Review of Diet King (Paperback)

This is a beautiful, comedic yet moving tale of the life, loves, family relationships, friendships, and eating patterns of a gentleman who happens to be of ample body contour. This wonderful literary entertainment reminds me of my own cuddly, generously-proportioned boyfriend, who, unfortunately, lost his life in a car crash in 2003. The hefty, handsome hero of this beautiful story, like my departed boyfriend, tried all kinds of weight-management methods, had many clashes with people due to his ample dimensions, had a woman break up with him due to his size, and met another woman, via the Internet, who adored him and thought his large looks were adorable. (just the way I felt about my boyfriend.) This lady ended up being his bride. I love the way this book focuses less on diets and eating and more on the large-sized fellow's interpersonal relationships and societal dealings. This book made me laugh, cry, and cheer. Do I recommend it? You can bet bucks to bagels I do!

Product Description
What really goes on in the mind of an overweight person? The inspirational novel Diet King takes a whimsical look into the world of Peter Wells and his emotional twenty-five-year journey through dieting hell.


When young Peter Wells embarks on a field trip with his third-grade class, his problems begin when he hurls insults at a large-sized classmate. In high school, Wells cuts gym classes and rapidly gains weight. His parents and his school counselor send him to a drill sergeant/psychologist who believes that exercise will help cure Wells of his poor eating habits. Wells begins a rigorous and lengthy pilgrimage to lose weight by attending diet meetings with a reluctant brother, by challenging an intolerant corporate world, and by dealing with an overzealous vegetarian hostess during a weekend retreat. He begins a low-carb diet and watches his ailing, overweight father request fast food from his hospital bed. After facing a frightening close call with his own health, Wells begins to question his choices.


In Diet King, Peter Wells must make a life-changing decision-does he want to 'eat to live' or 'live to eat'?
