Everything You Need To Know About Fat Loss [Paperback] Review

If you ever wondered why that low carb diet eventually stopped working or why that 1,000 calorie a day diet does not work for very long, this is the book for you.

Understanding why your body chemistry does what it does is a revelation.

All these diet books just lead you on.Diets do not work long term.You have to eat every 3 hours, eat adequate protein and not too much carbs to lose weight.

Weight lifting is more effective for weight loss than aerobics!

Low carb diets shut down your thyroid long term.Many people stay on these things, get more irritable by the day and do not lose weight.

I enjoyed the scientific explanation of thermogenesis.I won't ever be hoodwinked again.

Feed your body right, lift weights.I hope the word spreads..

The only downside of this book is the author's complete unawareness of the word "affect".He uses the word "effect" throughout the book.It drove me nuts!

He also does not know about you're vs. your.I guess it is not his job to know grammar.The editor of the book should have read it instead of just doing a spellcheck.

Otherwise, a very good book.

The Beer Drinker's "Diet" (Paperback) Review

I began my own common sense "diet" after New Years, cutting out the donuts, fast-food lunches, candy bars and sugared soda. I began to lose weight, but I didn't know what to do next. I haven't eaten healthy since army boot-camp 40 years ago, so I had no clue. My wife does weight-watchers, but it's too much of a hassle for me. Plus she can live on salad and veggies-I can't. This book reinforced that I was on the right track and helped fill in the gaps. Since it is not a diet, I can slowly phase-in his suggestions as I feel I need them. I'm lazy, so I haven't gotten around to exercising on a regular basis. Even so, I continue to gradually lose weight, have more energy and yet I never seem to be hungry. I'm also not afraid to have a beer or go out to a restaurant on the weekend. The author does care and responded very quickly when I emailed him with a question.

The Jean Nidetch Story: An Autobiography (Paperback) Review

On Columbus Day, October 12, 1923, Jean Slutsky was born in New York City. Her father was thin. Her mother was fat. Young Jean weighed only 7 pounds-plus at birth but grew steadily larger than she should, a roly poly baby, a chubby teen. She lost some weight to marry in 1947 an even fatter husband, Marty Nidetch, a happy-go-lucky bus driver. Their greatest joy was dining out together, always on the lookout for places that served free second helpings.

In September 1961, just before her 38th birthday, now a mother, 5' 7" Jean Nidetch weighed 214 pounds and sported size 44 dresses. Marty was 5'10" and weighed 265 pounds. In a supermarket that day a friend asked Jean when she was "due." Not pregnant, Jean was shaken. Within weeks she had enrolled in a New York City Department of Health Obesity Clinic, with a very rigid list of those foods and only those that might be and must be eaten. In the first ten weeks Jean lost 20 pounds but found no one at the Obesity Clinic who wanted to pat her on the back for her success. Any whining by Jean or other dieters was cut off ruthlessly.

Jean decided that she would never lose the 74 pounds the Obesity Clinic demanded without sympathetic overweight friends who could empathize with her struggle. Going it alone with no "atta girls" was not for Jean. She called six girl friends together and told them the drastic diet she was on that had made her shed 20 pounds (despite nighttime cheating with chocolate marshmallow cookies). Their first reaction: "You don't look it!" (Ch. 4, p. 41)

But the group kept meeting every week, pledged to follow the New York City diet. As Jean lectured away, part mother hen, part advocate, the group kept on growing. On October 30, 1962 Jean Slutsky Nidetch met her weight loss goal: down 72 pounds to 142, dress size from 44 to 12. And her friends did well, too.

Soon, with some legal help, Jean founded WEIGHT WATCHERS, INTERNATIONAL. And the rest, as they say, is history. Its 1961 creation, the weekly adult education, weigh-in and support group meeting, remains at its core.

I found this a fascinating read, full of insights and tips. For example, early on Jean decided there had to be a reason why some people are thin. Did it have to do with their eating style? She soon noticed that thin people put their forks down between bites. Fat people never set down a fork! They gestured with their forks. Their forks were almost an extension of their personality.

