 I Can Make you Thin by Paul McKenna April 18, 2010

I know that its usual to get your review in on a book as quickly as possible, but with this book I thought what would be the point? Yes, I could tell everyone know how well it was written, what it said made sound sense, good layout, etc etc. But what I wouldn't have been able to tell you is whether or not it worked. I couldn't have done that without testing PKs theories first. So that's what I've been doing for the past four weeks. I gave it a fair go so that I could pass on exactly whether or not the book will do what it says it will do.
Background - Female, 54 years old, menopausal and of course overweight! And as we all know ladies, when Mrs Menopause comes aknocking on your door she brings with her several girlfriends, one of which is Mistress Weight Gain - bitch! And you know that weight gain at our time of life is nigh on impossible to get rid of. Yes, like you all I've tried every conceivable diet, fad going but the golden rule of thumb during the menopause is not to diet isn't it - Menopause without Weight Gain: The 5 Step Solution to Challenge Your Changing Hormones. What's a girl to do? I'll tell you what she does - she follows PKs instructions to the letter and DOES NOT DIET!!!!! THIS IS NOT A DIET.
Four weeks ago I weighed - 11st 12lbs (with clothes on) so say 11st 8lbs naked and I started on the 90 day programme that I hoped would be the beginning of a new way of viewing food. Today (18 April) was my second weigh in and lo and behold I was exactly 11st (naked). I have lost 8lbs in four weeks and never, ever in my entire life has that ever happened before. But here's the best bit: I've not once ever felt that hungry I was near to feinting (as you usually do on diets), I've not counted calories, I've not had to suffer the gagging reflex trying to swallow dry pieces of cardboard! I've not had to practically kill myself in the gym in the hope of losing a few ounces. I've lost 8lbs in four weeks just by being committed to giving this system a fair trial. And in short - IT WORKED FOR ME! What ran through my mind reading the book was - If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got! - Try something different - it just might work. It worked for me and the reason being was I was prepared to give this 100% commitment. I read the instructions, practiced the lessons and stayed with the programme and will continue to do so for the next 60 days. After which, this will be the way I will live with food for the rest of my life hopefully.
But all this doesn't mean that you don't have to put in a little bit of effort. You do. Effort into the programme, effort into staying with the four golden rules, effort into listening to the CD and effort into getting off your backside and doing something! For me its walking, sometimes, 30mins a day, sometimes a whole hour at as brisk a pace as I can manage. That's all you need to do honestly. But if you're feint of heart, don't have 100% commitment and still want to give the `Cabbage Soup' another go - then this book isn't for you.

A year ago I would never have believed that this system would work and felt slightly ashamed when I purchased the book and CD, fearing that it would be money down the drain. However, having reduced dress size from 22 to 16 in the course of 2009 I am now a convert. I am relaxed about what I eat, make more effort to exercise regularly and feel very much more "in control" about my life in general. For any doubters - suspend your disbelief, read the book and regularly listen to the CD and see what it can do for you.

I have tried other diets... tried Weight-Watchers three times... lost weight for holidays, etc then put it all back on afterwards.
This is NOT a diet... I repeat NOT A DIET. I have lost 10 pounds in two and a half weeks. I have eaten what I wanted - no foods or food groups are banned or "bad"... eaten when I wanted... and NEVER felt hungry... yes it is a kind of hypnosis or mind programming... or rather de-programming. When you read the book it all seems so obvious... just "listen to your body"...
It was like an epiphany... life changing. If you want to reach your natural ideal weight without the guilt this is for you... it works and makes you feel positive about yourself unlike diets which make you feel suicidal for looking at a chocolate hob-nob!
I was a bit cynical at the beginning but it just works!

I have been a couple of stone overweight since I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid 10 years ago, I genuinely do have a slow metabolism controlled by daily medicine and thought I would never be the slim person I once was. The book is concise to the point and makes sense, it is like someone opened my eyes to the diet industry and I will never go on another diet again. I haven't touched chocolate in four weeks the mere thought of it makes me ill now. The CD has given me a desire for exercising which I didn't have before and a confidence to believe in myself that I can do this. I am eating what I want, and after the initial two weeks I have lost 7lbs. My husband was laughing at me for listening to the CD everyday, but now he is desperate to give it ago.
Best diet book I have ever bought!! February 22, 2010

OK, so I bought this after seeing a clip of his programme on Sky One in January and liked the ideas he put across and his four main rules. I started loosely sticking to the rules and lost 2 kilos in about as many weeks. Then I started properly doing the journal part (and listening to the CD every day etc)and although I maybe stuck to all the points it asks you to do every day about 70% of the time, I have lost 3 kilo's in 15 days so far!!
If you really try and go with his four golden rules, you WILL lose weight. It has completely changed my relationship with food, which is a massive thing for me as food has ruled my life my entire life. I have been a binge eater/over eater and cannot usually stick to a diet, but this is NO diet! Its a way of changing your relationship with food and changing your attitude to food and lifestyle, so it doesnt feel like a diet! I have eaten take-aways, chocolate, anything I have wanted, but stopped eating it when full (which took some getting used to, to know when this is, but Paul helps you with this). I cant recommend this book enough. I have lost 5 kilo's so far without any real effort and I feel in control for the first time in my life. Thank you so so so so so much Paul!
