5 Square Low-Carb Meals: The 20-Day Makeover Plan with Delicious Recipes for Fast, Healthy Weight Loss and High EnergyI purchased Monica Lynn's book to help me create healthy meals for myself and my husband. I was surprised at how easy Monica's meals are to create. I have lost 8 pounds and my husband has lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks!I am so thrilled!I have bought a ton of diet books over the years and I must say - this one works with ease. The recipes are so simple - I double them to save myself time with cooking.Lynn suggests saving the leftovers for the next days meals and portioning them out - brilliant.It is never easy to change ones eating habits and I must say - I rebelled at first...thankfully my husband is one of those people that get really focused and he motivated me to stay on track.I had sugar withdrawals the first 2 days as Lynn said I would...thankfully by day three I felt leaner and had more energy than I have had in years.This book is a no-brainer.

Product Description:
"Eat more, eat clean" for fast, healthy weight loss and high energy!
Have you been looking for a healthy way to eat, without all the hassle of counting calories, calculating percentages, cutting out the foods you love, or regaining the weight? If so, Monica Lynn, founder and CEO of 5 squares#153;, offers the perfect plan to change how you eat -- and to change your life. 5 squares delivers five healthy, balanced meals -- or "squares" -- to clients each day. Now, you too can make the meals that have helped thousands of happy customers -- including members of the Yankees, Mets, and Rangers -- lose weight and increase their energy. Lynn's philosophy is simple: "Eat more, eat clean, and plan ahead." Eating five satisfying but smaller meals a day helps to keep your metabolism running smoothly and continuously, rather than shocking your system with a load of calories from larger meals. Developed especially for your kitchen and based on tried-and-true nutritional information, 5 Square Low-Carb Meals eliminates "empty calorie" foods that contain wheat and sugar in favor of those that help build lean muscle mass. The result: Your extra pounds will drop off safely and easily, and your energy will increase by leaps and bounds!
In 5 Square Low-Carb Meals, Lynn takes the guesswork out of healthful eating with twenty days' worth of easy-to-use recipes packed with flavor. Divided into five parts -- one for each "square" or meal -- the book provides a host of delicious options for your breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, and dinner. The combination of carbs, fat, and protein has already been calculated to create a healthy balance, so you can use the sample menus provided, or simply mix and match your own daily five squares according to the recipes and foods you like best.
Lynn also provides food diaries for charting your progress; information on how to create your own balanced recipes; and tips on dining out while on the plan, setting exercise goals, and staying on track long after you#146;ve completed the first twenty days.
Looking and feeling great are within your reach. 5 Square Low-Carb Meals gives you all the tools you need to change your lifestyle for the better, for good.

The Diet Detective's Count Down: 7500 of Your Favorite Food Counts with Their Exercise Equivalents for Walking, Running, Biking, Swimming, Yoga, and Dance [Bargain Price] (Paperback) Review

The Diet Detective's Count Down: 7500 of Your Favorite Food Counts with Their Exercise Equivalents for Walking, Running, Biking, Swimming, Yoga, and Dance [Bargain Price]Have you ever caught yourself thinking about how long it would take you to burn off a meal you had just eaten, especially one that was not very healthy? Maybe you have, maybe not. I know I have after splurging on an Apple Cinnamon Fruit Filled Pancakes meal at Denny's. Those 1,080 calories and 106g carbohydrates I just consumed will take me over 4 1/2 hours on the treadmill to walk it off! Yikes! I think I'll skip that meal from now on. :)

How did I know about this wonderful tidbit of nutritional knowledge? I owe it all to syndicated health columnist Charles Stuart Platkin and his new book The Diet Detective's Count Down. This handy-dandy little guide to 7500 different foods provides you with a quick-reference exercise equivalent to just about any food that will cross your lips.

That's right! No more excuses that you didn't know a food was bad for you because you had absolutely no concept about the amount of calories you were putting in your mouth. That's why the idea of seeing what you eat in the amount of time it would take you to burn it off is a revolutionary one. Platkin says he would love to see this information appear on restaurant menus and on nutritional labels.

What a concept! How many people would scarf down an entire cup of gumdrops if they knew they would have to do more than four hours of yoga just to burn them off?! Not too many people I would dare say. And that's what I love about The Diet Detective's Count Down because it makes people start thinking of calories in terms of exercise which is a lot more tangible and realistic. Calories can be mysterious, but exercise is very real!