And on and on: fat people lie to themselves. Every fat person has his or her "Frankenstein," a favorite food not to be given up under any circumstances, they say. For example, chocolate marshmallow cookies, doughnuts. Jean persuaded one man to give up doughnuts until he shed 88 pounds. He did. When he was where his weight should be, he rushed out for doughnuts. But almost gagged on them, it would seem.

Traditional diets, Jean said, you can't wait for them to be over and done with -- and then regain what you lost. Weight Watchers, Jean argues, is different: not a crash diet but a new, healthy steady as you go lifestyle. You are determined never again to be separated from the new, slim, healthy you.

This is not Mrs Nidetch's first book. It is chatty, low-key, modest. She never managed Weight Watchers, the corporation. But she was its founder and remains its number one spokesman in popularity. For a simple, brief (128 pages) first person narrative, THE JEAN NIDETCH STORY: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a convincing retelling of the old Horatio Alger rags to riches narrative of American entrepreneurship.

-OOO-

In the interest of full disclosure: I am a 6' 1" 74-year old male semi-couch potato, who spends most of my days reading, writing, lecturing and teaching occasional adult education classes. If I am lucky, I do an hour of exercise a day, including tai chi. I have been a Weight Watcher for three-plus years. I lost 11 pounds on my own just before starting the program. Under Weight Watchers, with more than one falling off then climbing back on the wagon, I have lost another 34 pounds. I need to lose 31 more to hit my maximum upper weight limit of 189 pounds. Obviously, I am not setting a record for speedy weight loss.

I am also a moderately active investor in stocks. In November 2007, over the objections of my financial advisor, I bought 20 shares of Weighwatchers International (NYSE: WTW) stock at $49.98/share. The last time I looked, my 20 shares had lost slightly more than half their value. I still own WTW for the same reason I bought it: to make myself read annual reports and think about and understand both the good and debatable things that WTW is doing for shareholders as well as for its employees and for overweight people like me. My doctor has prescribed membership for me. I admire most things about WTW, but do not shill for it. End full disclosure.

Body Confident promotes mental and physical well-being with a nurturing, supportive approach to weight loss through journaling. Offering a mix of instruction and writing prompts coupled with inspiring quotes and compelling art, this journal is in a class by itself.While many weight-loss books suggest that a reader keep a journal, none guides them as this one does toward a specific goal--that of losing weight and living a healthier, happier life. By helping them to learn and care about themselves more--both physically and emotionally--Moran teaches readers to see weight management as a positive, empowering process rather than a self-negating one.

Fit From Within : 101 Simple Secrets to Change Your Body and Your Life - Starting Today and Lasting Forever (Paperback) Review

Fit from within is a must read for everyone trying to lose weight and keep it off. It is not a regular diet book; actually it is far from a diet book, as it tells you not to diet but to eat as a healthy person. There are no menus, recipes or success stories but there is plenty of good advice that will provide you with everything you need to know to change your body and your life. To let go of the diet mentality and start eating as a healthy person is an important message in this book. You do this by eating three meals a day while sitting down, eating good delicious food that you enjoy, in portions that will satisfy your hunger, and making water your beverage of choice. But remember healthy people do not stuff themselves with salty greasy fast food! The author guides you to realizing your spiritual self and surrendering your life to God to be able to come to grips with your life and your eating habits. Don't worry, no breaching here, but do give thanks before and after meals! Another focus of the book is on living a good quality life all the way and not postponing your life till you reach your target weight. Stay centered in today, wear clothes that you like in your current size, groom yourself like a racehorse, develop your mind and talents, laugh and play and get plenty of sleep. As for exercise, walk more, join a friendly gym or discover yoga, don't do too much too soon or it will backfire! Above all be patient, this has to be for the long haul. As the author puts it " If you want only a different body, and not a different way of life, you can't expect the body changes to last, because there will be nothing to sustain them. In other words, you can't just lose weight and go to business as usual without becoming overweight as usual. This has to be for the long haul."
Other recommended books for more details on eating and staying healthy for life are:
1.Eating well for optimum health by Dr. Andrew Weil
2.Fight Fat after Forty by Pamela Peeke
3.Volumetrics by Barbara Rolls and Robert Barnett
