The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy (Paperback) Review

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (2/07)

When I first looked at this book, my initial thought was "Oh no, not another book on dieting!"However, when I flipped through the pages to see if I would review it or not I was pleasantly surprised that indeed it was a "pharmacy" and not another dieting book.In fact, "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" may be the first and the only book about weight loss supplements that is based on proven and researched scientific facts, and on top of that, written by a medical doctor.

One of the authors, Harry Preuss, MD, is not only a professor at Georgetown Medical Center but he has dietary supplement and nutraceutical research centers that focus on obesity, heart disease and the ever growing insulin resistance.The scientific references in this book not only address the research conducted by Preuss but also by the Mayo Clinic and many European centers.

The contents of the book focus on: fat busters, insulin regulators, carbohydrate inhibitors, fat blockers, appetite suppressors as well as muscle builders.Each section thoroughly explains, in lay terms, the issue, the natural substance e.g. green tea, chromium, etc., possible illnesses if obesity isn't regulated and how to use the product.

One of the important factors I believe the authors included in "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" is their chapter 12 - The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy Supplement Program: Designing the Approach That's Right for You.After reading the book and understanding the natural supplements that are available, the authors' first suggestion is to partner up with a professional, and more importantly reiterate that the supplements alone will not substitute a healthy diet and exercise.Chapter 12 addresses the supplements in a condensed version and suggests considerations as well as gives case studies.Of all the case studies the authors present, it is highly unlikely that an interested reader wouldn't find themselves in one of them.

I've picked up many dieting books over the years and I must say this is the best that I have ever seen.Preuss and Gottlieb present the most concise version of many books put together.They leave out a lot of the filler that is in many books and only confuses the reader."The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" is a must for anyone that wants to create a safe way to lose weight and then maintain it.

Fat-Proof Your Family: God's Way to Forming Healthy Habits for Life [Paperback] Review

Don't you hate it when doctors get too cerebral when writing about their specialties? I'm not sure if they're trying to impress their readers with a lot of big words, or if they honestly believe that they hold us spellbound with their foreign dialect that neither informs nor excites. Usually, I'm left with a feeling of inadequacy, unable to understand what must be obvious to a child.

Thank god for Dr. Eaker! He clearly has a heart for helping people regain their vitality and quality of life. Best of all, the information is accessible and easily applied to everyday behavior.

If you are looking for a book on how to lose weight, get more energy, and just plain feel better, then this is the book for you. Dr. Ron Eaker's "Fat-Proof Your Family" is a joy to read and will reshape your view of food (not to mention your figure).

Feed Your Tiger: The Asian Diet Secret for Permanent Weight Loss and Vibrant Health (Paperback) Review

This is the only lifestyle book I have found that treats food addictions, including emotional bingeing, as an opportunity for weight loss. Using the Feed Your Tiger baseline diet recommended for everyone, I lost weight because it simplifies eating without counting calories. Following the author's recommendations for teas, spices, and simple dishes I finally lost weight after years of trying. No diet ever lasted longer than a week because they were boring. This one is not.

I love the idea of being a dragon - instead of an overweight person!! Most weight loss books stress "don't" foods or push extreme foods. I have applied the Feed Your Tiger diet to my own Italian meals--a smaller portion of whole grain pasta, more salad, more hot spice, and lots of tea. Lots.

This book has recipes for cooks - not my thing-- and easily available supplements for non-cooks. My favorite new snack food is spicy popped corn. Now I also devour toasted seaweed. I even ordered a reishi mushroom extract. WOW - It gives my day a charge!! I feel great and after eating like a Dragon for a month my friends have asked me: What happened to you?This book deserves at least 10 stars.

Slim Forever - For Men: Subliminal Self Help [Abridged][Audiobook] (Audio CD) Review

An excellent subliminal recording that works, SLIM FOREVER FOR MEN delivers an easy to absorb positive message that weight loss is all a matter of simply changing one's mind.

This recording includes a section on creative self-awareness, a series of affirmations, and a basic, softly played piano tune overlaid upon the messages of the first section.

