It seems that the majority of negative comments were about the cheesy jokes in the book. What do you think? I think that Dr. Oz has been on Oprah a few times and was curious about this book.

Originally Posted By smeeeko mele: in regards to YOU: on a diet.. yeah the jokes are kind of ehhh.. same sort of thing some people don't like about the Genie character.. too much American Cultural stuff of 'today' and written so anyone pretty much can 'get it' so on one hand, I think that is what they were going for.. but oth, it makes reading stuff a lot quicker. One of the things that bugged me about YOU: the Owners Manual was that the names of stuff was changed on a lot of medical stuff with a lot of nmeumonic (sp?) devices I just didn't get to the point, that I didn't get the drawings.. The idea of elves runnning my digestion wasn't that hot either.. but I'm sure it appeals to a lot of folks. I've only been back on program (WW) for less than a week and I got all this food in the apartment we had left over from NYE and Christmas so I lost about two pounds my first week, which is better than nothing I guess. I'm using the OZ books as diet tools.. along with my points. (which reminds me we're out of nuts). SeanYoda dvr'd today's OZ show you mentioned so I haven't watched it yet. =) I plan too.. maybe someone asked them about the confusing drawings.. and the brad pitt jokes (I get them but I don't like brad pitt so whatever).

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka LOL TDG. Thanks smeeeko. Yeah, I don't think I'd like the elves drawing either. We have a bunch of food left in our house too. Congrats on the 2 lbs. though. That's better than nothing and definitely means you're trying if your house has all of that food in it!
Originally Posted By threeundertwo Also just finished "You on a Diet". A quick read. Reminded me of some classes I took long ago. The elves were a little weird. Just started "The Well of Lost Plots." I loooooove Jasper Fforde and this is even better than the first two. Funny thing, I picked it up at a used book store, and as I turned a page last night, a business card fell out from a restaurant in Paris. Very funny when you consider that the characters travel through pneumatic tubes to quickly get to the other side of the earth. Anyway, it amused *me*.
