Dieting Books

This is an excellent, concise guide that will help you figure out if you or a loved one has parasites. What is even better is the program for eliminating parasites from your body. I have been looking everywhere for help and this is the first place I have found hope that I can overcome my parasite problem. Anyone who has a chronic illness should carefully read this book and consider whether or not parasites could be the true cause of their disease.

I had to read this for my class, but it is a very interesting. If you are into the history of the American diet I would highly recommend this book.

This book is phenomenal and acts as an enabler for the reader to really accomplish lifetime goals of weight loss. Not too long-winded and very resourceful in many respects. The author has proven his own techniques that the plan works! Losing weight is one thing, keeping the pounds off forever is another, and this book will guide you through it all!

Performance Nutrition For Winter Sports by Monique Ryan is a wonderful reference and guideline for applying sound nutritional principles that will enhance our skiing performance, both cross country and downhill. Whether you're a racer or a recreational skier, there is plenty of advice on how to get the most out of your trips to the slopes. Useful meal plans and recipes, too. -MichiganSkier.com

I read this book because of an article that I saw in Women First Magazine, and also because I had been hearing a lot about "phytonutrients." I had experienced my worst winter yet in terms of feeling sluggish with no energy, and wanted to take charge of my health after my doctor told me that I was "just getting older." I also have a family history of heart disease and cancer. I am 44 years old and not ready to give up yet! So, I posted the "phytofood pyramid" on my refrigerator and began to follow it - 6 servings of vegetables, 1 serving of soy, 1-2 servings of fruit, 1-2 servings of whole wheat and beans. Within a week, I have gained much more energy and have dropped weight - (a friend told me to take chromiun picolinate 3 times a day before meals - it regulates your blood sugar and burns fat). I feel so good that I am going to continue on this for the rest of my life. Incidentally, I still walk by candy bars and ice cream and want them badly, but after reading about what the high fat, high sugar & high salt does to my body to give me heart disease, cancer and diabetes, I stay away from them and substitute them with real fruit, sorbet, and nonfat frozen yogurt. And a wonderful way to drink soy milk is to use it in your chai - it makes a great nightcap!

This book is filled with so many wonderful recipes. I can't decide what to make first.

I have read a ton of books and advice on diet and diabetes. This is the sum of all the good things in diabetes dieting. Because it emphasizes weight loss, it actually provides a means to reverse the symptoms of diabetes rather than just control blood sugar. An excellent book!

This book will give you so much helpful information about every day foods that can help your health and well being that you will be surprised and actually start buying these everyday foods that are so good and so good for you--I promise you , you won't be able to look at them in the grocery store and not remember how helpful a few berries can be for you.

The Power of Your Plate is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read concerning the detrimental effects on the body due to improper food choices. Dr. Neal D. Barnard, presedent of the physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, along with 20 health experts guide the reader through a journey geared towards better health by illuminating all sources of animal products from the plate. They help one realize how eating wisely is truly a gold mine attainable to us all. The relationship of diet and disease is viewed from different parts of the world to explain why Americans have such a high rate of cardio vascular disease, strokes, high blood pressure, cancer and more. Anyone who would like to live a full healthy life and avoid ailments that are common in America needs to read this book. It does not tell you to eat less. It explains how to eat right for the rest of your life. Unlike most diets, this is more of a plan, and following it will help insure you do not become a stastistic like most Americans eventially do. I have written a 15 page critique on this book. If you are interested, I will email you a copy.
