Let's Do Lunch: Eating all the Calories and Carbs you want to lose weight! (Hardcover) Review

As someone who has lost over 180 pounds naturally through diet and exercise, I have grown to love and admire anyone else who has been able to do the same for themselves.

That's why I was so anxious to read Roger Troy Wilson's story about losing an unbelievable 230 pounds in his new book called Let's Do Lunch. As a low-carb weight loss success story myself, I just HAD to know how he lost his weight and kept it off for many years now.

Well, what I discovered was the most peculiar and unique "diet" plan I think I have ever seen in my life. It's definitely NOT low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, or portion-controlled. None of those ever worked for him no matter how hard he tried to lose weight on them. I don't know where Wilson came up with this way of eating, but it helped him shed the pounds and keep it off. Anything that can help you do that is worth taking a look at.

In Let's Do Lunch, Wilson not only shares his story about ballooning up to a "5-foot waist" (my waist got as big as 5'2"!), but also the many letters of thanks he has received from those who have enjoyed his special program. The enthusiasm these people have after losing weight is contagious and makes you want to know how the Let's Do Lunch plan works.

As a very successful businessman, Wilson knew he had a problem with obesity but ignored it for many years. As many of us former 400+ pounders will attest, the rollercoaster ride of lose, gain, lose, gain was ruthless. Trying time after time to find that one way of eating that will sustain us for the rest of our lives was challenging and draining. Surely there had to be a better way to control your weight?!

For Wilson, there was. And actually he can thank his son for getting him started on the greatest achievement of his life. When they say the old phrase "out of the mouth of babes," it was definitely true for Wilson.

His son had put some grapes in the freezer to have as a refreshing and delicious treat later in the day. But when Wilson found the grapes in the freezer, he immediately thought they were ruined and started blaming everyone for it. He went to his wife first, but she said she didn't do it. So then he calls his son and I'm sure he responded something along the lines of, "Chill out, Dad, it's cool. You've never tasted grapes this good before!"

And so Wilson tried one of these frozen fruits and was just amazed by how incredibly delicious they were. So he kept eating and eating them. He did the same thing the next night and the next night beginning a pattern that eventually led to the basis for the Let's Do Lunch program that helped him shed those pounds.

While Wilson makes it clear this is not a fruit diet, fruits of all kinds are highly encouraged to eat in the quantities of your choice. Besides the fruit, most of the rest of the Let's Do Lunch plan is fairly close to livin' la vida low-carb -- eliminate sugar, starches, and unnecessary carbs and consume more protein for satiety. As for the high sugar content in all of that fruit he endorses, Wilson said he doesn't think that sugar is fattening although the sugar found in candy bars and sweets is fattening. Hmmmm.

I chuckled when I read about how the "thin" version of Wilson is getting so much attention these days because I can personally relate to that experience. You life really does change after losing such a dramatic amount of weight. But I am envious of Roger Troy Wilson. He got his tummy tuck after losing weight and is so happy with it. This is a struggle for so many of us who have lost weight, but now have the hanging skin to look at every single day. Someday it will happen, someday. Wilson said it has made all the difference in the world how he sees himself when he looks in the mirror.

In a nutshell, the Let's Do Lunch weight loss plan calls for four things: eat fruit, make lunch your priority meal of the day, eat less fattening foods that you enjoy, and have corn, beans, and peas instead of bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. That's it. Do those things and you are well on your way to losing weight the way Wilson did it.

Of course, you will want to read Let's Do Lunch to get a better understanding of the who, what, where, why, when, how of this new way of eating. His "Helpful Tips" chapter answers all of those nagging questions you may be having about dieting in general and how Let's Do Lunch works to melt away the fat from your body. You'll have to turn to page 55 to see how often you should weigh yourself. It's not what you think.

Wilson also helps you deal with the inevitable cravings you will experience, what to do when you feel the desire to cheat, how to order when you eat out at a fast-food or sit-down restaurant.

But I know you are wondering about that little word known as exercise. Am I gonna have to sweat myself to death on this diet? In a word, nope! Wilson said exercise is not required on his program, but it will most certainly enhance the weight loss and health benefits you will enjoy if you do. Your body will also become more toned, energetic, and active. When you shed over 100 pounds off of your body, you cannot help but start moving faster and faster in every activity that you do. I am more active today than I have ever been in my entire life. And I'm sure Wilson is as well.

There is a structured 14-day eating plan for people who need to be told how to eat. Follow it strictly if you need guidance about doing the Let's Do Lunch plan. Wilson even provides a handy grocery shopping list about what you can and cannot buy to eat on his program. And in case you were wondering, what would a book about weight loss be without throwing in a few favorite recipes at the back of the book?

Wilson has made the Let's Do Lunch so user-friendly that you won't have any trouble reading it from cover to cover in one sitting. What an amazing story of weight loss triumph and success Wilson has to share. While my path to becoming skinny was very different from his, I have great respect and admiration for anyone who can get their obesity under control for good.

Won't you be the next Roger Troy Wilson to change your life forever? If so, then Let's Do Lunch.

