New Prescription for Childhood Obesity: Fight Childhood Obesity with Antioxidants & Phytonutrients [Paperback] Review

When I am people watching in my neighbourhood shopping mall, it never ceases to amaze me as to the number of overweight children that catch my attention.

As Dr. Billy Johnson points out in his exceptional guide, New Prescription for Childhood Obesity, America is now facing a real crisis when it comes to childhood obesity.Did you know that there are over 9 million children in the USA alone with childhood obesity? And worldwide it is has reached epidemic proportions with over 155 million affected.

Dr. Johnson is a medical graduate from the University of Florida and he did his residency in obstetrics and gynaecology at the Maimonedes Medical Center in New York. He holds a Ph.D in Molecular Biology/Microbiology and has practiced medicine in Virginia and Connecticut. In addition, he has written many articles for medical and scientific journals. He takes the problem of childhood obesity very seriously.

In the introduction to New Prescription for Childhood Obesity, Dr. Johnson fervently maintains, which incidentally forms the basis of his book, that the root cause of obesity and chronic diseases related to obesity for both children and adults is the low-grade silent inflammation associated with extra abdominal fat, along with low levels of antioxidans and phytonutrients. So grave is this that Dr. Johnson affirms that as the waistlines of our youth increase as they grow older, so does the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases that once would only be seen in adults such as type 2 diabetes that now affect over a half a million children in the United States.
To conclude that it is quite frightening to envisage that there will be more and more children being treated with potent drugs for cholesterol and arterial plaques is an understatement. Just think about the ramifications when a child becomes an adult and the quality of life he or she will be required to endure.

In New Prescription for Childhood Obesity, Dr. Johnson examines all of the dangers of childhood obesity, its causes and what parents can do about it. His approach is quite different than the traditional method, which advocates that to reduce weight and fat it is necessary to eat less and exercise more, which according to Dr. Johnson does not work very well over the long term. It is his contention that it is essential to address the root cause which he breaks down into oxidative stress, insulin resistance and the low-grade chronic inflammation that are triggered by many factors such as unhealthy foods as well as environmental causes as exposure to pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins.

It should be mentioned, as Dr. Johnson points out in his introduction, that the book is intended for parents who want to help their children (5-12 years old) to develop healthy eating habits in order to improve the quality of their weight, body fat and health, and particularly targeting young children who might be at risk.The book divides itself into fourteen chapters, five appendixes, selected references and an index. The first section of the book deals with the science and essential philosophy of healthy eating wherein Dr. Johnson counsels his readers that in order to fight obesity in children, it is necessary to pay particular attention to antioxidants and phytonutrients that are found in non-starchy vegetables and fruits.

Dr. Johnson's program, which is explored in depth throughout the book, focuses on balanced nutrition that can be tailored to the level of physical activity on a meal-to-meal basis with stress reduction as an additional component.

If you are wondering what are antioxidants, Dr. Johnson informs us that they are: "phytonutrients or chemical compounds that neutralize free radicals and prevent them from causing damage to healthy cells and molecules like DNA, lipids (fats), proteins and cell membranes. Insufficient antioxidants in your children's meals are the sole reason they store excessive abdominal fat that makes more inflammation in their bodies-leading to obesity and chronic diseases."As for phytonutrients, we are informed that these are the health promoting bioactive compounds or nutrients found in plants including vegetables, fruits, beans, and soy.

From this brief introduction pertaining to the vocabulary that Dr. Johnson uses throughout his book, readers are presented with a road map as to how to combat child obesity.It is quite amazing how much information Dr. Johnson covers in fewer than two hundred pages where we learn about the strategies for reducing obesity and inflammation, what is silent inflammation, medical consequences of obesity, food essentials, becoming knowledgeable and proactive pertaining to the foods we eat, recognizing food diversity, vitamins, minerals and essential fats, how to draw up a healthy shopping list, planning meals with your child, breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. The appendixes are very interesting and informative as they deal with sample daily meal plans, how children can have some fun eating, shares responsibility, and several recipes.

