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.

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.

Get Thin, Stay Thin: A Biblical Approach to Food, Eating, and Weight Management [Mass Market Paperback] Review

This book can change your life.It is more a Bible study/Self-Help guide that causes us to gently examine - hopefully with God's help - why we eat past full...why we hide in our weight, what might be at the root of our self-destructive behavior, and then to gracefully, gently correct it.This isn't a "diet" book.It's not about calories, exercise, and fat counting.It's a book for those of us who are beyond that.We've done all the programs, starved, binged, hated on ourselves, etc.Now we need more.It's probably not a substitute for a counselor, and it's not a quick fix, but boy it's an awesome book, well-written, compassionate, and kind.If you are looking for a boot camp method to lose weight, this isn't it.If you are bruised, broken, and about to resign yourself to a lifetime of being fat, this is for you.

Product Description:
Get Thin, Stay Thin addresses the real reason we struggle with eating problems: we try to use food to satisfy our souls. As the Hallidays explain, we all crave intimacy, security, and acceptance. When these needs are not met, we often turn to substitutes such as food. The Hallidays go beyond trendy, short-term weight-control plans and urge readers to allow God to satisfy their deepest hungers. Anyone who has struggled with weight loss will benefit from this honest and thorough look at getting beyond the guilt and the ups and downs of yo-yo dieting.

The Weight of Grace: Experience the Freedom from Overeating that You Already Have (Paperback) Review

I completed this study in the fall of 2008.For me it was the first time I've experienced God's grace in the matter of my weight.I've been so steeped in self condemnation and legalism that I never sought God or believed that He would be willing to work in this area of my life.It felt like my choices = my consequences and all I had to do was get myself under control - which should be easy enough?
But...thru this study I learned that I had many false beliefs about God and many motivations for my eating that I can to prayerfully surrender to God - in Romans it says that 'they exchanged the truth of God for a lie' - but...I can exchange the lies I've believed for the truth of God.Now I can honestly say that my focus has shifted from myself and my failings to God and compassion toward me and His Holy Spirit at work in me.
I highly recommend this book to any woman who struggles with emotional eating - not just weight issues - to be set free from the legalism of dieting and conforming to the cultural standard - and be the woman God created you to be.

Why Your Last Diet Failed You and How This Book Won't Help You on Your Next One (Paperback) Review

When I picked up the book by Charlie Hills, Why Your Last Diet Failed You, I thought, Great, yet another book on dieting. Then I read the subtitle of the book: "And How This Book Won't Help You on Your Next One". My thought on that was, Huh, well, at least he's honest.

Not only did I find the cover of Why Your Last Diet Failed You amusing, but I also found it honest, and that's what you're going to find inside the book. That is, essentially, what the very foundation of this book, yet another book on dieting, is all about: honesty, with a dash of humor, and it's calorie free.

One thing that stood out when reading the book is that Mr. Hills makes it clear upfront his isn't a miraculous weight loss story. He's never weighed 400 pounds, had a near death experience, or any of the other amazing and heartwarming stories we see in late night infomercials from people with whom we cannot relate. Instead, he's just a normal American human being, who, like the majority of Americans, has been battling the bulge and the "trampoline" weight loss and gain, and he found himself loosing the war.

Pros: Humorous, realistic, practical... this book will make you laugh, might even motivate you to lose weight, and even if it doesn't, provides enough entertainment value to make it worth the read.

Con: The book is a bit pricey.

Overall, I recommend the book for its entertainment value alone, but if you pick up some useful information along the way, all the better!
