Product Description:
Richard Lipman, M.D., has successfully treated overweight and obese patients for the last 20 years. He is the best-kept weight-loss secret to Miami s rich and beautiful. His credo has always been Diets don t work! Dr. Lipman believes that the flood of diet literature and reality shows about fun and easy weight loss are misleading, leaving still-overweight people looking lazy and weak. The diet industry and media encourage people to feel bad about their body size and then play to their unrealistic hopes to lose weight easily.In The 100-Calorie Secret, Lipman shows that very few warnings and urgings about what we eat are true good or bad. There are an absurd number of myths about what you should or should not eat. Lipman reveals some astounding facts about diet and exercise. Does eating late at night make you fat? Are olive oils and nuts good for you? Does drinking lots of water help you lose weight? What about all these healthy foods like brown rice and whole grain breads?According to Lipman, America is just breaking free from a decade of low-fat and low-carb diet obsessions that have not changed a thing. Although Americans spend billions on a vast diet industry, most people who do lose weight regain between one-third and two-thirds within the first year. Constant diet failure leaves overweight people with overwhelming feelings of frustration.Dr. Lipman dares to call the minority who are thin and do not struggle with their weight lucky. According to him, Skinny people are simply born that way! Lipman cautions not to confuse skinny people s lifestyle with real weight loss advice. Imitating their food habits won t help anybody who is overweight. Lipman is also concerned about all the free weight-loss advice from unqualified sources. Every TV guide, magazine, or newspaper today promotes some lose weight quick and easy gimmick. In his new book The 100-Calorie Secret, Lipman reveals some astounding facts about diet and exercise and delivers a sure-fire, tailor-made method for how you can lose weight and keep it off. Lipman shares for the first time his most effective secrets to successfully manage your weight without having to go on a diet or engage in exercise programs. His method is easy to remember and fully sustainable, since it doesn t involve deprivation or having to eat or drink things you don t like. You will discover secrets to which foods will make you feel full and prevent hunger. Lipman s method is surprisingly simple and can be administered without having to measure anything, prepare special meals, or shop for special ingredients. This book does not contain one single recipe. Lipman s method fits right into our everyday environments and deals with the reality of Americans lives today, including issues like eating out, fast food, and eating and snacking on-the-go. The 100-Calorie Secret is a must-read for anybody who wants to lose weight without suffering, having to exercise, or be on a diet that will make them gain the weight back the day they stop that diet.

You Can Think Yourself Thin: Transform Your Shape with Hypnosis (Paperback) Review

I wanted to read this book because I have always struggled with my weight since having my two children. Although more traditional diets have worked for me in the short term I never seem to be able to maintain the weight loss so I was fast reaching the conclusion that I needed to work on my mind as well as my body. Ursula James' book 'You Can Think Yourself Thin' came along at just the right time for me and I have been absolutely astounded by the effects of reading this book and listening to the hypnosis tracks. I had never tried anything like this before and was even a little skeptical but not any more!

The book works on the premise that if you are going to lose weight successfully you will need to deal with any issues you may have. These could include lack of sleep, your environment, relationships with others and your personal history. You may not think that there is anything you need to deal with but, as Ursula James says, if you only follow 20% of the suggestions you will be successful. All of the language in the book is extremely positive and as you are reading it you feel that she is addressing you directly. Everything she says is very thought provoking and even if it doesn't always appear relevant there is always something you can associate with it. There is also a lot of repetition which is good because it reinforces all the key messages she is giving. The most important message is all about taking control and this is a recurring theme in every chapter.

The book is broken up in to nine chapters which help you think about all the different stages of your life, starting with the past then moving into the present before addressing the future. All of these stages are accompanied by different tracks on a CD and you are told when to listen to these. There are a number of tasks which she asks you to do such as clearing out your wardrobe and dedicating at least an hour a week entirely for yourself all of which are helping you to create a positive self image.

The hypnotherapy tracks are amazing especially if you have not tried anything like this before. I was very impressed at how easily and seamlessly I was taken into a 'deep focused state' You don't always remember what has been said but the idea is that after you have listened your subconscious will work on the suggestions made while you are sleeping. After I got used to them I found that I really enjoyed these sessions and there were quite a few of them because although you only listen to the past and present tracks once, you are required to listen to the future track twenty one times. This is because apparently it takes three weeks to either make or break a habit. Also, the CD is always there for any future use particularly if you feel you are starting to fall into your former bad habits. I'm hoping I won't need to use it too often.

The effects that this book and the CD have had on me have been wonderful. I have been reading and listening for the last month and I really feel like I am a changed person and I have also lost ten pounds in weight without even trying. I no longer snack between meals and I am no longer finishing off all my young daughters' leftovers which was possibly my worst failing. It's not even as though my willpower has improved - it's just that I don't want to do these things any more. I seem to have lost my taste for sweet and sickly things, I have slowed down my eating and therefore improved my metabolism and I'm drinking much more water. Also my motivation for exercise has increased dramatically and I am no longer finding excuses for avoiding it. In fact now I'm actively looking for opportunities to exercise. I feel healthy and I also feel confident and I'm much more able to take difficult situations in my stride. Of course, the proof will be in how I feel three months for now but I do feel more positive that I will continue to lose weight and then maintain it.

I cannot praise this book enough and I really do feel that through reading it and following the instructions that it has changed me. I've also talked about it with so many friends who have all asked to borrow it but I'm afraid I told them to go out and get their own copies. This one's mine and I'm keeping it just in case I need a dose of positive thinking again! NB I wrote this review about three months ago when it appeared on www.thebookbag.co.uk under my name. Since then I have lost a further eight pounds, I am a clothes size smaller and I still feel great!

With this program, readers learn how to take themselves deep into their subconscious minds and change the thought patterns that allow them to discard negative habits and create new, more healthful ones-and all without having to suffer through grueling exercise or food deprivations.

Read this book and let Ursula James help you think yourself into the body you've always desired, and the confidence you deserve.