An interesting sub-section of the book is the reference made to MonaVie Acai Berry Juice. According to Dr. Johnson one way to address the deficiency of antioxidants and phytonutrients in children's diets is to supplement their diets with a unique formula that was recently discovered by scientists and available under the brand name MonaVie.
The key ingredient in MonaVie is the Acai Berry that grows at the top of tall palm trees in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil.Dr. Johnson tells us that the Acai fruit has the highest antioxidant activity of any fruit or vegetable currently known on a gram-to-gram basis.

Dr. Johnson has a vast amount of experience dealing with the problem of child obesity and his experience shows, in deed, with his impressively researched and comprehensive study. It is difficult for me to think of a single issue that isn't broached in New Prescription for Childhood Obesity. He is particularly to be commended for his clear easy to follow format and without doubt readers will undoubtedly benefit from a vastly improved sense of the subject and the tools necessary to combat child obesity.

Product Description:
About one in three American children is either overweight or obese. Childhood obesity is a crisis robbing youth of health and energy, and even causing children to die prematurely. Obesity among children, which is likely to carry over to adulthood, is also linked to a greater risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, early heart disease, and high blood pressure. New Prescription for Childhood Obesity provides an innovative approach to fighting childhood obesity. The traditional method for weight loss and fat reduction has been to eat less and exercise more, but this does not work over the long haul. To lose weight and keep it off requires addressing the root cause of the problem: insulin resistance and the low-grade silent inflammation that is triggered by many factors, including foods and environmental causes such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins. Now parents have an opportunity to change their child's eating and physical activity habits even before a weight problem develops. Complete with recipes to get you on the right track, this essential guide provides specific and simple strategies, techniques, and skills that will enable children to eat the right amount of food appropriate for their level of physical activity without dieting.

The Jean Nidetch Story: An Autobiography (Paperback) Review

On Columbus Day, October 12, 1923, Jean Slutsky was born in New York City. Her father was thin. Her mother was fat. Young Jean weighed only 7 pounds-plus at birth but grew steadily larger than she should, a roly poly baby, a chubby teen. She lost some weight to marry in 1947 an even fatter husband, Marty Nidetch, a happy-go-lucky bus driver. Their greatest joy was dining out together, always on the lookout for places that served free second helpings.

In September 1961, just before her 38th birthday, now a mother, 5' 7" Jean Nidetch weighed 214 pounds and sported size 44 dresses. Marty was 5'10" and weighed 265 pounds. In a supermarket that day a friend asked Jean when she was "due." Not pregnant, Jean was shaken. Within weeks she had enrolled in a New York City Department of Health Obesity Clinic, with a very rigid list of those foods and only those that might be and must be eaten. In the first ten weeks Jean lost 20 pounds but found no one at the Obesity Clinic who wanted to pat her on the back for her success. Any whining by Jean or other dieters was cut off ruthlessly.

Jean decided that she would never lose the 74 pounds the Obesity Clinic demanded without sympathetic overweight friends who could empathize with her struggle. Going it alone with no "atta girls" was not for Jean. She called six girl friends together and told them the drastic diet she was on that had made her shed 20 pounds (despite nighttime cheating with chocolate marshmallow cookies). Their first reaction: "You don't look it!" (Ch. 4, p. 41)

But the group kept meeting every week, pledged to follow the New York City diet. As Jean lectured away, part mother hen, part advocate, the group kept on growing. On October 30, 1962 Jean Slutsky Nidetch met her weight loss goal: down 72 pounds to 142, dress size from 44 to 12. And her friends did well, too.

Soon, with some legal help, Jean founded WEIGHT WATCHERS, INTERNATIONAL. And the rest, as they say, is history. Its 1961 creation, the weekly adult education, weigh-in and support group meeting, remains at its core.

I found this a fascinating read, full of insights and tips. For example, early on Jean decided there had to be a reason why some people are thin. Did it have to do with their eating style? She soon noticed that thin people put their forks down between bites. Fat people never set down a fork! They gestured with their forks. Their forks were almost an extension of their personality.

