    Sister bought it. I read through it last week.

    20 approved foods that boost your bodies ability to burn calories.
    5 day cycles (quite a few restrictions), 20 day cycles (less restrictions).
    A whole lotta Dr. Phil discussing depression, guilt and reasons people eat (and overeat).
    'No' to caffeine, dairy, sugar, wheat...except on cheat meals
    'yes' to whole foods.

    Some decent info about macros.

    Not much in the book for exercise, weight training. He recommends it, but most of it was cardio related and he is advocating 'intense, shorter' cardio sessions.

    There ya have it. My first book review.
    I'll give it 4 stars and wish you good luck.

    On a side note...it doesn't suit my life but lots of people say its the bees knees so good luck to you and keep us informed.

    Foods don't boost your ability to burn calories in any significant way.

    Dr. Phil is the king of stupid diets.

    I think Dr Oz might still hold that crown.

    You're right. What was I thinking?

    I wasn't aware that any of Dr. Phil's qualifications/degrees/whatever were in the area of diet, weight loss or nutrition.

    But good luck to you!
