If you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off, listen to what I say. My program will give you rare delight. But if you don't have fun doing this thing, my friend, then it will be the dumbest damned thing you have ever done. I don't mean taking weight off and keeping it off, I mean the crucial matter of gaining control of part of your life. That's what you'd better glory in; otherwise you might as well ask your mother what to do next.
This is the only diet book you're likely to see in the pages of Bas Bleu. Richard Watson is a professor of philosophy, an explorer of caves, a runner, a novelist, and--guess what!--he's opinionated. But his wry little book makes lots of sense. There's no fake science here and only one recipe. Watson says losing weight is hard, very hard--a refreshingly realistic change from all those books that tell you how easy it is. He's happy to serve as coach and motivator in your efforts to take charge of your life. This philosophical little book is charming, clever, funny, at times naughty, and thoroughly delightful--a diet book to savor and devour. I read every page, some of them twice!
