This is an entertaining and inspiring story about one man's "journey into fat" and how he was able to reverse that course and get back to his ideal weight. Written many years ago, it's fascinating to hear that people had the same struggles then as now with weight control and that there were just as many commercial diets and exercise plans vying for their attention - and cash.
The author got "fed up" with plans that he couldn't stick to, so he came up with one of his own - a simple plan but... it worked. He lost 55 pounds in just five months and kept it off. And while he makes no claims about anyone else losing weight with his system, you just might. At the very least, it might help motivate you to devise your own plan to lose weight and make life fun again.