The narrator's voice may be a bit too "New Age" for some, but the lessons on this tape are messages that need to be impressed upon the mind whether the listener has a weight problem or not.

Weight loss will definitely occur if the program outlined on the tape (at least once a day, every day, for six weeks) is followed. Other life altering changes may occur, too.

Definitely worth the time for any man interested in self improvement, SLIM FOREVER FOR MEN is an inexpensive and effective way to begin the process of change.

The Duke Diet: The World-Renowned Program for Healthy and Lasting Weight Loss [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

No food combining; No forbidden foods.Maybe it was the fact that I liked the menus in the plan.Or, the fact that I would love to attend The Duke Diet & Fitness Center but, lack the $9,000 it would cost me for a 4 week stay. Either way, I loved the book.There are a total of 16 menus in the book (2 different carbohydrate levels at 2 different calorie levels for 4 weeks) It takes a body,mind, food approach that really works for me.I've lost 6 pound in 2 weeks and continue to lose. This is not rapid weightloss.But, I feel great and no one knows I'm dieting.They even have a letter for you to use to those who are trying to "help" you diet telling these people what is and isn't helpful ( you fill in the blanks of course.)

Absolutely priceless.

I fed my husband meals from this plan and he didn't know it was "diet"food.

Lose Weight with Green Tea: A Safe Weight-Loss Method That Works (Paperback) Review

There has been a ton of research conducted in regards to the benefits of Green Tea.Patricia Rouner has compiled and summarized this information into a great book called Lose Weight with Green Tea.While I feel the title and back cover text is very "hypey" the information presented is clear, concise, and very informative.

One of the best pieces of information covered in the book was explaining the components of green tea that actually provides the real benefit - polyphenols and antioxidants.

Other information included was:
-The different types of tea
-The best way to prepare tea
-Which commercially available green teas have the highest antioxidants
-The benefits/harms of caffeine
-Green Tea supplements and what to look for
-How much green tea should you drink?
-How green tea combats certain diseases

The bottom line is, a person loses weight with a proper diet and exercise but green tea can slightly increase your metabolism and provide additional health benefits so drinking it is a good idea, but as can be expected, you can't eat Cheeseburgers 3 times a day and lose weight just by drinking Green Tea.

Death to Diabetes: The Six Stages of Type 2 Diabetes Control & Reversal (Version 1.0) (Paperback) Review

It is interesting that two of the most helpful books on diabetes that I have found - this one and "Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars" by Dr. Bernstein - were both written by diabetics and fellow engineers rather than by doctors. However, Dr. Bernstein is an engineer who went to medical school and became a doctor. Often it seems that those non-patients from the medical profession are stubbornly wed to what they have been taught is the truth about this disease regardless of outcome. Sometimes I wonder if it is the result of traditional medical training, based more on memorization than systematic problem solving, that causes this frustrating result.

In this book, the author goes over how he went from someone who went into a diabetic coma with a blood glucose of 1337 (80-120 is normal) who had been subsisting on processed food to someone who has slimmed down, learned to eat right, and now has a blood sugar in the 80-110 range. He talks about how the foods diabetics are not discouraged to eat by the medical profession such as potatoes, bananas, cereal, and many dairy products cause the blood sugar to spike and worsen glucose control. Instead, he recommends that you snack on veggies such as brussel sprouts. He even talks about his "power breakfast" - brussel sprouts with olive oil, salmon, and water. He determined what worked for him the same as Dr. Bernstein - by meticulous record keeping of his blood glucose after ingesting various foods.

The author also talks about other issues that will be more familiar such as exercise and record keeping. Also, he incorporates a spiritual component into his healing process that includes prayer and inspirational quotes. Finally, he talks about various nutritional supplements such as cinnamon, gymnema sylvestre, and bitter melon, and how each might be helpful in blood glucose control.

