Lose the Weight You Hate [Paperback] Review

Lose the Weight You Hate [Paperback]I heartily promote reading Dr. Shoemaker's books.I have read his other books as well.He is so down to earth and accurate because of his background in Chemistry.Besides reading his books, I have taken his visual test on line, which proved I had a neurotoxin mediated illness.My weight gain was due to this.Then I fought for months to finally, after 12 years, to get a positive result for Lyme infection.He was too far away to go to for the problem, but my doctor followed his protocol.I also used his little less than $10.00 eye tests to monitor my recovery and also to test the rest of my household, who fortunately had no problem.

His diet and advice are great.

Product Description:
Finally, a weight loss book that not only is enjoyable to read, but is also jam packed with "how-to-do-it" based on 20 years of clinical practice and obesity research.The No-Amylose Diet (bet you haven't tried it yet) is a fresh approach to a tired subject that usually features some variation on the wrong-headed ideas that "the way to lose weight is to cut back on calories, avoid fat and get small amounts of exercise regularly."Sorry, we have tried that approach for years and it just doesn't work.Just look at the maintenance rate for patients who use the "expert advice."Less than 10% of patients lose 30 pounds and less than 5% of that group keeps the weight off at 1 year follow-up.That advice is worthless, yet just look at the New Years' resolutions to push away from the table and go for a 30 minute jog.That's no way to lose weight! It won't work for very long.
And it can't.Fat storage is a complex process that is based on genetically controlled insulin levels and the response of insulin to the rate of rise of blood sugar following a meal.The controlling factor on insulin release isn't the number of calories we eat, but the effect of those calories on blood sugar.Foods that turn to sugar (glucose) quickly, like all amylose starches, corn syrup (low-fat foods make us fat), maltodextrins and table sugar (sucrose) set off the insulin fat storage machinery like crazy.Most of us with weight problems really aren't self-indulgent overeaters.Most of us hate our extra weight and wish we could eat like those skinny friends of ours who eat more than we do!
Lose the Weight You Hate takes us seriously, as well as our obesity related health problems.Cholesterol?Boy, have we been sold a bill of goods!Learn what really is going on with cholesterol (Chapters 10 and 11) before you swallow another statin drug that you might not need.How about the CDC talking about the national explosion of diabetes and obesity?They want us to think it is all because of our triple cheeseburgers and fries.Wrong!The chapter (14) on environmental acquisition of diabetes and obesity will knock your socks off.Learn what immune system factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines (yes, it is time to learn the medical terms), do to our insulin receptors (and therefore our insulin storage of the sugar we eat as fat).Look why our environmental exposures are the greatest threat to our waistlines.But there is hope when facts about the health effects of our changing lifestyles and our increasing use of chemicals act as a basis for improved weight control.
Even better, Chapter 13 will show you how an FDA approved medication, Avandia, currently marketed to help treat diabetes, actually is a fantastic weight loss aid in those folks with "insulin resistance."In an academic paper, featured at the 83rd Endocrine Society meetings this past June (2001), the author proves that avoiding amylose and adding Avandia gave the most difficult weight loss patients he treats a terrific boost in burning fat.Moreover, look where the ladies lost the weight-their hips!How many patients would like to lose their tummy safely, with a diet that is a new, enjoyable lifestyle not an exercise in self-torture.
Speaking of exercise, if you are like most of us, you don't have the minimum of 12 hours per week (that's right, 12 hours)to sweat off those few pounds.Quit being a masochist!If you want to exercise and have the time, great, have fun.But don't think that walking 3 miles an hour will do anything significant for a jelly roll.It just won't work. With 18 chapters, case studies and 50 enjoyable original recipes mixed in with hard science and an amusing outlook on life and weight loss, Lose the Weight You Hate is worth reading over and over again. 455 pages, index, glossary and appendices and a chapter on Childhood Obesity complete the text.

