Rev It Up! The Lifestyle Diet That Puts You in the Driver's Seat [Paperback] Review

Rev It Up The Lifestyle Diet That Puts You in the Driver's Seat [Paperback]I meet Tammy Beasley in October '09, after she gave a talk to our running group. She was in the final stages of getting her book published, and I've been counting down the days until it was up for purchase.Her book is based on a program she has ran for years in our area, and not only does she give you a practical approach to eating healthy, but she backs it up with solid research and a huge dose of motivation! Thank you, Tammy for going through all of the effort in putting this in print for all of us to enjoy!

(And just for anyone who may wonder, my comment is completely unbiased.I am not a personal friend of hers, but a stranger whom she took time to answer many of my questions. In addition, Tammy emailed me several articles and information from her program just to get me started.She is a very kindhearted, intelligent, and went the extra mile to help me out 'just because' that is the type of person she is.)

Product Description:
What Is Rev It Up? Have you ever felt that you and your body are moving in opposite directions from each other? If your answer is "yes", then Rev It Up! is the book for you! Rev It Up! is a new approach to living well. It looks at metabolism first-how the body works-and why the traditional way of "doing diets" isn't enough. Your body as a car, your metabolism the engine, and food and fluid its fuel set up the analogy that runs throughout the program. It is progressive from week to week, building on the principles learned in a step-by-step approach. It's user-friendly, simple in presentation but complex in its power to change a person's perspective of living well. Consider this book your driver's manual, full of instructions, suggested tools to use, and reminders to guide you along the road. You can understand what your body's signals mean and how to respond. You can know the signs of wear and tear, when to slow down or speed up, and when a tune-up is necessary. Rev It Up! is a program that initiates one change at a time, creating a different way of thinking about the body and its relationship with food and exercise. A program that encourages each person to own the changes he or she creates - and most importantly, maintain those changes. May your Rev It Up! journey lead you to a healthier lifestyle, a more confident mindset, and a life well-lived!

Product Description:
"When you start a diet, the first thing you lose is your mind." --Bradley Trevor Greive
With his trademark wit and humorous animal photographs, BTG explains that the true motivation for losing excess weight and keeping it off is purely to enjoy a better quality of life, to get the most out of our brief time on this earth.
Dieting Causes Brain Damage identifies the most common causes of weight gain as well as the perils of extreme dieting, suggesting that the number-one lesson is to "Keep your mouth shut." This reduces the number of calories consumed and stops you from constantly whining and making excuses about your appearance.
You don't need a PhD., millions of dollars, plastic surgery, a library of fad diet books, or a Day-Glo Lycra bodysuit to get into shape. Eating well, enjoying quality sleep, and getting a little exercise is the key to weight loss and personal health and fitness.
This wonderful gift book is for anyone who would like to be in better shape and could use a few laughs along the way--a uniquely refreshing guide to looking, feeling, and living well that is free from false promises, tasteless recipes, and leg warmers.

Weight Management for Your Life: Ten Steps to Prepare You for Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle (Paperback) Review

Weight Management for Your Life: Ten Steps to Prepare You for Adopting a Healthy LifestyleDr. Charles Goldman, who is a psychiatrist, writes about weight management from the point of view of someone who believes that most people can manage their weight and are not, as some authorities believe, at the mercy of their genes.He believes in a rational, studied approach to taking off excess weight and keeping it off.His book is the very embodiment of common sense guided by expertise.As such it will disappoint those looking for a quick fix, and unfortunately will not be able to compete in the bookstores with titles that promise pie in the sky and in your stomach too.

There are 14 chapters in the book.The first ten constitute a "ten step" program for a healthy lifestyle beginning with "Step 1: State a reason to change your behavior," through "Step 2: Choose a realistic weight range," through learning the basics about diet and exercise, to some commentary on alcohol, drugs and addictive behaviors to "Step 10: Create a plan and 'routines.'"

Chapter 11 consists of "easy action steps" related to the steps in the first ten chapters, such as writing out what you want to do, making estimates, consulting with sites on the Internet, consulting with professionals such as doctors, counselors, weighing yourself, doing physical exercises, and diagramming social relationships.Goldman even recommends that you watch the movie Supersize Me (2004).

