Buff Dad: The 4-Week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys [Paperback] Review

Buff Dad has good basic advice; identifying foods to eat and foods to avoid, and a little explanation about why.Some of the recipes sound awful, although I haven't tried any of them.It has lots of motivational, cheerleader type exhortations pitched at the ordinary Dad with a few pounds to lose.The photos of the author demonstrating the exercises are good, but limited and repetitive.In fact, everything here is repeated at least several times.The 280 pages could easily have been 50-60.But, that's a quibble since the price is right and the messages are clearly delivered.

Before: From Puffy Dad After: To Buff Daddy

Your Saturday workouts at the gym have been replaced by Saturday Little League games; your morning run has become running out the door to make the daycare drop-off; and your romantic (and healthy) sushi night has become family pizza with a side of crayons. While being a dad changes your life for the better in so many ways, it can also be detrimental to your waistline…and your overall health.

Enter Mike Levinson, a nutritionist and trainer to many star athletes, who put on fifty pounds after his wife had their first child. Taking his years of experience—from inside training camps and test kitchens—he developed the Buff Dad Program, transforming his middle-age spread to six-pack abs and helping many other dads like him lose weight, tone up, and improve their health and energy levels—usually in less than 28 days.

In this, the first program tailored with dads in mind, Levinson gives men the four-week game plan to get it done. The secret? Testosterone, a key fuel that boosts your body's ability to lose weight and build muscle naturally, yet something that is woefully deficient in most men's diets today. The Buff Dad program shows you how to incorporate testosterone 'powerfoods' into your meals to help you take the weight off. By combining this tasty and realistic nutritional plan with the Buff Dad Workout Blitz--targeted exercises just three times a week--you will be on your way to being the Buff Dad you want to be, and your family needs you to be.

The Fat Flush Cookbook [Paperback] Review

I started the Fat Flush Diet Plan less than 30 days ago and am happy to report a weight loss of 27lbs. in that short time frame!This cookbook is essential if you wish to follow the Fat Flush Plan!This diet is not totally easy if you really value the addition of salt or butter, but really effective!Flax oil is a primary ingredient and I believe it does promote weight loss in addition to many other health benefits, but it is not at all tasty, in my opinion. Try the mock mashed potatoes, using a cauliflower puree and several of the breakfast suggestions (eggs are vital to success), plus the smoothie recipes and you will lose weight and (most importantly, inches) in a short period of time!This book contains many delicious and health smart recipes, using ingredients you may previously have discounted, and the diet plan works. After a month on the plan, I craved salt on my entrees more than anything else, but I did lose a great deal of weight and inches and truly recommend the diet plan and cookbook to anyone committed to real weight loss and helpful insights to healthy eating.

Food Choice and Obesity in Black America: Creating a New Cultural Diet [Hardcover] Review

Eric Bailey outdoes himself in "Food Choice and Obesity in Black America: Creating a New Cultural Diet", 150 pgs, Greenwood ebooks.

If Doctors, Healthcare and the Fitness industries ever wondered why African Americans are not coming in droves, this book is a Must Read!

By simply overlaying Eurpean Ethnic ideals onto Black Americans, a disservice is being done to both ethnicities.Eric Bailey has a catch-phrase that should be on the tip of everyone's tongue in the aformentioned industries:"Culturally Appropriate".

In "Food Choice and Obesity in Black America", the author covers relevant background material to the growing obesity problem in the African American communities.Citing historical, familial, religous, peer and cultural reasons, there is evidence that a different approach should be taken with discussing weight loss, eating habits, exercise routines and social interactions between African Americans.

Bailey doesn't just lecture to White Doctors and African Americans in this timely book.He takes the time to explain why African Americans view Obesity and Food differently than European Americans.He also explains why African Americans should open up to their doctors, take the time to explain their cultural viewpoints in regards to body type, culture, food preparation.

Never once did I feel talked down to in reading this book, and I'm certain no one who will read "Food Choice and Obesity in Black America" will feel offended.

Bailey takes us on a cultural train ride through the eyes of African Amercians in regards to how they view weight loss and food through their community and how it differs from what is called 'mainstream america'.The last chapter is about what Eric Bailey terms "THE NEW BLACK CULTURAL DIET AND LIFESTYLE".He asks that each African American ask themselves six timely questions, honestly and openly about themselves, their culture, their family, their food, their reality and their body.

A sure winner in the fight against obesity for Eric Bailey.

The Hot Sauce Diet: A journey of behavior modification [Paperback] Review

Hiding way down on the Amazon list, this slim paperback with a colorful genie-out-of-the-bottle cover is probably the best (most readable, most honest, most useful, most entertaining, most informed) diet/weight loss book to come along in a while.The extent to which Americans are obsessed with this topic is directly measurable by how often (and how high) "diet" books appear on the best-seller lists (not to mention "The Biggest Loser" reality TV).What does this say about us?The current #1 on Amazon is "You: On A Diet...," and then there's "Body Clutter" a few ranks below. And then there were Atkins, South Beach, and Sonoma... All to no avail; we are still getting fatter. Why? The short answer, as Lance Armstrong might tell us, is that "it's not about the diet."