Diet Failure...the Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry Key to Losing Weight - And Keeping It Off! (Paperback) Review

Diet Failure...the Naked Truth: The Brain Chemistry Key to Losing Weight - And Keeping It OffPhoenix Gilman is one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in the world of diet and health.Her passionate cry for sanity in such an insane world chock full of so-called experts and pundits stands out above the rest and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her about this book on my podcast show.Her enthusiasm for seeing lives changed through some rather basic, common sense alterations in diet is more than refreshing in this day and age when everybody thinks they have THE answer to obesity and disease.

What will you get from reading DIET FAILURE...THE NAKED TRUTH?Just that--a no-holds-barred, easy-to-read guidebook for implementing a health strategy that will have you well on your way to looking and feeling better than you ever thought possible.Phoenix is one of the rare few today who understands the negative role of insulin and elevated blood sugar levels as the source of weight gain and prominent health calamities such as Type 2 diabetes.And what stimulates the rise in insulin--carbohydrates!

Applying three decades of knowledge and experience working directly with people as well as voraciously researching all the latest studies, Phoenix is on top of her game and stands prepared to provide real education to people who are seriously concerned about their weight and health.What's most amazing is that none of this information is new, but she packages in such a way that you instantly become a believer in the concepts despite the fact that many of them go directly against everything you've ever heard about a healthy lifestyle.

Prepare to be challenged and then changed forever after reading this book.You'll look good naked on the outside and feel fabulous on the inside, too.THANK YOU Phoenix for staying true to the cause you believe in so strongly and I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing for many more years to come!

The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose Weight (Paperback) Review

The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose WeightI don't do stress well at all!After years as a first grade teacher and a stressful personal life, stress almost hospitalized me.Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep.I was running on a pure histamine.My adrenals were shot-no emergency energy!I was covered with rash, depressed when I could come down enough.My muscles were wasting away.Then my thyroid crashed and I could barely drag my legs around to walk.After the thyroid started up again, the doctors "blood type diet" didn't do much.Then I saw an article on Dr. Talbott in a magazine and followed the advice while I waited for the book to arrive.I've only been on the plan for 10 days and the depression is gone and, oh, yes the brain fog.I can do 30 minutes a day on my crosstrainer.I am sleeping better and feel more positive.All this after I had to quit work five years ago because this syndrome is so debilitating.Great book!Read it!Use it!It's for everyone since we're all living under stress.I'm into The Cortison Connection now.I fell like I'm giving myself a second chance at life and loving it.
If you're tired of starving to loose weight and want to eat to achieve a healthy body and spirit, this is the best.I don't have those awful sugar cravings anymore. Did I mention I was on heavy Prednisone for five years and had drug-induced hypoglycemia?Anyway, this food plan (it's not a diet because you're never hungry) is perfect.I was never able to get the weight to drop off and now it's coming off.
Thanks, Dr. Talbott.People like you come along far too infrequently.Penecillin and the polio vaccines for the 20th century.Obesity for the 21st!If anyone should question this books importance, open your eyes to how few fit people you see.We've been "digging our own graves with a spoon"! Examine the statistics.It makes perfect SENSE. It's soooo simple!

Product Description:
In his best-selling The Cortisol Connection, Dr. Shawn Talbott explained how elevated levels of the cortisol hormone, when triggered by stress, will increase appetite, enhance fat storage, disrupt blood sugar control, and eventually lead to obesity that can cause diabetes and other serious conditions. This concise follow-up puts Talbott's cortisol control, diet, and exercise ideas into an accessible format.
The Cortisol Connection Diet shows beleaguered dieters how to eat for quality and for quantity at every meal. It focuses on the quality of carbs, fats, and proteins as well as the quantity, and explains how to use food, exercise, and dietary supplements to control cortisol and blood sugar. Most importantly, the book shows readers how to change their metabolic response to food and shed those seemingly impossible last 20 pounds. Included are a three-week log to chart diet, exercise, and supplements; and a sample regimen for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and supplements.
