The Good Carbohydrate Revolution: A Proven Program for Low-Maintenance Weight Loss and Optimum Health (Paperback) Review

Think of this book as a combination of Dr. Dean Ornish's book, "Eat More, Weigh Less, " "Sugar Busters!," and "Turn Off the Fat Genes" based on the latest research for controlling insulin levels, cholesterol, fat, and weight.
One of the strengths of the book is that the eating plan is quite flexible in terms of what you eat, when and how much.You are also given instructions for how to adjust your eating depending on how much animal protein and dairy products you choose to consume.Another strength is that the recipes take some pretty mundane sounding dishes and turn them into much tastier (and healthy) versions.
As someone who is very interested in Dr. Peter D'Adamo's work on blood types, I noticed that the advice here will fit those with type A blood very well, type B blood reasonably well, and type O blood less well.If you combine the perspectives of this book and Live Right 4 Your Type, I think you will have greatly improved your health, weight, and sense of well-being.
What's the down side?Well, you will have to buy and eat a lot of different foods than you do now.The book does a good job of describing different ways to make the transition.Within a few weeks, your food tastes will change and you will enjoy this diet.
I thought the biggest down side was that you'll pretty much have to give up on eating food from most restaurants.So, if you are like me and are often away from home, you'll have to carry food with you that you have prepared in advance.That's a pretty good idea anyway, and something that I have been doing more and more of.But it will be time-consuming, so something else will have to give in your life.Television, perhaps?Or remastered videos of 1950s comedies?
I am often asked my estimate of how costly a way of eating will be.I don't think this one will be extremely expensive, unless you decide to gorge only on the most expensive fruits and vegetables.You will save some money because you be eating out less, eating less processed food, and reducing your consumption of meat, poultry and dairy products.If you really like brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, and nonfat refried beans, your budget will be safe.I happen to like those foods, so I was encouraged.
How do we know this works?Well, the advice here has been put in practice by the author for the last 15 years for his patients in Hawaii.The book also draws on important scientific studies of the average results of making changes in diet and exercise.
Get the right balance to improve your strength, mood, mind, and body!

The Overfed Head: What If Everything You Know About Weight Loss Is Wrong? (Paperback) Review

I just finished reading the Overfed Head for the second time and I liked it even better the second time. I initially read the book in the context of my struggle with weight, the second reading was to assess the book as a resource for a psychotherapy client. The book reads well and the content is sound. On a personal level I felt the author was telling me the very thing I could never understand about my naturally thin friends. I knew they ate what they wanted and they seemed satified. I could not figure out how they experenced that satisfaction. I am now having that satisfied feeling with each experience of eating. It does require practice but what a joy to practice enjoying food!

On a professional level I will utilize this book with clients. The reason why I feel it is appropiate to use is the information is sound and seems to be based on a blend of positive psychology and cognitive theray principles. I work from a psychodynamic frame however, I find this quite compatable with the work I am doing. The author promotes being curious about ourselves, mindfulness and avoids transfering the responsibility for our bodies to anyone other than ourselves. The hunger and satisfaction tool is excellent. The author also alerts the reader to the positive but sometimes frightning side benefit of having the emotional issues we have been "feeding" present themselves for more direct and helpfull attention.

I guess I should have said I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist in psychiatry with 30+ years of experience.

This is a must read if you or someone you care about is struggling with weight control.

The Diet Code: Eat Bread, Drink Wine, Lose Weight [Paperback] Review

One does not have to be a Da Vinci Code groupie or a math-geek to understand "The Diet Code."Lanzalotta's book details the wellness-plan he created, based on The "Golden Ratio"-a mathematical formula used by Renaissance masters.This formula defines patterns and sequences found in nature-including human structure.Whether or not to believe that Phi governs the perfect dietary design for humans is academic.The book is an enjoyable read.Though his food-groupings need tweaking--olive oil, for example, listed as a fatty protein, contains just traces of protein-Lanzalotta's plan is nutritious and doable.
Here's what I like about this book:
He restores the pleasure of food, art of cooking, and joy of eating to the science of nutrition.This is not a deprivation diet. Foods generally considered taboo (i.e.: chocolate, wine, full-fat cheese) are incorporated.Lanzalotta's plan is neither high- nor low-carb, neither high- nor low-fat. The macronutrient percentages (including protein) are within the recommended ranges.Who can argue with a regime promoting the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seafood, and the moderate use of health-enhancing fats?Foods suggested are affordable and generally available. Economy is realized in time too-food prep is a snap.The recipes are tasty.The emphasis on freshness and presentation creates the illusion of gourmet without all the fuss.His recipes are readily adaptable.I have substituted bucatini and shrimp for fettucine and salmon in his Salmon Puttanesca.Lanzalotta's ethnic Italian cuisine is fun to experiment with.I've enjoyed flavor combinations new to me: lemon dressing seasoned with anise seed and mint; lamb stew with cloves, rosemary, and prunes.Lanzalotta's intuitive pairing of foodstuffs from Old World cuisine--"companatico" is truly remarkable."Peasant food"-is good food!
