Publisher's summary

A no-holds-barred, tough-love guide to dealing with your emotional issues and changing your mindset in order to finally lose weight, from the creator of weight loss reality TV, including The Biggest Loser and Extreme Weight Loss.

Every fat person (yes, "fat person" - there'll be no sugarcoating here) knows that you need to move more and eat less to shed pounds. Not exactly rocket science. Yet that simple formula doesn't get to the root of what makes someone top out at 500 pounds, or sometimes just carry an extra 50. The missing link in transformative weight loss is mental and emotional fortitude. Mining the same problem-solving and motivational skills JD Roth has used so successfully with reality show contestants, The Big Fat Truth gets listeners to address the real reasons they're overweight (and nobody gets away with saying it's because they love food).

With his combination of enthusiasm, empathy, no-holds-barred style, and master story-telling abilities, JD helps them unearth and tackle the unresolved issues they've buried under the French fries and chocolate chip cookie.

Motivational

This book has a lot of good information and the narration is great. I took one star away because it contains a lot of information that’s in other weight loss books that I felt didn’t add anything.

Motivation

Very inspiring & motivating. Has great stories & experiences that we can learn from. His voice is exciting not boring so I enjoyed listening to him reading the book. He’s very motivating and really does know what he’s talking about. Glad to have gotten it and although it’ll take time to get to my goal I really am inspired to go workout & really eat healthy and do the things I’m supposed to and not what I’m not supposed to. He gets it!

Not for chubby people trying to lose a few pound

This book is geared for morbidly obese individuals and I couldn't relate entirely because I am not obese. I was hoping that this book would motivate me to lose that few pounds that's been lingering but it didn't. There were however good quotes related to mental aspect of why diet fails and how that can be improved, which I can reference back to going forward.

Also I believe in ketogenic diet and JD talking about how fat is bad made my teeth cringe.

No BS book about weightloss

I loved listening to this book. The author tells it like it is with compassion but without all the BS.

Motivating but lacking content

I was expecting a heckuva lot more facts about how to lose weight, but was given generalizations, albeit by a positive narrator!