And on and on: fat people lie to themselves. Every fat person has his or her "Frankenstein," a favorite food not to be given up under any circumstances, they say. For example, chocolate marshmallow cookies, doughnuts. Jean persuaded one man to give up doughnuts until he shed 88 pounds. He did. When he was where his weight should be, he rushed out for doughnuts. But almost gagged on them, it would seem.

Traditional diets, Jean said, you can't wait for them to be over and done with -- and then regain what you lost. Weight Watchers, Jean argues, is different: not a crash diet but a new, healthy steady as you go lifestyle. You are determined never again to be separated from the new, slim, healthy you.

This is not Mrs Nidetch's first book. It is chatty, low-key, modest. She never managed Weight Watchers, the corporation. But she was its founder and remains its number one spokesman in popularity. For a simple, brief (128 pages) first person narrative, THE JEAN NIDETCH STORY: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a convincing retelling of the old Horatio Alger rags to riches narrative of American entrepreneurship.

-OOO-

In the interest of full disclosure: I am a 6' 1" 74-year old male semi-couch potato, who spends most of my days reading, writing, lecturing and teaching occasional adult education classes. If I am lucky, I do an hour of exercise a day, including tai chi. I have been a Weight Watcher for three-plus years. I lost 11 pounds on my own just before starting the program. Under Weight Watchers, with more than one falling off then climbing back on the wagon, I have lost another 34 pounds. I need to lose 31 more to hit my maximum upper weight limit of 189 pounds. Obviously, I am not setting a record for speedy weight loss.

I am also a moderately active investor in stocks. In November 2007, over the objections of my financial advisor, I bought 20 shares of Weighwatchers International (NYSE: WTW) stock at $49.98/share. The last time I looked, my 20 shares had lost slightly more than half their value. I still own WTW for the same reason I bought it: to make myself read annual reports and think about and understand both the good and debatable things that WTW is doing for shareholders as well as for its employees and for overweight people like me. My doctor has prescribed membership for me. I admire most things about WTW, but do not shill for it. End full disclosure.

Genocide: How Your Doctor's Dietary Ignorance Will Kill You!!!! (Paperback) Review

I have tried the two main low carb diets that are available and though they work, why I should remain on the diet was never fully explained.I read the books, followed the diet plan, and after a tremendous effort, I would eventually go back to the foods I was eating before.After reading Genocide, I now understand WHY I can't eat those foods.Genocide is a no nonsense approach to healthier living through correct nutrition and the application of simple scientific facts.In our society of instant gratification, plentiful amounts of any food, and the ability to buy most anything, sticking to the dietary example of Dr. Carlson is hard, but it is truly worth the effort.I understand the need to keep my distance from sugars and carbs, and because I do I have no problem sticking to the dietary changes offered by Dr. Carlson.Once you read this book, you will want to buy copies for your friends.You could pass on your copy, but then you wouldn't be able to read it again and again.

The Vitamin D Cure [Paperback] Review

Both my spouse and I are physicians.When we read this book, we were shocked to realize how little we had known about Vitamin D.Following Dr. Dowd's suggestions, we began taking Vitamin D from one of the sources listed in the book.

Within two weeks, we could each see significant improvement in the following:

1.)gums/teeth -- we had both had some gum recession over the years, with associated tooth sensitivity.We had asked dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons why gum recession occurs.They all said, "It just happens."That never made sense to us, and it is now apparent that they simply did not know about the Vitamin D connection.Our gums now look healthier, and the tooth sensitivity is gone.
2.)tendon/ligament/fascia pain in the ankles and feet -- gone or greatly improved.
3.)skin -- smoother, fresher look with decreased prominence of pores.This isn't talked about in the book and so it was unexpected but most welcome.My personal belief is that it may be related to improved immune function with Vitamin D.

Within four weeks, we had increased muscle strength and decreased muscle fatigue on exercising.

An interesting aspect of this is that we live in Florida, where you might think it would be difficult to be Vitamin D deficient.However, we work inside all week, and when we go out on weekends we use sunscreen or sun-protective clothing.

