Product Description

Calories are only half of the weight-loss equation ... welcome to the other half.

In The Thin Commandments Diet, Dr. Stephen Gullo lets you in on his unique weight-loss program that has a success rate that is many times higher than the national average. His two-part approach replaces willpower with strategy and deprivation dining with great-tasting gourmet fare.

In the first part, he reveals his strategy secrets -- the 10 Thin Commandments -- including:

• Think historically, not just calorically -- identify trigger foods that can undermine your weight loss.


• Slips should teach you, not defeat you -- uncover the "24-hour secret" and never gain weight from binging again.


• The problem may be in the food, not in you -- learn the strategies to take control of your favorite foods.

In the second part, Dr. Gullo outlines his simple diet which will put you on the shortest path to safe and rapid weight loss -- without depriving you of the foods you love. He takes the guesswork out of dieting and offers a program that helps melt pounds away quickly and easily.

Customer Reviews

Gullo is to diet what Gunnar Peterson is to Fitness
If your ready for real permenant change, this book is for you. Not only will Gullo give you the tools to lose weight, forever, he'll help you to face your food history. This book isn't for those that want to lose a quick ten pounds, this book is for women/men that want real permenant change. As a lifestyle and beauty reporter, this is the only book I have ever given 5 stars in the diet category.

Extremely practical. Very motivational.
My review won't be as fancy sounding as the others, but I'm here to tell you, this guy is right on the mark! After listening to his audio book, I started treating food like the addition it is (for me). Since reading this book, weight loss has become as much a mental diet as a physical one. He not only tells you what you need to do in a reasonable way, he tells you how to actually do it. Extremely practical. Very motivational.

This is a great book. Much better than South Beach.
This book is meant to be heard. It almost like getting a three hour therapy session for 15 bucks. Dr. Gullo is right on the money almost 100% of the time with his observations and recommendations. I have listened to the book twice already and I plan to listen to it again whenever my diet falters. If you are ready to live life as thin person starting today, you want to buy this CD.
