The Schwarzbein Principle, The Program: Losing Weight the Healthy Way (Paperback) Review

Imagine a world where you no longer view it through weight or food obsession eyes.I have entered such a world because of the steps to good health presented in The Schwarzbein Program.This was not an overnight success for me.I practiced and practiced the steps, mastering them one at a time, one day at a time, on my own unique schedule.I have learned the palate can change over time adjusting to being without sugar and man made carbohydrates.I never thought I could live without bread, ice cream or cake.I proved myself wrong.In fact I am living a fuller, healthier and rested life without these foods.I no longer over exercise and I pay attention to my stress, because I know I am the most important person in my life.And, without my health I can not add to the lives of others around me.

When I began my journey I did gain weight, 15 pounds, because my system was so damaged from years of sugar addiction and starvation dieting.And, even though I was gaining weight, I felt appreciably better.Encouraged by feeling healthier, a year and half later just of few of the miraculous changes are, I have currently lost 20 pounds, my skin is luminescent, the mental fog has disappeared, my painful menstruation is nonexistence and my emotional life is calmer.I am feeling free in my own body.

I was brave enough to walk away from conventional dieting wisdom and courageous to venture into the unknown, to trust a woman who had the clinical background to support her hypothesis about the correct way the body needs to be fed.I promise you, this is it; this program will end your suffering.

I highly suggest you find a nutritionist or a doctor who is familiar with her work to help you with the program.As I believe you will need a partner to guide you with the changes you will need to make and advise you on using the correct supplementation your body may need.

Think about what your life will look like tomorrow when food and weight is no longer the enemy.I have been given this opportunity to find out and it better than anything I imagined.

The Serotonin Power Diet: Use Your Brain's Natural Chemistry to Cut Cravings, Curb Emotional Overeating, and Lose Weight (Hardcover) (Hardcover) Review

In 1998 I weighed 135 pounds, and struggled with anxiety and bipolar disorder.2 doctors and several medications later, I am now symptom free, but found my weight often flucuating to as high as 225 - not good for a woman 5'6".The medications that have changed my life for the better, have wrecked my self image.I have tried everything - The Zone, Atkins, Weight Watchers (I gained every week at the meeting), Jenny Craig, 3 personal trainers, 2 nutritionists, and a hospital that told me that because of the medications I take there was nothing they could do for me.My last nutritionist was kind enough to tell me that I needed to eat Slim-Fast 2x a day, and a small dinner for the rest of my life, and work out 60 minutes a day at a minimum.She also indicated that I might be able to take off 15-20 pounds, but probably not all of the weight.

I don't know if my situation is familiar to anyone out there, but I wanted to post to let you know that for the first time I have NO carb cravings.That has been my biggest problem.That and the fact that I am so tired from the medications that I just find it hard to get motivated to workout.

I bought this book thinking that it wouldn't work - nothing ever has.Then I read the study online, and I figured, "what do I have to lose?"Apparently 4 pounds the first week, and 3 pounds the second week on the diet.I have also dropped my calories to 1400 a day (from about 2500), and am now working out 30 minutes a day because I finally have the energy!I was hungry the first 4 days, and now I find myself realizing that I forgot to eat.

The premise is simple: 3 meals and 2-3 snacks.Snacks are all carbs to release serotonin, which helps make you feel full so you aren't as hungry when meal time comes.Breakfast is protein & carbs (1 egg and 2 pieces of toast), lunch is protein and vegetables (chefs salad), and dinner is carbs and vegetables (baked potato or rice or pasta with a salad or raw or cooked veggies).Snack can be lowfat cereal, crackers, biscotti - tons of options.Everything is broken down into easy to reference charts with measurements.No calorie counting is really required.Honestly, it was so easy I thought I was missing something.Plenty of recipes come in the book, but you can also adapt your own.

If you are suffering from medication-induced weight gain, I recommend giving the Serotonin Power Diet a try.

Product Description:
Using this science-based plan, dieters will learn how to eat in order to boost serotonin, the brain chemical that shuts off appetite and turns on feelings of calm. This clinically tested program is also the first to offer antidepressant users an effective way to lose extra weight associated with their medication.

The Serotonin Power Diet is based on more than 30 years of pioneering research at MIT by internationally renowned scientist Dr. Judith Wurtman on the brain, emotions, appetite, and overeating. Using this research, she and Dr. Nina Marquis devised a program that puts the brain in charge of food intake. This simple 12-week plan, with more than 75 delicious recipes, was successfully tested on hundreds of clients at the Adara weight loss centers founded by the authors. Readers will lose up to 2 pounds a weeka€"while reducing stress and improving their moods.

