Diet Failure...the Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry Key to Losing Weight - And Keeping It Off! (Paperback) Review

Diet Failure...the Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry Key to Losing Weight - And Keeping It OffPhoenix Gilman is one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in the world of diet and health.Her passionate cry for sanity in such an insane world chock full of so-called experts and pundits stands out above the rest and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her about this book on my podcast show.Her enthusiasm for seeing lives changed through some rather basic, common sense alterations in diet is more than refreshing in this day and age when everybody thinks they have THE answer to obesity and disease.

What will you get from reading DIET FAILURE...THE NAKED TRUTH?Just that--a no-holds-barred, easy-to-read guidebook for implementing a health strategy that will have you well on your way to looking and feeling better than you ever thought possible.Phoenix is one of the rare few today who understands the negative role of insulin and elevated blood sugar levels as the source of weight gain and prominent health calamities such as Type 2 diabetes.And what stimulates the rise in insulin--carbohydrates!

Applying three decades of knowledge and experience working directly with people as well as voraciously researching all the latest studies, Phoenix is on top of her game and stands prepared to provide real education to people who are seriously concerned about their weight and health.What's most amazing is that none of this information is new, but she packages in such a way that you instantly become a believer in the concepts despite the fact that many of them go directly against everything you've ever heard about a healthy lifestyle.

Prepare to be challenged and then changed forever after reading this book.You'll look good naked on the outside and feel fabulous on the inside, too.THANK YOU Phoenix for staying true to the cause you believe in so strongly and I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing for many more years to come!

The Best Life Diet Revised and Updated [Bargain Price] (Paperback) Review

The Best Life Diet Revised and Updated [Bargain Price]If I could have ranked this book 4 1/2 stars, I would have.It contains solid information that would certainly benefit anyone and lead to slow and steady weight loss, but I would take off 1/2 a star since none of this information is groundbreaking or innovative.What I do like about this book, compared to Bob Greene's previously released Total Body Makeover book, is that this program is more doable by someone who has a life outside the gym, which is extremely important, since many Americans go on diets, but very few stay on them.

The program is divided into 3 phases.The first phase is basically designed to ease you into a program of healthier eating habits (focused more on the habits, like snacking, not eating within a few hours before bedtime, etc., rather than on limiting foods) and increased movement.Nothing extreme here - I like this aspect of this phase, as for most people, starting right up with a perfectly clean diet and an hour or more of exercise each day is too much (hence my problem with Greene's Total Body Makeover).The second phase is the real weight-loss phase with increased emphasis on "clean eating" by eliminating 6 empty or problem foods from your diet.Again, I like this approach because it makes it much more doable than cutting out all of your bad habits (I'm assuming that most of us have more than 6 - I certainly do) cold turkey.Increased activity is also an important aspect of phase 2.Finally, phase 3 is the "lifestyle" phase of the diet, which is more a lifetime fitness and eating plan than a diet.Recommended daily eating plans (including a 7-day diet diary of Oprah), and some tasty recipes (with lovely photos) are also included.

Finally, as with all of Bob Greene's books, there is direction for focusing in on your reasons for overeating, being overweight, and eating the wrong foods, i.e., the "emotional eating" aspect of weight problems.I particularly agree with Greene's assertion early in the book that in order to address your weight, you must first address your life.I know from my own experience, that when I find myself eating poorly, or eating in excess, or not exercising consistently, it is because of what is going on in my head, and not what is going on in my body.

Ultimately, I think this book is a great addition to one's health and fitness library.In my opinion, it takes the best of Bob Greene's earlier books and puts them into one, concise and doable program, which will provide weight loss and weight management that lasts and not merely a quick and temporary fix.

