The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Take Charge) [Paperback] Review

If you want the correct information about leptin, this is the book you will want to read. Byron Richards is a clinical nutritionist and the only author writing about leptin that will give you the correct information; the only author that will tell you the truth. It is easy to read and the science is represented in a format that is easily understood. What you learn will turn conventional thought on its ear. Other than the new science about the discovery (in 1996), importance and function of leptin, most of the nutritional science explained has been known for decades. Richards explains it in a way your biology teacher never could. Even doctors that know this science have fallen prey to the pervasive myths about diet in this country and are not giving patients correct information to change weight and improve health. My practitioner hadn't even heard of leptin and it is one of the biggest discoveries ever, in human biology.

I purchased all three of the books on Amazon dealing with leptin. (see my other reviews) The Leptin Diet is the only book that tells you the truth about the ever important issue of snacking. Richards is incredibly thorough in explaining what happens when your body is digesting the food you just ate and how snacking disrupts that crucial process leading to leptin resistance, insulin resistance and obesity. Eating according to Byron Richards' 5 Rules will restore the natural function of your hormones (particularly leptin and insulin)and is the only way to take weight off and keep it off. Don't be mislead by the title. This actually isn't a diet as we are all used to interpreting that word, but is actually the way all humans ought to be eating. I've tried many diets (the reason my leptin was out of whack) including Weight Watchers. I always lost weight but had cravings for sweets and carbs while dieting that continually derailed the effort and made it especially hard to keep off the pounds lost. Richards explains why this happens with dieting and why, when you lose weight following the 5 Rules, your body is forever rid of cravings and your weight will stablize for life. Following the 5 Rules is an easy way to eat: three meals a day, no snacking, and not eating after dinner are three of the rules that turn people off right away. I know what you're thinking as you read this---I can't do that, I need my snacks to get me through the day and at night to help me sleep. My reaction was the same and I argued with a friend recommending this book why it was necessary to eat every 3 hours which is what we've all been taught since the late 70's. When my friend told me about the 5 Rules, one being to allow 5-6 hours between meals, I knew, immediately, I could not do it. Well, I proved myself wrong.

After the first 2 days, I could easily go 5 hours between meals and be satisfied. I now eat 3 meals a day eating whatever I like with the correct portions of protein and complex carbs. Remember when Americans used to eat like this? I'm 50 years old and when I was a kid we ate this way, running outside to play between meals. Our bodies were doing the work of digestion and calorie burning while we went about the business of living. I no longer snack between meals nor do I need a snack at night. In fact, the problem I have had with insomnia since college is gone. I had very little energy to get through a single day before reading this book. Now, I have more energy than I know what to do with, I no longer crave sugar and simple carbohydrates, I no longer need a nap every afternoon, and I am losing weight every day. The changes have been pretty dramatic for my friends, as well. If someone told me a few months ago that I would drink my coffee without sweetner or turn down dessert because it sounded too sweet, I would have told them flat out that they, obviously, didn't know anything about me. I think the biggest example of change that says it all for me was the day I realized that the chocolate bar on the kitchen counter had been there for a week without me really paying attention to it. The changes sneak up on you just like that as your body enjoys the changes you have made.

I predict The Leptin Diet will become the revelation this culture needs to face up the fact that we are not being given correct information from our government or the media. Snack food companies have a lot to lose if we all stop eating between meals. Snacking has become a national obsession and the advertising by these companies perpetuate it. Moreso, EATING has become a national obsession, not the natural bodily need it used to be. The human body isn't designed to be ingesting food all day. Richards will explain to you why the myth of eating 6 small meals a day is completely unhealthy. If you love your potato chips and cookies, you can choose to eat them as part of your meal, but you will probably find yourself disinterested in them after your body is back in hormonal balance. I know you have probably heard this before, but this book truly changed my life. Every human body needs this book.

The Leptin Boost Diet: Unleash Your Fat-Controlling Hormones for Maximum Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

