EXCERPTS: The truth about dieting (excerpt): No one diet is right for everyone. You are more likely to succeed with a diet where you are in charge and you choose what to eat. Start with a fad diet if you want. But as you learn to manage your weight, you won't need the fads any more.

How to lose weight and keep it off (excerpt): Weigh yourself twice a day. Weigh yourself at night just before you go to bed, and in the morning when you get up. In both cases weigh yourself stark naked. You don't need the weight of clothes complicating things. You will find that your morning weight is less than your bedtime weight. The morning weight is the more important one and the one you will track on your graph. Your bedtime weight will give you an idea of what to expect in the morning and may help you decide whether or not to eat that donut that's been stalking you.
