Dr. Phil McGraw's Ultimate Weight Solution

Just curious if anyone out there has read The Ultimate Weight Solution by
Dr. Phil McGraw? I received mine in the mail yesterday and am hooked at his outlook on obesity and how to overcome and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I've never been one to read self help books and such, but I'm a big believer now.

I think the book makes you look at patterns we have taught ourselves and to step back and paint a picture of what we want to obtain (being realistic)
as far as weight goes. He also put a more realistic weight scale in the book as compared to the ones that medical doctors use that tell what we should weigh. It also takes in to condition your body type..for example I consider myself big boned, bigger chest/rib cage than a lot of men my height. I'm 71" or 5'11" and Dr. Phil's weight table say that a more realistic scale for myself is 173 small frame -192 middle frame -211 large frame. This is about 12 pounds heavier than what most sources tell me I should weigh. Dr. Phil says that the old standards are really OLD and that we as people are healthier compared to the people back when the old scales were made and so the weight standards should have shifted a bit.

Anyway, if you've considered buying it, but haven't I would recommend to anyone with weight issues. If you have a negative outlook on this type learning then don't buy it. I have been skeptical to things I didn't really understand, but I have a great feeling about this book. I couldn't put it down last night and expect to have it finished in 10 to 14 days.

Please don't take this as a sales pitch. I don't know Dr. Phil personally and am not making any money stating how I feel about his book. I just wanted to share with you fine folks something that sparked an interest in me an hope I can help someone else by recommending reading his book.

Take care
