The Don't Go Hungry Diet [Paperback] Review

Over the past 25 years I have been training clients in bodybuilding, fitness, and martial arts.In the diet arena I have often felt uncomfortable giving the same standard industry "advice" about eating 6 meals a day, not eating carbs, no food after 7.30pm, the list goes on....This is because of the massive variation in results witnessed with different clients under the same advice. Dr Amanda's book clarifies and destroys many of these myths with hardcore scientific research and real world testing.

If you are struggling with your weight you must buy this book immediately.

Grab a highlighter and read it until you understand the content well enough to teach it. Once you learn how to tune into your body's signals you will be on the road to success. Readers will also discover that if you arrive at your goal weight by sheer willpower you will have inadvertently turned your body into a super efficient fat storing machine. You may win the battle but will lose the war big time. In other words you will ultimately get fatter and fatter. Not surprisingly, as determined as you may be to stick to your "diet" when you go up against millions of years of evolutionary development you will ultimately fail.

The book will show you how to prevail by working with your body rather than against it. No fuzzy new age theories here. The author is not a celebrity trainer to the stars, she is a is a molecular scientist with a PhD from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, who has spent her professional life in this area of research. This stuff is all backed by hard science and based on how our bodies actually work.

A word of warning. The primary concepts taught in this book are very simple but can be easily misunderstood by anybody simply skimming through the book. Yes, you will never go hungry on this diet but first you must get back in tune with your own physical signals. Some chronic dieters have lost touch with their natural signals and re-acquainting yourself with them is a key component of Dr Amanda's approach.Detailed steps are provided.

The book is clearly written, thoroughly researched and referenced. If you want to lose weight all you have to do is read it thoroughly and apply the method diligently.

5 stars

Product Description:
The scientifically based way to lose weight and keep it off forever. Whether you've tried all the diets but find you just keep putting the weight back on -plus extra- or simply want to lose the weight and keep it off forever, this is the book for you, with real solutions based on real science.Like many women, Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis began dieting in her teens despite being a normal weight. Over the next few years she tried all kinds of diets and six years on her weight had ballooned; she was now obese. 'I dieted myself fat,' Dr Sainsbury-Salis says. 'I'd lose a kilo or two, then just gain it all back plus more.' She also fell prey to binge eating, pigging out on pastries in between her dieting attempts. When in despair she finally gave up dieting, she decided to start a career in medical research so that she could find an effective way to lose weight.Today she is a world leader in the field of weight loss. Through her research, she discovered that the key to successful dieting is to understand how your brain regulates your weight and work with it, rather than against it, by never going hungry. Staying satisfied is the key to beating the 'famine reaction,' your body's way of protecting itself when you diet from what it perceives as a life-threatening food shortage. Once in tune with your body, it's easy to lose weight and keep it off. Amanda tested her theories out on herself, losing nearly 30 kilograms and keeping it off for more than nine years (and counting), then helped her husband to lose 20 kilograms.Now, in The Don't Go Hungry Diet, Dr Sainsbury-Salis explains the science behind her discoveries simply and effectively, then tells you how you, too, can lose weight more effectively and with less effort than ever before. With chapters on how to recognise and deal with a famine reaction and other scientific breakthroughs as well as on nutrition and exercise, plus 50 delicious recipes, this is a scientifically based plan that is simple for anyone to follow - and that works.

The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat [Paperback] Review

Let me begin by saying that I am a 100% believer in the paleo diet/ caveman diet concept.I am a national-level olympic weightlifter and have tried every combination of high/low carb/fat diet to find something that allowed me to stay in the same weight class as I got older.The only thing that has ever worked is the paleo diet.

For a good, concise description of the paleo diet, search for it on wikipedia.

Having said that, I will now be critical of this book.I found this book to be very verbose and never provided a convincing argument for the paleo diet.Very little evidence was provided that the diet described in this book was what was eaten 20,000 years ago.Most of the argument for this diet was modern research on how ingredient X (e.g. omega-3 fatty acids) is good for you.I have heard excellent evidence supporting the paleo diet during a few lectures by a scientist that studies coprolites (few thousand year old petrified excrement), unfortunately, similar evidence is not in this book.

Furthermore, there are a few technical issues I have with what is presented in this book.I have a PhD in theoretical chemistry.Having gone through graduate school, I know that just about anyone can get a PhD or become faculty if they are patient.Because of this, I'm immune to the Doctor/Professor name dropping used throughout this book.

Repeatedly, the author asserts that chloride from salt causes the body to become more acidic.Offhand, it is not at all clear to me how this could happen.Chloride ions in solution are basically inert.I have to believe that this conjecture is wrong.

The author also makes repeated comments about how bad salt is for you.A few years back, there was an article in the journal Science (one of the two highest tier scientific journals) about the politics of salt.The article describes a political agenda to show that salt caused medical problems.A few hundred million dollars and a half dozen project leaders later, the program was shut down because the researchers could not prove what the politicians wanted.I'm not suggesting that people should eat a lot of salt, since cavemen ate much less sodium and more potassium than we do today, but I am suggesting the health problems blamed on salt have sketchy research backing them up.

In spite of this book's problems, it is worth reading.The description of the paleo diet is good enough to be effective when followed.
