"Dr. Aguila’s book cuts to the chase by highlighting why our attempts to lose weight so often fail. We humans are an inextricably connected system of body and mind, and diets that overlook this fact are doomed. Dr. A’s description of the cycle of obesity and how to break it is a major contribution. I look forward to applying these methods myself."