Chapter 12 is report on research on weight management, while Chapter 13 concentrates on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.The final chapter is a summary and ends with Goldman's careful and considered statement: "Changing one's health-related behavior occurs in stages, must be based in reality, takes willpower, education, practice, supportive friends (and family), and persistence, and it helps to have some kind of plan with goals.There is no magic and it will be difficult, but becomes much easier the more you do it." (p. 123)

Notice that Dr. Goldman believes in "willpower."One of his exercises is to teach people to say "I won't" when they start to say "I can't."He believes that such a "reframing" can be "a very powerful illustration of taking full responsibility for your behavior."He adds, "Once you get in the habit of saying 'I won't' it is not a difficult transition to learn to say 'I will!' and mean it.Thus, the existence of willpower is affirmed." (p. 30)

Goldman contrasts his position with that of Gina Kolata who wrote Rethinking Thin (2007) in which, Goldman reports, she "makes the argument that people have little control over their weight..."He quotes her as writing, "It must be that free will, when it comes to eating, is an illusion." (p. 109)

From a philosophic point of view the question of whether we have free will or not is a difficult one.However as a practical matter and as social human beings within the framework of a society of laws and responsibilities, there can be no doubt that free will is our reality.Consequently I am in agreement with Goldman that we can and should take responsibility for what and how much we eat, and for other lifestyle choices.

Goldman warns against too rapid weight loss and emphasizes that the hardest part is to maintain the weight loss.To do that requires permanent lifestyle changes.Goldman eschews the term "diet" because diets are something we go on and off of.Diets don't work for this very reason.He writes that research findings "teach us that rapid weight loss, e.g., losing 25 pounds in six months, triggers powerful mechanisms in the brain and body to send signals that we are starving.This results in an outpouring of brain chemicals that trigger strong cravings for food, in some cases irresistible." (p. 24)

One of the detriments to achieving a healthy weight is the influence of friends and family.If they are also aiming for a healthier lifestyle, they can be supportive and very helpful.However it is often the case that they will observe "your healthier lifestyle" and "assume you are in a constant state of self-deprivation, and will want to see you 'loosen up.'It is important for them to feel okay about their own 'indulgences.'" (p. 52)So resist their kind offers and have the wisdom to say, "No, thank you!"

Goldman warns against chisel words like "I need a break," or "I deserve a reward," or "I have accepted my body the way it is."He makes a very important point (and provides an answer to the siren call to backslide) with these words, "adopting a healthy lifestyle of eating less (especially 'junk' food) and exercising more has benefits that are independent of weight loss." (p. 53)I would add that these benefits include better health, a longer life expectancy, greater self-esteem, more energy, being more attractive (especially to yourself), not to mention setting a good example for friends and family.

I have one major disagreement with Dr. Goldman.He writes on page 106 that "common overeating...is neither a disease nor an addiction."But he equivocates on the following page with "The pleasure-based brain system affecting eating behavior is similar to the pleasure seeking part of the brain that drives some addictive behavior."(Note also the quote above from page 24!)I think that not only is overeating an addiction, it is one of the most powerful addictions and one of the hardest to break.You can quit smoking or taking drugs, but you can't stop eating.There's no cold turkey available.So for many people it is like an alcoholic trying to give up alcohol while drinking a little every day.It's tough.The obesity epidemic in America is fired by constant advertizing and relatively cheap food, but it is maintained by people who try but can't stop eating because their brain chemicals only reward them when they eat.

Be that as it may, I believe that the detailed prescription given in this wise and well-considered book will work for most people if followed faithfully.

Extreme Fat Smash Diet [Paperback] Review

Extreme Fat Smash Diet [Paperback]Lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks claims the book. And after reviewing it, I believe it just might be possible. Written by the author of last year's "The Fat Smash Diet," the idea of this seems to be, if you want big results, you'll have to push yourself beyond normal limits to attain them.

Once again, readers will find Dr. Smith's easy and friendly writing style. At the start of the book, you find out your "dieting type" and then quickly go from there. Since the book is set up for you to lose 12 pounds in 3 weeks, its organized in three 1 week cycles, which is 21 days. For each day, there is a menu plan (four meals a day) and a journal page you to write on. Know too that the exercise recommended each day is cardio. Other goodies include recipes, which easily make up about a third of the book, and a handy appendix ends the book (which contains useful info about BMI's, how to read food labels, etc.).

All in all, I feel like this is a great book that is well laid out and very user friendly. One caveat though. Following the plan may not be easy at times, and the book will tell you this outright. Nonetheless, it should benefit many who struggle with their weight loss demons. Also suggest Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if a shoulder problem keeps you from exercising.

Weight Loss: A Subliminal Persuasion/Self-Hypnosis [Audiobook]I was a sceptic until a fellow at a weight loss counselling group gave me this tape after I had complained that I couldn't control my eating binges.

I started walking and exercising.I felt better about myself than I had inyears!Not that I had lost so much weight, but mentally I was morepositive.Throughout the years, whenever I felt I needed a deep sleep or amental boost, I'd play the tape.Well, I moved out of the country and lostmy tape!I just moved back and I'm so happy to see it available throughAMAZON!

The Self-Hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Reach Your Perfect Weight [Hardcover] Review

The Self-Hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Reach Your Perfect Weight [Hardcover]I have successfully lost weight in the past being mean to myself, hating my body, and punishing myself with very low calories, forbidding any fun, and hard workouts.In the end--I still wasn't happy, or happy with my body, and I even injured my knee pushing too hard in a workout.

