What About Mental Fitness?
Whenever I read books like this, it makes me think again that doctor's just don't get it - they ignore the "big picture" of their patient's health and focus on treating symptoms with just Western medicine. That's their business, of course. It's up to consumers to get educated, on that I agree. We can do a lot by keeping physically fit, but what about mental fitness? Whoever talks about that? We are an aging population and more needs to be done to prevent memory loss, etc. Rather than obsolete books, I find services like Agogus.com much more "up" on the holistic perspective.

Too much "Fill"
The content is good but way too much "Fill".The meat of the book could be published in less than 1/3 of the pages of the book. ... Read more

Forget the high-carb, low-carb debate. The glycemic index (GI)--a measure of carbohydrate quality based on how quickly a food raises blood-glucose (blood sugar) levels--is the dietary key to health, say the authors. Contrary to other diets that treat carbohydrates as all alike, Read more

Join the New Glucose Revolution
This is one of the most important nutrition books of our time and has spawned thousands of other nutrition books. Over 3,000 other books have been written about this topic. Eating foods with a low glycemic impact has been a cornerstone of my own eating style.
THE NEW GLUCOSE REVOLUTION
WHENEVER I SEE A BOOK I WANT, I GO TO AMOZON WHERE THE PRICE IS ALWAYS RIGHT.THE BOOK WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AS I WAS SURE IT WOULD BE.

Guidlines Not a Formula
This book shed a lot of light on why I was not succeding in my weight loss goals.I had already given up almost all sugar and all artifical sweetners, eating mostly whole grains, and had been doing a 45-60 min cardio workout 3 times a week and getting no where in the 50 lbs I need to lose.In the past I had a lot of success following Atkins, but felt that it was unhealthy and it left me feeling sluggish and miserable.I stopped Atkins and started the daily losing battle with my weight. After three weeks of following the basic principals I have had successful weight changes for the first time in a long time.

It Works
I have found similar books to be disappointing. This is a very large book with a lot of information that allows you to tailor treatments for you and your family. I have owned the book for about a year and have yet to find an ailment that wasn't covered.
WOW!!!
This book is VERY detailed yet NOT boring. It is very well arranged and the explanations given are concise and easily understandable.This is definitely a must for the library of anyone who is interested in this art!

There's a popular game at baby showers in which the new mom-to-be has to taste jarred baby food and guess its contents. Inevitably, the first comment is "Yuk! How do they eat this stuff?" The answer, of course, is that babies don't know there's an alternative--fresh, delicious, wholesome food made at home. In the beautifully and extensively illustrated Read more

Absolutely best cookbook - don't be afraid to try to cook the amazing and tasty visual treats!
I first checked this book out of the library when my son was a baby and found really awesome recipes for baby food. I could hardly resist eating the peas, leeks and potatoe recipe myself even as a puree! The recipes for party foods were a huge hit for his first birthday. Overnight I became the star of our baby group!
Real people (babies) deserve real food
I used this book for both of my older children (now 7 & 4) and just dug it back out for our new little one (7 months old).Once again I am impressed by the variety of recipes presented.I think offering a wide variety of healthy foods from the start of solid feeding is one of the reasons I don't have any trouble introducing new foods to my older children now.They love their vegitables and enjoy trying all types of food even those that many adults would find new or exotic.I agree that some of the recipes take a bit longer than opening a jar and reheating.Many take the same amount of time as preparing a dish for an adult dinner...but since many of the recipies can be frozen (I make bigger batches and then freeze in small portions that can be thawed as needed)I only need set aside a couple of hours every month or so to have a wide variety of good and healthy dishes available to serve.
help for the cooking challenged
I really like this cookbook.I know my infant needs good nutrition, and now have a great resource to use.The book does use some "new" foods for my family, but now that we have stocked the kitchen it is a snap to try new healthy fun food.My son, 15 months, loves these recipes. They are not the quickest meals in the world, but if you enjoy preparing good food for mealtime, this will be a useful book for you. ... Read more