Product Description:
From the bestselling author of Get With the Program! and Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover comes The Best Life Diet, a lifetime plan for losing weight and keeping it off. Bob Greene helped Oprah achieve her dramatic weight loss, and he can help you too. You'll eat the same delicious food that Oprah enjoys, and, just like Oprah, you'll have Bob to encourage you at every step. Unlike a celebrity, however, you don't need to hire a staff of experts to aid and advise you, because Bob's plan, easily tailored to an array of tastes, lifestyles, and activity levels, acts as your personal trainer and private nutritionist. Just open the book and let Bob help you get started down the path toward your best possible life.
What sets Bob apart from all the other experts who claim to have plans that work is that he admits that weight loss is difficult: seventeen years of watching people struggle to lose weight on a seemingly endless string of trendy crash diets, only to backslide and regain the pounds they've shed, have taught him that dropping pounds is not simply a numbers game. By acknowledging that it is not simple laziness but a complicated web of social rituals, cultural expectations, and habits that drives people to gain weight, Greene is able to attack the problem of weight loss realistically and offer not a short-lived, quick-fix formula, but a long-term program that accounts for the challenges and constraints of the real world.
Divided into three phases, The Best Life Diet gives you the tools you need to change your life. In each phase, you'll be asked to reexamine the decisions you make on a daily basis and gradually alter your habits to achieve lasting results. The book also includes easy-to-follow meal plans that make it simple to meet your daily energy and nutrient requirements, whether you are on the run and breakfast means a quick smoothie or you have time to shop for fresh produce and make something special.
You'll watch the weight disappear as you learn to prepare festive and flavorful dishes like Fire-Roasted Tomato-Shrimp Veracruz, Chicken Sausage Jambalaya, or Flank Steak with Chimichurri Topping and indulge in desserts like Roasted Peaches with Ricotta and Almonds or Apple Rhubarb Walnut Crisp. And for each delicious recipe, there is a detailed nutritional analysis, so you know exactly what you are eating and how it fits into your personal eating plan.
Most important, Bob's plan doesn't end once you've lost the weight. Instead, it gives you the tools you need to make living your best life second nature, because for Greene, a diet is not something you go "on" or "off" but a set of guidelines that will help you claim the life you deserve.

Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Paperback) Review

Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent DiabetesI have read most of Jack Challem's books, and this latest on how to avoid diabetes is by far his best effort. It should really be treated as a manual, as the book provides lessons on getting and maintaining normal blood sugar and avoiding diabetes. However, the ease of reading and understanding the profound, yet simple to follow guidelines, reads more like a great book.My family has an extensive history of diabetics, and three of my siblings have it.My mother passed away in my arms, before she would have needed to leave this earth, due to diabetes..She had several surgeries on her feet, removing toes, and part of her feet, and she was blind at the end. I do not want to have to die this way...Thanks to the information in this awesome book, I have already lowered my fasting blood sugars from 94, to a normal range of 81 within a couple of weeks. I monitor my blood sugar follow simple eating and exercise habits outlined in easy to follow guidelines and have never felt better.

The Perfect 10 Diet: 10 Key Hormones That Hold the Secret to Losing Weight and Feeling Great-Fast! [Hardcover] Review

The Perfect 10 Diet: 10 Key Hormones That Hold the Secret to Losing Weight and Feeling Great-Fast [Hardcover]I had an advance copy of this book from Book Expo and I put it to the test starting in mid-September. So first, I am a diet failure. I have failed on every diet I've ever tried so I was really nervous about trying this one and assumed that it too wouldn't work. And I was really shocked when I started to lose weight. And my family was too!!! So I kept a chart and this diet really worked (and it's still working!!)

So now I'm at 23 pounds (hoping to make 25 pounds by the New Year). But what's important (I think) is the many ways that it's changed me. At Thanksgiving the kids were shocked (I mean really shocked) when I started playing football and frisbee golf outside with them. I have so much more energy. I feel clearer (like my head is clearer). My husband says there's 4 or 5 inches gone from my waist. I've had to buy new clothes. And it's easy to travel with (I travel a lot) and to entertain with (entertain a lot too). You know exactly what you can and can't eat and you don't ever go hungry because it's really about what you eat (it's about the hormones).

So while I've tried lots of diets, this is the first one that's ever worked for me. And now I have a plan to have all the extra weight gone (I needed to lose 60 pounds in total...so am 1/3 of the way there) by my next birthday. And I think I can do it. It's all about balancing hormones. Got it!

Product Description:

Lose up to 14 Lbs in 21 days!

Doctor Designed, Easy to Follow, Proven Success


The latest medical research shows hormones are the key to weight loss. Your hormones control how your body uses the foods you eat, whether it's used for energy or stored as fat. The Perfect 10 Diet balances these key hormones so you:


* Lose weight fast without going hungry (hunger wrecks diets)
* Have more energy!
* Start to lose weight without exercising (up to 80 pounds)
* Reverse the aging process and look younger for life

What Doctors Are Saying About The Perfect 10 Diet


"The Perfect 10 Diet program finally answers many of the questions that you have always wanted to know about weight loss. If weight loss was just a problem of calories in and calories out, everyone would be the weight they want to be. Congratulations to Dr. Michael Aziz for bring us this informative book on answers to one of the biggest medical problems of our time."
—Pamela W. Smith, M.D., MPH
Director Masters Program in Medical Science with a Concentration in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine, University of South Florida School of Medicine

The Breakthrough Diet That Gets Real-Life Results


Because The Perfect 10 Diet works with your hormones, people see results fast—up to 14 pounds in the first 21 days.


