For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding
medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with
our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling
biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge
at buffets or store so much fat.

　　Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America’s most trusted doctor team and
authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this
cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist.
They’re going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat:
knowledge. By understanding how your body’s fat-storing and fat-burning
systems work, you’re going to learn how to crack the code on true and
lifelong waist management.

　　Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information,
motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain,
stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all
interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a
baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In YOU: On a Diet, Roizen and Oz
will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an
under-theskin tour of the organs that influence your body’s size and its
health. You’ll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not
your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks
of storing too much fat.

　　Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail
spammers, you’d think that just about all of us would know everything
there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our
bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet
plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish
berries-only eating plan. It’s a complete manual for waist management.
It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body
size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system
can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that
facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn
about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat,
you’ll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn,
follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help
you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start.

　　With Roizen and Oz’s signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU:
On a Diet -- The Owner’s Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize
the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that
you’ll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to your body on a diet.