Because the plan is designed to turn on serotonin and turn off the need to eat, readers will never feel deprived. In addition, as serotonin increases feelings of well-being, emotional eating will vanish.

The Core Balance Diet: 4 Weeks to Boost Your Metabolism and Lose Weight for Good (Paperback) Review

The Core Balance Diet is a must-read for women who have, well...gotten off balance (which would include probably 85-95% of American women). And Marcelle (with Genevieve) include six common ways that we have lost our balance: digestive, hormonal, adrenal, neurotransmitter, inflammatory, and detoxification. Which of us has not experienced imbalance in one of those areas, let alone two or three?

Marcelle challenges the woman who thinks she would be too overwhelmed to make some dietary and lifestyle changes: "If you could help your partner to lose weight, or help protect your child's health, by changing what he or she ate for a month, wouldn't you try and do it? Now, aren't you worth that same amount of attention?" And she is only asking you to try her program for a month! After that, she assures you, you'll be free from your food addictions and hooked on your feeling great!

Balance, as you might suppose, also entails eating approximately a 30/30/40 ratio of healthy fats, protein and complex carbs (though not as strict as the Zone Diet). But it includes much, much more than that.

The book begins with an explanation of how imbalances lead to weight gain and aging and provides a layman's easy-to-read explanation of the systems.

Marcelle provides a Core Balance quiz for you to determine which of your systems are weakest. This is followed by a chapter on each system. Each chapter(which is delight to read even if they don't apply to you as much as the others) contains the following: information on the imbalance and how to correct it; sidebars and boxes with interesting tidbits of info; a list of "Marcelle's prescriptions " for that imbalance; diagnostic tests to note the progress of that imbalance; foods to include and foods to avoid; supplements to take; "a day in the life" schedule for the lifestyle changes needed (exercise, when to eat, self- nurturing, etc.); a one-week menu;and frequently asked questions.

There are also 60 pages of recipes. Except for the medical diagnostic tests, this is a complete do-it-yourself book.

True to the Hay House spirit, there is also a chapter on the mind-body connection with the cute title, "Your Issues Are in Your Tissues" which alerts you to negative thinking and self-destructive behavior patterns that can sabotage your health.

I have read hundreds of books on health and nutrition (even wrote one myself!) and I give this book a hearty two thumbs up! I learned lots of interesting tidbits, such as how the liver is taxed on a low-fat diet, how Vitamin D deficiency is linked to obesity, and how not flossing can lead to body-wide inflammation. The only thing Marcelle could do to make it more complete would be to have a chapter on the importance of eating more raw foods since a raw diet taxes the digestive system far less.

This is a diet that can be, with a bit of imagination, used by anyone who has any dietary slant (vegan, vegetarian, raw fooder, etc). For example, if one is raw vegan, substitute raw hemp protein powder in place of meat and don't cook the vegetables.

Product Description:

From the co-founder of Women to Women, one of the first clinics in the country devoted to providing health care for women by women, comes a whole new way to look at weight loss: The Core Balance Diet. Marcelle Pick draws upon decades of patient and personal experience to solve the mystery of stubborn, frustrating weight gain in women, whether you've just gained it or have been struggling with it for years. This breakthrough program, which has benefited many of the thousands of women who visit the clinic each year, is rooted in cutting-edge nutritional science that explores the weblike relationship between women's hormones, metabolism, and weight gain. In clear terms, Pick connects the dots between self-knowledge, self-care, and the ability to lose weight, extending the concept of body-mind-spirit to demonstrate why and how a woman's biography becomes her biology.


At its most basic level, The Core Balance Diet shows you how to self-diagnose one of six major biochemical imbalances that may be preventing you from losing weight. These include digestive, hormonal, adrenal, neurotransmitter, inflammatory, and detoxification imbalances. From there, Pick guides you through easy lifestyle and diet changes customized to heal your specific imbalance. Throughout, you will learn how to begin living in a manner that encourages optimal health-without a lot of deprivation and stringent dieting rules- by achieving core balance from the inside out, and, of course, weight loss for life.

Your Last Diet!: The Sugar Addict's Weight-Loss Plan (Paperback) Review

I've read *all* the books and tried so many "diets," but never found one single program that was able to make a lasting difference in my life and weight. This book builds on the science explained in Dr. Des Maisons's first book, Potatoes Not Prozac, which helped me to understand that weight gain (and depression) WAS NOT MY FAULT, but rather a function of my sugar-sensitive biochemistry. That realization was key to 80 pounds of weightloss (and counting) and the kind of centeredness, confidence and happiness I haven't known since childhood.
