What you didn't see on TV.

 


"There's absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your weight under control to look your best," says Dr. Phil. "But too much of anything is not good, especially when it comes to dieting. You're putting your mind and body in harm's way if you're doing extreme things and it could even cost you your life. You can have the best of both worlds " you can do it healthfully, you can do it properly, and have everything you want and feel better while you're doing it."
