Finally, the weight loss answer!
By Lee Mellott
Over the years I have read hundreds of weight loss books. The result has been total confusion, as I muddled through conflicting information. Count your points, eat low fat, boost your metabolism with supplements, eat all you want but eat low carb, etc. Hundreds of different books all with a different opinion on how to lose weight.
When a friend told me about Dr. Ellis’s book, “Dr. Ellis’s Ultimate Diet Secrets Lite”, I figured it was just another diet scheme dreamed up by the author to make himself rich and would probably make me fatter. I had dieted myself up the scale, trying out different plans. Gained 20 pounds eating all the fats and protein on one actresse’s well known diet plan. Lost but quickly regained weight watching points on another plan. You name it, I tried it and ended up regaining weight and getting fatter.
But the desire to lose weight was strong so I decided to read Dr. Ellis’s book. I purchased the LITE version. The depth of Dr. Ellis’s knowledge is so impressive, I later anted up for the BIG version of his book. But this review will focus on his LITE version.
The book really begins with the cover. Dr. Ellis is pictured on the cover and his physique is spectacular. It’s obvious he practise what he preaches. Over the years Ellis has experimented with his own body and in labs and explains clearly in this book exactly what adjustments you must make to lose weight and keep it off permanently. He has a PhD in Physiology and is an expert in bodyweight regulation.
Ellis exposes the myths surrounding weight loss, that have caused failure and frustrations for hundreds of thousands of people. And he spells out exactly what one must do to get rid of unwanted pounds forever.
No dieting Ellis believes in simple changes that will give you permanent results. The first key is that calories DO count. The sellers of the low carb books would like you to believe that there is a metabolic advantage to their program. Ellis dispells this myth and explains exactly how and why calories are the bottomline.
Ellis does not stress dieting. His program involves making wise choices to lose weight. Eat a little less and burn more activity calories and you will achieve your desired goal.
Ellis describes exactly how to do that in the book. And for all those looking for the magic fix explains why it isnt out there!
Though this is the LITE version of the Big book it is jam packed with information. Chapters include physical activity, behavoir modification, the plan to lose weight, why low fat diets don’t work, ketosis, the scoop on low carbohydrate diets and much more!
Despite the science in the book, Ellis manages to explain everything clearly. And your interest and excitement in the book will grow page after page as you realize how you have been duped in the past and have finally found the answer to your weight loss woes.
Once you have read the book you will know exactly what to do to lose weight and keep it off permanently!

By Andrew J McMillen
Since there is no NO on this diet you don’t become fixated on what you can’t have. Instead of following a “to do” list, you learn what happens biochemically to any food that’s eaten. This changes how you feel about food before the 3 rules are laid on you. The rules are plain old common sense. ALL diets that fail violate either one or all of these rules. You finally see once and for all WHY everything you did in the past COULD NOT work. You can actually take UDS and combine it to any diet and turn that diet into a winner or just follow it all itself. Dieting is math, not myth. UDS contains the sad truth- none of our pet beliefs are true. If you want something, you have to do something for it. That’s why some people are fat- they are the same people that want something for nothing. That’s why we admire people with incredible bodies- we know they don’t come easy. All the other diet books claim to be EASY. If it’s so easy then why would ANYONE be fat. It’s because it’s not easy. It’s not hard but it’s also not easy. Without this information you are guaranteed to fail. The “Lite” version has all the facts you need. I recommend the larger more expensive version because Ellis’s story is amazing and he tells you what he thinks about EVERYTHING and doesn’t hold back. Just be sure to GET THIS BOOK!

HELPFUL, BUT DISAPPOINTED
By Mark Allen Thompson
THIS BOOK WAS A DISAPOINTMENT TO ME AND IN MY OPINION NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THE BOOK WAS HELPFUL IN REVIEWING THE BASIC METABOLIC PROCESSES, BUT GIVES NOTHING NEW TO ANYONE WHO HAS STUDIED THIS TOPIC IN DEPTH. THE BOOKS BASIC IDEAS ARE 1)TOTAL CALORIE CONSUMED MATTERS, BUT IS NOT THE BEST PLACE TO WORK ON WEIGHT CONTROL, 2) A LOW CARB DIET TO REDUCE APPETITE AND CAUSE THE BODY TO SHIFT TO FAT BURNING, 3) AND INCREASE ACTIVITY. NONE OF THESE ARE NEW CONCEPTS, BUT DR. ELLIS FEELS THAT ONLY HE KNOWS THE TRUTH. HE PRESENTS HIMSELF IN A WAY THAT WAS A TURN OFF FOR ME. A USED CAR SALEMAN APPROACH. HE COULD HAVE REDUCED THE BOOK TO 100 PAGES AND TOLD YOU ALL THAT WAS NEEDED. THE REST OF THE FLUFF IS MOSTLY HIM TELLING YOU HOW HARD HIS JOURNEY TO PERFECTION HAS BEEN, SLASHING OTHER PEOPLES WORK, AND TELLING YOU HOW SMART HE IS. IT GOT OLD AFTER A FEW HUNDRED PAGES. THE BOOK HAS GOOD INFORMATION IN IT, BUT IN THE END IT COMES DOWN TO YOU DOING THE WORK AND STICKING WITH IT LONG TERM. OVERPRICED, BUT HAS SOME WORTH.
