The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Take Charge) [Paperback] Review

If you want the correct information about leptin, this is the book you will want to read. Byron Richards is a clinical nutritionist and the only author writing about leptin that will give you the correct information; the only author that will tell you the truth. It is easy to read and the science is represented in a format that is easily understood. What you learn will turn conventional thought on its ear. Other than the new science about the discovery (in 1996), importance and function of leptin, most of the nutritional science explained has been known for decades. Richards explains it in a way your biology teacher never could. Even doctors that know this science have fallen prey to the pervasive myths about diet in this country and are not giving patients correct information to change weight and improve health. My practitioner hadn't even heard of leptin and it is one of the biggest discoveries ever, in human biology.

I purchased all three of the books on Amazon dealing with leptin. (see my other reviews) The Leptin Diet is the only book that tells you the truth about the ever important issue of snacking. Richards is incredibly thorough in explaining what happens when your body is digesting the food you just ate and how snacking disrupts that crucial process leading to leptin resistance, insulin resistance and obesity. Eating according to Byron Richards' 5 Rules will restore the natural function of your hormones (particularly leptin and insulin)and is the only way to take weight off and keep it off. Don't be mislead by the title. This actually isn't a diet as we are all used to interpreting that word, but is actually the way all humans ought to be eating. I've tried many diets (the reason my leptin was out of whack) including Weight Watchers. I always lost weight but had cravings for sweets and carbs while dieting that continually derailed the effort and made it especially hard to keep off the pounds lost. Richards explains why this happens with dieting and why, when you lose weight following the 5 Rules, your body is forever rid of cravings and your weight will stablize for life. Following the 5 Rules is an easy way to eat: three meals a day, no snacking, and not eating after dinner are three of the rules that turn people off right away. I know what you're thinking as you read this---I can't do that, I need my snacks to get me through the day and at night to help me sleep. My reaction was the same and I argued with a friend recommending this book why it was necessary to eat every 3 hours which is what we've all been taught since the late 70's. When my friend told me about the 5 Rules, one being to allow 5-6 hours between meals, I knew, immediately, I could not do it. Well, I proved myself wrong.

After the first 2 days, I could easily go 5 hours between meals and be satisfied. I now eat 3 meals a day eating whatever I like with the correct portions of protein and complex carbs. Remember when Americans used to eat like this? I'm 50 years old and when I was a kid we ate this way, running outside to play between meals. Our bodies were doing the work of digestion and calorie burning while we went about the business of living. I no longer snack between meals nor do I need a snack at night. In fact, the problem I have had with insomnia since college is gone. I had very little energy to get through a single day before reading this book. Now, I have more energy than I know what to do with, I no longer crave sugar and simple carbohydrates, I no longer need a nap every afternoon, and I am losing weight every day. The changes have been pretty dramatic for my friends, as well. If someone told me a few months ago that I would drink my coffee without sweetner or turn down dessert because it sounded too sweet, I would have told them flat out that they, obviously, didn't know anything about me. I think the biggest example of change that says it all for me was the day I realized that the chocolate bar on the kitchen counter had been there for a week without me really paying attention to it. The changes sneak up on you just like that as your body enjoys the changes you have made.

I predict The Leptin Diet will become the revelation this culture needs to face up the fact that we are not being given correct information from our government or the media. Snack food companies have a lot to lose if we all stop eating between meals. Snacking has become a national obsession and the advertising by these companies perpetuate it. Moreso, EATING has become a national obsession, not the natural bodily need it used to be. The human body isn't designed to be ingesting food all day. Richards will explain to you why the myth of eating 6 small meals a day is completely unhealthy. If you love your potato chips and cookies, you can choose to eat them as part of your meal, but you will probably find yourself disinterested in them after your body is back in hormonal balance. I know you have probably heard this before, but this book truly changed my life. Every human body needs this book.

The Ultimate pH Solution: Balance Your Body Chemistry to Prevent Disease and Lose Weight [Paperback] Review

I am sitting here drinking lemon slices squeezed into my water, and I just have to tell you: this is thebesthealth advice book I have ever read. I am still reading it, but this book WILL change your life.


I have lost about 7 pounds in a few weeks by adding lemon water, juicing my carrots, apples, fruits - eating oranges and more salads and a LOT less of the processed foods I used to eat.

In truth, I used to drink a quart of orange juice a day and eat mostly salads. But that was before kids. Things got very busy and I had a bad accident, which hampered my energy for a few years. So then the poor eating habits started.But man, I will tell you, I really appreciate having my great eating habits back.

People have told me for years that I look way younger than my chronological years. Great skin, for one.

I used to exercise a lot but that has fallen a bit. But back to the book.

European eating habits have been following this for years. This is not a newcomer idea according to the way I grew up.


What is this pH stuff and what is 'balance your body chemistry'?

You may remember pH and acid/base - acid/alkaline from Chemistry class perhaps.

Michelle Schoffro Cook tells us that our bodies function best when the pH is on the alkaline side - that our blood is more alkaline than acid. That would mean a pH or litmus reading of about 7.0- to 7.364 or slightly higher. Sounds easy?

Well, most people in the Western industrialized world eat foods that are processed as acid in our body, Michelle tells us. Our beloved dairy, meat, chicken, fish, eggs and even grains are all processed as acids, leaving us often with acid-blood levels rather than alkaline blood levels.

Add to that all the stuff we eat that is not actually food but a food product: Mickey D, other fast food and many other foods we eat are all processedwith preservatives added and nutrients that have been removed or rendered inactive by Pasteurization and other processing. The enzymes in food are all rendered inactive by Pasteurization or any heating above 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Meat processing is full of antibiotics as well as bacteria. So our beloved meat is not as healthy as it was for our grandparents, when cattle and poultry roamed free and were not given antibiotics or growth hormone, or had water or other agents injected into them to make the product more appealing.

