This book is fabulous!I had my second daughter a month and a half ago, and was struggling to squeeze back into my jeans.I thought I'd never get there, but after following the simple and clear nutrition advice in this book for only a week, they fit!I'm thrilled.

Product Description
A revolutionary-yet simple and practical-guide to staying fit and healthy based on evolutionary medicine.

Countless books and nutrition experts have advised modern readers to adopt the best of the "cave-man diet" that avoids processed foods and refined carbohydrates. But how and what people eat is only the beginning of what the study of human evolution can teach us about overall health and well-being. Based on the latest research in the burgeoning field of evolutionary medicine, Evolution Rx provides readers with not only an understanding of the underlying science of this discipline but with a practical means to making nutritional and lifestyle changes that address a wide range of topics from exercise and injury prevention to allergies, heart health, cancer, Alzheimer's, and more:

- Why eating more fat, not less, can fuel weight loss
- Why human bodies can't register fullness when eating carbohydrates-and what to do about it
- Why getting more sun leads to better health
- Why stretching before exercise-or after an injury- is a bad idea
- Why children should be encouraged to get dirty

Provocative, science-based, and practical, Evolution Rx presents a new and powerful way to understand the human body and how to promote vibrant health.

Review of The Truth About Beauty: Transform Your Looks And Your Life From The Inside Out (Paperback)

Over the years I have read a number of beauty books that have taught me how to look my best using makeup. Kat's book is unique. It teaches you how to achieve greater health so you transform your looks, need minimal makeup and have a radiant glow.

I stumbled across Kat's website using an internet search. Intriqued by what she shared I ordered her book. I am so glad I did. The information it covers is totally unique and is helping me make changes in my life that have greatly improved my health and appearance.
Kat begins by telling you to focus not on looks but on health. She suggests you change your diet, exercise and the products you use. Not through willpower or discipline, but by making "upgrades" that you will enjoy.
Many of the changes she suggests are simple but have enormous positive consequences. For example she says to use a water filter in your shower to filter out the chlorine and other contaminants. I picked up a $20 filter at a local hardware shop.
After the first washing my fine blonde hair was fuller, and shinier than it had been in years. And this has continued from one wash to the next. This tip alone has totally transformed my hair.
The book is packed with information on the best and gentlest ways to treat your whole body so that you become healthy and as a delightful side note as gorgeous as possible!
The book includes 3 parts. Part 1: Uncovering Your True Radiant Potential which includes chapters on overhauling your dawn to duks routines and the process of shedding. Part 2: Feeding and Cultivating Beauty with chapters like drink yourself beautiful, and reclaiming the joy of eating. Part 3: The Makeup-less Makeover including the bathroom-cabinet makeover and how to purify your potions and paints. Kat's book also includes a comprehensive living beauty resource section and a bibliography.
If you are ready to make lasting changes and capture your glow, "The Truth About Beauty" will help you uncover your personal best!

Review of Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Paperback)

I never thought I would be able to talk about life without sugar for more
than 3 days. I am in the process of getting rid of sugar from my diet,
and am proud (and SHOCKED) to say that I have been refined sugar-free
for 19 days. My personal record before this was 8 days (a rarity, most
of the time it was 2 or 3 days!)

Truly, honestly, I have Sugar Shock! to thank for helping me finally
kick the habit. In reading about how sugar sets up a subclinical
infammation that can cause so many diseases like cancer, heart disease,
arthritis, diabetes, etc, it really helped me to gain perspective on my
habit. It didn't happen right away, and I had a few binge episodes
after reading this (the last one being the day after Christmas), and
just imagined what was going on inside my body the whole time. That
took the "fun" out of it for me.I thought I would be battling this problem for the rest of my life, but Connie took the struggle out of it for me.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Product Description
A provocative exposŽ of the negative effects of sugars and simple carbs-and how to break the addiction.

Most readers already know that succumbing to sweets too often can lead to obesity and diabetes.What many don't know, however, is that too many "quickie carbs" can bring on a host of other maladies-such as "brain fog," fatigue, mood swings, heart disease, and even cancer-fromwhich millions may be suffering because of their sugar or carbohydrate habits. Once besieged by 44 seemingly unconnected symptoms, former "sugar addict" Connie Bennett, an experienced journalist, managed to kick sweets and simple carbs in 1998. She improved her health-and uncovered extensive medical research that substantiated her theory: people who eat too many low-caliber culprit carbs could be in sugar shock. Based on the insights of thousands of physicians, nutritionists, researchers, and "sugar sufferers" worldwide, SUGAR SHOCK!(tm) not only addresses how badly sugar affects the body, it demonstrates how everyone can kick the sugar habit.

Review of The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life (Hardcover)

I found a lot of helpful information in this book.Heart disease is explained in a clear manner, and this book is an easy read because the author is so darn funny. I have so many favorite lines from this book. I was seriously cracking up while I read the book (and read it in a day off work, btw--very fast read).I do not follow everything to a T--I still salt my food, but I use less salt and I use almost no prepackaged food at all.I do look at sodium content now.I also buy reduced fat cheese, too.Pritikin suggests nonfat cheese, though.I would feel deprived if I followed all of the diet ideas perfectly. Instead, I look at my healthy vegetarian diet through new eyes and see where I can make it healthier, but still satisfying and delicious.My husband appreciated that Pritikin is scientifically based and has so many studies done on it.One caveat--I am not a fan of the recipes.I'd rather not eat than eat awful food!I am very picky, though.And I'm not a fan of fat and sugar substitutes--I say just use less of the real thing!

Review of The Mars and Venus Diet and Exercise Solution: Create the Brain Chemistry of Health, Happiness, and Lasting Romance (Hardcover)

I read the book, thought "why not try one more that will fail," and tried it. The first week I just did the cleansing drink and morning shake and my lifetime of depression was "gone" and my energy was great!This was enough motivation to start the diet.I have lost 20 lbs in 40 days, I am not hungry or feeling deprived, and not working out to exhaustion.The last time I was able to lose weight was 6 years ago through starving and working out 3 hours a day--I knew at 54, I was NOT going to do that again.But, I have a lot of questions (which as he assures you in his book he is available to answer) that aren't being answered (could be a new book, John!).Also, a cookbook of recipes with the right amounts of carbs, proteins, and healthy fats would be GREAT!Ingredient amounts for Venus and alt. amounts for Mars for dishes : )This book has FINALLLLY given me answers!Thank you!
