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.

Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar(TM) Cookbook [Paperback] Review

I enjoyed reading Dr. Gotts book. It explains why we should omit flour and sugar from our diet and the benefits we get from doing so. Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook recipes include a wide variety from breakfast to desserts. My one criticism is the large amounts of artificial sweetener in many of the recipes. I would not use a lot of sweetener in the recipes myself, but I can understand why he included them in this book. I think this book could help us change our lives.

Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar(TM) Cookbook (Hardcover)

Time and time again I have asked my doctor for a magic pill to help me lose weight. I have tried every diet on the market. I might lose weight short term but it always comes back -plus. Of course, we all know there is no magic pill; it takes will power, commitment, and a plan. In 2006, Dr. Peter H. Gott offered readers a plan to lose weight in his book Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet. His latest book offers inexpensive and delicious recipes to support his diet.

Gott begins this book by answering question from his readers. One of the points I thought very important was to get rid of all flour and sugar products in your pantry. Another important point is to be prepared for special events. The Glycemic Index has always sounded confusing; however, Dr. Gott uses laymen's terms to explain it.

Cooking is one of my hobbies so I was eager to try the recipes. The first one I tried was Spicy Scrambled Eggs. The eggs are delicious and healthy. The recipe makes just the right amount for two people. The next one I tried was the Orange Smoothie; it serves two and is delicious. As in most cookbooks, you will find some you love and some you will not. The Tasty Chicken Wraps were a hit but the Mediterranean Bean Wrap was not. This is a good cookbook. The recipes are simple and user-friendly. Rush out and buy this cookbook for a healthier life and delicious eating.

Diets Don't Work ® [Perfect Paperback] Review

Everywhere you turn people are looking for the quick fix for losing weight and improving their health. Diet and exercise is a booming industry filled with many programs that are quick temporary fixes. Rebecca Cooper's Diets DON'T Work! Healing the Cycles of Yo-Yo Dieting & Emotional Overeating! Gets at the root of the problem - which is the problem! Too many people jump on the diet bandwagon hoping to "fix" their bodies, look like their favorite celebrity or improve their confidence and unfortunately millions end up suffering with eating disorders.

Rebecca's book is packed with information to help individuals understand why simply dieting won't address the problem of stuffing down your feelings and overeating when you can't handle life. This book is packed full of great exercises and enlightenment to help individuals look at the problem holistically and understand that without shifting beliefs, releasing negative thought patterns and learning healthy coping skills and living in a state of awareness they will continually suffer with disordered eating.

Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) [Hardcover] Review

I first read Joel Fuhrman, M.D.'s book "Eat To Live" May 2007 after my father died of heart disease. I have always been a vegetarian but I have always been overweight as well. I had 50 extra pounds to lose and my main goal has always been health over looks. I learned from his book that being a Vegan also means no processed foods or animal products of any kind. I love that book and lost those 50 pounds that I had never been able to lose before age 42.

After a year living the "Eat To Live" plan I read "Eat For Health" twice. The differences are huge. The biggest difference is that Dr. Fuhrman takes us Americans through 4 stages of gradual eating changes by doing some food exercises and stepping down animal products and processed foods. The only foods he asks us to eliminate immediately are all cheese, butter and transfats. I can see why he changed his point-of-view to gradually add vegetables, fruits and beans to our diets because otherwise it can be a shock to our typical way of eating and most people will reject it as they did in his book, "Eat To Live."

I find I need the extreme approach right off the starting line and I have learned to love vegetables and fruits. I feel that his gradual steps to eliminate meat and processed foods and grains was backpedaling from his original book, but on the other hand I fully understand why he did it and that was to reach as many people to change their eating habits as possible and so in this content, it makes perfect sense. Before May 2007 I was a vegan who rarely ate fruits and vegetables thinking cereal and popcorn was healthy, now I thrive on those foods and have kept my weight down to near ideal with no effort at all.

I have always loved reading nutrition books and before Joel Fuhrman, M.D. I thought Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Oz were the best, but now I see that they both focus far too heavily on whole grains, which Dr. Fuhrman says to eat very little of because they are not dense in nutrition. The rule of this plan is to eat foods highest on the nutrient index and avoid foods with little nutritional value all-together.

Here's a list of the foods he says we can eat from his book in unlimited quantities, and these are the only foods I eat myself. This plan is the only book that made perfect sense to me and I knew in my core that this is the only choice I would make for optimal health and wellness.
HIGH-NUTRIENT FOODS THAT CAN BE EATEN
IN UNLIMITED QUANITIES

LEAFY GREEN VEGATABLES
romaine lettuce, leaf lettuces, kale, collards, Swiss chard, cabbage, spinach, bok choy.

Product Description:
Hundreds of medical doctors utilize Dr. Fuhrman s Eat For Health system in their medical practice.

Fat Into the Fire [Paperback] Review

I met David at a book signing in Atlanta. I liked what he had to say in his brief verbal intro to the book, so I went for it on Amazon (best deal by far).It does contain lots of good, practical advice and tips.David is quite regimented in his beliefs and routine, and although I cannot be the same way in all aspects (Sorry, I have to have a glass of wine or some chocolate every once ina while!), I have found that even just by implementing some of his tips, my diet and weight has improved.The writing is NOT the best; short, choppy sentences and sometimes "stream of conciousness", but he gets his point across and once you are used to his style, it makes for a quick read.While you may have heard some of his tips and tricks before, he does present them in a way that makes sense.His food lists, menus and recipes make it worth it.