So what is happening?



Michelle tells us that meat, dairy and grains are largely acidic in our blood. The countries that consume the most dairy products ALSO have the greatest amount of osteoporosis. How can that be? We've been told from time immemorial to drink our milk for strong bones and teeth.

Our diets are acidic - acid diets cause the elimination of calcium in our bones.

So how do we make our bones strong?

By changing our diets from acidic to alkaline.

Are there other benefits to having an alkaline diet?

You bet, Michelle tells us.

Research Michelle quotes reveals some potential links between acidic diets and cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, Alzheimers, asthma, allergies, arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and a host of other disorders and illnesses.

Not that diet alone can necessarily prevent or cure everything. But it cannot hurt. And can go a long way toward helping you feel better.

The corollary is also true: Research reveals that an alkaline diet can help prevent these diseases and may improve these diseases when they are already in place, Michelle tells us.

The countries with the lowest incidence of osteoporosis do not consume vast quantities of animal protein. These countries eat fresh fruits and vegetables and legumes. Legumes,unlike grains, are alkaline and are highly beneficial to our diets, according to Michelle.

Is it difficult to change from an acid diet to an alkaline one?

Michelle provides many easy tips for doing this.

!. Do not drink Soda or Diet Soda. Not only are these highly acidic in our blood, it takes many cups of alkaline-based water to neutralize these effects.

2. Squeeze fresh lemon into your tap water. Lemon in water turns the water alkaline. All our cells need fresh water - not soda, not commercial lemonade or commercial juices, coffees or tea - but plain water to function. By having several cups of lemon water daily, you are on your way to neutralizing some of the harmful effects of the acids in our diet.

3. Keep coffee and tea to a minimum, as these are acidic in the body.

4. Eating fresh citrus fruits are alkaline in our body. Even though citrus fruits and tomatoes are acidic as we eat them, they turn alkaline in our body and are very beneficial.

(In the last three weeks, I have been eating 3 oranges a day at break or with lunch and drinking lemon water. I bought a ring two months ago that fit snugly on my finger. In the last three weeks, since adding lemon water and oranges to my diet, my ring is now loose on my finger. That means I am processing water more effectively; my body is operating much more efficiently than before I drank lemon water and ate oranges.)

Michelle provides some excellent recipes such as Sweet Potato Fries (a great alkaline substitute for acidic white potato French Fries) and Chocolate Mousse with Avocado - avocados are loaded with alkaline properties.

Kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans are all alkaline.

The avoidance of white sugar and white flour is important for reasons I never actually understood. White sugar is a sugar of course; bacteria and other microbes FEED off of sugar. White flour is also a sugar in our bodies, as is Alcohol. Not only are these acidic in our bodies but they are the PARTY HARDY DISCOTHEQUES for bacteria and other illnesses that weaken our bodies.

If you are ill or in pain, do not despair. It is never too late.

Michelle has numerous stories of clients who came to her with illness and/or pain; after making some easy changes in diet, the clients returned a few weeks later with great improvement in their symptoms.

People think that 'drinking their fruit' as it says on the front of some commercial juices is great. But there is really no benefit to drinking these kinds of juices. Not only do they not have any pulp of the fruit, they are laden with corn syrup, sweeteners and artificial flavors or preservatives, and the original enzymes in whatever amount of fruit juice these concoctions originally contained has been killed or rendered inactive by the required heating process of Pasteurization.

So how do you get your recommended fruit and vegetables?

A good Caesar salad, side of fruit or fresh veggie, lemon water, citrus fruits, blueberries, tomatoes, avocados, legumes, bean or alfalfa sprouts. Many others.

Eating some alkaline foods to balance the acid-based foods we eat can go a long way to preventing or restoring our health.

Food processing removes so many nutrients that we need.

(I have a little story to tell you. About 15 years ago, I had an injury and was in chronic pain for years. I had a juicer - a juice extractor. I began to make carrot juice. I was in a LOT less pain just from drinking the carrot juice than I had been before drinking it.)

How is this possible? Juice extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables is a highly concentrated way of getting nutrients. Make your own V-8 - it will be much healthier.

These extracted juices have phytochemicals that are so essential to health.

We have now begun to juice our carrots and other fruits and vegetables again.

Do not worry if you think you cannot be perfect; except for people who are Vegan (no consumption of animal products), it is not possible to be perfect. Just making positive steps in the direction of alkaline diets will help you.

Michelle has a lot of terrific recipes and ways to tests one's saliva or urine for alkalinity/acidity - as markers on the road to better health.

For the many who do not feel up to par or who do not feel well, this book WILL change your life. I'm buying several for people I know.

People at my work have ALREADY bought this book because they saw the results on me within a week.

A MUST READ.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss and Good Health (Paperback) Review

****
This is a simple, to the point book about apple cider vinegar. I was wanting to learn about how to use ACV and why, but not to the point of devoting hours to reading a lengthy book about the subject. This book was perfect.

It covers a history of ACV, how to make it, and how to use it for weight loss, staying healthy, and beauty regimes. It also discusses cooking with ACV and has 25 or so recipes. It has a chapter containing numerous ailments and how to use ACV to help each one. It is less than 100 pages (and the main content itself about 40 pages, the ailment section about 20 pages, and the rest recipes).
The main way to use ACV as explained here is to take 1t-2t in a glass of water three times per day before meals. But the book is worth buying for all of the interesting variations and explanations. I will make it a part of my reference collection and probably use it often.

Recommended.
