Review of The No Diet, Diet! (Paperback)

Let me start by saying that I don't generally enjoy reading diet books, as they tend to complicate things. When diets become too complicated, too time consuming, or too restrictive, people are less likely to make it a lifelong process. However, this is not your average diet book; it is about a way of life. It shows the importance of the Mind-Body connection, when setting out to do anything in life, including dieting. It speaks of setting goals, which are reached by setting clear and positive intentions and following through with them. It also speaks of finding someone who will hold you accountable. By doing so, you can set the tone for all aspects of life. To me, this is the recipe for a "Yes, Yes diet".

Review of Positively PCOS: A story about infertility that led to the discovery of PCOS (Paperback)

This book is really for anyone who is stuggling with infertility, and even better for those with PCOS. Hansen candidly explains her trials and tribulations with trying to become pregnant, and details the painful 22 cycles, and three years it took her to become pregnant. I wondered for a bit why the book had PCOS in the title as she rarely refers to it, and never talks about being diagnosed. Later in the book she does explain that she does not suffer from the other random but "charasteristic" sypmtopms so many others do. I liked the book because it's from a patient perspective, and seems to have a healthly positive message, and nothing dangerous as you would often find in patient written medical books. She does a great job at detailing her experience, and being honest about things she cannot recount, or does not know. Her knowledge is vast, and is written and presented in a non-intimidating way. I wish it has included more of her husbands feelings, and details, rather than just her own, but it was still written well. She uses a little sarcasm to lighten the load as she goes through let down after let down. There is great info on OHSS which I had never read about, and was pleased to learn something new. There is no speechy chapter after chapter that you find in other PCOS books about what PCOS is. Overall, it was empowering to read, and up-lifting. I highlu recommend!

Product Description
Positively PCOS is a memoir of the author's attempt to overcome infertility. Years slipped by before discovering that something called PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and insulin resistance was the culprit. PCOS is the most common hormonal disorder among pre-menopausal women and one of the most common causes of infertility. The book is written candidly from the patient's perspective. She describes her struggle to understand what is in control of her body and shares all of the raw emotion that infertility brings. The author takes us along for the ride as she seeks to find her way to discovering the truth about her body and herself. This is a motivational and inspiring story of determination and hope.

Review of The Untold Secrets Of Permanent Weight Loss: (Deception in the American Diet Industry) (Paperback)

Best Diet book I've read yet.It deals with the real principles of weight control.You should read it, whether you're 20 pounds or 200 pounds overweight!

Crystal

Product Description
'The Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss' Is the first publication of its kind on the subjects of our deceptive diet industry, your specific challenges in weight management, and how to make your next diet your final diet for life. It serves a two-fold purpose in educating the reader. First, it exposes most of the diet industry as the financial predator that it is in our country by outlining in detail how you and I are misled by false information, exaggerated promises, and only 'partial truths' about what it takes to lose weight and keep it off. In this time of 'national crisis' where most Americans are overweight and levels of obesity on the rise, you will learn why, with all the science and nutritional breakthroughs in recent years, most diets, including your last one, failed to give you the desired results. You will discover just how much information is left out and how insulting (to you) weight loss advertisements truly are. Second, it provides you with a roadmap for success in weight management that is as detailed and personalized as it can be without personal consultation. It forces you to extract, from your own mind, the true passions that distract you from food, exposes your faulty thinking that has influenced your past and present, and offers a solution to all the challenges that you face in losing and controlling your weight. On the plus side, you will come away with an understanding that you can and will be successful, even with all your faults and lapses in will power. You will learn that nutrition (food selection) and exercise are truly minor issues in the grand scheme of your life and daily management of your impulses. You will come away with a new, enlightened understanding of your own nature. Finally, you will understand how and why the guidelines of weight management will work for you, and you will be offered real solutions. In your case, nothing will be left out of the equation, leaving you no choice but to succeed.

Review of Life After Gastric Bypass: 6 Steps to Ensure Your Weight Loss Success (Paperback)

this is an outstanding book on gastric bypass but it didn't go far enough. it needed to cover the period after 6 months out and beyond.

Product Description
The adage says most people won't take action until their back is up against the wall and there's nothing to do but come out swinging. My back was against the wall! But it wasn't the fact that I had sleep apnea and needed a machine just so I could draw a breath. It also wasn't the fact that I could not cross my legs; shop for clothes in regular stores; walk for more than ten minutes without my back killing me; participate in sport activities, or even sit in an airplane without a seat belt extender. I, like many of you reading this book, was already numb to all the jokes from little kids or stares from adults, so those things never became a factor of the day I knew.The day I knew that I had to do something -- the day that I absolutely had to lose weight -- was when I couldn't even wipe my own backside. When you can't even reach around your own massive belly, or reach behind your own back to clean yourself, something has got to be done. At that point I was well over 450 pounds.It was an embarrassing secret that I thought I would take to my grave! No matter what made you choose this drastic change in your body and lifestyle, you should be proud of yourself for making the decision. Contrary to popular belief, surgery is not the easy way out. It's a major life altering choice that you and your family will have to live with for the rest of your lives. But, what a life you now have to live!This book will tell the story of an overweight child who became an obese adult and then decided to do something about it when his back was against the wall. Also, with help of an expert in her field, we'll show you how to achieve your goal weight and maintain it through the proper diet and exercise long after the first incision was ever made.