The Leptin Boost Diet is the best eating plan I have ever followed. I have struggled with my weight all my life. Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to follow this plan. I lost 13 pounds the first week. For the first time in my life on an eating plan, I am not craving sweets or anything else. I am satisfied and know if I want to eat then I can. I select healthy foods and get to enjoy a variety of things to eat. I have been on all these eating plans that make me feel as though there is nothing to eat or food doesn't get to taste good. The Leptin Boost Diet incorporates a variety of foods and doesn't leave you craving. I have been in the obese category my whole life. I am pre-diabetic and when I follow this plan my blood sugar drops out of this category. I do need to watch my portions on fruit, but; I get to enjoy fruit again and significant amounts of it. For the first time in along time, I have hope. I can lose weight and enjoy food again. This plan isn't an extreme crazy concept someone decided to write about. On the contrary, the plan is balanced and incorporates healthy foods that every doctor and nutritionist recommends eating. I have had acne since seventh grade and use many products to help manage it. Since following this plan, my skin has never been so clear, and my skin looks ten years younger. I am a thirty eight year old mom of four. I haven't been on the plan for a long time but I want to see where this can take me. I no longer feel that I need to get a gastric bypass dealing with the negative affects of it, or possibly losing my life. My mood even changed. I didn't notice at first but I went off the plan for four days. I thought that time of month was coming because I was so emotinal. I went back on the plan and noticed my mood changed drastically. I didn't have that time of month my hormones were out of wack. I wasn't eating right. I have had a hard time with water retention that at times is uncomfortable. Following the plan has taken the excess water out of me. I no longer suffer with swelling and the stiffness that comes with it. The people who wrote the other reviews don't even sound like the followed The Leptin Boost Diet. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but don't knock something you haven't tried. The Leptin Boost Diet works! I am one who followed it! I look forward to the time to reshape my body for the first time. I lost 3 3/4" off my waist and 3 3/4" off my stomach all in one week. What a great book!

The Fat Resistance Diet: Unlock the Secret of the Hormone Leptin to: Eliminate Cravings, Supercharge Your Metabolism, Fight Inflammation, Lose Weight & Reprogram Your Body to Stay Thin- (Paperback) Review

I have been overweight my entire adult life (I just turned 50); I suppose I'm Dr. Galland's poster child for "the weight goes on and never comes off, no matter what you do."I have steadfastly refused to "go on a diet" - I don't want some temporary program that I do for a while and quit, I need a way to change my lifestyle, and this book is showing me the way to do exactly that.I lost 30 lbs. in the first month alone (and 45 in two months); I'm looking for a total loss of over 100 lbs., and for the first time in my life, I actually have hope that it will happen.

Without getting too deep into technical detail, the diet amounts to a kind of biochemical healing from the effects of years of bad eating habits.I have more energy, my general mood is better, even my fingernails are healthier.My doctor is getting ready to take me off blood-pressure and cholesterol medications.

The beauty of it is that I'm not walking around hungry all the time.In fact, I had to ask my wife to make some of the salads a little smaller because they left me feeling stuffed.The recipes are, for the most part, delicious, and we're already finding some creative ways to adapt the principles in ways we prefer.

The three-stage approach is helpful -a brief, fairly radical Stage 1 to "flush out the system" and retrain the taste buds, as well as get some quick early results to boost morale.Stage 2 is geared to more moderate, sustainable weight loss (adding in more grains and more variety than Stage 1), and Stage 3 is for long-term lifestyle maintenance.We were so encouraged that we did Stage 1 twice through before moving into Stage 2.

The thing I like best is that this shows me a way that I can live the rest of my life - true principles that really work, that I can simply live by and not worry about.

-----

A brief postscript (October 2006) - I have now been eating this way for eight+ months, and I am down 90 lb. from when I began.I am off all my blood-pressure and cholesterol medications; my BP is 110/60 (was 140/90), my cholesterol is 150 (was 230), my rest pulse is 54 (was 78).This stuff really works!

I should add to what I said above, by way of full disclosure, that the fridge-fuls of fresh produce we are now buying are considerably more expensive than the processed junk-food we were buying before, and food preparation is taking up quite a bit more of our time.But I would state unequivocally that those costs are easily worth the benefits of health and energy.

Product Description:
No more counting carbs, calories, or fat grams! This revolutionary diet plan works with your hormones to curb your appetite, boost your metabolism, and take the pounds off for good!

Cutting-edge research shows that losing weight is not about carbs, calories, or even willpower-it's about a hormone called leptin, and how it functions in your body. Leptin is your body's natural weight-loss mechanism: it curbs your appetite, jump-starts your metabolism, and when working properly makes you literally fat resistant-you will lose weight effortlessly and efficiently and never gain those pounds back.

If you're struggling to lose weight, chances are you are "leptin resistant"-your body no longer responds to leptin, making it impossible for you to slim down. The Fat Resistance Diet is the first and only eating plan designed specifically to combat leptin resistance and reprogram your body to start melting away the pounds. Using a breakthrough combination of anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing foods, the three-phase regimen delivers:

A loss of six to ten pounds in the first two weeks.
A loss of at least two pounds a week thereafter.
Fun, flavorful meals that make sticking with the plan a breeze.
An easy maintenance program that keeps you fat resistant for life.

With over 100 delicious recipes designed for maximum satisfaction and eating pleasure, the Fat Resistance Diet is the only diet you'll ever need-a brand new way to eat that will transform your body into a lean, fat-fighting machine.