You've got to read this book!
I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book.
Not just for weight loss.
The book does address weight loss throughout, however it also does a good job of educating the reader in how to balance and maintain pH balance in the body.There is a short chapter educating the reader on blood including slides of blood viewed by a microscope before and after the body is alkaline.If that doesn't convince us to embrace pH balance in the body then the slides of blood after being on the most popular diets will.The book details how different brands of bottled and munincipal water affect body pH. It expounds on the value of fat in the diet.A short chapter indicates optimum foods to eat followed by another short chapter on fitness. The supplements chapter is very well done and supports what I have learned after many years of informal study. There are nice encapsulations throughout the book and nicely done in Chapter 11 "Take Seven: Steps to Your Ideal Weight" pages 190 - 211.
Productive!
This book is inspiring and educational. I used the principles in the book and started feeling better within a few days. My stomach is noticably smaller. I've even shared the book with my mother who suffers from multiple symptoms mentioned in the book. ... Read more

This book is just what I needed.
I've seen some bad reviews of this book, but those people must not have needed it as badly as I did. I found this book after working through my chronic yeast infection for a year.
Excellent!
This book is well organized and easy to follow even for those who are new to the kitchen.When I started this diet this was the main book I used because it made things simple.I started out as a novice cook who was extremely anxious about all the work that I foresaw in giving up sugar, yeast, wheat...and now I don't find it all that difficult and I'm a better cook for it!My only criticism is that sometimes the recipes are too similar, but it does teach a novice like myself what foods work together and how to make alterations.

Turned our boy around
I thought I was fixing reasonably healthy foods, but was amazed to realize that even my all-purpose flour had "malted barley flour" lurking in it.Cooking with the express intent of minimizing neurotoxins has transformed our 6-yr-old high-functioning autism boy.We had seen multiple doctors, and had been told that to function in school he would probably need medication.On this diet, his explosive meltdowns disappeared almost completely starting from the 4th day on Stage III.We also use a probiotic (Kirkman Acidophilus Plus), Yummi Bear vitamins, a calcium supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and the recommended Nystatin.See other books on biological treatment of PDD for the use of activated charcoal to minimize "die-off" reaction from Nystatin.We ramped up the Nystatin slowly, which probably helped.Now we are encouraged enough to explore some of the other PDD biological treatments (e.g. heavy metal detox).I also feel like I have learned how to really cook for the first time in my life!Big learning curve, but worth it!!! ...

Great for Motivation!
Ok...so most people who know me know I have a slight obsession with this show....and I was surprised to note when I was getting the synopsis for this post, one reviewer didn't think that the diet was covered adequately...and in some respects I agree...because the diets for each person on the show is individualized with the help of a dietitian...so they can't really say *all* of the contestants did X, Y & Z and had X results.What the book does give you are some parameters as to what the best choices are and instructs you to go out with that information and make choices based on your own personal preferences and staying within the caloric guidelines.Since I've already begun my own "healthy living" adventure, I already had some firm ideas on what I wanted to do and I found that the book complimented what I already had planned and allowed me to expand the scope a bit.The version of the food pyramid printed in this book is surely more in line with what I think is proper and realistic, so it gets big kudos from me in that respect.The exercise program was brief in my opinion...but again, these were tailored to the specific contestants by professional trainers and they certainly don't' want t-o give away all their secrets either...but the info is good and I suspect you can get more out of it if your willing to buy the exercise DVD that goes with it (I'm renting from Netflix first...to see if it's worth spending the dollars on first).The bulk of the book was personal snippets about the contestants (which I could have lived without...but perhaps necessary for those who didn't watch the show, but are curious about it).There is a selection of recipes at the end which there are about 7-10 that I will try...they all look quite good and are not bad with the fat and calories...so for the price I paid for this book (12.89) I'd say it was definitely worth it...but for those looking for a set in stone, do X, Y & Z diet and exercise plan...this is not going to make you happy, you may want to look elsewhere.

