You on a Diet by Mehmet C. Oz, Mehmet Oz M.D., Michael Roizen (2006)

This has got to be the best Diet, make that Life style, changing DVD I have had the pleasure to listen to and to learn from. Dr. Oz doesn't just tell you to do something, he tells you why and how it effects the body. He has a diet plan, meal suggestions, exercise demos, and alot more. The real age quiz he directs you to along with a support network is very helpful in keeping one on the right path to a much healthier and happier life.

I purchased this in CD format because I don't have much time to read and I need to drop a few pounds to improve my health. The information IS excellent, and I would recommend this in either book or CD form. It has changed my perspective about many things that I put in my mouth and I have dropped weight because of it. I am no longer "dieting", but making lifestyle changes...what I should have been doing all along. It was nice to have the actual digestive cycle, etc. described as this really puts things in perspective and makes you think more about how your body functions and responds to what you put in your mouth.

I enjoyed the CD format, but after listening to it, I can see where the book is would be helpful to review items and make shopping lists, etc. The authors read the book and get a bit wordy when they could cover the necessary facts in just a few words. I found myself skipping forward because of this and not missing a thing.

I would recommend this book if you want to make some healthy food lifestyle changes.

I am a big fan of both doctors and have watched them on Oprah and followed their advice and learned from them on realage.com as well. The You on a Diet
CDs are in my car at all times and it is amazing how learning the physiological
causes and ramifications of weight gain make you see food so differently. I have been slowly losing weight without even trying since I started listening to the tapes and that is because I look at foods and eating in a new way. They tell you in the tapes how dieting doesn't work because it is too restrictive and we beat ourselves up when we cheat and then we gain because we think we are failures. That is so true! I have yoyoed for years and am so tired of it and now I am just eating more healthy foods and when I have something I am not supposed to have I chalk it up to a slip and don't beat myself up and move on and its okay. Really does make the whole thing so much more do-able. That concept alone has helped me tremendously and kept me on the road to getting healthier. I don't weigh myself anymore but my clothes have been getting loser and loser and I have been donating them as it goes. Great feeling. These CDs are FULL of truly useful and life-saving information. Don't hesitate if you are on the fence. You will not be disappointed.

The book makes sense; it's logical. The doctors guide you through the medical and emotional reasons one fails at dieting. They show you how your body works with regard to the foods you eat and whether or not you exercise. Their diet/lifestyle is not surprising or really anything new, but now I understand the whys involved so now I will follow their plan and FINALLY stop the yoyo dieting and get healthy!

I love Dr. Oz, and all the wonderful advice he gives on the Oprah show. I ordered his book on CD and have enjoyed listening about the chemistry of losing weight. The CDs are great and I listen to them whenever I need an extra push. Dr. Oz tells it like it is, and his straight forward advice is helping me make better choices. The product was sent to me in a very speedy and well packed fashion.

The book has so much valuable information in it. I am truly impressed with the excercises that are demonstrated and explained in the book. This was the primary reason for getting this book. So I would have the exercises in print to refer to as much as I would need to. And of course, I went to ebay to purchase it, for I knew I would be able to get it for a good price. I will be referring and using this book lots in the days ahead.

This book is really informative in an easy to read format. It tells what the diet is and then why it works and is easy to understand and has foods you'd normally have in your home as well as some to add that will benefit you.

This CD set is a great way to read a book. I can listen to this CD on the way to work and that saves a lot of time. I would recommend this system to anyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. Hearing the authors reading what they wrote, with the humor and seriousness of each issue, is even better than the written page. I like their writing style as I have another one of the books they have written, but audio is definately the best. I can listen while I clean house, drive, cook, whatever!

I highly recommend it!!

Have the audiobook above and I am learnng a ton about the Human Body and "waist management". I would highly recommend this audio CD set.

This is a great book. I orginally bought one for my friend who is blind and then decided to buy this for me. It is great to listen to the book while you are driving around doing errands, working out or just sitting at home relaxing.
I would recommend this book to anyone. Dr. Oz is wonderful and makes it easy for anyone to understand.

I love reading about health and diet, but sometimes books can get drawn out, but this is so easy. I put a CD in while I'm driving to work and listen for 30 minutes. The information is very pertinent and well read with interjected humor. I also have his (their) other cd set.

This was my first audio book. Somehow my brain and my ears takes to Dr. Oz's voice. After seeing him on Oprah a few times I really got into eating healthy & doing my body right. I decided to buy the book to see what more infomation he had to say. After I saw that the book had 300 & something pages I decided to buy the audio book. Not finished but got the book on my Ipod and listen almost everyday. Following what he said and lost 2 inches off my waist and 5 pounds in 1 month. I would rate this book good infomation.

I like being able to download a book so I get it very quickly but it wasn't very clear that it was only this and not also CDs. I got an email statin my order would be expected by a certain date which made me believe I was also getting CDs. I have yet to buy a mp3 player to be able to listen to my book. Part of it was my fault for not reading the description better. Part of it was theirs for not making it very clear.

I actually thought it was a book. I'm having trouble finding time to get through all the CDs. What I have heard so far is good, but I'm not far enough into it to gain enough information.

Both my husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned much listening to Dr. Oz & Dr.Roizen. The medical information and how food works with the body was explained in a way we could understand. Their use of funny examples and comparisons kept us laughing in the midst of an anatomy lesson. Because my husband's work has him the car for many hours a day, the CD's were a great way to hear the book. I listened while on the tread mill which was very motivationg to keep me walking. We highly recommend the CD version of "You on a Diet". Steve and Patty

I like that the book is on CD so I can listen to it while doing something else. Because it was a good price and I didn't have to go out shopping for it.

This book was brilliantly written in medical and e-z to understand terminology. I listened to it every day going back and forth to the YMCA. It was not only educational but brilliantly detailed on how our body works and why we gain weight ....and how to loose it. It also was written with humor sprinkled with large amounts of similes that keep you laughing. However, I had to back up the CD as I was listening to it several times. Each doctor read parts of the book, and each of them have very noticeable speech impediments giving the listener a challenge to understand. (L's and R's are their main problems)

I found it an easy listen and reinforced what is taught in the book. The authors read their own work and it is filled with topical humor.
