Perfect Weight: The Complete Mind/Body Program for Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight (Perfect Health Library) [Paperback] Review

Perfect Weight: The Complete Mind/Body Program for Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight [Paperback]For years I read self-help and motivational books. Like 7 habits for highly effective people, Life strategies - Doing what matters doing what works and the likes. But never having dedicatede the time and effort to start the procces to actually put my knowleged into practical application.
My new-years resolution for 2001 was "More love for me, More love to what I do!" And come feb. life handed me an oppotunity to drop off the radar and start practicing what I had been preacing to my self for years.
I had been over weight since I was 13-14 years old.
Simplyfied but true, at 137 kg, being fat was my ultimate excuse for anything wrong that happend in my life.
So I decided to focus my attention to turn the tabel and start showing myself the love I felt I lacked.
I had known about Chopra for years and when I came across this book I thought "Why not this way!" and bought it.
To cut an already long story short :-)
Now a year and a half later I'm at 88-90kg (Down some 50kg)
Wow, but the most important points I will stress to you wanting to use this book as inspiration and guide. Drink the boiling water and don't focus on how much you loose in Lbs./Kg's, but how much you show your self that you're worth it, by sticking to your plan. And don't forget... If you fall of the horse - TRY AGAIN! Best of wishes and loads of love to you all - You ARE worth it, you just wait and see ;-)

The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended: Lose Weight, Beat Food Cravings, and Get Fit (Paperback) Review

The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended: Lose Weight, Beat Food Cravings, and Get FitI love Ayurvedic eating, but this book twists the idea of eating seasonally too far.I am a Vata type and tried eating a low-fat diet for a week this spring.The author asserts that since spring is a Kapha season we should eat low fat to counteract Kapha.But spring in the northeast U.S. can be cold and the low fat diet made me feel awful - constipated and unsatisfied.I think we need to pay more attention to our bodies and only some attention to the seasons.On the plus side, he is correct that if one eats lightly in the evening it easier to sleep better and get up earlier.So this information was quite valuable.Some of his facts are a little skewed in places.In debunking other diets he says that the Zone would work but nobody can stay on it because it doesn't offer enough variety.I think there are much more serious problems with that type of eating that the author doesn't get into.I found the Burn Rate Diet book to be much more scientific and explains why many of us (not all) need some fat and protien at all meals.The 3 Season Diet could drive my blood sugar up and down the wall (and I already take the herb he mentions to help with that!)

Product Description:
* Do you drink coffee in the morning to get your day started?

* Do you work through lunch?

* Do you crave sweets or a nap in the afternoon?

* Have you tried losing weight in the past three years and given up?

* Do you tend to have bouts of worry, anxiety, and depression?

* Do you have difficulty remembering things?

If you do, this book will help you restore balance to your daily life. By following its simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, you will not only lose excess pounds and maintain your ideal weight, you will generate energy and power in your life.

Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will: work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons, feeding it what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In spring, for instance, we want salads, berries, and leafy greens, a naturally low-fat diet. And in winter, we yearn for hearty soups, nuts, warm grains, and high-fat and protein-rich foods such as fish and meat. Following the foods that nature provides seasonally creates the best diet for balancing weight, mood, and energy for anyone living anywhere on earth.

The Yoga Body Diet: Slim and Sexy in 4 Weeks (Without the Stress) (Paperback) Review

The Yoga Body Diet: Slim and Sexy in 4 WeeksAs with any book claiming to give you the quintessential "Body" with a few easy steps I was skeptical. But this book illuminated some easy lifestyle changes (how the body naturally cleanses at night if you don't indulge at night...) that I could incorporate with my yoga practice. I've read other books on Ayerveda and its health benefits but often felt lost and hopeless -- that I would never be able to integrate its principles into my busy and always changing day to day. This book was written with clear, concise and easy to follow instructions on how to live by these principles - with a fun voice. You'll discover so much about your current state of health and the next page presents the solutions for a better you! Yoga, health and self is a constant study and practice and this book is a refreshing voice.

Product Description:

This diet gives you a long and lean yoga body by teaching you how to eat right for your type. No yoga experience is necessary, and you don't even have to be able to touch your toes to follow the program. With a simple self-test, discover whether youare Pitta (fire: tending toward irritability), Kapha (earth: tending toward sluggishness), or Vata (air: a bit on the flighty side). Once you know your type, the 8-week plan provides eating guidelines, meal plans, and 75 recipes-adaptable to each type-for food that tastes nothing like bland diet fare. While most weight-loss programs encourage speed and cardio, the exercise component of The Yoga Body Diet slows the body's systems, decreasing stress, blood pressure, and cultivating balance in the body. It's the perfect solution to the stresses of the modern woman's lifestyle.