Lose the Lies, Lose the Weight: The Ultimate Guide to Permanent Weight Loss (Hardcover) Review

For people, especially women, who have dealt with a weight problem for most of their lives, giving people like Laurie Bell "the look" as she refers to it in her book doesn't bother her in the least bit. You know you do it and your mind instantly moves from admiration to jealousy because you believe that you could never look as fit and trim as she does.

While most people would look at Laurie Bell today and think, "She's so lucky because she was born to be physically fit," little do they know just how wrong they are about this former junk food junkie turned health-conscious woman. That's the underlying message she conveys in her book, Lose The Lies, Lose The Weight.

Let me warn you about this book! It is not for those who are afraid to hear the truth unmasked from any use of psychological innuendo and "feel-good" euphemisms to sugarcoat the hard message that you need to hear about losing weight. In fact, Bell is unabashed in her convictions about what is causing people to gain weight at such epidemic proportions and refuses to simply appease you with what you want to hear. If that's what you are looking for in this book, then you might want to find another book to read instead.

But Lose The Lies, Lose The Weight tells it to you in a direct and authoritative manner that will keep you turning the pages of this book like you would a riveting, plot-thickening mystery novel. Bell obviously cares about the people who are reading her book so much that she is unwilling to lead them astray on their pathway to better health. You should appreciate any author who is willing to tell it like it is!

Because I was able to lose nearly 200 pounds by implementing some basic lifestyle changes in my life, I was extremely interested in reading what Bell had to say about the subject of weight loss. To my delight, she did not disappoint me.

As I have personally said many times to people, weight loss doesn't begin with a "diet" program or attaining the mysterious willpower to suddenly resist poor food choices. Instead, it begins in the mind where we often lie to ourselves about why we are fat. We make up excuses to ourselves, such as "I'm happy with the way I look" or "I can't give up my sweets." I have three words for this kind of thinking -- LIE LIE LIE! We tell ourselves these lies because we just don't want to change. Bell discusses 10 of these "Destructive Lies You Tell Yourself" in Part I of Lose The Lies, Lose The Weight.

In Part II, she moves from the lies you tell yourself to the "Manipulative Lies Others Tell You." Ooooh, this is a touchy subject as well. I know first-hand how other people will do anything and everything they can to sabotage your weight loss efforts. Some don't mean to do it, but many others do because they want to feel better about themselves. It's a cruel and ironic world we live in, but Bell shows you six lies that you will need to be aware of that will come from others.

The section called "Nutrition Lies" in Part III takes a look at the various ways of eating and how the lies about them can contribute to your being overweight or obese. Since I lost weight on the low-carb lifestyle, I was especially interested in Bell's comments about carbohydrates. While she does not believe in eating zero carbs (and neither do I), instead she promotes that there are certain healthy complex carbs that should be eaten in sufficient amounts for stronger muscles and increased energy.

She also promotes the consumption of high-fiber foods (something virtually every low-carber supports) and avoiding sugars, especially the hidden ones that often end up in most foods that people are simply unaware of. Bell shares a story about how deceptive these marketing tactics can be and, like me, encourages you to scour food labels for any trace of unnecessary sugars. Be sure to read Bell's tips about how to quit sugar for good.

Next, in Part IV of Lose The Lies, Lose The Weight, Bell addresses the "Exercise Lies" that prevent most people from beginning a regular workout routine. Continuing with her in-your-face writing style, she refuses to back down from her belief that people make time for what is important to them and shouldn't make useless excuses get in the way of their deepest desires and needs. If you want to lose weight and get fit, then you will start exercising -- NOW!

Finally, "Getting Fit" in Part V provides practical advice and instruction on how to implement a workout routine into your life. Bell even shows you pictures of the resistance training exercises she has used to become the fitness bombshell that she is today. She didn't get those muscles overnight, but by taking it day-by-day to invest in her health and future to live a long life for those two beautiful girls of hers on the back cover of the book.

What an inspiring story Bell should be for anyone who thinks, "I could never look like her!" Stop lying to yourself and let her success push you to look even better than she does. Bell believes anyone can make this happen! Regardless of which weight loss eating plan you have chosen, there is something in Lose The Lies, Lose The Weight that will help you make this lifestyle change permanent.

The Bonus Years Diet: 7 Miracle Foods Including Chocolate, Red Wine, and Nuts That Can Add 6.4 Yearson Average to Your Life [Bargain Price] [Hardcover] Review

Overall this book is a wonderful picture of how one should eat. My family and I are pretty healthy eaters already but I just had my third baby and trying to loose the last few pounds. So after I saw this book in the O magazine I picked it up and loved it. I can't put it down. The recipes are so yummy. My husband loves garlic so this fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. The only thing that I would comment on is, for being a pretty new book, it sure is not up to date on the correct serving for fruits and vegetables. Back in 2004 they uped the recommended servings from 5-10 to 7-13. Big difference. I mean if you aren't eating your fruits and veggies already then going from none to 5 is a great start. But for those of us who already are eating the recommended servings this was kind of sad that that's all that the book recommended. But I still love the book and would recommend it to anyone just ad that major key factor.
