El Nuevo Libro De Cocina Dietetica Del Dr Atkins: Con Recetas Rapidas Y Sencillas (Spanish Edition) [Paperback] Review

This is an excellent book. I have lost 20-lbs (from 167 - 147) and I just couldn't lose more than 5-lbs on low calorie diets. This one works and I'm never hungry because of the diet.
I bought this book for a dear friend of mine who only reads in spanish. I don't know if she'll be able to do the diet or not because of tortillas and black beans (she has a husband and two children) but we'll see how she does :)

Today Is the First Day: Daily Encouragement on the Journey to Weight Loss and a Balanced Life [Hardcover] Review

Today is the First Day is a great addition in the First Place series. I first bought my copy in June of 2002 & each devotion was appropriate for the situation I was dealing with. I truly believe God led me to the book to help me make decisions I needed to make. The devotional is written to go along with the First Place study series, but you don't have to do them to use it. Each week starts with a different memory verse, so if you choose, you can memorize 52 verses of Scripture! I highly recommend this book, you will be so blessed.

Clinique Science Weight Loss [Hardcover] Review

It's a great book with valuable health information for anyone interesting in losing tons of weight or just want to eat healthy.The medicinal section is great because I can continue to eat with minor changes.I give it 5-star because Clinique Science Weight Loss focuses on health and wellnes.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Clinique Science Weight Loss [Hardcover]

Product Description:
Based on the results of biomedical, clinical, and health research from hundreds of scientists worldwide. Written for the general public and medical professionals.

Clinique Science Weight Loss is a book that describes a simple method to lose weight rapidly and completely, while improving health and reducing the risk of many diseases (in¬cluding cardiovascular disease and cancer). At the core of this method are medicinal foods and The Plateau-proof Diet.
Among the medicinal foods are herbs and spices that directly cause weight loss, and many others that maintain and/or improve certain vital aspects of health and wellness. Medicinal foods are a very important component of this weight loss system because they either affect weight loss directly, or they improve the physiological deficiencies that make weight loss difficult or impossible. Physiological deficiencies such as very early stage (pre-disease) glu¬cose intolerance, for example, tend to complicate weight loss while favoring weight gain. These deficiencies can easily be reversed by the proper use of medicinal foods. We there¬fore cannot overemphasize the important role of medicinal foods in a rapid and sustainable weight loss.
The Plateau-proof diet is a rotation diet that is designed to prevent the dreaded weight loss plateau. Drawing from the research of several hundred scientists from across the world, this diet uses two formulas to assign numbers (a Carb/Protein and a Fat/Protein index) to all foods. Basically, there is a rotation between low-carb (standardized to protein) and low-fat (standardized to protein). Without standardizing to the right type of proteins, weight loss would be unpredictable, slow in most people, and easily reversible in almost all people. The main culprit responsible for the rapid weight gain after weight loss is the human growth hormone (more appropriately the lack thereof). The human growth hormone is respon¬sible for maintaining leanness in the adult human. The secretion of this hormone is sup¬pressed or inhibited upon weight gain, while the secretion of its antagonist (human growth hormone binding peptide) is increased. If this deficient hormonal axis is not reversed in the course of weight loss, the subject will invariably regain weight. The Plateau-proof Diet uses protein standardization to reverse the deficiency in human growth hormone, and therefore to prevent the weight loss plateau and the subsequent weight gain.
There is no doubt that a relatively healthy subject will lose weight easier and maintain leanness, which is why Clinique Science Weight Loss is designed to improve health while affecting a rapid and sustainable weight loss. This method is relatively easy to follow and is inexpensive. The system does not require counting, calculations, extensive planning, and other vexations that one would expect from a science-based weight loss program. Also, The Plateau-proof Diet is not very restricting since it is a rotation diet.
Since the Clinique Science Weight Loss system starts affecting vital physiological param¬eters from day one, potential users are advised to talk with their physician prior to starting. Some basic screening will be done that will help individuals to derive the most benefit out of the system. The screening will include: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cho¬lesterol, triglycerides, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio. This screening will allow individuals to emphasize certain medicinal foods to correct applicable deficiencies while they lose weight.

Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage) [Paperback] Review

Gary Taubes reviews the medical research of the past 50 years to establish that the connections between fat and cholesterol and heart disease have never been proven and that, on the contrary, the case that unrefined carbohydrates are responsible for obesity and the so-called "diseases of civilization" has been made by the very studies that have been used to defend the "fat" hypothesis.His review of the research is exhaustive. He does not claim that exercise does not improve muscle tone and overall health. Rather, he argues that exercise is not aa "cure" for obesity, and may even make some people fatter, because they eat more of the wrong foods after exercising.

Taubes writes that the rule to follow is the same one that your mother taught you:starch and sweets make you fat.The solution is to center your diet around protein and non-starchy carbs such as green vegetables and berries, and not to worry about fat so much as unrefined flour, rice and other processed foods.(As one reviewer below points out, "bad" calories may include meat, fish and poultry that has been fed a diet of highly-processed grain.Buy grass-fed, and read labels: much of the canned and prepared food that you buy, including some yogurts, contains sugar and food additives made from corn (corn syrup, citric acid, etc.))

Anecdotally, after reading Taubes's 2002 article in the NYT, I realized that I had started gaining weight -- put on twelve pounds, and gone from a size 6 to an 8 or 10 -- precisely when I had changed my diet in the late 1970s to conform to the "new wisdom" regarding fats and carbohydrates.Exercise -- running and yoga -- had helped me to hold the line at 12 pounds, but could not take off the added weight. My husband, for whom I had assiduously prepared low-fat, high-carb meals for years, was 25 pounds overweight, despite daily exercise.Although I had tried The Zone, and lost weight, I was scared to switch permanently to what my doctor warned me was a dangerous diet.So I'd switched back to low fat/high carb, and back came the 12 pounds.

Then, last year, we began cooking with Julia Child's "Art of French Cooking" and, rather than getting fatter, I actually lost -- yes, lost -- weight eating all those butter-sauteed veggies and creamy quiches.When I once again became concerned about eating too much fat, and returned to a low-fat/high carb diet, back came the weight.

Finally, 8 weeks ago -- before reading Taube's book -- I decided that low carb (meaning low starch) had proven itself to me twice over, and that I was going to do what worked. So I ate protein (eggs, fish, chicken, dairy), organic greens and other low-starch veggies, and tossed the rice, bread, potatoes, and sugar.I didn't worry about the fat and cholesterol in eggs, swiss cheese, whole-milk yogurt or almonds; that fat kept me full, and I wasn't eating tons of such foods (who could?), just enough to feel satisfied.

I have lost 8 pounds since July.I feel great.I am not hungry.I no longer have the digestive problems that I used to describe as a "sensitive stomach."Moreover, having recently bullied my husband into giving up sugar, white rice, potatoes and all but multi-grain bread, I am certain that his weight will soon come down as well.

In short, my mother (who was not sick a day in her life until she died -- still trim -- at age ninety, and whose cooking kept my father alive until the same age) was right, and so is Gary.Listen to your stomach, watch your scale -- and read this book.

The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week [Spiral-bound] Review

Please, before you judge or listen to the negative reviews let me say something. I started working this plan when very little information was available about it May of 2009. I did it when there was no book and only limited information available via the internet.Basically I took the 15 sugar 6 carb idea from Jorge and ran with it. So far I have lost 60 lbs on the Belly Fat Cure and I plan to lose 30 more to reach my goal.Those people writing negative reviews just want to open a book and have the weight fall off their bodies. You have to take control and want this for yourself. Read the book for insight and understanding and not just to be led around like a puppet.

Second, I live in a rural area with no Whole Foods Market or anything around and have to travel far for a health food store or order online to get some of the items that are in book. But not all of them.Jorge just gives the healthiest options, but you can make substitutions. If something is not available in your area, use something else. Most of us don't know that these healthier products exist.We let the mainstream dictate what we are putting in our bodies and feeding to our children.What we should be doing instead of attacking Jorge is to demand that these healthier options be made more readily available to us in our local markets. A lot of what he proposes include no artificial sweetners because of their alleged negative affects.If this isn't a concern of yours then make a substitution that includes artificial sweetners. I'm sure Jorge wouldn't advocate this but I have to admit that I do use some of the products that are on his Belly Bad List.I make the food and the plan work for me.For instance, Jorge doesn't like sugar free puddings that you can buy on the shelf because of the artificial sweetners.I try to avoid the artificial sweetners as much as I can but if I want a chocolate pudding then I'll have one.No biggie. Personal choice, hello?

