— David A Kessler, MD. Former FDA commissioner and author.
“An honest, straightforward, and helpful guide for people who wish to lose weight sensibly and safely and then keep it off. THE ‘I’ DIET is scientifically sound and easy to implement. I highly recommend it.”

“In The Instinct Diet, Susan Roberts translates over twenty years’ experience conducting nutrition studies into a practical prescription for weight loss. Whereas many diet book authors focus simplistically on just one factor, she shows us how many aspects of the modern food environment gang up against our biology — and most importantly, what we can do about it. Her book’s 8-week program, based on the latest scientific insights into nutrition and psychology, provides wise guidance along the road to long-term weight management. I recommend The Instinct Diet with enthusiasm.”
— David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, Director, Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) Program, Children’s Hospital, Boston, and author of Ending the Food Fight: Guide your Child to a Health Weight in a Fast Food/Fake Food World