This book is thoroughly researched and referenced.It is full of specific advice on testing for deficiency, supplements, dietary changes, sun exposure, and more.It discusses the various health problems that Vitamin D can make a difference in, including arthritis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, seasonal depression, diabetes, colon cancer, and many more.

It is important to note that magnesium is essential along with Vitamin D.Though this is discussed in the book, I strongly recommend also reading "The Magnesium Factor" by Mildred Seelig, M.D. It is also excellent and extremely helpful.We have added more magnesium-rich foods to our diet based on Dr. Seelig's advice, and also decided to take one of the magnesium supplements she mentions.

In summary, I think most people could benefit from reading this book and "The Magnesium Factor".

Waistland: The R/evolutionary Science Behind Our Weight and Fitness Crisis [Hardcover] Review

Waistland's main premise is that you can't just "trust your instincts" or "listen to your body" in the current food environment. Barrett goes on a hunt into prehistory to show how our bodies evolved in a world where salt, sugar, and fat were scarce and desirable. Now we live in a word where those substances are not only plentiful, but in which images of them are beamed at us constantly. Waistland describes how refined foods affect us similarly to addictive drugs.
Barrett says we need to learn to "listen to our intellect" before our brains evolve back to the minimum needed to locate the Twinkies in the grocery aisle. She advocates radical change for those seeking to eat healthier and lose weight. Simply ordering the smaller size of fries or eating desert twice a week is actually harder physically in terms triggering hunger signals than eliminating them entirely: more painful in the first few days but ultimately easier to maintain because insulin, glucose, and leptin levels normalize.
Barrett also trashes the "too busy to time to eat healthy" argument. She has a half joking, half serious "recipe"section that points out you can dump tuna over baby spinach or walk out of a 7-11 with nuts and fruit faster than you can get through the line at a burger chain. For those with "no time to exercise," she reminds us the average American watches more than 3 hours of TV a day.
She also has suggestions for society to change the whole food environment. She points out that short of banning foods--which she does advocate for transfats--we can start by reversing crazy policies like subsidizing the growing of corn and sugar and instead setting financial incentives to favor healthy vegetables.
Waistland is full of research culled form academic sources you haven't seen in popular books before. But it's also an extremely entertaining read, with witty observations and delightful New Yorker cartoons. Whether you're just trying to understand our society's health problems or wanting to get yourself back on track with sane eating and exercise, this is the smartest, most readable book out there on the topic.

Product Description:
Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barrett tackles the obesity and fitness crisis from an evolutionary standpoint.In the modern jungle of burgers, couches, and remote controls, obesity is an enormous and growing epidemic. Weight-loss books and diet gurus urge us to "listen to our bodies," but our instincts are designed for the African savannah, not food courts. The sugary and fatty foods that we, as hunter-gatherers, are programmed to forage used to be hard to come by. Now they're as close as the vending machine down the hall.

Radical changes are necessary and, fortunately, are biologically easier than small or gradual changes in diet. Barrett tells us how to reprogram our bodies, break food addictions, and ignore our attraction to "supernormal stimuli"—artificial creations that appeal to our instincts more than the natural objects they mimic. Barrett delves into scientific research—from animal ethology to evolution—to show the disastrous direction in which our instincts have led us, and how, using our intellect, we can get back on course. 50 illustrations.

Fat Chance: Losing the Weight, Gaining My Worth (Hardcover) Review

I loved this book! Fat Chance is so inspiring that it made even me forego eating that piece of chocolate cake and opt instead for lacing up my sneaks to go for a walk.

Julie Hadden, a cast member on Season 4 of The Biggest Loser television show, has written a memoir that transcends the all too usual "I had an exciting experience" memoir. Through the use of humor and a writer's voice that just wants to invite you over for a cup of coffee, Hadden manages to tell her fat to thin story while at the same time impressing on us the important lessons she learned along the way.

Included in this well told story are humorous incidents, poignant realizations, and true insight into why she was so overweight to begin with. As an example one of her discussions is about how she has learned to pause before eating something she knows she shouldn't and ask herself "what is it that you are really hungry for?" She realizes now that as a child, she was using food to fill the need of approval and acceptance.

