Review
The prime objective of this engaging scheme is not actually weight loss but enjoyment of life. You can eat what you want to, and feel better for it: an winning plan requiring no willpower. Carr (whose famous stop-smoking plan is based on similar philosophy) claims that the most overweight is due to the brainwashing of Western society overriding our natural instincts. Reverse the brainwashing and you can do what 99% of creatures on the planet do - eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full; eating mostly nutritious, healthy ingredients and avoiding the highly human trap of junk foods and refined sugar.