Other diet fads, whether they are low-fat or low-carb, wreak havoc on your hormones, which is why these diets are hard to stay on and the weight comes back the moment you stop.


Dr. Michael Aziz has personally worked with more than a thousand patients who lost an average of 10-14 pounds in the first three weeks on the diet, and who also showed remarkable improvement in the markers for heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes and more. Their overall health improved significantly. And they did it all while eating great food, feeling full after their meals and having more energy!

Below are just a few of the real-life results people have had on The Perfect 10 Diet:


SHARON: Sharon weighed 264 pounds despite a twenty-one-year struggle to control her weight through more than her share of low-fat, low-carb and fad diets. Within two years of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Sharon lost 132 pounds by giving up the "fake" foods she thought were healthy. Better still, she has kept the weight off and enjoys increased energy and confidence.

MARK: Thirty-five-year-old Mark weighed 260 pounds at 5'9", with a high 40 percent body fat reading. He suffered from severe headaches, was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure. Mark lost 90 pounds in 10 months on The Perfect 10 Diet. His headaches were gone, and his insulin, blood pressure, and body fat were all at normal levels—plus, he has never felt better in his life.


MARY: Mary had gone from a size four to a size twelve in two years' time, weighing 160 pounds at 5'4". Despite a low-fat diet, she struggled with high cholesterol. Within 3 months of starting The Perfect 10 Diet, Mary lost 23 pounds and lowered her cholesterol to a normal level by doing exactly what she always thought she shouldn't—increasing her fat intake in conjunction with eliminating refined and processed foods.


And these are just a few of the people whose lives have been changed through The Perfect 10 Diet. Here are a few more:


"I went from a size 24 to a 6, and I love it!"
—Nancy A.


"I have lost seventy pounds on The Perfect 10 Diet in sixteen months and my fasting insulin level has dropped from 40 to 4. The Perfect 10 Diet allows me to eat more fat from butter, coconut, and avocados, which I avoided for years believing they were bad for my cholesterol. Who could ask for anything more? Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."
—Julie


"Eat anywhere, eat healthy meals, and enjoy the food I love? How easy is that?"
—Carol Z.


"At age 50, I feel like I'm 20 again."
—Ted S.


"I love the Perfect 10 Diet. I lost 44 pounds on this amazing, one-of-a-kind diet."
—Sharon K.


Today, medical research has a much better understanding of how hormones affect weight. By balancing your hormones with the right food choices you can not only start losing weight fast but you can make an enormous difference in your life or in the life of someone you love.

The Weight Loss Plan for Beating Diabetes: The 5-Step Program That Removes Metabolic Roadblocks, Sheds Pounds Safely, and Reverses Prediabetes and Diabetes [Paperback] Review

The Weight Loss Plan for Beating Diabetes: The 5-Step Program That Removes Metabolic Roadblocks, Sheds Pounds Safely, and Reverses Prediabetes and Diabetes [Paperback]If you are diabetic or know someone who it, this book could be a real life-saver.I have several diabetics in my family.I know from first-hand experience how very hard it is for them to lose weight.And yet, losing weight, could be the very best thing someone could do to keep their diabetes in check or even to reverse it.

Dr. Fred Vagnini, one of the world's leaders in alternative medicine, has been working with diabetics for many years.As a result of this work, "Dr. V," as he is know by his patient and many followers, has come up with a innovate five-step plan.Perhaps better than any approach preceding it, his plan helps diabetics and even pre-diabetics lose pounds without having to resort to drastic diets or bypass surgery.

Dr. V's five steps are simple, easy to understand, and they work.After years of struggle, my aunt Elizabeth lost 30 pounds on this system, and has stopped taking insulin for the first time in 25 years.Whatbetter endorsement could there be?

Even though I don't have diabetes, I'm worried myself about metabolic syndrome so I read this book and found it chalk full of great information.Herein lies novel insights from a doctor who obviously cares deeply about getting to the root of diabetes and doing something to eradicate it.

This is so refreshing because it seems to me so many other doctors are only interested treating diseases and profiting from them.

I took the self-assessment lifestyle test and discovered a couple things I can do differently that should keep me from becoming pre-diabetic.One has to do with consistency in my exercise program and the other has to do with eating out too often.So, now I'm jogging more, and I'm avoiding the barbeque restaurant I used to visit 3 times a week.

And I can't believe this, but Dr. V has motivated me to eat more salad and raw vegetables, both of which I never thought I would do.

