I bought this book on the strength of having used his excellent stop smoking books. Allen Carr maybe an expert on smoking but knows little about losing weight. A blend of factual errors and pseudo science are used to back up his vegan agenda. Some of his scientific facts are just laughable and anybody with O level biology would see straight through it. The idea of the book is to get you to forget your normal foods and eat fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables instead. If only it was that simple. He claims you can eat your favourite foods as much as you want as often as you want. Its a con because he expects you to choose food from his list rather than food that you would actually enjoy. If it sounds good to be true... well I should have known better. I really am diappointed as I admired Allen Carr's ability as an author and I feel really cheated that I paid money for the inconsistent and unresearched rambling of somebody who it looks like has cashed in on his reputation for smoking cessation. Buy the book if you want but you have been warned

Stopped smoking with Allan Carr 2 years ago, so was very excited when I heard about the 'Allen Carr's Easyweigh to Lose Weight' weight loss system, book to go to a seminar. What a waste of money, expected to come out as motivated as I was with the stop smoking, instead came out totally deflated. My mother & I both did it for a month & lost nothing. Feel terrible as i persuaded my mother to pay the money & come with me.

Allen Carr's Easyweigh to Lose Weight is repetitive, badly written and in my opinion very badly researched. Should have stuck to getting people off the fags.