Far more than your usual weight loss title
The Biggest Loser: The Weight-Loss Program To Transform Your Body, Health And Life (1594863849, $18.95) comes from the Biggest Loser Experts, cast, and Maggie Greenwood-Robinson, Ph.D. and provides the popular NBC-TV show's insights on how overweight contestants teamed with celebrity trainers to shape up. Millions have seen the changes and show: in book form you'll have easier access to the plans designed by the show's medical experts, along with recipes, to make the most of the trainer tips. A 12-week fat-blasting program pairs with tips and motivators along with participant insights and experiences making for far more than your usual weight loss title.
Perfect for motivation and inspiration!
Overall, this is a very good book especially for "fans" of the show. I watch it only from time to time so I am not its "fan". The most valuable part of this book is the superior motivation and inspiration it will definitely provide you. It is really amazing to read about the results of actually morbidly obese men and women who ACHIEVED their desired weight. I have the feeling that obese people tend to get disappointed and discouraged rather fast. That's why the book will be of great help, if you face such issues.

Disappointed
I mostly wanted to be able to look up regular food made at home (i.e.biscuits, macaroni and cheese). I resorted to trying to think of a company thatmakes that food, so I could look up a brand name, but this didn't always work. The Quick Guide sometimes helped in finding these general foods, but not always.
this book lives in my purse
it goes everywhere with me.it's one of those little guides that i can't imagine living without.i use it every day. it lives in my purse.

A handy tool
This book is good for diabetics or anyone counting carbohydrates.Some extraneous information (protein and sodium) is included.Most major resturant chain foods are included. Must use index in back to locate foods since book is not alphabetic. ... Read more

TOO COMPLICATED
WAY TOO COMPLICATED DIET TO FOLLOW
common sense or not?
I lost 5lbs the first 2 weeks. I regularly eat very heathy, but need to exercise more(or at all), so i was suprised that i lost the 5lbs just from eating a little healthier and have managed to keep it off. I think it is a good book if you are interested in learning better eating habbits, if you eat poorly. Alot of it is common sense about portion size and eating the right foods for your body to function properly. I don't think you need all the suppliments that she wants you to take, a good multivitamin doesn't hurt though. I didn't follow through after the two weeks because of my schedule, but i do plan to give the rest of it a shot. I think if you need something to jump start you to eat healthy and get rid of all the junk you eat than this is a good way to go. If you really like your junk food than this book is not for you.

Ann Gittleman is great.
This doc really knows her stuff.While you might need to have a high IQ and time to digest.... She is very very informative.

THE NEW GLUCOSE GENERATION SHOPPERS GUIDE
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.VERY INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND

More U.S. Products
Readers frustrated by the lack of information on common U.S. -based foods in some earlier editions will be pleased with this updated listing. Mostly generalized foods ("graham crackers, plain") and some U.S. brand names ("Snickers bar, regular") are included with glycemic index, common serving size, available carboyhdrate (carbs-fiber) per serving, and glycemic load per serving.
Of little value
I bought this book with "The new Glucose Revolution: Low GI Guide to Diabetes." Compared with the other book, getting this one was superfluous as both books contain essentially the same information (I don't know if this is the case for all books of the series).The guts of both books consists of a table of GI values, total carbs and GL per serving.This table is preceded by a short introduction and discussion, and then followed by another table of food classes with individual items ranked by low, medium and high GI values.Both books have these features, but I did notice some differences in GI values given for the same food item between both books.Why is this?Was there originally an error made in one book and corrected in this one (this book was published later)?

this does work!
I was feeling a little lost when I started this diet. I have done them all: Atkins, Thurmond, Weight Watchers, and so on. You get the picture. They all work, but with the exception of Weight Watchers, they all got boring or were intolerable. How long can one go without one's favorite foods? Also, at middle age and female I found it harder to shed the pounds, even with my 5 days of cardio. I started this diet about 8 weeks ago and I really like it. I have lost 16 pounds and still loosing. Moreover, because you eat every three hours I don't find that I am hungry. The best part is I can still incoporate my favorite foods on this plan. I really find this one doable. The best part is I find myself in situations where I eat out a lot. With this plan, that too, can be done. The only area for improvement, at least for me, is he does not stress the exercise aspect in the book or indicates only 8 minutes will do. I do much more than 8 minutes daily, which I believe is necessary for weight loss and good health. However, overall, I really like this way of eating and will continue to do so once I reach my goal.