"The Hot Sauce Diet" sounds at first like just another also-ran, jumping on the bandwagon of "fad" or gimmicky dietary concepts, but the very opposite is the case: the title is mock-gimmick, and the key message is a subversive one: that all those best-selling diet books are phony emperors with no clothes, and that the only thing that ever really works is exercise.

When it comes down to it, one's body weight is determined by a very simple arithmetic equation: In - Out (calories in minus calories out/burned), but the end result is a matter of extremely complicated behavioral psychology."The Hot Sauce Diet" addresses this paradox.The author plays along with the gimmick (pouring hot sauce on his meals) but it's clear that the main reason he lost 70 pounds in a year is that he suddenly started running 25 miles a week (which is about 3500 calories, or the equivalent of one pound... per week).And what was it that enabled this orthopedic surgeon-author to suddenly begin, and stick to, this vigorous exercise regime?Probably the same thing that enabled him to get into, and make it through 4 years at, one of the top medical schools in the nation: one of those habits of "highly-effective people" called "discipline," a habit which is not distributed fairly amongst the rest of the population.

In my own medical practice, as an internist, I consistently find that the reason obese people stay obese is that they just don't move (and then the bigger they get, the more difficult it becomes for them to move).Even when they do move, they don't move nearly enough. They have no clue how much "work" it would take to burn about 100 calories.And then they often say things like, "I walk a lot at work."Fast food and supersized meals are partly to blame, but the main culprits are TV, lack of education (on the basics of nutrition & caloric expenditures), and a deficiency of discipline (a/k/a laziness). We all saw the foot-high stack of chocolate chip pancakes that Olympic gold-medal swimmer Michael Phelps consumed every morning (Lance eats the same thing).And one sees very few pot bellies crossing marathon finish lines.The truth is, it's not about the diet; South Beach or Rockaway Beach, Sonoma or Suffolk, Hot Sauce or Cinnamon... The key is to move, and the "Hot Sauce Diet" will motivate you and get you started.

A Bite at a Time: From the Heart to the Mind, Inspiration and Motivation for Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

There are tons of diet books and diets, tons of weight management books and programs. This book is none of that. This wonderful book is written by an admirable man who was once obese. He struggled with the problems and hatred that go with being the object of ridicule because of his weight. He understands.

Well, he lost over 200 pounds! How I admire him. I feel I've accomplished climbing Mt. Everest when I lost twenty. Katzoff understands how critical motivation is. He knows that when we're trying to lose or manage weight, we need constant help. Most of the time, however, we don't have a personal trainer to motivate us --- or anyone else.

Enter "A Bite at a Time." This wonderful book has all the motivation you'll need. You can read one or two pages a day or as you need them. First there is a quote from a famous person. Then a couple easy-to-read pages by Katzoff. He gives his take on the quote as it relates to weight loss and management and our deep feelings and needs.

Let me make this clear. The author has been through it. He has lost more weight and had a bigger struggle than most who read this book will ever have. So the words he writes are from experience. And that's the very best teacher.

If you want and need motivation in your weight loss or weight management program, this is a must-read. Keep it by your easy chair or wherever you land. Read a page or two daily or as you need it. The book is the missing part of a weight loss program and I highly recommend it to you.

- Susanna K. Hutcheson

Product Description:
A Bite at a Time is a book with a simple philosophy.It is not about revealing any miracle weight loss secrets, techniques, methodologies, recipes or plans.It is not a how-to manual or someone's recounting of what worked for them.On its pages you will find motivational quotations from some of the world's most influential people, and one man's interpretation and examination of their words in relation to weight loss, perseverance, and personal transformation. Having once been several hundred pounds overweight, Morris Katzoff understands the pain and torment of being an obese person trying to survive in a world full of stairs, glares, and stereotypes.He knows what it means to search within oneself and find the strength it takes to struggle through yet another day.As an accomplished entrepreneur, life coach, esteemed confidant, and inspirational ally to all, his motivational messages will impact your everyday life. After losing over 200 pounds himself, Morris knows how vital words of motivation and inspiration are to staying on track and achieving fundamental success.He acknowledges the manner in which words can influence the way people think and feel with the utmost respect.In compiling these quotations and expounding on them through personal experience and observations, Morris attempts to not only make this book a tool for personal transformation, but the ultimate device for long-term success. Each quote is accompanied by a unique and perceptive commentary meant to provoke thought and incite action.Some are intended to be emotional; some philosophical, while others are meant to inspire.Further exploring the quotations of those who have gone before, Morris repeatedly transforms a droplet of wisdom into a flood of motivation and encouragement. This book is ideal for any individual who has ever traveled down the road of weight loss.Whether you are just starting out, have already reached your goal, or like most, you are somewhere in between, this book will be your co-pilot and show you that you're not alone.It will encourage you to have hope and continue to remind you that even though there may be bumps or potholes in the road, there are beautiful views as well.It is by overcoming setbacks, that one learns they are capable of triumph.The philosophy behind A Bite at a Time is simply that weight loss is possible as long as you never give up.With this book, you will persevere, find comfort from true understanding and camaraderie, and learn what you are really capable of, and you'll do it all just "A Bite at a Time".