The reason I am only giving this book four stars is that, although everyone will be helped by reading this book and following its advice, not everyone will be, for all intents and purposes, "cured" of their diabetic condition. For one thing, the author is a man, and diabetes in women often faces the additional complications of insulin reacting with the female hormones to make the condition more difficult to treat. Then there are those of us with polyglandular failure where more than one of the endocrine systems fails - for example, hypothyroidism combined with diabetes greatly complicates the treatment of both conditions. Also, there are drug-induced cases of diabetes such as those caused by thiazide diuretics, necessary to limit blood pressure in salt-sensitive individuals. However, if yours is a case where there is not a strong genetic component or complicating factors, and your lifestyle is the greatly dominating cause of the disease, you might be able to mimic the author's truly tremendous outcome.

The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week [Spiral-bound] Review

Please, before you judge or listen to the negative reviews let me say something. I started working this plan when very little information was available about it May of 2009. I did it when there was no book and only limited information available via the internet.Basically I took the 15 sugar 6 carb idea from Jorge and ran with it. So far I have lost 60 lbs on the Belly Fat Cure and I plan to lose 30 more to reach my goal.Those people writing negative reviews just want to open a book and have the weight fall off their bodies. You have to take control and want this for yourself. Read the book for insight and understanding and not just to be led around like a puppet.

Second, I live in a rural area with no Whole Foods Market or anything around and have to travel far for a health food store or order online to get some of the items that are in book. But not all of them.Jorge just gives the healthiest options, but you can make substitutions. If something is not available in your area, use something else. Most of us don't know that these healthier products exist.We let the mainstream dictate what we are putting in our bodies and feeding to our children.What we should be doing instead of attacking Jorge is to demand that these healthier options be made more readily available to us in our local markets. A lot of what he proposes include no artificial sweetners because of their alleged negative affects.If this isn't a concern of yours then make a substitution that includes artificial sweetners. I'm sure Jorge wouldn't advocate this but I have to admit that I do use some of the products that are on his Belly Bad List.I make the food and the plan work for me.For instance, Jorge doesn't like sugar free puddings that you can buy on the shelf because of the artificial sweetners.I try to avoid the artificial sweetners as much as I can but if I want a chocolate pudding then I'll have one.No biggie. Personal choice, hello?

I do not have a ton of money and was actually unemployed when I started this way of eating last summer.Yes, I think of it as a way of eating - not a diet.This is how I live now.So to those who claim its expensive that's not true.It doesn't have to be.The recipes in the book are simple and great tasting.They include normal foods that you probably already eat now. Its just about making it in a healthier way and making better choices.Things you would never think you could eat while losing weight.You do not feel deprived at all.It really is a mindset change more than anything.

I'm shocked and amazed at the people who complain about it being full of recipes, menu plans, and product evaluations?? Really this has me baffled.Isn't that what we all need anyway - the meat and potatoes of the thing? While Jorge explains an overview of the science behind why the plan works, do you really want a book full of technical jargon and trials and studies?If you google Jorge Cruise or take a look at some of his Youtube videos....he has interviews on there with experts that explain more indepth about the dangers of sugar.This is serious business, folks.Check them out.

I really hope that people will try this way of eating and don't judge the book based on the negative reviews.Its a shame because I know that I rely heavily on amazon reviews for nearly everything but this is one instance where I can truly say the negative reviewers have it all wrong.

Thank you, Jorge, for your passion for health and bringing awareness to this nation.The book and your wisdom have been a blessing to me and my family.

The EatingWell Diet: The University-Tested VTrim Weight-Loss Program (Paperback) Review

My wife and I have lost weight every week we have tried this diet. It is very easy to understand and implement. The recipes are fantastic and very filling. We are amazed that we can lose weight and still eat most of the foods we love. We are eating better and feeling better than we have for years. The concept behind this book does not rely on gimmicks or unproven theories. The basic idea is that your body is like a calculator. What is added is calorie intake (weight you gain) what is subtracted is energy burned (weight you lose). The book explains how to easily calculate and eventually balance this equation. After trying a host of diets that were embarrassingly unscientific and unworkable it is nice to find one that is logical and practical.