Before I lost over 180 pounds on the Atkins diet in 2004, I would regularly consume a whole box of Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls in one sitting! I know, I know, that was pretty stupid. But had I known at the time that I would have to shake my fat butt dancing for over 4 1/2 hours to keep those calories from turning into stored fat in my blubbery self, then I probably would have thought twice about doing that. Again, the Diet Detective as come to the rescue!

Despite the unique concept of thinking about the calories of the foods you eat and their "exercise equivalent," you can also learn about the actual number of calories, carbs, and fat grams with The Diet Detective's Count Down. For those who are genuinely interested in the exercise they will need to do to burn off their desired morsel of caloric goodness, though, Platkin shows you very clearly how many minutes it will take you to move your body either walking, running, biking, swimming, yoga, or dancing. You choose the exercise you enjoy the most and start working off those calories.

The bottom line is, as Olivia Newton-John sang about in the 1980s, let's get physical and start learning that exercise is an extremely important component not only in weight loss, but also in weight maintenance and health management. Thinking of food by how much time you will need to workout is one way to help you make better choices about what to eat in the first place. It's something Platkin refers to as a "calorie bargain"--finding a lower-calorie or low-carb replacement food for that oh-so-favorite one you think you can't live without.

Platkin said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who lost over 100 pounds on a low-carb diet just like me, traded his favorite sugary 550-calorie premium ice cream habit for a 250-calorie Splenda-sweetened low-carb ice cream instead. This savings of 300 calories helped Gov. Huckabee shed the pounds and avoid that extra one hour of swimming it would have taken to burn off his preferred dessert. That's the power of taking control of your diet once and for all.

Of course, these exercise numbers will vary from person to person based on the specific height and weight of the individual. The standard used for The Diet Detective's Count Down was a 155-pound person who is walking 3 mph, running 5 mph, bicycling nearly 12 mph, swimming laps, participating in Hatha yoga, or dancing.

Charles Stuart Platkin has hit on something here that is lacking in the debate over obesity in the United States today. People need to be given information that is honest and practical so they can clearly understand what they need to do to lose weight and get healthy. Enough with the confusing message to "eat right" or "follow a balanced diet." Obviously nobody knows what that means anymore.

What we learn from The Diet Detective's Count Down is that there are consequences for making poor choices in our diet. If you are willing to put in the time to burn off what you have consumed, then good for you. Otherwise, you may start to think twice before downing those 4 slices of Meat Lover's pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch. It'll only take you three hours riding around on your bicycle to burn those calories.

You know, eating healthier is already sounding a whole lot better!

THE COST OF A CALORIE REVEALED
--EXERCISE EQUIVALENTS--
The Diet Detective's Count Down Offers Readers Calories, Carbs, Fat and the Exercise Equivalents For More For Than 7,500 Foods(Walk, Run, Swim, Bike, Yoga, and Dance.
Ever find yourself debating whether or not to buy just one bag of chips? Or grab a little candy bar for the road? Consider this: what if the nutritional labels on your favorite foods spelled out exactly what you'd have to do to burn those calories?
Well, nutrition and public health advocate, Charles Stuart Platkin's new book, THE DIET DETECTIVE'S COUNT DOWN, is the first of its kind that translates food into exercise, giving readers a tool for deciding what a calorie means and which calories are worth it.
THE DIET DETECTIVE'S COUNT DOWN lists more that 7,500 foods with exercise equivalents in minutes calculated using six forms of activity: WALKING, RUNNING, BIKING, SWIMMING, YOGA, AND DANCING. All this information is listed in an easy to view table format. The table also includes calories, fat and carbohydrates.
This is no ordinary diet book, it is a food fact bible giving readers tasty nuggets of information that make them think before they eat. Translating food into calorie counts isn't enough - translating calorie counts into exercises makes clear the consequence each bite has on the waistline!
Examples of an Exercise Equivalent (The book contains more than 7500 listings in an easy to use table format w/Calories, Carbs and Fat, walking, running, biking, swimming, yoga and dance):
-1 double-stuffed Oreo cookie = 18 minutes of walking

