Paul McKenna

Advantages: Easy to read, understand and is completely do-able in anyones lifestyle
Disadvantages: None

...Dont be fooled!!! Paul McKenna can actually make you thin, this book is amazing. I cannot stress enough how fantastic it is, it is like my new bible. Everything he says just makes so much sense you just dont understand why you ever dieted before. Why put yourself through the evil process of a diet? No need to count calories, points or fat. It just makes you obsessive when it comes to food. We have all said things like "No I cant eat that" and "I'll eat less today so I can eat more at the weekend". Paul McKenna helps you understand that food does not need to control us or our lives and to never go on a "diet" again. The book is so easy to read that I read it in one night and my life transformed. The cd with it is brilliant to, just upload it on to your ipod and listen away.... Read review

Advantages: Really works
Disadvantages: None, but you still need to be commited to the techniques

...I bought this book the week GMTV had Paul McKenna on for the whole week to discuss the techniques he uses in this book. I was convinced by Friday that I needed to buy it and got my copy in Asda for just £5.00!

All of them were then blindfolded before they started eating. They had ate the same breakie the day previous without blindfolds and calories had been counted after plates had been cleared... Amazingly, with the blindfolds on, and the instruction that knives/forks must be put down while chewing, (so you are taking your time and not shovelling food in).. these folk only ate around half of what they ate when they could see...

Advantages: Loosing excess weight
Disadvantages: remembering to listen to the CD

...My mum introduced me to this. I'd heard about Paul McKenna'a latest hypnotic CD which is designed to contact your sub-conscious (if I've spelt that correctly) and tell it that you don't need to eat certain foods. The book is very informative. You read it along side the CD that is attached to the inside cover at the back. Mr McKenna guides you through different aspects of this type of weight loss. There are no faddy diets to do, or milkshakes to drink you just literally follow the book and listen to the CD every few days. The CD - well this CD is amazing. You are advised to lay down in a quiet room with headphones. The CD lasts about 1/2 an hour and many people find that they drift off to sleep during it and they say that they don't remember what was said on the CD, but your sub-conscious has taken everything in and after...
