DR. PHIL KNOWS WHAT HE\\\'S TALKING ABOUT Reviewer: Anonymous   NY    04-01-2005 I have been using the program outlined in Dr. Phil\\\'s book since Jan. 15 2005, and it is now April 1, 2005 and I have already lost 23 pounds. My goal was to lose 65, so now I only have 42 to go. Some people who posted negative comments on this board clearly didn\\\'t read the book and they are just being ignorant. Dr. Phil knows his stuff and his diet can really change your life, so give it a try. freelance writer

The Fat Guy Reviewer: Kat       07-23-2004 Dr. Phil is fat. Seems he needs to get his own house in order before telling others how to keep theirs.

What are the principles of the Dr. Phil Diet? Reviewer: Doug       07-23-2004 He's a psychologist, so he thinks weight problems are psychological problems. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. When it comes down to it, systems that completely deal with the physical aspects (what a dream system!) would have a high failure rate for lack of addressing the pychological aspects. Expect his plan to have a high failure rate for lack of addressing the physical aspects. Think of it as half of a plan, to be combined with your favorite physically oriented one.

Isn't Dr. Phil a fat guy himself? Reviewer: Craig       07-14-2004 He is an overweight man, how can anyone take weight loss advice from him. Think about it people!

Off the mark. Reviewer: Michael       07-11-2004 I have watched his show on occasion and find him to be totally off the mark. I don't need him or his book when it comes to losing weight.

kt4stnospam@csam.net Reviewer: Arnie       06-23-2004 It appears that Dr. Phil's philosophy boils down to acting yourself into a new way of living. He plainly stated that when we cut down on the foods that give us problems we must replace it with something else. Any of you that are familiar with substance abuse treatment methods know that is one of the first principals of kicking any addiction.

Another diet plan... Reviewer: JJ       06-23-2004 who doesn't have his/her own diet book now. Eat less or eat right and exercise more ..blah blah blah. Its the same crap everytime. You may not be guaranteed to lose weight and keep it off, but he sure as hell will get rich off of you

Dr. Phill Reviewer: unknown       06-20-2004 I don't know much about Dr. Phil's diet, but I think the key question is: How much are you eating? I'm rather skeptical of diets that say that as long as you eat the right foods you'll lose weight. Weight loss is pretty much a function of calories eaten and calories burned. You're on the right track with exercising and drinking water, certainly. But you need to be eating at a calorie level suitable for you to lose weight. For a woman of our age, and with the thyroid condition, it takes fewer calories to maintain your weight than for a younger woman or a man, and consequently fewer to lose weight. I lost most of my weight eating 1600 calories a day; now I'm closer to 1400-1500.

I like the Dr. Phil diet Reviewer: unknown       06-10-2004 I really like the diet cause it satisfies me and I know I'm eating healthy. Dr Phil talks about weight loss resistance but the only thing he says about it is to have your thyroid checked and I've done that and it's at the right level with medication.

DR. PHIL IS A MONEY GRUBBER! Reviewer: Gman       05-23-2004 Dr. Phil is nothing but a money grubbing whore just like Atkins...they're trying to cash in on other people's misery...plain and simple. The two most popular publications...1. Diet Books 2. Cook Books !! Do a little more, eat a little less...that freakin' simple ! Too many want to lose 50 pounds in a month....not healthy and not likely to be permanent. Anyone who advocates losing more than 2% of your bodyweight in a month is a quack IMO !!

I bought the book Reviewer: Dana       05-08-2004 I bought the book, and I watched the show. I agree with everything he said. I haven't had a chance to read all of the book, I just started it. But from the TV show I think he is going at it from a different angle then the *diet* programs. You can change the way you eat temporarily, but if its not for a lifetime, it ain't gonna work. I am proof of that.

Dr. Phil himself is big Reviewer: Montgomery       04-28-2004 I saw Dr. Phil on Larry King Live for a minute. He was touting his diet book. He's so big, I don't know how he has any credibility with anyone about dieting. :)

Stop listening to Dr. Phil Reviewer: Thelma       04-23-2004 Ladies, stop listening to a man who has NO crediable credentials in the field of weight loss or diet for that matter. Phil knows the Diet Industry is a multi billion dollar a year market, and that's why he is going to try to tap into this for his own bank account. For instance since I'm in the know about "Dr." Phil, being released this Sept 2003 is his new weight loss book, titled " Ultimate Weight Solution, 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom". Also the good "Dr." is spinning off a line of vitamins that will be manufactured by Amway and available soon. Now if I'm not mistaken, Oprah swore by "Dr." Phil, for her own weight & self internal issues, but to this day Oprah is still overweight, and has a commitment issue to Stedman. It's really hard to listen and take advice from a man who himself is overweight, but is going to show you how easy it is to lose in the first place, you must OWN it.

The Phill Diet Reviewer: Chris       03-09-2004 I started Dr Phil's diet January of this year. I lost 5 lbs during that month but since then it's been 3 weeks of losing only 1/2 lb total. I did the 2 weeks induction and then have been on the regular weight loss diet since then. I exercize 3 days a week at a Curve's gym and drink lots of water daily.