Way of Life... Not another Diet
If you are looking for a way of life instead of another diet, I suggest you read this book.Since being on the program 6 weeks, I am down 16 lbs.I eat every 3 hours, which includes 3 balanced meals, 2 snacks (I suggest the 3 Hour Diet Bars), and a treat.I find I don't have the lose of energy half way through my day and feel much, much better.Because I am never starving, I can easily walk past temptations without giving it a second thought.I perfer an apple over a brownie these days!This from a former junk food junkie!!! ...

Not another diet book.
This is an excellent book that deals with the reasons why people overeat, not just another diet. Most people do not overeat because they're hungry. This book actually teaches people what hunger feels like again. It also incorporates good nutrition and increased activity.

I'm Losing Weight and I'm Not On A Diet!
I would give this book 10 stars if I could! I had done every diet known to man, and I lost weight, but I kept putting it back on.I realized that "diets" don't work for me.I had completly given up any hope for attaining a lean figure. How could I live without Starbucks Mocha Chip ice cream in my life?Then I read "Am I Hungry" and my life is turned around!Michelle's easy step-by-step methods have taught me how to understand my hunger and eating cycles, and also how to give my body what it needs and wants.I have lost 16 pounds in a few short months and I get to eat ice cream, too!All I need to ask myself is "Am I Hungry?".

Hope for Overeaters!
This book has changed how I look at food! The hands-on, practical strategies presented in this book make sense and are definitely attainable. Each chapter is broken into sections that help develop intuitive, intentional, instinctive eating skills; teach us how to learn to move our bodies again; and how to make healthyfood choices, empowered with a knowledge base of what we really need to fuel our bodies! This is a powerful program, no shame or guilt and all food fits! So take charge of your life and your health, you can do it! I also highly recommend the seminars! ... Read more

LISTEN!!! for anyone who read the reviews about Dr. Young's lack of cred
This book is full of amazing health advice that, for the most part you already knew (you just didn't know exactly why it was healthy). Yes this diet, if followed word for word is difficult. WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW ANYTHING WORD FOR WORD. Fundamentalist religious people don't even follow their book of choice word for word. Take what works for you and make it work for you. Super hydration, and green supplements are essential for our malnutritioned society. Eat more green vegetables. Eat higher water rich foods. Lower your intake of refined sugars (and fruit juice that averages 50 grams of sugar per serving!). Are these pieces of advice that need credential backing. Listen, If you asked ten ivy-league educated doctors their opinion on any given health issue, you would get ten different answer, maybe more depending on what drug company they are more closely linked to. BE LOGICAL. The majority of this book is irrefutable. The rest, as with any new theory you'll have to exercise faith. Which, by the way is what you're constantly doing with western medicine.

change your life
With the changes today in how we view our health, this book is great.The need to understand how we can control our own health is without so many drugs and is within these pages.

a PH Miracle for life
I have been following this program for 2 1/2 years. I was dealing with numerous health challenges, some quite serious. I started this, quit drinking coffee, soda, eating meat and have never looked back. My extreme acidreflux was gone in a matter of days. I lost 28 pound in just under 3 months, my rosacea I have suffered with for 5+ years is completely gone. I have strangers tell me how beautiful my skin looks and I no longer have flare ups, I get facials, peels and go in the sun! My liver and digestive system are working again! This program may sound complicated, but it is not. It is the simplicity of it that makes it work. And puts all the responsibility in your hands for your health. I have fired my Doctor!

