In The 20/20 Diet, Dr. Phil McGraw identifies the top seven reasons other diets fail people over and over again: hunger, cravings, feeling of restriction, impracticality, boredom, temptations, and slow results or plateaus. Then, he shares his solutions for each of these roadblocks by applying the latest research that has emerged since his last best-seller on the same topic, The Ultimate Weight Solution. We now know more than ever about how certain foods and exercises affect our bodies and brains, so Dr. Phil and his team have turned those discoveries into a plan that you can start following right now and continue working for the rest of your life. In this diet, readers will start by eating only 20 key ingredients, called the 20/20 Foods, which are shown to help you burn more calories and which have a time-release effect, so you feel fuller longer. But that's just the beginning. This book reveals the truth about why you haven't been able to lose the weight before, and empowers you with cognitive, behavioral, environmental, social and nutritional tools to finally reach your goal, and maintain those results.

As Dr. Phil says, "You can choose to see your goal with 20/20 accuracy, and when you see a goal that clearly, you can achieve it.".
