This book contains a lot of common sense stuff around eating, exercising and managing stress. Good reminders, but nothing ground-breaking. Specifically worth highlighting, IMHO, "It is very, very easy to out-eat your activity, because in the grand equation between how much you burn and how much you eat, the average person will never be able to out-burn a bad diet." You just can't work off that chocolate cake and Chinese takeout.

I expected so much more - other books by Dr. Roizen have been well documented, but this is a book of doctor speak trying to be funny. Also, there are too many instances of emphasis by using Periods. After. Woods. Lack of documentation, including the lack of references to support his theses, make this more of a celebrity book rather than a well researched book for information on diet and lifestyle. Although I do have to admit that the chapter on stress reduction really stressed me out. I don't think that was the intent.

I am sorry to say, but I really didn't gain much from reading this book. I gave it a 3 stars because that is probably because I've read a ton of health books so maybe this is just better if you're just starting to care about your physical body. That said, I'd recommend "How Not to Die" to anyone looking for a similar resource.

Read this based on watching the Dr. Oz show. Not a bad book but may not work for everybody out there.
