I commend the author for writing this book. Up until reading this book I was not familiar with his blog or his writing. While I would not necessarily recommend this book as a weight loss book in general, I found this to be a compelling read that I believe would be very helpful to those who are struggling to get their weight under control. I agree with the author's idea that if you can still eat the things you love but learn to do it in moderation you can guarantee your own success.On the whole I found this book to be fascinating. I appreciated that the author spent the first few chapters describing his life prior to his weight loss. I also feel that his success is validated by the fact that he has kept the weight off for more than a year. Although I greatly enjoyed reading this, I felt it was a little more of a memoir of one man's journey than it was a how to guide for others. The subjects of how to control caloric intake are touched briefly upon, but not as much as you might expect.I have researched the blog this author runs, and I found it to be infinitely  more packed with information on how to lose weight and keep it off than this book is. Still, if this book is the doorway to that information, then it is a good thing. Either way, this was a great read and I am glad I took the time.
