The Fat Flush Plan [Hardcover] Review

I bought this book, along with the cookbook, on Amazon a month ago and followed the diet plan closely for the first two weeks (I lost 13lbs.) and loosely for another 7-10 days for a total weight loss of 27lbs.It is not the easiest diet to follow, as the flax oil tastes really icky and the flaxseed fiber supplement drink is equally hard to swallow, but if you actually do what the author suggests, you Will lose weight.What I found the most difficult was eating eggs without salt and topping my protein portions with the flax oil as suggested.I think (I cannot prove it with personal research), that flax oil is much the same as linseed oil.It's not the initial taste, but the lingering aftertaste that put me off.I did learn how to cut back on carbs, fats and sodium (it's amazing what you can do with mustard and hot sauce) and did manage to modify my long term dietary intake, but after a month, I wanted to taste a grilled steak with garlic salt and maybe even a touch of butter, not to mention a crusty bit of bread!If you are more committed and have more willpower than I do, you can really lose a significant amount of weight on this plan and alter your palate.I have maintianed my weight loss (except for 4 lbs.), which is probably water weight due to increased sodium intake) and am very happy with the plan.I did lose a good amount of weight and learned alot on how to control portions and refined carbs without any real discomfort.The cookbook has lots of really good recipes, most of which could be elevated to stardom with some off-limits additions of butter!The mock mashed potatoes, using cauliflower was a real hit in my household and is still something I will fix regularly.This is an effective but not entirely painless diet plan suited for someone with real dedication.I thank the author sincerely for the many pounds I lost initially and for the good advice that I continue to follow.It's worth trying, especially if you have 20+ lbs. to lose!

Woman's Day Weight-Loss Plan: Lose Weight, Eat Right, Be Fit, and Feel Great at Every Stage of Life [Bargain Price] (Hardcover) Review

I bought this book when it was first published and immediately liked the user friendly presentation of vital information throughout the book and the conscientious effort to encourage the use of low glycemic foods before moderate or high glycemic ones as research at that time--and now--shows to be of value, even though it's true that balancing meals lowers the total glycemic load of the meal. In one of physician Andrew Weil's books on foods, he cites reseach suggesting that eating lower glycemic foods is probably best for us in general. While I don't recall whether or not this book takes glycemic load into account, I believe that using low glycemic foods will still be helpful because most of these also have low glycemic loads as well. The book contains diabetic food lists categorized into low fat, moderate fat, and high fat foods as well. The author does a great job of listing the numbers of whole, natural foods one can eat to obtain a serving of fat: so many olives or nuts, for example. It may be of interest to those of you following Weight Watchers to know that if you calculate the point values of foods recommended and follow suggested numbers of servings for each food category based on the total calorie diet you want (1200, 1400, etc.), you can leave the suggested number of servings as is or make one or two adjustments and come out with the number of points you should have a day for that calorie level via Weight Watchers. The author does not mention this. I figured it out on my own. The book is sprinkled throughout with pages and charts devoted to a variety of topics having to do with age, lifestyle, etc; and she gives concise tips one can follow to achieve one's personal, customized goals. There is a short collection of recipes near the end. While I didn't try any of these, they do look tastey. I have examined many other weight loss/diet books since this one, including the new 2007 Duke University Diet, and still feel that this book by Kathy Isoldi is the most useful and easiest to read for the dieter. Ironically, the "new" Duke University Diet seems to be a replica in part of this diet in terms of giving the option of eating a reasonable yet high number of protein foods per day. Ms. Isoldi was the RD for Dr. Louis Arionne who, in about 1991, published The Arionne Diet. That book also has this up to 8 or 9 servings of protein a day plan within it as one option but encourages readers to first try the higher fruit and vegetable/complex carbohydrate diet for weight loss as it is healthier. I've also been trying to find Dr. Arionne's book but it seems to be out of print and hard to locate. Ms. Isoldi's book, however, will do just fine in the meantime because it has more useful charts and lists in it as well as the protein concept. These books do not overdo the protein concept. Kathy Isoldi's book stops at 8 servings as more than that resulted in wrist fractures for women in a famous study.

I was crazy addicted to a lot of unhealthy things but this book ahowed me how to have things I love but in a healthier way. I've never felt deprived as the plan allows (in fact, encourages) eating all through the day. I am finally losing the pounds that run-of-the-mill deit and excercise couldn't budge after years of effort. I Couldn't be happier!

The Bible Cure for Weight Loss and Muscle Gain (Bible Cure Ser) [Paperback] Review

In the book The Bible Cure for Weight Loss and Muscle Gain Dr. Colbert explains how we get fat, and the all natural way to lose the fat. If you are starving on low-cal diets or low-carb diets try this plan and you will feel so much better. The diet is based on insulin restriction and increasing glucagon. Insulin tells the fat cells to store fat, while glucagon releases fat. In the book we learn how popcorn and breathmints can cause us to gain weight. This is caused by elevated levels of insulin. Dr Colbert includes an easy meal plan, information of supplements, and fiber. He also explains why we should avoid aspartame and use splenda, and stevia instead. The meal portions are huge and will keep you full. The secret is eating the right amount of each food group at every meal. A+++ book.
