Miracle Pill, 10 Truths to Healthy, Thin, and Sexy
By Tres Prier Hatch
All of society wants the Miracle Pill – Tres Prier Hatch gives it to us! I was excited to begin reading this book, and I wasn’t dissappointed. We all know that we have problems we need to fix, but we want to fix them NOW. Tres helps us understand why the “quick fix” is the very thing we DON’T need. You can diet, you can exercise, but it doesn’t guarantee that you will lose weight or size. Most of those who try to lose weight end up sabotaging themselves or just giving up before the real results can manifest. Even if you get the weight off with a great diet, you struggle to keep it off once you are “back to normal.” Tres teaches us with her book, and personal experience, that a true lifechange is the only way to successfully manage your health and life.
I liked the Preface to the book, which is a suggestion on how to use the book:
1. Please subject this book to hard use. Read with a pen and mark it up, make notes in the margins, treat it as a working manual. Miracle Pill is not intended to be another dust-gathering self-help book sitting unused on the shelf. When your personal notes and food splatters dot the pages and the binding is worn, you will have your money’s worth.
Tres also asks that you read each chapter and then absorb it before moving to the next one. While I couldn’t do that for this review, I fully agree that it is the best way to absorb the truths that are revealed inside this gem. I fully plan to go back through this book and abuse it as recommended.
I found the book to be well written and personable. I like the space provided for the reader to write down the excercises where they are discussed. What better way to get to the core of your feelings, rather than postpone until you can find the paper and pen to do the self-analysis! This is a great tool for those of us who want to get off the diet wagon and the weight seesaw! I want the joy of life without counting calories or grams. This book teaches us how to do just that. The Truths taught inside these pages resonated with me. I know that we are what we think as much as what we eat. I highly recommend Miracle Pill.

Dear Cheryl,
Thank you for an AMAZING review. It makes the twelve years I spent writing this book all worth it when people tell me they “resonated” with these concepts. Please feel free to revisit and give me feedback after you have had a chance to marinate in these principles and experience “ah hah” moments of your own.
I love your reviews and look forward to reading many more.
Sincerely,
Tres Hatch