Product Description:
A science-based plan that brings together cutting-edge, university-tested weight-loss strategies with delicious, quick, and easy recipes.

"Almost everyone knows the truth: to lose the weight, we need to eat less and move more," says weight-managment pioneer Jean Harvey-Berino. "This book is about the missing link: how to do it."

Harvey-Berino believes that permanent weight loss only happens by changing everyday behaviors: replacing old, unhealthy habits with new ones. And clinical research proves her right: participants in her behaviorally based VTrim™ Weight Management Program lost an average of 21 pounds in 6 months-more than double that of an online commercial weight-loss program.

In a unique collaboration, The EatingWell Diet brings you the tools that helped "VTrimmers" succeed-including goal-setting, self-tracking, and controlling eating "triggers"-along with wisdom and recipes from the creative cooks and nutrition experts at the nation's premier magazine of food and health. More than just a sensible way to lose weight, it's a workbook for a healthy way of life. Full-color thoughout.

The Vanity Diet: Destroying The Weightrix (Volume 1) [Paperback] Review

If what Greg says is correct, then there is a hidden force that prevents us from awakening to our true selves and it achieves this by keeping us addicted to something so powerful that hardly anyone realizes it's a drug. As you read The Vanity Diet you will follow the story of Ciborg Burns and how his search for the ultimate weight loss program takes him face to face with this force which he calls the Weightrix. Greg believes that most of the food that is available to us in our modern day world is simply not what nature intended for us to eat. I think it would be safe to say that the vast majority of people want to live healthier, happier lives but the Weightrix has so many traps and diversions for us like the idea that food has to taste good or that you have to exercise hard to have a fit body that it really takes a great effort and determination to fight it and defeat it. Many people are intellectually aware of this but they see it as an inevitable effect of man's modern ways, they can't grasp the idea that we are dealing with a force that feeds on our misery and disease which of course all you have to do is look around and you will see so many people struggling with obesity which in turns leads to many other health problems. However Greg believes and I happen to agree with him, that it is not by accident but by design. It'simpossible to fight an enemy when you can't even see it, let alone be able to defaeat it, therefore the first logical step would be to know who or what it is that you are fighting and once you know this the next thing would be to become aware of its weapons and tactics. This is why I believe Greg's concept of the Weightrix is revolutionary in the sense that it identifies this enemy and he gives you a weapon with which to rid it from your life.

Mind Over Body: The Key to Lasting Weight Loss Is All in Your Head (Hardcover) Review

A self-help mind body spirit weight loss and fitness book by former Mr. France and Mr. Universe, Nordine Zouareg, Mind Over Body looks at the interconnection between what we believe and how we become. Zouareg is the fitness coach at the exclusive Miraval Life in Balance spa and resort in Arizona.

Zouareg describes how everyone can learn and implement his method for mental motivation--what he calls our `core desire'--and then learn how to master the tools (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to keep on track with weight-loss goals. After readers understand and practice these tools, they learn some of the basics about nutrition and the Miraval way of healthy living. The book comes with an exercise plan developed by the author to shed unwanted pounds. According to Mr. Zouareg, consistent use of the mind body spirit method will keep the additional weight off forever.

But to truly test any self-help weight loss book, I knew that I had to bring it into my own life. I started with the creative visualization, then the meditation, and finally the affirmations. I admit that I felt more than a little silly saying the affirmations. Being a writer, I found I did best by saying them, and then writing them down in a journal.

I then read about the basics of nutrition and the 40/40/20×5 fat loss plan, and tried some of the sample recipes that were actually quite tasty. The vegetable omelet was a big hit in my household.

On to the exercise....I'm more of a couch potato, but oddly enough I enjoyed the stretching exercises, even found them relaxing. The more strenuous exercises...well, I'm still working on those. I see this more as a slow progression, one that will hopefully develop into a good habit. So, how much weight have I lost? 4.5 pounds in ten days. Not bad for a former junk food eating couch potato.

Other links and resources are in the index.