You don't have to be a Biggest Loser fan to enjoy this book because even those who know nothing of the show will still benefit from its inspiring and straight forward message. But if you are a fan, you'll love the little bits of inside information she includes as asides in each chapter. For example, the large scale used at the weigh-ins is fake (gasp) and the contestants are weighed at a Dr.'s office earlier in the day. If it's any consolation, they don't know what their actual weights are until the taping segment at the scale.

Written in short, digestible chunks (pun intended) Fat Chance is a quickly paced read that will keep you turning the pages, not because you are wondering if she got thin (the answer is on the cover of the book, yes she did) but instead it keeps you wondering how is she going to cope and continue living a thin life where a fat woman once lived. The question "What is it that needs to change?" will keep you up reading this book late at night.

Without being heavy handed, Hadden gives her faith due credit for her surviving the show and for her continuing on, even in the face of birthday cake and tea parties. Her honest relationship with God comes across as sincere and not in the least bit preachy.

As an added bonus to this book, the appendixes include workout routines, glossary of terms, recipes of favorite foods, and a section on frequently asked questions.

Hadden claims that her single most important lesson she learned from being on the Biggest Loser is that she is worthy of living the life she was created for. Her enthusiasm and inspiring words leave you cheering her success while at the same time asking yourself if you are also living up to your own full potential as well.

Julie Hadden is a thirty-seven-year-old stay-at-home mom. She and her husband Mike, live in Jacksonville, Florida with their two sons.

Product Description:
Julie Hadden, one of the most successful and memorable contestants ever on NBC's The Biggest Loser, struggled with her self-worth and her size for years. At age thirty-four she found herself at a crossroads: would she settle for staying 'big' the rest of her life, or would she insist on making big changes instead? Reality-TV fans know which path Julie chose that day. When she stepped on the scale at the show's season-four finale, revealing she had lost an astounding 45 percent of her body weight, she simultaneously stepped into the world's collective heart.
Julie's experience on The Biggest Loser helped birth her new physique, but the transformation went far deeper than that. From displeasure to contentment, from indulgence to self-control, from shame to self-confidence every step along renovation's path, Julie sensed that God was hard at work.
Relying on her classic humor and penetrating candor, Julie offers readers of all shapes and sizes an intimate portrayal of a once-fat woman who sweated and slogged her way toward thin. Additionally she answers frequently asked questions about her weight loss and being a contestant on The Biggest Loser and provides a sampling of her favorite healthy recipes and sample workouts from her current trainer.
In a book that marries introspection with inspiration and teachable moments with rare, behind-the-scenes details about one of the hottest shows on TV, Fat Chance not only will endear readers to the author's firsthand experience, but will inspire them to make healthy changes of their own.

Lose the Weight You Hate [Paperback] Review

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.

The One-Day Way: Today Is All the Time You Need to Lose All the Weight You Want [Hardcover] Review

I recently bought this book for Kindle and am not quite finished.But I can say that if you are trying to lose weight and become the best, all around, healthy person you can be then Chantel Hobbs' story will truly inspire you.I've been on a weight loss, training journey for about 14 months now and Chantel's first book, Never Say Diet, has been a constant reference for me along the way.This is a woman who with the demands of life like marriage, family, 4 kids, sick parents, etc. had the dedication and determination to start excercising and change the way she ate and how she went from 349 lbs to now RUNNING MARATHONS.Even though some of her writing seems directed toward women, I am a 48 yo male and I too have been encouraged by her story and successes.I'm not running marathons...YET...but I have dropped almost 80 lbs and am running 5Ks on a regular basis.What I've picked up so far from The One Day Way seems to be a simplification of some of the principles I learned from Never Say Diet.We can't look at life's challenges, such as weight loss, and focus on how high the 'mountain' might be and get discouraged that we can never reach the top.The only way to get to the top of the 'mountain' is by taking one step at a time.That's what you will learn from Chantel...take One Day at a Time and before long you are climbing up the 'mountain' and if you keep climbing you can reach the top!

In summary, read BOTH books and see how Chantel can help you change your life.