Editorial Review

"We have been trying to feed our hurting, longing hearts with physical food," writes Gwen Shamblin, registered dietician and founder of the Weigh Down program, which emphasizes "God's power--not 'will power.'" This book offers instruction on how to eat only when physically hungry, how to "nourish the soul with a relationship with God," and how not to confuse different hunger urges. The diet plan teaches you not to overeat by letting you eat exactly what you want, but much less of it. Read more

Appetite control book
This book is all about controlling your appetite. Stop eating when you are full. This book is written from a Christian perspective with also recommends prayer and diet as part of your spriritual life. The author recommends eating only the best part of your meal and leave what you do not want on your plate. The most important principle of all this book teaches is STOP EATING WHEN YOU ARE FULL. This one principle alone boils down what has caused our obesity epedemic in this country, not knowing what it feels like to be full. The author teaches you what hunger feels like and how to use it to guide you eating. This is a huge part of the weight loss puzzle, I would also recommend the following that taught me how to lose 60 pounds and keep it off:
Buyer Beware -- Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
If it were possible to give an author zero stars, I would have.This book is seriously flawed for two reasons:
BEWARE
I was doing the new change series and felt something wasn't right.Found out on the internet it's a cult all the way.This book is the mildest of all her teachings.Let me tell you if you don't do it her way you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.It's all so subtle when you sit there week after week and watch the dvd's it's all about her and her son and so subtle Remnant Fellowship the only called out ones.You'd better get in the arch or you are not the true followers of the Lord.Well Gwen we are saved by Grace through faith,it's a gift from God,not of works so no one can boast! That's all she does is boast how sinless or tries to be sinless she is and her perfect Remnant.I have been talking to several people that she has judge and judged hard and it makes me sick! Just look up on the internet type in Gwen Shamblin and you will judge for yourself what this Weighdown teaching is all about.Judge not least you be judge and why do you look at the speak in your brothers eye when all the time you have a log in your own eye?I never heard anything about God's Grace it's all twisted scripture.There's fruit all right in these peoples lives well other cults have fruit too! And the really overweight people if they are totally honest with you they starved themselves to get the rest of their weight off.JUST BEWARE!!! ... Read more

THE Diet!
Dr. Gallands book was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to give it a try because I was at my wits end with all the diets out there.I had tried Weight Watchers, South Beach...etc, and always lost a few pounds but gained them back and then some.After following Dr. Gallands diet for 10 days, I had lost 11 pounds.My skin actually felt smoother and my energy levels went sky high!2 months later I am down 20 pounds and have no intention of stopping.The recipes are easy, the foods are delicious and my cravings for refined sugar and flour are completely gone. I now look forward to snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables and I can even go out to restaurants and choose healthy, delicious foods.I don't look at it as a diet anymore, I look at it as a lifestyle change. This will be the last diet book you will ever buy.Trust me, If I could do it, anyone can!

The Fat Resistance Diet by Leo Galland, M.D.
The Fat Resistance Diet by Leo Galland, M.D. explains how important curing inflammation is to our over all health and how to do it with food, the side effect of this type of diet is weight loss. The book has daily meal plans, recipes, including a shopping list and lists of healthy food. The Fat Resistance Diet has exercises for stress reduction and to strengthen the torso for flexibility, which improves posture. Leo Galland, M.D. gives the reader the newest medical information and a step-by-step plans on how to become healthier. I highly recommend this book.

Fat Resistance Diet
While the book was easy to read, preparing the food is quite time consuming if cooking is not something you really enjoy.Convenience foods aren't anywhere on this diet.Everything is fresh and requires lots of chopping. For the most part, my husband and I like the foods.However, during the first two weeks of the diet I felt that I was constantly Shopping for products, Preparing food, Eating food, or Thinking about preparing the food!!! It was stressful!And after all of that work I only lost two pounds in the first two weeks. The author says you will loose six to ten pounds in the first two weeks.I've kept up the diet (four weeks now) and it has gotten easier to prepare the foods.I have lost a total of four pounds now.The biggest change for me is cooking breakfast.In the past I typically ate cold cereal and a piece of fruit.This diet requires that one set aside time to prepare omelets and frittatas for the morning meal.While time consuming (if you are in a rush in the mornings) these breakfasts taste very good!In these four weeks I've tried some new foods. I am eating foods that are good for my health.Just wish I had lost more weight by now.I only wanted to loose 10 pounds. I intend to continue this diet. ... Read more

The Best Nutrition Information I Have Read
