Refuse to Regain!: 12 Tough Rules to Maintain the Body You've Earned! [Hardcover] Review

Smart and sophisticated, Refuse to Regain is a well written and well researched book that is a must read for anyone serious about being healthy. Although the book is geared primarily to people who are struggling to maintain weight loss, it is actually a fascinating read that would be valuable to anyone, as it lays out the basic principles for how to eat healthily and explains why so many Americans are overweight.Dr. Berkeley manages to present state of the art medical research in a way that is easy to grasp and her point of view is very convincing. Unlike other books about diet and lifestyle, this one is actually a good read! And there really are not any other books out there that address the specific question of what to do after you've lost weight to keep off the pounds. Kudos to Dr. Berkeley!

Product Description:
Diets work, but what good are they if the weight returns? Statistics show that 80 to 90 percent of dieters regain every lost pound. This fact represents the largest and least addressed problem in obesity management. The recidivism of dieters fuels a $30 billion weight-loss industry, an industry that would shrink like Al Roker's waistline if the newly-thin could only make weight loss stick. But here is the problem: The skills needed to maintain a new, smaller body size are not obvious or intuitive; they must be taught. Inexplicably, books that deal successfully with ways to prevent regain have gone unwritten. Refuse to Regain, by longtime weight-management authority Barbara Berkeley, MD, fills this void. Berkeley, former medical director for the Optifast program and founder of Weight Management Partners, is a board-certified internist. She continues to have close ties to Novartis Medical Nutrition (recently acquired by Nestle), producer of the weight-loss supplement Optifast, which has 300 weight-loss centers nationwide.

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

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!

The Fat-Burning Bible: 28 Days of Foods, Supplements, and Workouts that Help You Lose Weight (Paperback) Review

I bought this book after seeing a few bad reviews along with all the good ones.Some critics where fair, there is a lot of things in this book that have been said before, but honestly, when was there a big revolution in getting healthy?The only new things in this category are fad diets and we all know they don't work.This book is very well written and it is not only written for the grossly overweight who have tried everything, but it is also written for people who are trying to help health issues such as high cholesterol and diabetes.Mr. Shilstone does a very good job explaining why things do and do not work rather than just saying it.All of the food recipes work well and he makes sure to make the point of not leaving large groups of foods off your diet, also everything he suggests is very satisfying food that tastes good too.

The supplements can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to taking lots of pills every day.As for the "9 foods that burn fat" that another reviewer pointed out don't exist, the actual title of that chapter is "foods that burn fat", the chapter number is 9, so that is just a misunderstanding.This book is more about fixing your matabolism so that you can lose fat and not lean muscle mass, if that is not your goal, or you are not willing to invest an hour a day to exercise, you will not fully benefit from this book.With that said, do not be scared by the full hour, this is not a "gym rat" type of workout, it is not designed to become a bodybuilder, it is set up to get your muscles into shape to burn excess calories.

Asian Slim Secrets (Paperback) Review

This book is okay, and it has some good recipies in it, but it is a very simplistic book, and doesn't say a lot that you don't already know.It's not that expensive, so if you are looking for a quick read on Asian food, it's fine, but this book is not going to change your life or give you the "secret" to weight loss.

The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Paperback) Review

This is a wonderful little book, lacking in B.S., and the author doesn't pretend he knows it all. He says this works for him and has worked for people he's worked with. He freely admits it's experiential and he offers a money back guarantee saying that if you follow what he says and it doesn't work, he'll refund your money on the book. That's very refreshing. His writing style is unpretentious and very readable. I like this book a lot.
