I thoroughly enjoyed this book written by Dr. Nick. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants/needs/decides to lose some weight and get healthier.
As an atheist I was a little apprehensive at first as I know Dr. Nick is a man of devout faith and I wrongfully assumed his book would be used as a soapbox to promote religion. This was nothing of the sort. It was merely one man sharing his journey, using the tools he has aquired, and sharing his experiences and words of wisdom with the rest of us.
While yes Dr. Nick does have strong faith and it's evident in this book, in no way does his faith overshadow the nutritional messages presented in the book but more so works in the authors favor to achieve his ultimate goal. Dr. Nick uses common sense, a cool reasonable approach, a positive attitude, a lot of humor, medically sound data and science to become a better, stronger, healthier individual. Theists, agnostics and atheists alike can appreciate that.
While reading this book, I was never made to feel less of a person for lacking a God belief (a rarity these days in any book written by a Christian). There was something very endearing about the way this book was written, the word "Heartfelt" comes to mind. Whether faith be used to move mountains or be used to take off pounds I have come to realize the importance and positive effects of such belief systems in many peoples lives.
Dieting is never easy. It's a difficult and painstaking process so it's nice to see that Dr. Nick is someone we can all commiserate with no matter what the stripe (theists, agnostics, and atheists alike). He truly has been there so we can learn from his experiences. This *how to* book is a wonderful, humorous way to make the weight loss process much more simplified and a little less of a shot in the dark. I followed the advice and lost weight almost effortlessly.
Dr. Nick and his common sense approach made a fan out of me. If more theists were like Dr. Nick truly this world would be a better place.