The Gurgeviches offer a better way.I love this program.I teach yoga, and these 'self hypnosis' sessions closely resemble guided relaxation and yoga nidra.As proof:today, in line at the grocery store, I picked up the new dark chocolate bar.After a few moments, I put it back!That's HUGE!It's the little things, like really learning to listen to yourself and 'eating whatever you want while reaching and maintaining your perfect weight'.

I work at a health food store, and people constantly spend up to $100 on pills, hoping they'll find the magic one that effortlessly melts the pounds from their body, and in the meantime putting some potentially dangerous stuff in their bodies.Try a healthier, more positive way!With this program you will end up LIKING yourself as well as looking and feeling healthier, which is what it's all about.

Warning:you might just get the magic solution!It really is wonderful to make some of these small choices, like forgoing a candy bar without being deprived.It's a change of paradigm, or just a different way of thinking about food and our relationship with it.I am learning to want the best for myself.Americans can definitely learn more in this department!

The book suggests you read the first three chapters, then you can begin using the cd and finishing the book.It has wonderful inspirational quotes, and background into the history and research behind self-hypnosis.It even has a foreword from Dr. Weil, whose name will tell you it's not a bunch of smoke and mirrors.The cd has about 7 tracks, 1 instructional then five of different hypnosis sessions (i.e. exploring our history with food, a rescue rememdy for cravings, etc.)The last track is a powerful, positive message about setting intentions.It's all very 'yoga-like' in a way, too, so if you love yoga, you'll find this book very familiar in many ways.

Secrets to Effective Weight Loss [Hardcover] Review

Secrets to Effective Weight Loss [Hardcover]I have had trouble losing weight for many years.The constant dieting and fad exercise equipment have not worked and left me feeling like a failure (with a larger waistline!).I finally found a reference that was easy to read and written in a way that was easy to understand.I read 'Secrets to effective weight loss' by Shaun Brodison over one weekend and found myself to be motivated to exercise and increase daily incidental activity (i.e. increasing the amount of physical movement during the day such as walking to the shops insead of driving my car, etc.).This book has many photos that visually show the exercises so I started to exercise immediately.I really liked the photos and the fact that the model looked like a fit and healthy person rather than someone who looked false with plastic surgery.I also immediately implemented the 12 week program that has has worked wonders - i feel fitter and healthier than ever before.

I would like to thank Mr. Brodison for the fantastic book that he has written and the difference that it has made in my life.I would highly recommend this book to anyone and believe it to be an essential tool in the commencement of any weight loss program!

The Self-hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Make Any Diet Work for You [Audiobook] [Audio CD] Review

The Self-hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Make Any Diet Work for You [Audio CD]Steven Gurgevich, Ph.D. specializes in mind-body medicine. As your guide, he leads you through a number of hypnosis sessions that are non-threatening and nurturing. Having someone in your life to encourage you is a very powerful force for change. Spending time reprogramming your thinking patterns helps to banish negativity so you can achieve the change you are seeking.

In the first session time is spent explaining how thoughts influence the body and how the body influences thoughts. Steven Gurgevich explores the dynamics of weight loss and explores how you can achieve your perfect weight. He gives insight into the origins of emotional eating and explains why diet beverages can actually cause you to gain weight.

In the second session acceptance and self control are encouraged and positive affirmations encourage new positive lifestyle choices. I love the part where you imagine you are going up stairs into a castle tower. I felt like he was reading my mind because for a long time I've had such a place to escape to and it brings a sense of comfort. In this tower, you sit in a chair and listen to a calming voice leading you to places where you can remove emotional obstacles and understand why you may choose certain foods for various reasons. This hypnosis sessions on this disk include: healthy habits, emotional barriers, self-love and acceptance, and self-control for cravings and temptations.

In sessions three there are various ideas that bring healing to your life. You may choose to spend more time enjoying the preparation of food or choose to step away from food and introduce other emotionally fulfilling activities in place of unconscious eating. I did think that the idea about throwing away food was not a good idea after dinner - instead freeze the leftovers and reheat the next day. This will allow you more time to exercise because you won't be spending so much time cooking. There is a morning motivation, before dinner hypnosis and a bedtime hypnosis.

Through listening to the three CDs, you can convince yourself that weight loss is a worthwhile achievement and you can start to reprogram your mind so your metabolism increases and your self-confidence is renewed.

If you prefer not to put yourself in a trance (it feels more like relaxing into words), you can just listen to the CDs while fully present and gain a sense of what it will take to make an ally of your subconscious. You can use positive affirmations and many of the ideas to establish healthier habits over time. A booklet is included with additional tips and techniques for lifestyle changes.

