Reviews
The number six is very important in this book, which is likely to be the most hyped diet book of the season. Mellin tells us there are six causes of weight loss and six cures for it--two body, two mind, and two lifestyle. The six cures override the six causes . . . well, you get the idea. In fact, the plethora of sixes proves distracting, which is too bad because some of Mellin's material is legitimately interesting and useful. The ubiquitous anecdotal style often found in self-help books ("Kevin hit the candy machine and worked incessantly" ) gets a little heavy (oops!), but certainly readers struggling with their own weight problems will respond to Mellin's suggestions for nurturing your emotional needs, banishing body shame, eating a balanced diet, and establishing an active lifestyle. More than many diet-book writers, Mellin understands that people, especially the overweight, don't want to get off the couch and exercise. That's where her ideas about understanding the emotional and psychological roots of the problem come in, and her theory is that weight loss can be the result of nurturing oneself and controlling eating in a realistic way. Oh, one more thing. You have to exercise, too. Ilene Cooper
