First of all, I wanted to say how pleasantly surprised I was to see how insightful this author was about being overweight. There is no negativity or starvation diets to be found within these pages. Instead he starts out with a bang, giving excellent reasons as to why you would want to shed the pounds.From the very first pages, I was impressed by how genuine and knowledgeable he was! It was pretty obvious to me that Daniel Wallen knows his stuff. He gets into the very heart of the matter, and not only knows but understands what leads to the extra weight. He even covers stuff I wouldn't have thought about like stress and weight gain or dealing with toxic people. Sometimes these toxic people can do more damage than good when you're trying to make a healthy lifestyle change.Another thing I really enjoyed about the book was the wonderful quotes he uses. The quotes he's selected are perfect for each chapter. They are definitely encouraging and inspirational as you read your way through. It's like having your very own support group in a book!This author doesn't fill the pages with a lot of useless information. The book really nailed the most important parts, including why you have the extra weight, feeling good about yourself as a human being, and how to get those extra pounds off. It wasn't your average, everyday tips. These are actually useful and easy to incorporate into your life for a permanent slim figure, not just a quick weight-loss. I found it easy to read, but even more than that I found it interesting!The book also contains stories from real clients. This was very encouraging. It helps a lot to hear from other people that have had success at getting the weight off and keeping it off.... Happily!As I worked my way through, I was amazed over and over again at how well Daniel Wallen touched upon every issue that is important to an overweight person. When I got to the end, I saw why. He states in his biography section that he struggled with weight when he was younger, and who could understand the weight-loss battle more than someone that has experienced it for himself?I'm very glad he decided to share what he's learned with the rest of us. It's one of the best weight-loss books I've ever read. If you're looking for a book that will give you the right perspective for shedding extra pounds, you've found it!
