Change Your Attitude - Change Your Shape! May 13, 2008
The title of my review really sums up this book's message - that by changing your attitude towards food, you can stop overeating and lose weight.
Most people know what they 'should' be eating, but find themselves craving and eating the foods that tend to be 'forbidden' or restricted, on most diets.
Marisa points out that we all came into the world knowing what, how, and when to eat, to suit our individual needs. However, years of associating food with comfort and reward and following restrictive diets, have led to many of us eating for emotional reasons, rather than hunger -especially 'comfort' foods like cakes, biscuits and crisps.
This book shows you how to have a normal relationship with food and allow yourself to eat what you want - it's surprising how, when a food is no longer forbidden, you no longer crave it!
Well worth buying if you want to lose weight and keep it off - especially if you're caught up in the diet-binge cycle.

The best book I've ever read!!!! May 7, 2008

I bought this book last week and read it within two days. It is absolutely amazing the effect that this book has had on my attitude to food and my confidence levels! I know it sounds corny but I really do feel like a new person already!
I've tried every diet on the planet over about a fifteen year span and my weight kept creeping up to almost 13 stone, every diet and exercise plan didn't seem to work and the pounds would shift very slowly. I could never understand why and so I kept looking for some answers - I think I've finally found them!!!!
I was worried about cutting down on wheat and dairy as probably 95% of my diet consisted of these two areas but, after reading the book and listening to the CD, I stopped eating them straight away. Over the last six days my attitude towards the food I'm eating has changed dramatically and I'm now eating loads of fruits, veg, nuts and seeds along with lean proteins. I NEVER thought I would ever get to this way of eating - I always avoided fruit as I thought it was boring but I love it now. I'm not fussed about chocolate, biscuits, cakes, bread, pasta, cheese and I'm finding good and healthy alternatives for them - this really amazes me.
I don't want to sound too much of a goody goody but the CD really reprogramms your thinking for the better and the book explains what wheat, dairy and junk food actually does to your insides. It isn't a book that states you must follow this program or else, Marisa explains about making choices in life and you end up really wanting to choose better foods for your body.
I haven't weighed myself yet (6 days into it) but I do intend to and I will put an update on here when I have. My clothes are feeling much looser already, I stopped feeling bloated on the first day, my skin and eyes look clearer and brighter and I feel fantastic!!!
Please, if you do only one thing for yourself, buy this book and you'll never look back!!!
Fantastic Book! Buy it, it will change your life!!! May 2, 2008

It has only been one week since I finished reading the book and started to listen to the cd and already I feel like a different person. In the past few years I've yo-yo dieted and gone from being 10st to over 13st then back down, back up, back down etc. and have been a real binge eater of chocolate, cakes and pizza. In addition I've had anxiety/depression issues and haven't felt I'm good enough. Reading this book has given me real confidence in myself, and in this first week I have dropped 4lbs and have completely enjoyed eating in this new way and haven't had any chocolate cravings at all, which is all I've ever thought about with previous diets. This is definitely more of an eating plan for life rather than a quick fix, but that is good because this is what I've wanted - to be healthy inside and out, and for it to be something I can maintain, and it is very easy to follow. There is no specific diet plan, only guidelines, and to be honest it isn't a struggle and it is nice to put my needs and those of my body first for a change.
Like another reviewer I had planned not to do this until a month or so down the line however I too cannot recommend this book highly enough, so had to write a review now. If you have problems with overeating and food in general, or have yo-yo dieted for years this is the book for you!
Honestly, this is the best 6 i have ever spent on anything, and believe me I have spent a fortune over the years on various slimming products, or slimming clubs. Give it a go!!!
Marisa - thank you so much for getting me on the right track and for the first time in my adult life being in control of what I eat rather than it controlling me!!
Lets hope the positive changes continue April 29, 2008

Ive been seriously overweight for about six years and go through times of successfully losing weight, but the snacks and chocolate and crisps always creep in. This book has really challenged how much I believe I want to lose weight when im snacking on junk food. I currently have to lose weight for medical reasons and this book has helped me rethink the food I eat. I haven't even used the CD yet.
The lower rating reviews for this book have commented on cutting out food groups. Marisa explains the food our body was intented to eat. Cutting out wheat isn't cutting out all carbs. And into the book it does state that goats cheese is easier for our bodies to digest. Ive read the one star review of this book and the author doesn't mention anything about changing your attitude to food which for me was the key concept of this book.
AbFab!!! a couple of days in I have changed my whole thinking about food!!!! April 24, 2008

I bought the book on the strength of the reviews, just on a whim really. I had been feeling lethargic and not really feeling in control or inspired by anything since Christmas. In short, I felt quite negative about a lot of things and had been told that what I had been eating may be affecting my mood. I don't really know why I bought the book initially because I am not overweight but have turned into a couch potato. Anyway when I read the book it just made so much sense that I started making changes immediately. Then I listened to the CD and it is excellent I am up in the mornings Happily, I am planning out Healthy daily menus for the whole family, I have started jogging again and telling myself that I love it . I have energy and in a really positive mood. I feel brilliant. I regularly fall asleep to the CD and I wake up feeling positive about the next day and I love the food I am eating. Marisa's voice is sooo relaxing!!!!!!!
