wrong metabolism or genes
"Myth 7: You can boost your metabolism by what, how and when you eat
"Myth 8: It doesn't matter how you take the weight off; you can think about keeping it off later
"Myth 9: There is only on right approach to losing weight
"Myth 10: Your weight is your problem, and you need to solve it on your own."
Opinion: As a WW member, I know the truth behind the myths but it was helpful to have them reinforced in black and white. What was nice about this book is that becoming a WW member was not stressed in the book. Sure it had testimonials from WW members but it wasn't stated that WW is the only weight loss program that works and that it helpful and allows for a mass audience to read the book. People who are attempting to lose weight and are struggling should pick up a copy of this book.
