Stop It! [Hardcover] Review

Carole Lewis chose too narrow a title for her book when she christened it Stop It! Yes, it does offer a lot of good advice on how to control one's appetite, but not just for food; she also talks about other unhealthy appetites, such as pornography, excessive spending, overly emotional behavior, and alcoholism.

Based on a Bob Newhart comedy routine in which he, as a psychiatrist, has only one piece of advice for people who come to him for counseling ("Stop it! Stop doing bad behavior!"), this book is actually that blunt, that simple...and that logical. Lewis says that wishing for changes is silly. One must face the fact that change requires commitment, discipline, goal setting, and confidence. She advises her readers to recite the mantra of "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it some more!" every time they are prone to revert to negative behaviors. They must fight and resist bad habits by forming new behavior patterns. It won't come overnight, but it will come for those who work at it consistently.

Her chapters titles sound like motivational poster sayings, such as "Stop Surviving, Start Thriving" and "Stop Relapsing, Start Resisting." Nevertheless, each chapter offers two important elements for people trying to curb destructive actions: first, there usually is a story or anecdote about someone who was facing a problem, was brought low by it, but then learned how to break free of the bondage of that poor behavior; and second, there are specific actions steps and pieces of advice the reader can follow as a way of learning to control his or her own poor behavior. The chapters share stories of people in the Bible who made poor life decisions, such as King David, and what the negative results were. There are also insights shared by addiction counselors dealing with people facing 21st century challenges.

Carole Lewis is national director of First Place, a weight-loss organization, and her book does not hesitate from time to time to relate stories tied to that business or to give a promotional plug to some of its teachers and directors. I suppose that comes with the territory. But if you don't mind an occasional imbedded commercial, this book really does provide pragmatic, functional advice to Christians and non-Christians who are trying to cope with health issues, emotional traumas, or spiritual matters. -- Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, Christian Book Previews.com

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.

Denise's Daily Dozen: The Easy, Every Day Program to Lose Up to 12 Pounds in 2 Weeks [Paperback] Review

Top notch in the workout category!I am overjoyed with the easiness and the effectiveness of this plan!

Denise's Daily Dozen is not about donuts.When I opened this book the first sentence was a no holes barred approach:

Do you want to boost your metabolism, burn fat, tone up, and get into the best shape of your life?

Uhhh.... YEAH!

So what is Denise's book about?

From Denise Austin comes the perfect health book for anyone who wants to live better but just can't seem to find the time. Much more than just another exercise book, Denise's Daily Dozen covers a whole range of health and diet related concepts yet manages it all in a no-stress, time-conscious program of 12's. At it's core, this book has the minimum daily requirements to keep the reader flexible, strong and trim. Organized simply into seven chapters, which equal the seven days of the week, it covers a full week in daily allotments. Each day will have it's own focus from Monday being "fat burning day" to Sunday's "recharge and rejuvenate."

Denise has created a total body program, including a 7-day balanced meal plan that includes healthy recipes, and a workout that encompasses 12 exercises done in 12 minutes each day. Everyone can take just 12 minutes, at whatever time of the day works for them, and turn it over to these simple and fun exercises. Cardio, toning, yoga and breathing exercises...they're all here but in a way the maximizes effect while minimizing time.

Beyond a dozen exercises for each day of the week this book will include many other of Denise's dozens for each day.

I loved the layout of this book.For someone like me who tries really hard to be a whiz at time management and at the same time can be the Queen of procrastination.... this book is spot on.

What Denise is encouraging through this book is that in twelve minutes a day, you can complete her well balanced program that covers cardiovascular exercise, toning, and flexibility.And what I really like - is that each days twelve minute routine is different from the day before!

Monday:Cardio Fat Blast

Tuesday:Lower Body and Ab Workout

Wednesday:cardio kickbox workout

Thursday:Upper body and ab workout

Friday:Body Boot Camp Workout

Saturday: Athletic Kettlebell - inspired workout

Sunday:Yoga Stretch workoutDenise's book not only gives you practical tips for doing toning and working out anytime anywhere, (I love the squats while waiting for the toaster to pop up!)she also lays out many pages of nutrition facts as well as menu planning and day by day food choices to get you started.

I can't say enough positive things about this book.You don't need gym equipment or any fancy programs... you just need you and the will to get moving in a different direction.HIGHLY recommended from someone who has read many books on this topic and I have to say this is one of the best I have seen.

Each workout hasrecommended stretches, strength training exercises, and aerobic exercises(with a number of different options presented, depending on what you enjoydoing).The instructions are clear, and the increases in difficultygradual enough that I actually began to enjoy working out, rather thandreading it.
Everything is designed so that a minimum of equipment isrequired even at the most advanced levels: a weight bench, a few basicweights, and decent shoes for your aerobic workout of choice are about allit takes.This is the best book of its kind, in my opinion: it is apractical and reasonable guide to getting in shape for those of us who havelives that otherwise don't include exercise.
