Start your review of Allen Carr's Easy Way for Women to Lose Weight: The original Easyway method (Allen Carr's Easyway)
So hard to honestly rate this one. I was curious about it as his method for quitting smoking is so famous and seems to work. I'm not so convinced about this one though. Carr's advice is very basic, and could be summarized as 'don't eat junkfood'. And by junk he also means most dairy and meat, not just ultraprocessed or fast food. Pretty straightforward, and you wouldn't need to read a whole book about it. Does it work though? I'm not sure. It feels as though he almost wants to hypnotize you into So hard to honestly rate this one. I was curious about it as his method for quitting smoking is so famous and seems to work.

It feels as though he almost wants to hypnotize you into the belief that you will only like healthy food (fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds) and will naturally not crave other stuff. Not convinced at all, but it may work for some. ...more

20 years ago I read the Easyway to Stop Smoking and quit a 40 a day habit when nothing else worked.
This book doesn't quite have the same conviction, probably because it wasn't written by Allen Carr. I get the concept but it's fairly lukewarm whereas the stop smoking book punched me in the face.
Probably wouldn't recommend this one but I do recommend the other one to every smoker I meet.

I decided to read this book because Allen Carr was the author of the book I read to quit smoking almost 12 years ago. This book is very similar to the easy way to quit smoking. Carr builds the argument for a weight loss and maintenance through logic. It shouldn't have been, but it was revolutionary to think about how we have been brainwashed by society and media to believe food is entertainment or anything more than nourishment for our bodies. Carr does agree that food is enjoyable but he also p I decided to read this book because Allen Carr was the author of the book I read to quit smoking almost 12 years ago.

It shouldn't have been, but it was revolutionary to think about how we have been brainwashed by society and media to believe food is entertainment or anything more than nourishment for our bodies. Carr does agree that food is enjoyable but he also puts it in its place for what it is. The first half of the book did a lot to shift my thought process around food and I believe in the long run will help me heal a very damaged relationship with food in my body. The second half of the book fell a little short for me as he is advocating for its fruit and vegetable-based diet because his claims are that is the way mother nature intended us to eat. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to change or challenge their mindset around food however maintain a balance between your own lifestyle and the one Allen Carr is advocating for ...more
On page 160 Carr started talking about the Little Monster and the Big Monster. That's when he finally lost me. Up to that point his book even made sense to me, but for heaven's sake, why those two monsters?
I've read dozens and dozens of weight loss books, but not in one of them was ever any mention of a Little Monster and a Big Monster.

Glad I got this one from the library. Might be an okay supplement to reinforce a healthy eating plan, but it's simplistic and at times, condescending. The "for women" part seems to be just marketing since there was nothing gender specific about the information. As another reviewer mentioned, "don't eat junk food" is the basic premise.

Thought I'd see what this was like since the quit smoking book worked so well for me over a decade ago! Not quite the same, as I expected... Thought I'd see what this was like since the quit smoking book worked so well for me over a decade ago! Not quite the same, as I expected... ...more