I do not have a ton of money and was actually unemployed when I started this way of eating last summer.Yes, I think of it as a way of eating - not a diet.This is how I live now.So to those who claim its expensive that's not true.It doesn't have to be.The recipes in the book are simple and great tasting.They include normal foods that you probably already eat now. Its just about making it in a healthier way and making better choices.Things you would never think you could eat while losing weight.You do not feel deprived at all.It really is a mindset change more than anything.

I'm shocked and amazed at the people who complain about it being full of recipes, menu plans, and product evaluations?? Really this has me baffled.Isn't that what we all need anyway - the meat and potatoes of the thing? While Jorge explains an overview of the science behind why the plan works, do you really want a book full of technical jargon and trials and studies?If you google Jorge Cruise or take a look at some of his Youtube videos....he has interviews on there with experts that explain more indepth about the dangers of sugar.This is serious business, folks.Check them out.

I really hope that people will try this way of eating and don't judge the book based on the negative reviews.Its a shame because I know that I rely heavily on amazon reviews for nearly everything but this is one instance where I can truly say the negative reviewers have it all wrong.

Thank you, Jorge, for your passion for health and bringing awareness to this nation.The book and your wisdom have been a blessing to me and my family.

7 Secrets The Weight Loss Industry Will Never Tell You (Paperback) Review

It's interesting to note that all the positive reviews on this site come from around Brisbane, Australia. What a coincidence that Graham Park also comes from Brisbane, Australia. You can draw your own conclusions.
This book is nothing more than an infomercial for the weight loss program Mr Park is selling. There is no information in the book that is not well documented in almost every discussion on weight loss. 'Eat less, exercise more', oh I almost forgot, take vitamin supplements, and guess what, Mr Park sells those as well. So what are the seven 'Secrets'?
1. The weight loss industry is built on repeat business, (who would have thought!)
2. Synthetic food is not the answer (eat real food, not something out of a packet, now we are getting somewhere)
3. Surgery is always dangerous (don't have bariatric surgery, it might kill you)
4. No more miracle cures please (weight loss pills don't work, yes we know that)
5. Food is not the enemy (learn to eat the right things in the correct portions, ok)
6. Exercise won't do it. (food intake is more important than exercise, the only thing he says that is
of any real value, the exercise industry has us all brainwashed, I agree).
7. You do not need to be on diets forever (see Point 4. above)
So that's it. No need to buy the book now. You won't learn any more than this, and of course lots of information on how to buy into Mr Parks' weight loss program at $300 a month and how important 'supplements' are, that he also sells.
I was well and truly ripped off with the purchase of this book. $24.95 I will never see again.
Perhaps Mr Park should have added an eighth 'Secret'.
SECRET 8 - People in the weight loss industry write books pretending to give advise when they are really just trying to flog their weight loss program.
Don't waste your money.

Product Description:
This controversial & award winning (Living Now Nth America Book award) book has been under heavy attack recently from within the mainstream weight loss industry for exposing the "myths & secrets" that clearly explain the industry's 95% failure rate (studies show 95% of people who do a weight loss program are NO lighter 12 months later) and why this totally unacceptable failure rate and the "YoYo" repeat diet effect is so damagingto those of us who struggle with our weight.
The book has been attacked in the media by industry types with some even posing as consumers to give aggressively negative reviews in the hope of stopping this information from helping those wanting to get weight off and keep it off forever.
The book takes a different look at why we struggle to lose weight and while it does not provide exact recipes etc.
It offers something far more valuable, a clear understanding of 2 vital areas:
1/ Why the mass market weight loss plans will never help us keep the weight off.
2/ A clear explanation of the 4 ESSENTIAL keys to permanent weight loss, there is way more to this than just food.
Graham Park struggled with his own weight gains for more than 20 years, following the industry advise. It was not until he worked with a medical/science team (who contribute to the book) from outside the weight loss industry thathe was able to lose more than 95 pounds in just 23 weeks without much exercise and keep it off for the past 4 years.
He and that team have since gone on to help thousands of clients via their own customized programs so they have the experience to know exactly what works and what does not.
