Great book if you're motivated ( umyers )
I think that if one is very motivated to make the change without going on a diet and actually make the effort to prepare the foods as suggested, it's a good book. I already know what type I was according to Ayurvedic Medicine so there was not much new in here. It's a good introduction.

Perfect Weight by Deepak Chopra, M.D.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is wondering why they can not lose weight. Very informative and easy read. The recommendations for eating habits and no stress exercises are very good. I appreciated the research information at the back of the book.

 new thoughts
I am not quite finished this book, but have found some very interesting new ideas to weight loss. Overall a very interesting book.

 Ray finally read a book, now he's reviewing it. Hmmm
It's an easy read.
My wife is really fat, and likes Chopra. I got it for her. It only cost 8 cents + shipping.
I ended up reading it for her, she is a bit lazy.
The approach to Perfect Weight is a common sense no brainer. We can't all be expected to look like fashion models or weight lifters.
Getting our weight, habits, and lives in a natural balance is of the utmost importance. I already knew that. The 126 pages only took a few days to read, then I went back to certain parts to better understand the concepts.
Here is the rub, To a great book, or a great plan. One must really, be motivated to do it. And start doing it, a little piece at a time.
Chopra is philosophical, somewhat spiritual, and logical. He is quick to point out myths, and thinking superstitions. A very pleasant person.
I'd give this approach serious consideration if I were concerned with weight, etc. etc. etc. It may be important to give the concepts enumerated on from the point of view of listening and learning a new thing and not refuting the methodology, or belief system, at every turn of the page.
There is a part at the end which illustrate some yoga exercises, which can help exercise the innards as well as trim and build mussels, which is part of the wholeistic, approach Chopra mentions.
The idea of cause and effect are obvious but need to be pointed out, this is done well, in areas concerning, eating, and just what are we eating, when and why.
The book has an uplifting feel, and hopefully we can re-boot detox and be come aware of what our eating habits and reasonings are.
It works for me, now her turn. :-)

Very interesting ( fififair1 )
I though Deepak Chopra gave some interesting points on weight loss, which I've been trying to incorporate into my daily life. He doesn't give an overal diet menu. It's more of a knowledge of how to eat and then you pick the foods. I'd never heard of ayurveda, but I took the test and it was eerie at how accurate it was. I've read lots of books and articles on dieting and I think anyone trying to lose weight could gain something from this, and I'm not talking pounds.
