Title: Not everything boils down to seratonin
Review: Dr. Pawlak adds basic info on brain structure and hormones, exercise, blah blah blah. It probably is very helpful for a slice of the population, but just like ANY program, it is not the answer for all, despite what she says. I found her writing to be very critical and arrogant. She completely dismisses other bodies of data, insisting her way is the only way, and yet doesn't even mention issues such as food allergies or their impact on weight. She also over-complicates the topic of weight, making it more psychological, about addiction - as though the brain and seratonin levels are completely at fault. I would only recommend this if I thought someone needed to read about the relationship between eating and seratonin, or if they maybe needed kindling and ran out of twigs and newspaper. Also, I agree with one of the other reviewers, she has everything double-spaced and stretched out with "extra paragraphs" so it easily takes up four times as much space.
Is the review positive or negative?
