Title: I hate to be negative, but...
Product review: I am a big fan of Dr Phil, and really admire his no-nonsense, straight-talking style. So I was intrigued to hear that he was publishing weight-loss books. But the fact that Dr Phil is selling meal replacement products blows his credibility right out of the water. I have lost 70 pounds over the last two-and-a half years, and in doing so I have learnt that re-educating yourself about food and changing your tastes is a long, slow process. (For example I used to LOVE chocolate and cheese and now I'm not remotely interested.) People who rely on meal replacement products don't learn to choose the "right" foods, and don't re-educate their palates. (What happens when you stop buying the meal replacement products?) So it's very disappointing that an "expert" on weight loss is peddling a quick-fix approach. It's also intriguing that very few people find the negative reviews posted here to be helpful. Maybe people just want to believe in quick-fixes...