I highly recommend this book if you are truly ready to change your life and willing to try a more holistic approach to weight loss and healthy living.

Armchair Interviews says: More than just a diet book, this combines the mind, body and spirit for weight-loss success.

The true secret to weight-loss success is all in your head.

Nordine Zouareg has helped thousands of clients get healthier, be happier, and lose weight for good. And in the process, he's discovered something astounding: the mental work his clients do before they start their diet and exercise plan is actually just as (if not more) important than the plan itself.

In Mind Over Body, Nordine describes how everyone can find this mental motivation -- what he calls our "core desire" -- and then master the tools (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to keep on track with weight-loss goals. After readers develop this foundation, they move on to the inspiring nutrition and exercise plan--a simple, effective program developed to help shed weight and keep it off forever. You'll learn:

-- The fool-proof method for preparing your mind -- and your body -- before you diet
-- Thirty delicious foods that are the staples of the Mind Over Body eating plan
-- When to cheat -- without blowing your diet
-- How to get an effective workout in just 24 minutes a day
-- The 10 commandments of mindful strength training

Am I Hungry? What to Do When Diets Don't Work (Paperback) Review

I never really had any serious weight issues.But at one point in my life, as a short 5'4" guy, I hit the scale at 155 lbs. and thought that I was slowly digging my own grave with a spoon and fork.So, I started to read books about diets and nutrition; but with the plethora of diet programs and the apparent high incidence of failed dieters, I just decided to go on my own and follow a very simple rule: when eating, just listen to your stomach.Basically the rule translated to: eat when you are hungry, stop when you think you have consumed enough to last you for the next scheduled meal, eat only to the point that the stomach "does not stretch" so that it gets used to only being filled with less, and enjoy every bite like it's the last.There were times I broke my rules, and learned valuable lessons in the process, but in less than 4 months I dropped to 115 lbs.Not only that, I was shocked to find out how little food our body actually needs if we just consume food based on our physiological needs.Lots of my acquaintances have always asked me how I did it and how I have been able to maintain my weight for years.And to my increasing annoyance, until I found "Am I Hungry?" at Amazon, I have to lengthily explain and "defend" my eating habits.

This book has really made everything easy for me. Now, every time people ask me about tips on weight loss or dieting, I point them to this book. Everything, and a lot more, is explained in "Am I Hungry?"

This book is a real treasure.It is light reading but heavily loaded with wisdom.No smoke and mirrors. No cheering. Just lots of plain common sense.Basically, it teaches about total eating awareness.From the book's lessons, one re-learns the basic principle that eating correctly is about feeding the body in the most mindful way.And the right way to eat is to be satisfied for the right reasons.One realizes that the most reliable cues of when to eat this and/or that kind of food are not found in the bookstore or the popular opinions of a bestselling diet guru.It is within each of us.Eating right is about having the clearest communication with our body. It is about enjoying food, and not about being constrained by some diet prescriptions.Sensible eating requires no willpower at all, just plain consciousness.Above all, this book teaches eating skills.And from the skills, the student reigns supreme again in making a decision of what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, ... based on the right reasons why one has to eat in the first place.This book is highly recommended.

The Science of Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

I was interested in finding a book that presents the metrics relating diet, exercise and weight loss.Without knowing that this particular title existed, I essentially typed in the title "science weight loss" in a search.The book contains exactly what I was looking for, including basic physiology and how the body processes protiens, carbohydrates, fats and alcohols, and how excess calories are stored and used in the body.This information is presented in concise, easy to understand language which doesn't require any background in physical chemistry.The discussions about balancing calories in vs. out and the physical activity required to produce the deficits necessary to realize practical weight loss goals are the heart of the book.I was definitely surprized by these honest, well qualified, numbers and I believe that this information can be used by anyone in a practical manner to achieve personal results.Highly recommend.

