Why did I ever give this book away? When I first read it a few years ago (and highlighted and underlined it and highlighted it again) it opened up a window of possibility in my soul that yes, God does exist and yes, listens to my every prayer. I found hope, strength, and help from this little book and for the first time was able to see a way out of my compulsive eating. Now, a few years later, I find myself longing to read those pages again. I’m buying my second copy. This was is a life-changer.

One person in a review above gave one star, saying she didn’t have the book, that everyone raved about it, but didn’t say how much they lost, how long it took and if things in the book helped them keep it off. This misses the point of the book. I was drawn to it because I know prayer works for other things and I thought, why not for weight loss? But there are so many more gifts in the book, or actually, ways to give yourself gifts. The book is very well written too. Dr. Cooper manages to gradually add, in each succeeding chapter, more depth to what he had written in the chapters before. It is a book I will refer to again and again.

I strongly believe in the power of prayer and credit it for helping me in my low-carb weight loss journey back in 2004. God gave me the strength to stay on plan even when I felt like giving up and He rewarded me with a 180-pound weight loss in just one year. So naturally I am supportive of anyone who wishes to implore the Almighty as part of their weight management plan.
The Prayer Diet espoused by Dr. Matthew Anderson is focused specifically on making prayer the central focus of your weight and health plan. By taking the focus off of food, your weight, the health problems you may be facing, and all those other issues that tend to dominate the discussion regarding your diet, Dr. Anderson shifts the focus to God where it belongs and His sovereignty to make the necessary changes in you to bring about weight loss.
If you’re not a Christian, then you probably won’t understand why this diet could possibly work for you. But any believer who trusts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will tell you how essential prayer is to a healthy spiritual life. And The Prayer Diet simply extends this to your physical life, too. Specific prayers for yourself and others are included in the book to help guide you towards God’s will regarding the weight and health of you and your loved ones.

An excellent source of help for those wishing to address the root causes of their overeating or eating disorder. The idea of prayer to aid in the solution couldn’t be truer. To enlist God’s help IS the solution and the positive answers occur everywhere to those with eyes and ears.

This is not the only diet book you will ever need but it will make all the others you have effective. The lessons taught are jolting rather than soothing. Be prepared for a few knocks on the head even though you consider yourself devout, religious, pious etc. And if you don’t consider yourself devout, religious, pious try this book anyway. You may get a nice surprise.
