Summary: Some people can't handle the truth!
Comment: The reason this book inspires so much passion is that a food addict HATES to be told that they will have to give up their favorite "trigger" foods FOREVER. It's like an alcoholic, who doesn't want to give up Gin. I resisted the idea of Trigger foods for years. I remember yelling at the TV when Gullo was being introduced and his theory was being explained.
The thing is, he's right. Certain people should NEVER have chocolate cake ever again. And that's the truth. His program is filled with ideas that make losing the weight and then keeping it off MUCH easier. It's a reality check and some people don't like reality.
The "moderation" idea never worked for me. The Elimination that Gullo suggests absolutely has worked. This food addiction is serious stuff and needs serious medicine.
And I'm in a Size 6! It's the Mecca of lifestyle change books. I wish more food addicts would consider his theory. The world would be a thinner place!

Summary: It's not about the food
Comment: I saw Dr. Gullo for several years. I lost nearly 100 pounds. I thought I had finally found the help I needed with my life long compulsive eating problem. I did. My success lasted for three years. During that time, I didn't touch the "trigger foods" he helped me to identify. Imagine: Not one grain of sugar, not one morsel of flour not one drop of fat for three years! But compulsive eating is not only about food addiction. Therein lies the flaw. This strategy does not address the reasons for which we run to food in the first place. When the inevitable emotional jolts of life surface, where does one seek solace?
If the underlying emotional issues are not addressed, there is a real danger of exchanging one obsession for another. I became a "shop-aholic" instead of a "food-aholic." I found solace in Gullo's mantra "It's better to wear Italian than to eat Italian." I need not mention where that can lead. The ensuing eating binge was like a runaway freight train. I have gained back 90% of the weight that I lost and I'm still grappling with the emotion issues which caused the problem in the first place. That's what happens when you put a band-aid on festering sore.

Summary: Gave me a new way of thinking
Comment: I just finished reading this book, lent to me by a friend. I'm thinking now that I should buy my own copy! It gave me a whole new way of thinking about "dieting". This book doesn't tell me what I can or cannot eat, it just makes me think about what I REALLY want before I cram it in my mouth. In the few days since I began reading it, I have already caught myself using its advice. I'm sure it's going to be extremely useful to me, not only for losing weight (my immediate goal) but for living a healthy lifestyle without depriving myself of the little luxuries.
