Sleep Away the Pounds: Optimize Your Sleep and Reset Your Metabolism for Maximum Weight Loss [Paperback] Review

Sleep Away The Pounds. Who would have thought weight loss could be so comforting?

My first reaction to the title of the book though, was one of skepticism. Cherie Calbom walks you through the program, which involves a well-rounded approach to weight loss: diet, exercise, weight management, and sleep. According to research, lack of sleep can be correlated to the overall gain in weight in our society. Lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalances in areas that affect our body's signals toward hunger. Proper sleep helps to halt this cycle and retrain the brain. When correct levels of hormones are reached within the body, it aids the weight-loss program.

Sleep needs to be refreshing and restorative--when you wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and with energy to tackle the day. The author presents an extensive list of various ways to increase the likelihood of a good night's sleep. Also tips are given on quieting the mind, exercise and diet. Numerous foods are listed which are known to relax the body and increase the likelihood of a good night's sleep.

Included in the book are a 21-day menu plan and a listing of resources.

Armchair interview says: If you have struggled with weight loss and been on too many yo-yo diets, this book presents another aspect which may affect the way you loose weight.

Product Description:
The words, "You snooze, you lose," have never been truer.Research suggests that fewer zzzs you get, the more likely you are to pack on the pounds.In fact, a recent study shows that those who average less than 4 hours a night are nearly 75 percent more likely to be obese than those who log 7 to 9hours nightly.Even people who get 6 hours of sleep a night are about 25 percent more apt to be obese.The fact is, lack of sleep affects hormone levels, which can trigger hunger and tell the body to slow down the metabolism and store fat unnecessarily.What's more, when we're exhausted, our body's ability to process sugar drops by about 30 percent--leaving us not just worn down, but at a significantly higher rise of developing type II diabetes. Cherie Calbom has developed a groundbreaking program to harness the power of sleep for optimum weight loss.Perhaps the most doable diet ever, Calbom's 3-week program combines:
* A breakdown of the science behind sleep as a weight loss aid
* Strategies for getting more and better sleep--including solutions for insomnia and sleep disorders
* Relaxation techniques to improve mood and reduce stress and make your nights more restful
* A sleep-well menu program that tells you what to eat and when to eat it for optimum shut-eye

Listen and Lose Weight: The Breakthrough Hypnosis Program for Permanent Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

Have been using for about two weeks.You have be to open to relaxation and willing to accept suggestion.I chose to customize the program for me, by loading the cd to an mp3 file, then using an audio program to take segments of the audio out.What I ended up with was a custom audio file that I was then able to run in an endless loop.I did not want it waking me at the end of every 30 minute session.I have two programs from Glenn Harold that I run end to end, then loaded it to an mp3 player and set it to repeat so that as long as I wanted I could use the program... namely at night while sleeping.Normally as one sleeps there are periods of twilight sleep where we are most suggestable.This is how I use it.You are never in a deep trance, and when awake are totally aware of your surounding.When the alarm goes off in the a.m. I wake normally.As far as the program itself goes, it is good.You get used to the british accent after a while, but is a little distracting in the beginning.Have been using my adjust program for two weeks and have lost ten pounds, without exercise or doing anything artificial.I find that I tend to eat a little less and get full faster.Seems I lose patience sitting at the table too long, especialy if there is a lot of food.I wanted to see if the self hypnosis worked on its own merit before adding in an exercise program.My goal is to lose 1 pound a week.I have a lot to lose, but have not been sucessful in the long term with other programs I have tried.Every expert I talked toindicates that the bottom line is that it is all in the head.So, what better way to adjust than to change how I think about food and how I eat.So far so good.

THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams [Paperback] Review

The 3:00 PM Secret is a strong combination of inspiration and information that appeals to both heart and mind. It has motivated and equipped me to make choices in 'when I eat', as well as in my nutrition, exercise, sleeping, and other patterns that have already produced a weight loss of nearly 25 lbs, a lean, more rested body, and great optimism toward the future. I'm feeling and acting stronger, younger, and just plain happier. I know many many people whose bodies can't keep up with their dreams, who have repeatedly tried and failed to slim down, and have just given up hope. I am recommending Ms. Lawrence's book to them (in some cases giving them copies) because I want them to succeed, too! I must also add that one feature that sets this book apart from others is the amazing amount of research that backs up the author's propositions. While the text does not read at all like a text book, it will remain a wonderful reference book, and the numerous footnotes that tie back to scientific findings gave me confidence that I was receiving sound and proven advice and information, worthy of my reliance.

I know it seems difficult to change our living habits, even though we know our current practices are unhealthy and sometimes lethal. This little book will show you how to live a healthy, hopeful, happy life, and have the body that will carry you through all the wonderful adventures that lie before you. There is a lot of info on the book's site, but here is a summary of the contents.

- - - - UPDATE
I am updating this since I have been following this book for another year since my review.I have EASILY held my weight loss and am down another five pounds.I am at my perfect weight.I don't even have to try to keep my weight where I want it - it is just so natural and easy.Something really does change with your desire when you follow this method, and you no longer need to fight temptation, you just don't want to eat at night or eat unhealthy foods anymore.I feel sorry for and frustrated with people I care about who are overweight since they think they cannot live without their nightly dinner ritual. I see them waddling around with their health issues and aging bodies, while I feel more youthful and athletic every day. I also highly recommend the new 3: 00 PM SECRET 10-DAY DREAM DIET.
