I was hesitant about this book initially as the topic of losing weight can be so sensitive. However I appreciated some of the science behind basic body chemistry of eating and hunger. I work in the medical field myself, but I really felt like the material in this book was digestible.

Very good book with practical ideas about weight loss. This is not for anyone looking for a quick fix to your weight problem but if you are willing to put in the work, this book has some practical suggestions to help you. I like that this really deals with WHY you eat, not just focusing on WHAT you eat. It deals a lot with emotional eating. A lot of the suggestions, I had already heard before but coupled with the whys of eating is an approach that not many authors will address. And this is not just another author, but a doctor that also struggled with her weight.

How to lose weight for the last time provides brain-based solutions to lose weight and keep it off. All too often, we lose weight, but do not adequately learn the mindset/way of thinking that will help us maintain weight loss. This book attempts to help you change this. This is a missing component to many weight loss programs. The strategies presented in this book are easily understood and easy explained so that you can immediately implement them. This book was inspirational in that the author is easy to relate to and she has also used these techniques for weight loss. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to lose weight, understand how your thoughts and behaviors impact weight gain/loss, and how to keep the weight off. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy In exchange for my honest review.

Every person I know wants (maybe even needs) to know How to Lose Weight for the Last Time. Will this book fulfill that promise?

The book takes the stance that weight gain is caused by the mind-not the stomach. Therefore, only by looking at the reasons why you overeat, and correcting them, will you finally lose weight for good. The author used a life coach, which worked great for her. Will it work for everyone? I doubt it. But it will work for some readers.

Overall, I like the inspiration I get from the book. I'm encouraged that someone found a weight loss method that works for them. However, there is little completely new within How to Lose Weight for the Last Time. 3 stars.

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book.

Great book about how to lose weight! The author is transparent with her own weight loss struggles. The book focuses on keeping a food journal and no sugar/ flour. Thank you to the publisher and net galley for an ARC

This book closely resembles the Noom program for weight loss. The psychological aspects of weight loss are thoroughly covered. The downfall, I believe, is the complete restriction of flour and sugar. Though this is a sure way to lose weight, it is unrealistic for the majority of the people. It is also based on a study involving only women.

Interesting read of reminding us why food is needed and not allowing it to become an emotional crutch. The psychology of the book is spot on and supports lots of research I am familiar with so that led to the credibility of the text..

This book is not a diet plan, but rather a guide to help you lose weight while getting to know your brain better. There are many hidden gems within that assist you in better understanding why you may overeat or make the wrong food choices. However, the book does not assign any shame to your choices and is quick to let you know that eating the wrong food, or too much, is not a moral failure, like some of us are apt to think, but rather it is just food. There is no need to beat ourselves up over and over again and feel shamed if we do not eat properly, this book helps you understand that and assists you in making better choices. It also emphasizes building a better relationship with yourself and treating yourself the way that you should be treated, specifically when it comes to food and weight, but also in all areas of your life. If you are trying to lose weight and would like a mind shift and a little bit of help and encouragement to understand the process, I would recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read copy.

This is an excellent resource! It has knowledgeable rel-life advice that actually works. Even in the introduction, I felt seen and identified with the author.

This book will be very useful in my weight loss journey! I went through cancer and had another surgery today actually. As a result of the cancer, I’ve gained weight and had really struggled to lose it. It’s been rough physically and emotionally. This book provides good insight!

Solid book on losing weight without the hassle of diets and calories. This book focuses on planning your meals before eating, no sugar/no flour, and developing a protocol.

Dr. Ubell gives really great advice in an easy to digest format. She backs up her claims with medical research and even had a research study conducted on her methods. Although she only works with medical professionals, the advice she gives is targeted to anybody and the strategies appear easy to implement. I'm looking forward to trying some of the things suggested in her book in order to lose more weight and keep it off.

This book was very good and I got some useful tips. I appreciate the transparency the author shared about her own struggles.

Such sound advice from a medical professional that has been there struggling to lose weight and keep it off. The ideas presented in the book such as a real food journal and listening for hunger cues has real significance for a population that is steadily gaining. A thoughtful and engaging look at weight.
