Synopsis

Reject the diet mentality that thrives on restrictions and deprivation.

Learn how to lose and manage weight with simple, livable steps.

Not a day goes by that the average American doesn’t think about weight. Yet the weight epidemic continues to grow. Today there are more obese individuals than those who are merely overweight. So what’s wrong?

 

In Full, celebrated bariatric surgeon Michael Snyder offers an insider’s perspective on weight loss: it’s not the surgery that creates success in his patients, it’s what they do afterward that counts! Using the science of fullness and introducing a new definition of healthy, he brings us powerful weight-control tools that are rooted in our physiology and proves that the undeniable feeling of fullness is the ultimate secret in the quest for weight loss – if you know how to effortlessly reach it without breaking the calorie bank or fighting your emotions. In Full, you will learn how to:

• Choose from a variety of practical strategies to achieve sustainable weight loss no matter what kind of foods you like to eat.

• End the confusion over portion control by synching visual and physiological cues of fullness.

• Be full with less food but equally as satisfied (if not more so!).

• Apply a cheat prescription so you can still say yes to indulgences and temptations without feeling like a failure.

• Take advantage of the five intentional steps of digestion to gain natural control of how—and how much—you eat.

• Find fulfillment in a physical activity that is inexpensive, easy, and convenient.

 

With Dr. Snyder’s rich body of experience and techniques, and these new strategies and definitions, you will move from self-hatred to self-understanding, from persistent dieting to living true to yourself, and from being unhappily overweight to being a healthy individual who knows a happy weight better than a scale does.

Goodreads review by Michael on January 19, 2011

We’ve always said that “diet” is a four-letter word, so to see a whole book that is based on the idea that you can be healthy, satisfied and full without dieting was like written music to our fit eyeballs. A symphony of the right-way-to-drop-pounds, in fact. And written by someone who has a unique y......more

Goodreads review by Audrey on March 10, 2011

Dr. Michael Snyder has written a book that he hopes helps readers learn how to gauge their "fullness" levels so they never have to diet again. FULL: A Life Without Dieting tells you why diets don't work and if you do rely on them it becomes a roller coaster of weight gain and loss. Snyder is well qua......more

Goodreads review by Sue on August 07, 2011

This is a wonderful "diet book" that will have you thinking about your diet and weight as never before. Dr. Snyder is a bariatric surgeon who has done more than 2700 procedures as of the writing of his book. He has a unique way of looking at dieting (unique in that we do not seem to consider his str......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on June 18, 2011

This book strongly advocates weight control involving controlling the kinds and quantities of food eaten. While not really a diet book, it focuses on "mindful eating", a thoughtful approach to eating that requires a deliberate effort in what foods are eaten and how they are eaten, and a way of life......more

Goodreads review by Richard on December 23, 2015

This isn't quite the normal diet book. It does not include exercises to do or meals to eat. It basically lets you know what the benefits are of different foods. It covers a decent amount of biology and then goes on to try and motivate you to eat properly. The book is ok. It is mostly common sense, bu......more