Lose up to 30lbs in 60 Days without Diets or Exercise - The Instinctive Weight Loss System - New, Groundbreaking Weight Loss Product- 7 CD's, Over 7 hours [CD] (Audio CD) Review

Lose up to 30lbs in 60 Days without Diets or Exercise - The Instinctive Weight Loss System - New, Groundbreaking Weight Loss Product- 7 CD's, Over 7 hours [CD]The best decision I ever made was to let go of my skepticism and buy this product. I was a non-believer in anything except good, old fashioned diets. I didn't understand how not dieting would help me lose weight.

I bought this system, and it has changed my life in many ways. First and foremost, I no longer look at myself in disgust. Although I'm not close to my ideal figure, I have hope, and look at myself in a better way every day. I have lost 33lbs so far, and it's been so easy.

The only downfall to this system is that it's very long. 7.5 hours. For me, there were a few parts that were not completely relevant. But looking at what it's done for me already, and my for my outlook on life, I would listen to 20 hours. If you have a lot of weight to lose, please do not diet again. I tried over 20 of them, and they do nothing but make you feel worse and guilty all the time. This system is great, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.

I strongly feel that it has saved my life, my marriage, and my hope. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product.

I Can Make You Thin: The Revolutionary System Used by More Than 3 Million People (Book and CD) [Hardcover] Review

I Can Make You Thin: The Revolutionary System Used by More Than 3 Million People [Hardcover]For almost 3 years now I have been handing this book and 'mind-reprogramming' CD to every patient who comes to me to lose weight, or who is caught up in the mentality of diets, scales, cravings, or overeating.

I am *delighted* that this version of "I Can Make You Thin" is finally available on Amazon.com rather than having to hunt it from the UK site. The long wait is over!

At the risk of making this book seem too simple, here are Paul McKenna's 4 golden rules...
1. When you are hungry, eat.
2. Eat what you want (not what you think you "should".)
3. Eat consciously and enjoy every mouthful.
4. When you are full stop.

I've seen other "I Can Make You Thin" reviews that dismiss the 4 rules as just obvious common sense. I'm not sure what common sense they can really mean since the rules make a mockery of the majority of get thin / lose weight approaches around. Rule 2 in particular certainly disagrees with the 'common sense' that I was taught as a medical doctor.

Even if the rules are common sense, McKenna needs to be given great credit for showing people HOW to live these habits. Hopefully you are buying this for the results, not just to have a fun read and a relaxing, new-wavy listen.

Yes, the coverpages are a bit hypey, but the inside is less so. The book is refreshingly thin :), jargon-free, and entertaining.

McKenna's style also involves techniques such as tapping (TFT/EFT), hypnosis and NLP . Hypnosis is what first made Paul famous, and I've seen NLP Practitioners review this and say they knew all of these tricks before. In NLP terms Paul is saying that the Golden Rules are the "model" for being "naturally thin". Just knowing all the geewiz psych techniques won't help if you have the wrong model as I suspect most NLPers do.

More importantly, you don't need any of these techniques to apply the 4 golden rules and lose weight.

Most people can go the book & CD, discover the Aha moments, and get started on transforming their relationship with food and their weight straight away.

There might be a group of people that could eat according to the 4 rules and not be thin, but I agree with what Paul says. For myself, I'm yet to meet such a person.

I have counseled people who thought it didn't work for them, but it turned out they hadn't gotten the rules into their behavior, so here are some extra pointers...

- Just listening to the CD over and over doesn't seem to be enough. The book plays a big part too. Expect to re-read the book at least once. You can succeed without the CD, so if it doesn't suit you, no sweat.

- Don't add more rules. Extra rules almost always conflict with the four golden rules. Must eat breakfast? No. Just eat when you are hungry. Have to eat only fresh food? Check you really want to eat it, and whether you might want to eat anything else a bit more. Etc, etc.

- Having trouble visualizing? Just act 'as if' you are visualizing, or on the CD just leave it to Paul.

- Don't make exercise the focus. Improved fitness will improve your chances of living longer, but unfortunately the best research evidence is that exercise doesn't help much in losing weight. Keep to the four rules, which are all about food and getting back in control.

- If you have a question or a difficulty, the answer is somewhere in the book. The book alone truly is comprehensive (unlike watching YouTube videos or reading this review.) Indeed the updates have covered the two or three remaining gaps I had found before, including the extra information for self-sabotage issues.

In summary, McKenna is not the only person to propose this way of eating, but his is the most accessible version I know about. His is also the most likely to reach out from the page and permanently change your thinking and your behavior, and thereby your weight.

You can buy his measly book just to prove Paul wrong :)

Oh and then come back here and add your own review. Let people know what your results have been, whatever they are. No one book/CD can fit everyone but "I Can Make You Thin" deserves way more reviews here on Amazon from people just like you who have been wondering if this might just be what you need.
