Eat Fat, Lose Fat: Lose Weight and Feel Great with Three Delicious, Science-Based Coconut Diets [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

I wish everyone who still fears eating fat because they think it will somehow make them fat, clog their arteries and harm their health in any way would read this classic book by Dr. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon from the Weston A. Price Foundation. It is the definitive book on high-fat eating for health that arms you with the science behind why vegetables oils are killing you and saturated fats like butter and coconut oil are actually extremely healthy.

Eat Fat Lose Fat focuses primarily on coconut fats in combination with other fat sources to provide the maximum health benefits. Tons of research, real-life recipes, and recovery from years of unhealthy high-carb, low-fat eating are the highlight of this definitive book on eating fat for weight loss and better healthy than you ever thought possible.

Product Description:
The healthy alternative to trans fats, this revolutionary program explains why we must eat healthy, saturated fats-especially coconut-to achieve weight loss and good health.

Since the late 1950s, it's been drilled into Americans that fat makes you fat, saturated fats (such as those found in butter, eggs, and red meat) are unhealthy, and tropical fats and oils (like coconut and palm) are downright deadly. And yet-as we eliminate saturated fats from our diet for fear of high cholesterol levels and hardened arteries-obesity, heart disease, and cancer rates have continued to climb.

Based on more than two decades of research by world-renowned biochemist and fats expert Dr. Mary Enig, Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by asserting that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as soybean and corn) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crises, while the saturated fats traditionally considered "harmful" are, in fact, essential to weight loss and health.

World populations on four continents that subsist on the coconut, with less evidence of heart disease, weight gain, or other chronic illnesses, provide the best proof of this food's safety and efficacy; dozens of studies conducted by prestigious, mainstream universities support the use of coconut and other healthy fats and reveal the faulty reasoning underlying the saturated fat/heart disease hypothesis; and case stories from a wide range of people illustrate how using coconut oil in concert with other healthy fats can spark weight loss and heal serious illnesses, including anxiety, hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Featuring delicious recipes for each of its three nutritional programs, Eat Fat, Lose Fat is the book to help you build energy, lose weight, fight disease, and boost your immunity.

The Healing Patch Cookbook (Spiral-bound) Review

Ever find yourself backtracking book aisles, lost in an assortment of titles and topics you aren't sure what to choose from? Maybe your mission is HEALTH so you hit up the nutrition section.

I bought this book for my Mother as a gift since she is slowly transitioning to a vegan dietary lifestyle. She loves the recipes because they are quick and easy unlike some raw recipes that require half your day (and half your pocket book as well due to numerous expensive equipment to assist). There are also special little juicy morsels aka educational tidbits throughout the book which helps the reader learn more about the healing properties of whole foods, etc. It's compact enough to comfortably fit your kitchen counter and beautifully designed to brighten up any room! The cover alone will remind you how important fruits and vegetables are and encourage you to eat more of them. Kids will love it too. Now the whole family can get their fruits and veggies ON!!!

Let it be for you too, The Healing Patch Cookbook will guide you along your journey.

Slim Forever - The French Way (Paperback) Review

I've gotten other Montignac books, like The French Diet, and it's really nice to get some more recipes in this newest book. He seems to alter his presentation of the diet with each new book. Now the phases of the diet have different names. But the actual plan seems to be the same, so anyone that has picked up the The French Diet will be familiar with what's in here.

Mostly I got this book for the recipes to use with Somersizing. I think most of the ones in here will be Level 2 for Somersizers, but they are pretty tasty looking! I can't wait until I get to make use of them!

The only thing that would be better would be if Montignac would collect all of his recipes from all of his books and put out just a cookbook.

Product Description:
From Hollywood to South Beach, the latest craze in the diet world is low-carbohydrate, high-protein meals. However, until now, low-carb cookbooks have been decidedly lowbrow, more concerned with prepared ingredients and overly simplistic recipes than with flavor or presentation. In THE LOW-CARB GOURMET, Brigit Binns proves that it's possible to follow a low-carb regime and still eat well-in fact, exceedingly well. With 70 recipes for sophisticated yet approachable dishes like Gratin-Style Spinach and Aged-White Cheddar Souffle, Hazelnut-Crusted Freshwater Trout with Preserved Lemon Relish, and Star Anise Flan with Blackberries, THE LOW-CARB GOURMET takes low-carb eating beyond the hamburger sans bun and explains how to maintain a healthy, gourmet lifestyle that will leave you looking and feeling great. Complex enough to impress foodies and discerning guests yet simple enough for everyday family meals at home, THE LOW-CARB GOURMET raises the concept of "diet food" to new culinary heights.

The Sonoma Diet: Trimmer Waist, Better Health in Just 10 Days! [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

The concept of the Sonoma Diet is not new; Dr. Gutterson acknowledges her debt to the Mediterranean Diet early in the book.What is new, however, is the emphasis on portion control, handily taught through pull-out diagrams of plates and percentages for each type of food.And the recipes emphasize not only healthy eating but full flavor as well.

So why buy this book?

First:The food is terrific.The recipes alone are worth the price of the book.I have rarely had a cookbook that had such consistently fine results.I've cooked exclusively from the Sonoma Diet for the past six weeks and have not yet had a failed or unsuccessful recipe.I would not hesitate to serve this food to company.In fact, I already have, several time. People always ask me for the recipes I've used.Needless to say, they are very surprised when I pull out a "diet" book to show them the recipe!

Second: this is a healthy eating plan.This is the diet all of us should strive to follow.With its emphasis on whole grains, lean protean, vegetables, fruit, and nuts, in appropriate portions, the Sonoma Diet is a blueprint for lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and better health.

Third:Does it work?Certainly, if you follow the recommended portions and daily food intake.I started the diet with about 20 pounds to lose; thus, my weight loss on any diet is slower than for people who have much more weight to lose.In six weeks, I've lost 10 pounds.While this might not sound very impressive, I have lost this weight while not feeling deprived, while eating great food daily, and even having a glass of wine with dinner every night and a small piece of chocolate most evenings!In addition, I have lost 15 inches (5 from my waist alone) and two sizes.This is by far the most effective eating plan I've ever tried, simply because it has so quickly become a way of life.My husband, who does not need to lose an ounce, loves the food as well.

Fourth:Please note that this diet focuses on fresh, whole food, freshly prepared.If you want to eat protein bars and shakes, THIS IS NOT YOUR DIET.If you want convenience food and diet pop, THIS IS NOT YOUR DIET.If you don't want to spend some time in the kitchen, if the thought of grocery shopping makes you ill, if you don't want to slow down for at least one meal a day, you probably ought to look elsewhere!This diet requires planning and food preparation.If you don't know how to cook already, then be prepared to learn.

Fifth:This is not a crash diet or a miracle diet.This is a whole life eating plan.After six weeks, I feel healthy, energetic, and satisfied.I see no reason why I won't continue to lose weight at 1 to 1.5 pounds a week--exactly the rate nutrionists tell us is healthy and sustainable--until I reach my goal.