Least my experience be miss-leading, Beating Diabetes is easy to understand but it is not a simplistic "lifestyle" book--it has real depth and plenty of information which I for one was not aware of.For instance, if you take any of the medications that diabetics take, you will find a very important chapter on side effects and how not to mix your meds with the wrong supplements or foods.

Well over 200 pages, there is a lot of "added value" information in the form of charts, lists and self-tests.I found the "week of meals" chart very useful--not that I could exactly follow it, but that it gave me ideas about portions and about interesting and tasty ways to approach meal planning.

The writing style is clear and all the medical terms are defined.Dr. V doesn't speak down to you, nor does he assume you already know the terminology.He has a real knack for educating people by talking (and writing) directly to them.

I totally recommend this book.

The Metabolism Miracle: 3 Easy Steps to Regain Control of Your Weight... Permanently (Hardcover) Review

The Metabolism Miracle: 3 Easy Steps to Regain Control of Your Weight... PermanentlyFor years I tried all kinds of diets saying to myself they should work if I really follow the rules, but they didn't. I thought I failed. Yet deep down I knew there was more to it. I'm not that lazy, yet the scale said otherwise. Then I learned about The Metabolism Miracle...and it is a miracle. In very clear language Diane Kress explains why my physiology doesn't fit the mold of all those other diets. She tells me why I am different and why those other diets will never work for me; something I knew but didn't understand. And it's backed up by fact based on Diane's research and physiology of the human body. A lot this has been known for a long time, yet no one has put the puzzle together like Diane has before. The book is full of information on how my body's metabolism works. The book explains each phase of the program in easy to follow steps and how your body will react to each step and it's full of data supporting each phase. In reading the book it seemed like there was an answer to each possible question - what if I slip (there's a plan to get back on track); what types of foods can I eat (not only are there sample menus, there are pages and pages of recipes); what do I do if I go out to eat; etc, etc. The book will be a reference book for me for years to come. I really am excited that I've found where I belong.

Product Description:
Do you keep gaining weight, despite your efforts to diet? Do the pounds accumulate around your tummy? Do you feel tired, irritable, and unable to focus?

Diane Kress, a registered dietitian and weight-loss specialist, has helped thousands with Metabolism B lose weight-and keep it off-with her revolutionary, scientifically based program. Now she shares its secrets here. Among the many life-changing elements of The Metabolism Miracle, you will discover:

•The reason why cookie-cutter approaches to dieting (subtracting calories burned from calories consumed) cannot work for those with Metabolism B
•The tools to lose weight and reprogram your metabolism permanently
•A foolproof method to improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar
•The return of your energy, focus, and sense of well-being
•Sample menus to help you take it one day at a time

The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose Weight (Paperback) Review

The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose WeightI don't do stress well at all!After years as a first grade teacher and a stressful personal life, stress almost hospitalized me.Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.I was running on a pure histamine.My adrenals were shot-no emergency energy!I was covered with rash, depressed when I could come down enough.My muscles were wasting away.Then my thyroid crashed and I could barely drag my legs around to walk.After the thyroid started up again, the doctors "blood type diet" didn't do much.Then I saw an article on Dr. Talbott in a magazine and followed the advice while I waited for the book to arrive.I've only been on the plan for 10 days and the depression is gone and, oh, yes the brain fog.I can do 30 minutes a day on my crosstrainer.I am sleeping better and feel more positive.All this after I had to quit work five years ago because this syndrome is so debilitating.Great book!Read it!Use it!It's for everyone since we're all living under stress.I'm into The Cortison Connection now.I fell like I'm giving myself a second chance at life and loving it.
If you're tired of starving to loose weight and want to eat to achieve a healthy body and spirit, this is the best.I don't have those awful sugar cravings anymore. Did I mention I was on heavy Prednisone for five years and had drug-induced hypoglycemia?Anyway, this food plan (it's not a diet because you're never hungry) is perfect.I was never able to get the weight to drop off and now it's coming off.
Thanks, Dr. Talbott.People like you come along far too infrequently.Penecillin and the polio vaccines for the 20th century.Obesity for the 21st!If anyone should question this books importance, open your eyes to how few fit people you see.We've been "digging our own graves with a spoon"! Examine the statistics.It makes perfect SENSE. It's soooo simple!

Product Description:
In his best-selling The Cortisol Connection, Dr. Shawn Talbott explained how elevated levels of the cortisol hormone, when triggered by stress, will increase appetite, enhance fat storage, disrupt blood sugar control, and eventually lead to obesity that can cause diabetes and other serious conditions. This concise follow-up puts Talbott's cortisol control, diet, and exercise ideas into an accessible format.
The Cortisol Connection Diet shows beleaguered dieters how to eat for quality and for quantity at every meal.
