There's nothing more convincing about the effectiveness of a diet or weight loss program than personal stories from those who have experienced them. The author and the contributors of the book Personal Stories of Diet and Weight Loss and How They Do and Don't Work tell their personal accounts of what they experienced while going through today's popular diets and weight loss programs. They tell you how much weight they lost, how long it took to lose the weight, and most importantly, what they had to do to lose the weight. This easy-to-read book concludes with similarities among the programs discussed and draws a summary of which programs seemed to work best while maintaining feelings of happiness and satisfaction
