Fit From Within : 101 Simple Secrets to Change Your Body and Your Life - Starting Today and Lasting Forever (Paperback) Review

Fit From Within : 101 Simple Secrets to Change Your Body and Your Life - Starting Today and Lasting ForeverFit from within is a must read for everyone trying to lose weight and keep it off. It is not a regular diet book; actually it is far from a diet book, as it tells you not to diet but to eat as a healthy person. There are no menus, recipes or success stories but there is plenty of good advice that will provide you with everything you need to know to change your body and your life. To let go of the diet mentality and start eating as a healthy person is an important message in this book. You do this by eating three meals a day while sitting down, eating good delicious food that you enjoy, in portions that will satisfy your hunger, and making water your beverage of choice. But remember healthy people do not stuff themselves with salty greasy fast food! The author guides you to realizing your spiritual self and surrendering your life to God to be able to come to grips with your life and your eating habits. Don't worry, no breaching here, but do give thanks before and after meals! Another focus of the book is on living a good quality life all the way and not postponing your life till you reach your target weight. Stay centered in today, wear clothes that you like in your current size, groom yourself like a racehorse, develop your mind and talents, laugh and play and get plenty of sleep. As for exercise, walk more, join a friendly gym or discover yoga, don't do too much too soon or it will backfire! Above all be patient, this has to be for the long haul. As the author puts it " If you want only a different body, and not a different way of life, you can't expect the body changes to last, because there will be nothing to sustain them. In other words, you can't just lose weight and go to business as usual without becoming overweight as usual. This has to be for the long haul."
Other recommended books for more details on eating and staying healthy for life are:
1.Eating well for optimum health by Dr. Andrew Weil
2.Fight Fat after Forty by Pamela Peeke
3.Volumetrics by Barbara Rolls and Robert Barnett

Weight Loss Salvation: How Real People Lose Weight and Keep It Off, and How You Will Too [Hardcover] Review

Weight Loss Salvation: How Real People Lose Weight and Keep It Off, and How You Will Too [Hardcover]I have been a follower of Stuart McRobert and his books on weight training and fitness for years now. His "underground" appeal and almost cult-like following of fitness enthusiasts gives him the traction necessary to blow the lid off what is the "great sham" of the modern fitness industry. I got an advanced copy of Weight-Loss Salvation and I was at first curious about his teaming up with Bradley Cailor, a virtual unknown in the health and weight-loss industry as Stuart usually prefers to fly solo. But the result is a successful collaboration between the obscure Cailor and the iconic McRobert, as the book is simply incredible. McRobert and Cailor give a virtuoso performance by presenting down to earth facts and narrating the real life drama of how people can "really" lose weight. It also reveals the tragic scams that companies use to play on people's vulnerabilities to get them to spend money on worthless programs, supplements, and what Cailor calls "Snake Oils." Not only will the reader find out how to really lose weight, the reader will also learn why the weight-loss industry is a multi-billion dollar business. You won't find photos of models, Hollywood stars, nor other near-perfect people who never had a weight problem professing his principles or lauding the benefits of the program. This is a real-life, real-world manual on weight loss. His principles are grounded in science and spoken by someone who has been there. Cailor has been obese, and has shed the weight, but not after first trying and failing with the myriad of scams and ill-informed programs out there. Find out how he finally did it by reading the book. I myself do not have a weight problem, but as a health enthusiast and fellow published writer, I couldn't resist the pull of this book and I learned many new things myself.

Product Description:
Did you ever wonder how people really lose weight and keep it off?
Co-author Bradley Cailor always did. From 30 years of yo-yo dieting Brad had regained over 600 pounds of fat, but he always wondered why his diets failed.
WEIGHT-LOSS SALVATION reveals what Brad learned from 30 years of experimenting with diet plans and pills, and from 25 years of researching weight-loss. His research included interviewing hundreds of successful, real-life dieters, and learning what worked for them.
Brad then applied what he had learned, shed 114 pounds of fat over one continuous stretch, and kept it all off. He then collaborated with Stuart McRobert the author of several books on exercise and health that are renowned for their sincerity, practicality, and trustworthiness. Together, Cailor and McRobert have written an extraordinary book on weight-loss.
You may want to lose just a few pounds, or perhaps you want to lose over 100 pounds. Once you apply this book s guidance you ll shed weight readily just like Brad and his hundreds of real-life dieters did.
For everyone who wants to lose weight regardless of age or gender the guidance in this inspirational book is complete, clear, practical, and effective. And it s comfortable and enjoyable to apply, and thus sustainable over the long-term to produce the required weight-loss and then keep it off.

I have been on almost every dietthat has been conceived.

As opposed to dieting I am now eatinga good deal of food that I truly enjoy but am cutting out as much fat aspossible. Of course my fat cells are rebelling and cause hunger to get meto eat.

SvelteLife: The New Weight Loss Reality (Paperback) Review

SvelteLife: The New Weight Loss RealityFinally something that makes sense!This book makes you realize that losing weight doesnt have to be a "die hard - change everything in your life" exercise. Just take it one day at a time, don't burn yourself out and you will be amazed at the weight that falls off.Coming from a person that has been 90 lbs overweight for the last 10 years, I always would go 150% when dieting anddrastically changing eating habits.I would lose, then eventually gain more than originally.UNTIL I read this book - I have lost 35 lbs in the last 3 mos and I havent felt like I have had to eat only healthy or kill myself at the gym.The 80/20 rule on food and exercise in this book makes so much sense.You eat healthy 80% but can play with the other 20% so you never feel deprived. Checking your "fuel Gauge" is a chapter that hits home.If you dont put it in your body, you don't need to take it out!This new way of looking at weight loss makes more sense than any of the many, many diet plans I have ever been on.It gives you the tools and it gives you a new way of looking at weight loss. IT WORKS!

Normal Eating for Normal Weight: The Path to Freedom from Weight Obsession and Food Cravings [Paperback] Review

Normal Eating for Normal Weight: The Path to Freedom from Weight Obsession and Food Cravings [Paperback]I just counted, and I currently have 43 books on this subject. No kidding! So what does this book offer that the others don't? I was pleased to discover several missing key points contained in this book. On my two years and eight months journey in reclaiming my inner-normal eater, I had become stuck. I thought I knew everything there was to know on this subject, but was surprised to find that I had several "aha" moments while reading this book. Some tools that are actually useable and useful in my everyday life: 1)a food log that is easy to use and one you record before, during and after eating, which has increased my awareness in the moment. 2)a wonderful tool called the Pause (this has been extremely powerful to me). 3)The idea that too much focus on losing weight will backfire and will actually get in the way of that goal. 4)understanding that this is a process with certain steps or stages that need to be experienced....it can't be rushed.

I could go on and on, but I think you should find out for yourself and read the book. Sheryl Canter writes in a very readable style. She has "been there" and her advice is very practical and sound. So far, I'm very pleased with the book and am also enjoying the rich resources in her forum. I consider it money well spent. I still have weight I would like to lose, so I will post another review later on this year if the information in this book helps me to achieve that.
