Great companion to a great diet book. This book not only provides great diet information, but also provides practical steps to make sticking to the diet more realistic. This book compliments the seven keys to healthy eating by serving as a quick, easy reference guide, providing information on counting calories for high- and low-response cost foods, controlling portion sizes, identifying high-response cost and high-yield foods, and specific menu planning for meals and snacks.

Dr. Phil says we all have a decision to make when it comes to our diets. He's right, but knowing we have a choice doesn't make it any easier to choose wisely. As I mentioned, one aspect of this book that I really like is that it not only provides a diet, but information on what's required to stick to it. Having said that, I still would like more information on how to apply what's learned and make it last.

 I'm convinced that the only way to stick to any diet is to make healthy eating part of your lifestyle by making it a habit
This book is a wealth of great information, but it could use more practical advice on sticking to these principles of healthy eating. My fitness trainer gave me a book entitled "The Power of Habit."

It provides an easy-to-implement, step-by-step process for making healthy eating a permanent, automatic habit. It teaches you how to take these principles for healthy eating and make them part of your lifestyle. "The Ultimate Weight Solution" and "The Ultimate Weight Solution Food Guide" provide "what to do" and "why", "The Power of Habit" gives you a way to "stick to it".

I agree with one of the reviews for "The Ultimate Weight Solution: "Dr. Phil's plan requires discipline and hard work." Any healthy diet does. What the book and the food guide could use more of is advice on how to stick to it.
