Rating: - How I lost 60 pounds without starving myself
What's different for men? Men don't discuss diet plans. Men don't think we need help. We think we can exercise our excess weight off anytime. Yet we put on a little more weight every year, and keep thinking someday we will do something about it... Once things quiet down at work, or after I finish that project, or complete that course, or stop travelling so much for work, or after the baby grows up, or ... Meanwhile, as we put our health aside for other priorities, we have less and less energy, and then the weight starts to pile on exponentially.
That was me, and Harvey Brooker's book spoke diectly to me. If you are an overweight man, it will speak directly to you too. Harvey does not pull his punches as he tells us about the health and psychological effects of being a fat man. Then he gives us the tools to deal with it.
The eating plan is sensible and easy to follow - it even has a section called Sanity Savers with items like beer, nachos, and barbeque sauce. This program is not about starving yourself until you run out of will power. The key to the eating program is never being hungry. This program teaches you how to control your hunger and eat healthy. How to gauge your hunger and stop it in its tracks with healthy low-calorie choices instead of grabbing something from the vending machine at the office because you just cannot control yourself anymore. I have lost 60 pounds over 34 weeks on this program,and I plan to lose 30 more pounds. I feel like a new man. I started to have more energy alost immediately when I started eating according to the ONE80 plan, and lost 8 pounds the first week without starving myself. So, if you are a man and have read this far, buy this book. If you are a woman who loves an overweight man, buy him this book, but read it before you give it to him.

Rating: - Much More Than Just a Diet Book
I think that this book is really different- not only is it written for intelligent, thinking, men, but it doesn't pull any punches or offer any "quick fixes". It is about lifestyle change. I really liked the fact that it never talked down to me - but was really encouraging and uplifting. I also felt that it really addressed the issues that many men, in particular, face. Our health issues are different than women and we have different problems surrounding weightloss. This book felt like it was written for me.