Review of The Bible Diet (Paperback)

Dr. Mays has done an excellent job in staying Biblically based in this book.It was a great decision that he decided to write this to beleivers rather than dilute the material to achieve a wider audience, as other Bible-based diet books seem to do.This is equally or more-so a book about achieving a better relationship with Christ as it is about becoming physically healthier - in fact it explains how the two are inseparable - how we treat our bodies (which are God's Temple) reflects how we treat God.He proves everything from scripture, both old and new Testaments - and doesn't fall into taking things out of context to make a point.It actually is apparent that he reached his conclusions from making in depth study of what actually was being said, and if that meant changing his own preconcieved ideas, then so be it.Along the way he debunks the myth that the new Testament no longer requires us to follow God's dietary biblical laws. Personally, I believe that Christs sacrifice did not do away with the Law at all, only it made the need for continual sacrifice unneccesary ("Think not that I have come to destroy the Law and the Prophets, for I have come to magnify them").As a result I also keep God's Holy days as written in the Old Testament, and do not follow the "Holidays" that man has propped up in their place-Easter and Christmas. I realize this may be different than Dr. Mays personal beliefs, but if he continues his studies in the same manner as he has done for this book, he will reach the same inevitable conclusions.
I believe that this is a well written, and often inspired book that is profitable to all Christians. This book is also packed with sound, scientific nutritional advice and explanations.I will be changing the way I eat into an act of worship.

Product Description
The Bible Diet is a spiritual and nutritional guide to healthy living and disease prevention based on God''s Holy Word. Dr. Mays believes that although recorded in the Bible thousands of years ago, it is still relevant to us today, and if followed religiously could prevent many of the diseases we are facing today. Furthermore, Dr. Mays believes it is a spiritual act of worship to be obedient to all God''s laws and statues including those pertaining to our physical well being.

Review of Diets Make You Fat: Eating Makes You Skinny (Paperback)

I read "Las Dietas Engordan, Comer Adelgaza" (Diets Make You Fat, Eating Makes You Skinny), and followed Dr. Bolio's diet. It's amazing! Not only you loose weight, you loose it in specific areas, so you get skinny but well shaped.
I liked his second book better "Que hacen los Malditos Flacos para estar Flacos"because it is easier to follow. I work, I have two little ones, and my life is extremely busy. I wish he could have an English version too.
If you have the time to prepare your meals, try his method in Diets Make You Fat.... you'll see AMAZING results soon enough to keep going and don't loose motivation.
I'm happy to see that he has a book written in English, b/c maybe I can find recipes that are easier to find in the States. Here I have problems finding "nopales" (cactus).
This diet really works, your fat will just melt. AND best of all, you are never hungry, in fact, you always feel full.


Product Description
Have you ever dreamed of a weight loss program where you can eat as much as you want of all those things that you crave and still lose excess body fat? This dream program is now yours. This is an ad libitum program where you lose fat because of what you eat and not because of what you limit. You will discover through personal experience that there is no need to reduce calories or limit food groups to eliminate excess body fat. You will also obtain targeted fat loss since more fat will be lost from the waistline than from other parts of the body. Even more important, you will learn to think, feel and act in a different way around food. No magical remedies are promised and no miracle pills are promoted. Only through a sensible program and disciplined attitude will you be able to permanently rid yourself of excess fat. The book is divided into four parts. The first part explains why traditional diets are useless for long term weight loss, and how they may even worsen the problem. The second part presents a general outline of proven ways to permanently lose excess fat. The third part introduces a program which will not only help you nourish your body and lose excess fat; it will also reshape you to express your maximum genetic potential. The last part answers frequent questions made by my patients in relationship to this program. The philosophy of this program is the following: It is not what you eat in excess but what you are lacking in your daily menu that ruins your perfect metabolic balance and favors accumulation of excess body fat.

Review of The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet: A Low Carbohydrate Approach (Paperback)

The concept of the book is a simple one---research the carbohydrate counts of more than 350 regular brewed beers and wrap a low carbohydrate diet around it with recipes and tips for keeping the pounds off. For my part, it's working! I've lost 14 pounds in the last 20 days and can really notice it and so can my wife.
Don't bother looking for the carb counts of regular beers on cans or bottles. The author points out that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms doesn't allow it though a nutritional analysis is mandatory on all "light" beers. Skilnik claims it took 2 years of telephone calls, e-mailing and faxing to put this book together, probably helped by the fact that he's a certified brewer with a degree in Brewing Technology from the Siebel Institute of Technology, the oldest school for brewers in the U.S.
There's lot of micro and regional beers here and imports too plus the typical American stuff. You can also go to the book's website for updates and additions to the carbohydrate counts of even more beers as they become available.

Product Description
As studies continue to prove, the results of successful low carbohydrate dieting continue to grow. The Drink Beer, Get Thin Diet incorporates an extensive carbohydrate listing of over 350 light and regular brewed beers for a unique and satisfying approach to weight reduction.
