How the Rich Get Thin: Park Avenue's Top Diet Doctor Reveals the Secrets to Losing Weight and Feeling Great [Bargain Price] (Paperback) Review

Jana Klauer an MD specializing in weight control with a private practise in the ritzy Park Avenue area of New York has penned a weight loss book describing how she helps her rich patients lose weight. She describes her diet as "the key to how successful, rich and busy modern men and women get it off and keep it off."

The title to the book sounded a bit gimmicky so I was surprised as I read the book to read alot of solid information. She stresses the importance of daily exercise, how protein can help suppress appetite, why calcium can increase your metabolism, how prescription drugs can cause weight gain and more. There is a lot of good information in this book andDr. Klauer spells it out; weightloss takes effort and determination. She also includes a simple method to help with cravings that can really come in handy. (Set a stopwatch for 15 minutes, drink water, eat protein to normalize your blood sugar and wait it out.)

But despite the excellent information Klauer shares, the bottomline is "How The Rich Get Thin" is a high protein, low carb diet that will be very difficult to stay on. There are two phases. Phase 1 is the "Get It Done Phase". You follow this phase till you are within 5 pounds of your goal weight. Typical day: Breakfast: 2 omega 3 eggs with 1 ounce of low fat cheese and 1/2 cup of berries, coffee or tea. Midmorning: A cup of green tea. Lunch: A large mesclun salad with 4 grilled shrimp and lemon juice, tea, water. Afternoon snack: Caprese Salad, water, green tea. Dinner: Mixed green salad with 2oz Parmesan cheese and lemon juice, 4-5 oz red snapper, steamed asparagus, yogurt with cinnamon for desert. Phase 2 maintenance adds in some carbs but not many.
Not a lot of food. And you are also expected to exercise for 1 hour each day. My guess is anyone who can follow this plan is either already thin or will likely regain any weight they lose from following it. It's simply too restrictive.

Dr. Klauer intersperses her text with little quips and Park Avenue tales..these range from interesting to pretty silly.
For example she tells how embarrased one of her patients, Amber, was when she told her date to order dinner for her and then left to use the restroom when he ordered. When she returned she complimented him on his choice of the salmon only to be told it was not salmon but was a very rare, expensive wild Arctic char fish. "Amber was mortified and for the rest of the evening said very little to avoid making any other faux pas". Seems to me that a grown women who is "mortified" by mistaking one fish for another needs a little head examination..not a weight loss doctor.
Dr.Klauer also suggests you reach for the very fine quality food items and avoid processed foods. I am fine with this but as an example she would have you reach for the "20 gram presentation of Caviar Tsar Imperial Beluga" instead of the lumpfish from a tin. When I took a peek at prices for the Imperial Beluga..well lets just say that at $175 for a 50gram serving, most of us will be sticking with Chicken of the Sea tuna.

Dr. Klauer makes the case for avoiding processed foods and also encourages you to add more calcium to your diet. She says many of her patients enjoy Viactiv calcium chews. Main ingredient in the chews, corn syrup. Second ingredient, high fructose corn syrup. Not a good choice for one avoiding faux foods.

The 268 page book includes recipes such as Lauren's Marinated Tuna, Black Soybean Salsa with Cod, Greek Lamb Meatballs with Yogurt Tahini Salad, Baked Pears with Walnuts and Figs and Yogurt Cheesecake. Her preference would be you use organic eggs, fresh herbs and spices and and whole wheat flour when called for. It should be noted that splenda is used instead of sugar in the recipes.

The back of the book lists resources including mercury levels in fish, also restaurants and shops in New York where you can purchase high quality foods and there is reference section.

Bottomline..good overall information but unreasonably strict diet for the short or long haul no matter how much money you have.

The MindBody FX Lifestyle: Mastering The Mind-Body Connection For Permanent Weight Loss [Paperback] Review

I have tried many diets and programs to lose weight. Many books mention that reducing your calorie intake will reduce your weight. It is not that easy. I have been struggling with my weight all my life and I realize that there is no magic solution. I have found that how you view yourself makes a big difference. The ... discusses how your thoughts and feelings can affect your weight loss. The book says that we have a tendency to be in denial when it comes to weight loss. The book discusses the levels of denial, and how we can overcome it. The book covers topics such as braking habits, overcoming emotional eating, positive thinking and creating new habits. Included in the book is a nutrition plan that is explained in detail and easy to follow. While following the guidelines mentioned in the book will not only increase your self-esteem but will help to change your lifestyle and make you healthier. When your self-esteem improves your whole life will be better. This is a great book.(reviewed by Eileen, Melissa's Mom)

Size 2 for Life: The Rational, Frame-adjusted Approach to Weight Loss for Women. (Perfect Paperback) Review

I'm familiar with Ashley Marriott from her DVD series and appearances on Fit TV so it doesn't surprise me at all that she'd come out with a book that is both entertaining and informative.

The book starts out by going straight for the jugular of the "plus size acceptance mentality" that the authors feel is dangerous and then on to challenge, quite endearingly, some of the popular myths ascribed to size 2 (i.e. athletically thin and healthy) women.From there Ashley proceeds to trashing many of the whacky "Celebrity Diets" that we all hear so much about in the popular media.But, after that, it's all business as she lays down the plan for transforming your shape the right way.

Included in the book are simple ways to measure your current status, programs designed for one's individual level of fitness, a realistic and doable aerobic program that can be tailored to your own circumstances, a complete toning and strengthening program and even an express core and tone routine for those days when you're a bit pressed for time.Throw in a 21-day quick start diet and exercise plan and you're well on your way.I also found the addition of quotes from ordinary people about how they're able to maintain their own healthy size 2/4 figures to be a very nice touch and inspiring.All-in-all, a great program from a person with a whole lot of experience helping women really get the job done.