Product Description:
Weight loss isn't brain science. But it's not as easy as some claim. This book doesn't claim to have a magical cure for how to lose weight. It will simply tell you how things work. This book focuses on what's really important: understanding how the body works. In the first chapters, I go through what happens in the body when you lose weight and how food is turned into calories which cause weight gain. Following from this, I take you through the process of burning calories, how to keep track of your weight and stay on track, as well as how to go about it, practically, to lose weight. As a young student, these are issues I had to deal with myself, and I found in the process that it was impossible for me to lose weight before I came to an understanding about how the body actually worked. Taking this as a starting point, I began to investigate this further and document my experiences and findings, eventually resulting in this book, which I hope that others will find equally useful.

Finally Thin!: How I Lost More Than 200 Pounds and Kept Them Off--and How You Can, Too [Hardcover] Review

I first heard of Kim Bensen on the Weight Watchers community message boards.She's marketed her own low calorie bagels and I was searching for her website for this information.I found much more than bagels. I've never met her in person, but I found that Kim is helpful and kind to those who email her.I found out about this book on her website and couldn't wait to read it...got it the first day it was avail and couldn't lay it down until I was finished.

Her book is brutally honest and I applaud her for speaking so frankly about her struggles with dieting and obesity.It's the kind of book that will inspire you to keeping going, or inspire you to get started on a life changing plan for eating if you're struggling or have given up.

At some points in the book I was in tears, and at others, laughing.Her story is heartbreaking but ends in a final triumph.Her favorite line seems to be "now it's your turn".She tries to inspire others to achieve the seemingly impossible. She lost 212 lbs, kept it off and is now a very successful Weight Watchers leader.

A VERY good book for anyone, but especially those of us who need to lose weight.I HIGHLY recommend it.Also, she includes recipes.A bonus to the book!

Product Description:

The ultimate companion to any diet-featuring ten steps that will give you the information and motivation to achieve your own success on any weight-loss plan.

Kim Bensen knows about weight loss. And weight gain. For decades, she tried every diet there was, but nothing seemed to work - for long anyway - and she yo-yoed her way to 350 pounds. But she never gave up and in 2001, despite years of heartbreak and discouragement, Kim tried again. This time was different and the results were phenomenal: 212 pounds lost forever, fourteen dress sizes, four ring sizes, one and a half shoe sizes, and 200 points of cholesterol gone for good! In the end, Kim not only changed her health and size, but also her career. The clamor of "How did you do it?" by desperately struggling individuals as well as the national media motivated her to sit down and pen into words what she had put into action.

In Finally Thin!, Kim Bensen recounts her own success story and then breaks down her success into a ten-step system, showing readers exactly how she accomplished her weight-loss goal. From choosing the right diet for your needs to setting realistic goals, finding support, eating out, recovering from a slipup, the keys to maintenance, and even 75 recipes, this book covers it all in an upbeat, inspirational, and approachable tone. A must-have for anyone trying to lose weight, Finally Thin! will help dieters break free of the yo-yo cycle and achieve their ultimate goal-once and for all.

Family Circle Eat What You Love & Lose: Quick and Easy Diet Recipes from Our Test Kitchen [Paperback] Review

I have had this book for 3 weeks now. I absolutely love this book! The diet plan and the story line for the 6 people who lost weight on this plan were great. But the one thing you will treasure this book for are those recipies! I have been using a similar eating plan on my own (3 meals and 2 snacks that equal about 1500 calories) but I was really struggling with great tasing dinners that didnt bump me over my calories allowed for dinner. I must admit that I primarily have used the dinner recipies, however I did enjoy every breakfast, lunch, and desert recipie I made as well. There are excellent versions of "comfort" foods, as well as new twists and alternative ways to prepare your standard 350 calorie meal or snacks. The ingredients are things that you can find in your local market as well. I havent eaten the same meal twice yet, although many are sure to be repeated.
The best compliment I can give to this book is that it is teaching me new recipies that I WANT to eat. I feel like Im noton a diet - but on to a new way of preparing and enjoying what I eat. I really recommend this book to any one interested in loosing weight. I have already lost 8 pounds and I feel like its really gone for good this time. This book is definitely for people who love to cook and want to learn how to do it in a way that is healthy and satisfying. It helped me to break out of my old cooking habits that were keeping my dinners way too fattening and my portion sizes way too big. You can use the diet plan in the book as a guide and tailor it to your life, what you like, and what works for you.
The only drawback was that alot of the recipies were for 6 servings so I did have to do a little math to scale it to my family. hehe But that wasnt a big price to pay when the result was a healthy and great tasting dinner that kept me on my target calories.