-1 soda = 48 minutes of yoga

100 Best Weight-Loss Tips (Hardcover) Review

100 Best Weight-Loss TipsDiet, nutrition, and exercise expert Fred Stutman, M.D. presents 100 Best Weight-Loss Tips, a compendium that distills vital information to bite-sized bits for anyone striving to reach and maintain a healthy weight. From warning against common myths such as "Running and strenuous aerobic exercies are the best way to lose weight" (in fact, walking andmoderate exercises burn fat during the first two-thirds of the workout, while strenuous exercises burn carbohydrates during the first two-thrids of the workout and fat during the last one-third), to the severe health dangers of low-carb diets, to why one should weigh oneself weekly instead of daily (there is often a "plateu" period where weight gain levels off - and it's unwise to trigger either the urge to celebrate with daily decreases, or the depressive tendency to give up if one's weight doesn't immediately decrease). A highly recommended, practical, straight-facts health guide for all Americans.

The Ultimate Diet Log [Spiral-bound] Review

The Ultimate Diet Log [Spiral-bound]I am now in week 7 of using this journal and it has been a helpful handy tool. For a few weeks before that, I had been tracking my food intake online, but it was cumbersome to look up each food in the database, sift through the (sometimes irrelavant) results, each time I had a quick snack. I much prefer to quickly jot it down the old-fashioned way, on paper.
One of the neat features is that each day's log has 2 columns for tracking "areas of focus." You decide which things are important for you to track: is it overall calorie intake, or fiber, or fat, or servings of fruits and veggies? And there is a helpful section at the front of the journal to help in your initial assessment to set personal goals and areas of focus. I flipped through a number of journals on the shelf at Borders before selecting this one, and I am very happy with my choice.

Easy Diet Journal: The Fastest Way to Lose Weight--Works with All Diet Programs (Spiral-bound) Review

Easy Diet Journal: The Fastest Way to Lose Weight--Works with All Diet ProgramsI have used several of Alex Lluch's diet journals and they keep getting better. This is simular to past versions but with some new updates. There are 26 weeks worth of pages. The days are prefilled with the day of the week and sections for calories, fat and carbs to track.

Love:
(1) Calender: a blank 6 month calender towards the begining of the food journal. I like to write on their trips when I am away from home, where I know I won't be as exact in tracking. Or I do have some smiley face stickers to put on the date, if I had a good food/exercise day
(2) Good size. Smaller than other versions. 4 inches wide and 7 inches long. Small enough to carry in a purse.

Could use improvement:
(1) Leave blank what you what to track. If I had to choose 3 items to track, I would track calories, protien and fiber (over fat and carbs)
(2) Would like a place for a monthly wrap up on how measurments/clothing size has changed.

The F.A.S.T. Diet: The Dean family lost 500 pounds. Now you can lose weight--and keep it off--with their simple plan. [Hardcover]I met Tony Dean a month ago to discuss weight loss.A group from our local town is following the FAST Diet plan.It is amazingly easy!As long as you can get the calories, fat grams, carbohydrates, protein, and fiber numbers, you can eat the food.All you do stay within your number range and exercise daily (no excuses).You can call or email Tony your numbers and he will provide daily feedback.

Click Here to see more reviews about: The F.A.S.T. Diet (Families Always Succeed Together): The Dean family lost 500 pounds. Now you can lose weight--and keep it off--with their simple plan. [Hardcover]

Product Description:
Every member of the Dean family was overweight and out of shape. Within twelve months, Tony Dean, his parents, and his five brothers and sisters had lost more than 500 pounds. And they did it without pills, special foods, counting points, or buying any special equipment. They had all tried to lose weight before, but despite the occasional small success, the weight loss was always temporary. So how did this ordinary family manage to overcome a lifetime of weight problems to achieve such remarkable results?

They did it together following the F.A.S.T. (Families Always Succeed Together) diet, a program Tony created that encouraged everyone to eat better, exercise more, and hold themselves accountable for maintaining their individual health while encouraging others in the family to stick to their own diet and exercise regimen. And it worked. The Deans are in the best shape of their lives, slimmer and healthier than ever before-and they plan to stay that way.

In The F.A.S.T. Diet, Tony Dean shows you how to create your own team-of friends, coworkers, or anyone interested in losing weight-and harness the power of teamwork and accountability to help you succeed. The F.A.S.T. Diet will show you how to:

- Eat the foods you want and still lose weight
- Host weekly weigh-ins to maximize your loss potential
- Motivate yourself to go to the gym even when you don't want to
- Use the support of your team to get you through the tough days

In just one year, the Deans transformed their health and their future. In The F.A.S.T. Diet, Tony shares everything they learned and everything you will need to transform your life, once and for all! We did it. You can, too!

