Review of Serotonin Solution (Paperback)

This book has completely turned my life around.I thought my bingeing on carbs was simply a matter of willpower. After reading this book, I now understand the biological reason for it. My body was screaming for Seritonin.This book explains how to enable your body to create more seritonin without bingeing.With more seritonin, i no longer have the desire to binge. The author Judith Wurtman does an excellent job of explaining why we get uncontrollable cravings and how to qual them.She also does a great job in explaining why the 'Low Carb Diets' only make you crave carbs more.Thank God for this book.It's helped me understand how your body works and why it craves certain things at different times.Buy it, you won't regret it.

Product Description
Based on Dr. Judith Wurtman's fifteen years of groundbreaking research at M.I.T., The Serotonin Solution is the first book to promote weight loss and eating control through serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for calmness and emotional well-being. Through Wurtman's patented Serotonin Seeker's Diet, we can boost the brain's natural appetite suppressant simply by eating carbohydrates in the right amounts in combination with other foods to put an end to stress-driven emotional overeating as we lose weight.

Along with her basic diet program, Wurtman provides the optimal diet plan to use with the new FDA-approved weight-loss drug Redux -- the first new diet drug in twenty-two years!

Review of Nutrition and Diet Therapy, Fourth Edition (Paperback)

The only reason I ordered this book was for an online course I was taking.It was so much better than the ebook. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that it took longer to ship than most things I get from Amazon. Other than that it was exactly what I needed.

Review of Hypoglycemia: The Classic Healthcare Handbook Completely (Paperback)

There seems to be some disagreement in the reviews of the validity of this book.The foundation of this great book is the over "sugarization" of the American diet that is truly causing havoc to American health. I understand her positions on free range chickens, full spectrum light etc to get the most healthful food product. IMHO that is just a bit beyond the average busy person's time/tolerance for food shopping and preparation. The greatest value by far of this book is it's exposure of hypoglycemia as a serious health problem and its excellent breakdown of how to properly interpret the results of the glucose tolerance test. The disorder of hypoglycemia goes beyond "just having low sugar". Hypoglycemia ties to and creates a very large number of health and personality problems and this book documents that fact exceedingly well.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is overweight, diabetic (or going there),is depressed, has anxiety attacks, or just plain intersted in understanding why low carb is so popular and why it works.
