Summary

We all have different shapes, tastes, and lifestyles, so why should one diet work for everyone? Dr. Sanders has analyzed over 700 weight-loss programs and uncovered an essential truth: You can lose weight with many diets, but you can only keep the weight off with a diet that satisfies you. The key to her plan is an interactive questionnaire about your medical history and the foods that tickle your taste buds and just by answering it, will take the guesswork out of selecting the diet that's a perfect fit for you.