"This works! I am a forty-six-year-old wife and mother of two who has tried every diet out there. By teaching me how to get healthy and lose the weight that has plagued me for twenty years, this program has changed my life for the rest of my life."-Jill Nielsen, Omaha, Nebraska

"The F.A.S.T. program has been the easiest diet I've ever followed. With three jobs, a family, and very little time to commit to exercise, I've lost 30 pounds to date and am still losing. I feel so much better, and people are noticing. And my cholesterol has dropped. Most important to me is that this program has made cravings a thing of the past. I love it!"-Marlene Zotti, Papillion, Nebraska

"As a family physician, I know the number one problem with weight loss is not lack of knowledge of how to lose weight-it is a lack of accountability and/or a support system. I believe that good accountability, like that used in the F.A.S.T. diet, helps override all the excuses that derail good diets. The F.A.S.T. Diet hits not only the important points of ‘healthy' eating and exercising but gives people the tools to be successful. I will definitely use this to educate patients who want to lose weight."-Matthew S. Bott, MD

"After losing more than 60 pounds and five dress sizes in five months, I am healthier than I have been in years. I feel better and have more energy! The F.A.S.T. Diet will be an inspiration for anyone struggling to lose weight and get healthy. It's a simple approach to lifestyle changes you can live with." -Elaine Pritchard, RN

"I have tried numerous other diet plans and failed. What I like most about the F.A.S.T. plan is that I control what I eat, so it does not feel like a diet. I have learned to change my eating habits and I am still cashing in on the results." -Tracy Mills, Farmington, Minnesota

"It has taken me fifteen years to lose this weight-fourteen and a half years of trying every other weight-loss program under the sun and then the last six months using the F.A.S.T. diet. This program has changed my life." -Lori Prochaska, Ralston, Nebraska

"I began this program as an amputee with high blood pressure and 100 pounds to lose. I was very depressed and had little confidence in my ability to shed weight. Tony promised me that if I stayed dedicated and made good choices, I would succeed. Now, here I am with nearly half the weight already gone, and my life is just incredible. For the first time in twelve years, I am able to ride a bike, play ball, and do a million other physical activities with my kids!" -Monica Sycuro, Papillion, Nebraska

KISS Guide to Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

KISS Guide to Weight LossThis book packed with information for those not only seeking to lose weight, but those wanting to create a healthier lifestyle. There are twenty chapters divided into six sections.The reader is expected to get a notebook and complete the various assignments given throughout the book.Topics covered in the book include everything from "Why lose weight?" to "The ABC's of Nutrition", "Living with your diet" and "Diet Troubleshooting". But the focus isn't just on food. There are several chapters dedicated to exercise and various other topics, like finding support and meal planning.
This is not a book for anyone looking to lose weight fast.It's geared for those who are willing to take their time, take a good look at themselves, their habits, their lifestyle, and consciously make changes in their life to create healthier living.The journal assignments are interesting.One, for example, is to write your hopes-and your fears-about losing weight.You may not think there are fears holding you back but once you start writing, it's interesting what comes forward.
Although the book may be a bit more expensive than other weight loss books, it can easily serve as a lifelong guide to keeping balance.It's full of pictures and illustrations that keep the reader entertained.The only bad thing is - well, it can't do the work for you, and that's a real bummer!

100 Weight-Loss Tips that Really Work (Paperback) Review

100 Weight-Loss Tips that Really WorkI am overweight and I needed a book that, in simple language, will guide me on the appropriate strategies to bring me to "normal" weight. After an exhaustive search, I came across this book and I have never regretted my decision to buy it.

I found the book easy to read and follow and the tips really make sense. I then went about implementing the advice given and it works for me. The book does not suggest quick fix solutions that often do not work and disappoint you but rather provides a methodical approach on what to eat and not to eat, how to effectively burn the fat through simple exercises like walking. The book also dispels many diet and exercise fallacies.

The only drawback with the book is that the author repeats himself often. This is not a major problem, however, as the repetition serves to remind the reader of the main points highlighted before.

Well, I have managed to lose 4 Kg in the past six weeks and I am on target to lose an extra 8 Kg to bring me to a normal, healthy weight with minimal risk of weight related diseases such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease or diabetes.
