Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Revised Edition [Hardcover] Review

As a health practitioner and a patient of Dr. Atkins' since 1974, I've been aware of the controversy surrounding Dr. Atkins for a long time.I was a 12-year-old with a 350 cholesterol, who was well on his way to beinga 14 or 15-year-old dead from a heart attack.Dr. Atkins put me on thatoh-so-maligned diet of his, and in three months of no-sugar/no-carbs,high-fat/high-protein, my cholesterol dropped from 350 to 210.I've yet,in all the years since, to see another diet, or a drug for that matter,that can claim the same results.I've also never seen someone who hashelped so many people go through such a sustained assault from the medicalmainstream and the media.This extraordinary book not only updates thework he's been doing for the past 30 years; it cites extensive researchthat backs up his positions.(One of the ongoing attacks, for years, wasthat he based his conclusions solely on his 35,000 + patients, and nevercited actual clinical studies.)
One of the most compelling parts of thebook is the section on heart health/cholesterol--one of the topics forwhich he has consistently taken the most heat.He shows dramatically howmuch of the mainstream theory is being disproven by more and more studies:fat is not the enemy; sugar and high carbs (especially refined carbs) aremore dangerous by far.
The other major gripe I have with the receptionof this book is the assumption that the extreme low-carb approach is whatDr. Atkins advocates for everybody.Read more carefully, folks: that's theWEIGHT LOSS program.Once your weight is where you want it, you begin toeat more whole grain complex carbs and fruit (brown rice, millet, and thelike, as opposed to refined carbs such as pastas and breads, andconcentrated sugars such as fruit juices, honey, etc.) to halt the weightloss process.The book explains this very clearly.
One of the otherconsistent things I hear is the danger of consuming so much animal productsgiven the horrible amounts of toxic chemicals pumped into commerciallyraised livestock (growth hormones, antibiotics, etc.)Again, read morecarefully: at least 15 years ago, Dr. Atkins was among the first voices inthis country to advocate ORGANIC meat and poultry--back when such a thingwas largely unheard of.Yes, it's a bit more expensive, and in some areasharder to find; but isn't your health worth it?
Will Dr. Atkins everadvise you to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's once a week?Not likely.Butthe powers that be have put on their blinders, and cite only the parts ofAtkins' philosophy that suit their own intransigent purposes.Meanwhile aweek doesn't go by when several clients come through my door and tell me,unsolicited, how since they've come off the high-carb/low-fat approach andincorporated more protein into their diets, they're feeling like humanbeings again for the first time in years.... more energy, greater mentalclarity, better emotional stability/less depression, and long-term achesand pains beginning to disappear.Think for yourselves; experiment, andlisten to your own bodies!
Read this book with an open heart and learn.

The New Low Carb Way of Life: A Lifetime Program to Lose Weight and Radically Lower Cholesterol While Still Eating the Foods You Love, Including Chocolate (Hardcover) Review

It isn't a diet, it is a way of life that makes sense and works! My Italian pasta/bagle loving husband and I, a chocoholic,and mother of five, were worried about midlife pounds, lack of energy and family genetics of diabetes.Dr. Thompson's book made so much sense that we tried it.We have each lost 30 pounds(he looks yummy again!), have more energy, have gotten back to our walking regiment and are still enjoying eating. We have fun discovering better ways to order from menus, are amazed the "punch" a few cherries or pistachio nuts can have and I can still eat chocolate! This book gave us back control of our bodies and our lives!

100 Best Weight-Loss Tips (Hardcover) Review

Diet, nutrition, and exercise expert Fred Stutman, M.D. presents 100 Best Weight-Loss Tips, a compendium that distills vital information to bite-sized bits for anyone striving to reach and maintain a healthy weight. From warning against common myths such as "Running and strenuous aerobic exercies are the best way to lose weight" (in fact, walking andmoderate exercises burn fat during the first two-thirds of the workout, while strenuous exercises burn carbohydrates during the first two-thrids of the workout and fat during the last one-third), to the severe health dangers of low-carb diets, to why one should weigh oneself weekly instead of daily (there is often a "plateu" period where weight gain levels off - and it's unwise to trigger either the urge to celebrate with daily decreases, or the depressive tendency to give up if one's weight doesn't immediately decrease). A highly recommended, practical, straight-facts health guide for all Americans.

The Spectrum: A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight, and Gain Health [Paperback] Review

I've been following Dr. Dean Ornish's work for many years.His books have helped transform my life for the better.

What I especially love about this book (which I think is his best by far) is that it provides a full spectrum of diet and lifestyle choices that are grounded in science (much of which he and his associates have conducted themselves and published in leading medical journals) yet it's easy to understand and fun to read.

Having been on and off many diets over the years, I like his "spectrum" approach because it doesn't tell me what to eat and do.Instead, it provides a range of choices that allow me to decide what's best for me.It treats the reader with intelligence, which I find empowering and motivating.

One of the main points of this book is that pleasure and joy are sustainable, not fear and guilt, and the recipes in this book (by Art Smith) really reflect that.Works for me!

Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories (Paperback) Review

This is a seriously good guide for eating fewer calories. I am on to this idea of staying out of restaurants somewhat and mainly eating at home whenever possible. However, I now have the tools with this book to prepare good, delicious foods that aren't going to make me gain weight, but, in acutality, will help me to lose weight, which is the point of all of this. I have to say that I loved the layout of this book and it read so easily. The recipes weren't too complicated and it's just a fun way to lose the pounds. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make the commitment to cook at home and lose the weight that way. Another I liked and helped too was Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting. I guess it's just in how you want to approach the diet. Either way, you're sure to lose some weight if you stick to the plan.