The Solution: For Safe, Healthy, and Permanent Weight Loss [Paperback] Review

This book received a positive review in a popular fitness magazine so I decided to check it out. It provides an approach that has allowed me to lose weight in a very personalized manner. It may not be for everyone since it is based on taking quiet time to getting to the heart of why you feel somehow compelled to eat when you aren't really hungry. This introspection takes many forms including writing, talking and thinking about your own deepest/toughest challenges in life.
I have lost 40 to 50 pounds several times in my life and am usually, in my head, on some sort restrictive diet that I seldom follow-through on. When I began this work I immediately lost 8 pounds and then stayed steady as I built up my ability to face things as they come. I have now started losing again in a way that is almost effortless because I am eating much more oftensimply because I am hungry or for the pleasure of something incredibly tasty but not because I am trying not to think about things that have made me uncomfortable/anxious during the day or in the past.
Before I bought this book I read the reviews here that said it was an expensive process but there is no organized support for this program in my area so my costs have not been that high.So far, I have spent around $200 for 6 months of materials ( journals, tapes, web site access) and one session of telephone coaching. It is worth it. I easily used to spend this much over a 6 month period on extra food.
The language used in the book can be a little off-putting ( e.g. the cures, tender morsels, hamburger sandwich) and the ideas are sometimes fairly complex, but if you are motivated and committed my own experience is that it really achieves results and helps provide a sense of balance in many aspects of daily life.

Beginning with an analysis of modern-day eating habits, the plan examines those food combinations, ingredients, and chemicals found in the standard American fare-white flour, sugar, and preservatives among them-which are typically at the root of indigestion and weight gain.Having exposed the culprits, the step-by-step guide identifies alternatives from each food category-including lots of fruits, veggies, and good fats-and offers time-saving recipes, streamlined preparation steps, and hints on what amount of food should be consumed and in what combinations in order to achieve and maintain good digestion.

The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom (Mass Market Paperback) Review

I think that based on the numerous one-star reviews I read those checking the postings may be confused. So, as a long-time past student (11 years) whose curriculum has been in medical studies and clinical nutrition, here are a few facts to make it easier on you.
1) Most dieticians I have encountered in my life have neither been thin, nor obese. However, they have been overweight. Well, 9/10. It is a fallacy to believe that just because you know something, you will apply it. I tell you, many cardiologists emphasize the need for any physical activity, yet fall short of carrying out their own advice, just like many MDs are not shying away from alcohol consumption, low fat foods, and smoking, which they all know is wrong. So, saying that Dr. Phil is overweight and that as a result, he should not be writing about weight loss strategies is plain ignorant. He is 6'4" and weighs 240lbs. Now, he is, indeed, overweight. Someone of his stature based on the dietetic currents 16 from Ross Labs in Columbus Ohio (reference used in clinical nutrition) is considered overweight.
2) The title of the book reads "ULTIMATE WEIGHT SOLUTION: THE 7 KEYS TO WEIGHT LOSS FREEDOM". It is NOT passed as a diet book. And though you may read on and see people's main critique that they have not learned nothing new does not mean that it is bad. We all know we should be eating less. We all know we should be more active. We all know that fat is not great (though necessary to some extent). The real question is to figure out whether we are actually applying that wise wisdom? Well, are YOU? If not, maybe you just find it hard to do it with your stressful life, your busy occupations, your family responsibilities. And that is where this book comes in, because it hands over strategies for you to incorporate those skills in your life. Now, note also that he does not mean to make you skinny or thin. He wants you to lose weight that you are suffering from, no more, no less!
3) Many claim that he is not an MD. And indeed, he's not! However psychology is the study of how the mind responds to certain stimuli. While an MD (psychiatrist) is focusing on physiological changes, Dr. Phil approaches from a psychosocial front claiming that by changing a few things in life, the emotions that lead you to eat less can be isolated and dealt with step by step.
4) about complaints that there is no weight loss plan, here is a newsflash! That is exactly what has made the USA as fat as it is. Lasting weight loss takes time and dedication. There is no ONE weight loss plan that fits all. Whoever tells you that is a fallacy. You may want to believe it because it is easier to deal with than to look at one's life and feel like a failure. Think about that too. You have to come up with your own needs based on your lifestyle, family life...
This being said, I don't deny that with some experience you can come to the same conclusions. However, I think that many people are stuck in a maze not knowing what to believe. This is information you can believe. It is important to eat less and encompass some physical activity. However, for the critic about the lack of physical activity that you may read in other postings, the person should have been a little more in tune with the fact that weight loss is the ultimate goal to prevent further cardiovascular diseases, diabetes diagnoses (type 2) skeletomuscular problems. Muscles weigh a lot. Dr. Phil's goal is to lose weight. Once you have got that one down, he tackles the physical activity. Remember, walking 5 times a week for 30 minutesallows you to lose 20 lbs without changing anything else in your diet. Now, I am sure it is not that hard to realize that a lot of people may be wondering where that 30 minute time frame is coming in. And that is where Dr. Phil comes in by showing you the strategies to allow such a routine to take place.

The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged!: Lasting Fat Loss That's Better than Ever! [Paperback] Review

I purchased the original _Eat-Clean Diet_ book when it came out a few years ago, and used the principles in it to lose sixteen pounds (two dress sizes).Recently, I've been a little more lax in my eating, so I purchased this book last week to help motivate me to get back on track with my eating for the new year.

Before purchasing this newer edition, I was worried that it would be very similar to the first version of the book, but, as Reno explains, it contains over 100 pages of new text.While there are some chapters that are similar in both books (like chapters on the importance of drinking water and eating breakfast), there are a lot of new ideas.If you are trying to decide whether to purchase the older, original edition of this book or this one, I would recommend buying this one since it contains more recent information about nutritional studies.If, like me, you already own the original book, I think you'll still find the ideas in here useful and inspirational.

I find Reno to be very motivating, and, if you're struggling to lose weight, you will probably find her books really helpful.The idea behind clean eating is that you eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, without adding in extra sugar, chemicals, etc.Eating six meals a day ensures that you never go hungry, and you don't have to worry about calorie counting.

Another great feature of this book is that she includes a vegan meal plan in it.The first edition was very centered around meat, which made it difficult for me (as a lacto-ovo vegetarian) to see how I could incorporate all of her suggestions since I wasn't about to gnaw on a chicken breast as my morning snack.

Reno also focuses much more in this edition on the environmental effects that our food choices have, citing Michael Pollan's work and the principles of films like _Food, Inc._.Since I am concerned with environmental issues, I really liked this new focus on eating locally and sustainably.

This book also contains 50 new recipes.I have not tried any of them yet, but will be sure to update my review after I have tried a few.The inclusion of quite a few vegetarian recipes is another nice feature.

I first discovered Reno in _Oxygen_ fitness magazine, where she is a monthly columnist, and last year was happy to see that Robert Kennedy Publishing (the group that publishes Reno's book and _Oxygen_) began a new magazine called _Clean Eating_.If you want even more seasonal, healthy recipes and nutrition tips, I definitely recommend subscribing to it.Just be warned, however, that it contains a lot of ads promoting Reno's books -- to an annoying degree.If you can look past those ads, it makes a nice addition to a clean-eating lifestyle.
UPDATE ON 3/1/10:I've made a few of the recipes, and all of them have turned out to be really good!In my original review, I accidentally said that the book has over 15 new recipes, but it actually has 50 new ones.If you have the original version of this, you definitely don't *need* this newer version, but the updates and success stories make it a nice addition to my collection of health books.
