i have read this book out of intertest after loosing 2 stone with paul mckenna.i have an interest in people and our relationship with food
i like the idea of intuitive eating,but then its says you shouldnt really eat alot of this or that,surely if he says follow your instincts about what to eat,saying what you idealy shouldnt eat is a contradiction? i mean with paul mckenna there is nothing at all you should be thinking about,no sugar or dairy,meat questions.just plain simple eat what you want and let the body tell yopu,how can your body be wrong.i have lost losts of weight and i dont eat alot of any so called junk food ,but if i really fancy it,i have it. i do think he has some interesting points and my husband stopped smoking thanks ...

...although if bacteria won't touch tinned food, why should you? The man had the gift of cutting through the industry c**p; he showed the way with smoking and here he explains why you are eating the way you are, highlighting what you actually already know but won't admit to. That's not to say this is painful to read; on the contrary, it is easy (suppose it would be, really)and you find yourself on the path without knowing your feet are moving. That's the strange thing... I'm now a non-smoking teetotal vegan without ever really trying to be. Good job he never wrote 'Mein Kampf - the easyway!' Do I need Allen Carr in all areas of my life? Not to worry - I've got Allen Carr's 'No More Worries' on order.

I read this book because i read the alcohol one and it made me stop drinking even though I had no intention of stopping as I didn't have a problem with drink. I read easyweigh twice and the reasoning in the book rang true for a few weeks but then I found myself questioning a lot of the logic. I like the fact he goes against convention and tries to rid you of brainwashing but then he puts a load more brain washing in which can be confusing. I also like the fact he said that diets don't work as I've believed that for a long time, I also believe that eating when hungry and stopping when full is the best way to maintain a healthy weight but just saying do that and actually doing it are two different things. Most people I know are overweight because ... Read More:

I have read both Allen Carr's easyway and onlyway books ( both very helpful), so i decided to read the easyweigh book.
I think when Allen discovered his no smoking method , he was frustrated by the lack of support from the medical profession ,so i felt he used his books as a medium to project his frustrations; easyweigh being no exception.
At the end of his onlyway book he asked "if the experts are wrong about smoking , what else are they wrong about?", so this question seems to reflect his frame of mind while writing the easyweigh book. It also effects the integrity of his request to keep an "open mind" since he has already developed a negative bias towards the medical profession.
He seems to ... Read More:

After reading reviews on Amazon , I decided to read this book since I am a fan of unorthodox writings .The book seems to have a lot comparisons with the way animals eat , but I feel he seems to rush to conclusions, for example: Is instinctive eating the real reason why wild animals are not overweight?
He agrees that in the wild there is not enough food , but he also states that in times of abundant food there are no overweight animals. But he fails to state that with abundance of food there is fierce competition for the food , and instead of becoming overweight animals seem to give more births which reduces the food/animal ratio and eventually leads to less food. His analogy on termites was completely wrong , termites are incapable ... Read More:
