2010-09-07 02:08:26The Beck Diet Solution Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person
The Beck Diet Solution Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person The Beck Diet Solution is the Missing Ingredient in Weight Loss Lose weight with confidence and keep it off for a lifetime! Battle your sabotaging habits! Resist tempting food even if it s right in front of you! Confidently say, No, thank you to food pushers! Put an end to emotional eating! Confidently say, No, thank you to food pushers! Conquer every excuse you ve ever used to overeat, binge, or backslide! Any sensible diet will help you lose weight, but the challenge for 90% of Americans is actually staying on the diet they choose. Enter Dr. Judith Beck and The Beck Diet Solution. Dr. Beck, one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy, has created a six-week plan that will help people stick with their diet, lose weight with confidence, and keep weight off for a lifetime. This program is not only based on the author s personal success and on her success with her many clients, but also on published research. It all starts with how you think. With other programs, you think about nothing but food: counting, weighing, and worst of all, food you can t have. This way of thinking inevitably contributes to diet failure. The Beck Diet Solution is the only program that helps dieters use Cognitive Therapy methods scientifically proven over 20 years to forever change those treacherous thought patterns that lead to overeating, cheating, excuses, and other dieting downfalls. Features This breakthrough six-week plan assures success by helping you assess the advantages of weight loss, pick a sensible diet and exercise program, set a goal, line up support, and prepare your environment all this before starting any diet. This unique approach is key to preventing the downfalls that so often lead to failure. A new task is presented each day to build psychological skills to deal with the challenges of hunger and craving, overeating, alcohol, eating out, special occasions, vacations, stress, and much more. Healthy habits are established with to-do lists, reasons and ways to do the tasks, and how to deal with negative thoughts. One day a week is designated to Take a Breather. Easy-to-use, flexible, and proven tools are found throughout the program, including daily goals; weekly planner pages; and motivational coping cards for handling time/energy hurdles, eating out, and other high-risk situations. User Ratings and Reviews 4 Stars It WORKS! Highly Recommended. I have used this book, along with WeightWatchers Online to lose 50 pound in 6 months. 2 Stars Audio version The book has terrific & helpful ideas but the reader of the auio version is annoying. She emphasizes certain words in a sing-songy way. She saound like she is advertising something, instead of sharing valuable informtaion. I have a difficult time listening to it, and therefore, find it had to implement the tips from this book. 5 Stars The Beck Diet Solution The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person Follow this program and this could be the end of struggles with how you feel about your body .and a never ending cycle of weight loss & gain. I could probably teach people about dieting after all the diets I have been on but this is the first approach that is so directly focused on training my brain to think like a thin person. Yes, I will have to pay attention to my eating during my life but the struggle and self-abuse of my thought is now something I can control by thinking like a thin person Buy it now! 1 Star Just another diet book I am usually a big fan of Beck and her cognitive therapy work. But this book isn t really her best work. Its just another quick fix diet book, with the focus on short term rather than long term change, and even some of the guilt stuff. The process of working out new thoughts is not interactive enough to hold, the new thoughts she suggests are sometimes the very type of thoughts folks who are losing weight actually guilt themselves with. Good idea, bad application. I have tried a few CBT workbooks with my clients, and this one is going right back to amazon. Nothing new here! 3 Stars A good way to retrain your brain I found out about this book in an article from Woman s Day or Good Housekeeping. I had checked out the book from the library and found out it was a six week long period for the book, so I decided to purchase it instead. First off, this is NOT a diet book. It is a side note to a diet or healthful eating. The advice is sound. Cognative therapy is one of the best ways to retrain your brain on food. It gives you small steps each way. Some may be harder to do than others, but you keep doing it step by step. I m still only on Day 8, but the book says to take things in your own time, but so far, a lot of the ideas of worked. I ve enjoyed reading it because she constantly encourages you and says, no one is perfect. And no one is. Buy/More Info
2010-09-06 23:00:00Lose Weight Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days Second Edition
Lose Weight Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days Second Edition This is the first book devoted exclusively to the Master Cleanse since Stanley Burroughs wrote the original book in 1976. Written in a clear, simple style, it is based on the author s coaching hundreds of people, both live and on one of the largest Internet bulletin boards. It covers the widespread nature of obesity, the body s method of handling toxins by storing them in fat cells, how to do the cleanse, what detox symptoms are, what to do about them and what pitfalls to avoid. This book also contains personal experiences from scores of people as they did the cleanse day by, what to expect, which days are the worst, how the cleanse affects women, what ingredients to buy and answers the 70 most frequently asked questions. The author, Peter Glickman, has been a chiropractic clinic director, chelation clinic director alternative medical procedure for plugged arteries, contributing editor to an online alternative health newsletter and president of two computer software companies. Publisher of best selling diet books prefers Glickman s LOSE WEIGHT to Craig Claiborne s By Thomas Lipscomb March 23, 2008 As the publisher of the number one bestselling CRAIG CLAIBORNE GOURMET DIET, I have tried both Glickman s and Claiborne s regimes, and Glickman s works far better. I lost 20 lbs in 10 days, and made a major alteration to my permanent diet that keeps the weight off. The diet is simple, sound, easy to master and execute and it works. Most diets are about as complicated as IRS instructions for your tax return and one can quickly find an excuse for giving up. Following up the diet with a sigmoidoscopy to take advantage of the newly cleared intestinal tract should be the ultimate way to detect and prevent colon and intestinal cancers. Any book this short that is this clear and this good should be in everyone s library. User Ratings and Reviews 1 Star What was I thinking A women s magazine article peaked my interst in the cleanse, and referenced Glickman s book. The book is repetative, repetative, and let me repeat myself, repetative and boring. The basis of the cleanse is simple, so the steps are repeated time and again over the first several pages he didn t even reword them. The rest of the 150 pages are reprints of postings to his website from several years ago, the majority regarding bowel movements. I ended up purchasing The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs, which is succinct. The bottom line on this cleanse, regardless of who s book you read, is that it is ridiculous. Why anyone, including myself, would think that lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper are intelligent choices for a cleanse I m shaking my head. 5 Stars A pick for those who are looking for personal health treatments There is no price tag on health and happiness. Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days: Take Charge of Your Health with the Master Cleanse is a guide to the master cleanse, a practice that can help people begin their trek to a more complete health experience. With instructions as well as anecdotes from others reflecting on their cleansing experience, Lose Weight, Have More Energy, & Be Happier in 10 Days is a pick for those who are looking for personal health treatments. 4 Stars great book This book not only provides a wealth of information from the author s point of view, but also partakers of the experience that is the Master Cleanse as well. All those who have shared their experiences are just as important to the new readers as much as what the author is telling us. 5 Stars Loved this BOOK! I followed this detox for the ten days and lost almost 10 pounds! Wahoo! Plus I felt amazing afterwards. I plan on doing it again in a couple of months If you are looking to start a healthy lifestyle this is the book for you! 5 Stars Prompt delivery in great condition I recieved the book I ordered in a quarter of the time expected. It arrived in better than expected condition. I will use this seller in the future. Buy/More Info

Master Your Metabolism The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot and Healthy Body Does it feel as if you re fighting your body to lose even one pound or just to maintain your current weight Respected health and wellness expert and bestselling author Jillian Michaels has been there, too. So she consulted top experts in the field of metabolism and discovered that she d inadvertently been abusing her endocrine system for years. After fixing her own metabolism, she decided to share what she learned by devising this simple, 3-phase plan that engages all the weight-loss hormones including the friendly HGH, testosterone, DHEA; and the not-so-friendly: insulin, cortisol, and excess estrogen. In Master Your Metabolism, discover how to: REMOVE anti-nutrients from your diet RESTORE foods that speak directly to fat-burning genes REBALANCE energy and your hormones for effortless weight loss Michaels offers a wealth of information throughout, including: shopping lists and online shopping resources, hormone-trigger food charts, how to eat power nutrient foods on a budget, smart strategies for eating out, quick and easy recipes, as well as mini-programs for addressing PMS, andropause, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and menopause. User Ratings and Reviews 5 Stars AMAZING BOOK! Jillian s book was the ticket I needed to get motivated, get informed, and get involved with healthy real weight loss. This book gives you so much info about why you should eat healthy, which was exactly what I needed to keep motivated to eat healthy. She talks about the science of your hormones, and how they affect your metabolism, and it makes you feel so much better and understand more about why you and so many other people are overweight. I have started eating organic and love the way it makes me feel! Pair this will Jillian s workout videos and I feel more healthy than ever! 1 Star Totally missing obesogen issue Decent, if not really in-depth, look at how our hormones get disrupted, but there s really no original reporting. And most of the first few chapters are her talking about dark splotches on her face and all this other personal stuff. Yuck. I picked up The New American Diet after reading about it in the Wall Street Journal, and it is much more scientific and authoritative. The New American Diet: How secret obesogens are making us fat, and the 6-week plan that will flatten your belly for good!You d think, with all the controversy over how obesogens disrupt our hormones, that Michaels would have mentioned them! Sloppy 4 Stars Very informative This book explains in detail why we need to eat, and why we need to eat it. It s main argument is that the chemicals of the food industry have made our bodies sick and fat. The book uses a great amount of scientific knowledge to convince you of it s main point. Some other reviewers saw this as a detriment which I don t understand. Granted, I took some chemistry in college, but it wasn t so complex that you can t follow and they do simplify it. Just like another reviewer said the basic tenets of this book is quite simple. Get off the junk that our corrupted food industry is producing sorry for that liberal rant, wont happen again and eat organic, rid yourself of products that have high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, glutamates, hydrogenated fats, and simple carbs. If you don t know what these are, google it or buy the book, it explains it well also. The only criticism I have is one of economics. Organic is expensive, as other reviewers have said. However, as the author points out, long term medical bills and being fat cost more. Also, author argues to do what you can. Buy organic when you can is still preferable to not buying it at all. 5 Stars Good information, good starting point This book provides a great overview of hormones and how they impact our bodies and lives. I m not going to repeat what others have said about eatting clean , and the need to use our bodies .That s why we ve got them after all. What I will say is she covers the bases the hormones and disorders that impact our weight and wellbeing not just the hormones that pack the pounds on. After reading this I did realize, on a personal level, that I needed to do more research on a few specifics .but I would not have even considered hormone imbalance as being a factor if it weren t for this book. I bought this book in a store, having had the opportunity to skim it prior to purchase, and was impressed with the research and science that went into it. When I saw the book I thought it might be gimmicky but it isn t. It s real and it s solid. I own and use.. Jillian s workout DVDs I ve never watched the Biggest Loser , but my regard and respect for her increased substanially after reading this book written with integrity. 2 Stars You need a Masters Degree to decipher this book I am an educated woman, but I had to read this several times to get the whole picture. Even then, the book could have used a few more chapters ..Now that you understand the science behind this concept, do this. Also, it is confusing as to what Jillian is to referring to when it comes to Carbs, Fat and Protein. As an old Adkins fan, I know Beans as Carbs and a big no no. Time will tell Buy/More Info

This cookbook is more than just a cookbook its packed full of helpful information.. just awesome!!!! If you buy this book you will not be disappointed!!! The recipes are easy to make and very flavorful. its a must have book!!!! 5 Stars simply amazing As a picky eater, I was nervous about trying some of the recipes in Squeaky Gourmet but soon found that the recipes are easy to create and delicious!

Finding a healthy, easy to follow cookbook filled with tasty recipes that include all nutritional content is NOT easy- The Squeaky Gourmet is all of these and more!! It is a must need for every health conscious Mom!! 4 Stars Squeaky Gourmet When I first received this cookbook, I was very disappointed. From the reviews and the author s website, I had the impression that there would be a picture for each recipe. This is not true; there are few pictures. I thought that it was a bit overpriced for the fact that is it not hardcover. The first recipe I tried had a typo Southwestern Burgers. I was disappointed when I was flipping through the recipes because none of that really got me excited to try them. Nonetheless, I tried them anyway and everything I ve tried has been delicious. Although the recipes are VERY simple, they are delicious. I thought they would be too boring because there are so little ingredients required, but this is not the case. If price is not an issue for you, I would purchase this cookbook. 5 Stars Not just for health nuts I brought the cook book with the best of intentions to follow a totally clean diet. While I do not always get it right,the cook book as vastly improved the quality of the meals I eat and that I serve my kids! They love the Western States chili,the Apple Zucchini muffins. It s full of inexpensive ideas to eat cleaner.Like how easy it is to grind the oatmeal to make oat flower VS buying it ! LOT less expensive I find it to be a funny well thought out and very useful cookbook. Looking forward to the next one also! Buy/More Info

Acclaimed raw chef Angela Elliot shows how to ship up mouth-watering lasagne, spaghetti marinara, stuffed mushrooms, broccoli in cheese sauce, apple pie, decadent whipped cream and strawberries, chocolate shake, and more all in about five minutes, with easy-to-find ingredients and just a blender or food processor.

Includes Color Photos Book Specs Paper BackPublisher: Book Publishing CompanyPrinted: 2007Pages: 128 Table of Contents Foreword by David Wolfe Preface Acknowledgements My Story Why Alive in Five Why Raw Food The Raw Food Pantry Essential Equipment Helpful Tips A Guide to Fruits Storing Fruits and Vegetables A Menu Plan for One Week Beverages Appetizers Heavenly Salads Soups Sauces Delightful Entrees Scrumptious Desserts Suppliers About the Author User Ratings and Reviews 2 Stars So-So I am looking forward to eventually making some of the meals in here. However, the author has a list of appliances she recommends owning to prepare most of the food including a food processor which I do not own. She also suggests having certain nuts or seeds sitting in chilled water in your refrigerator. However, she states these are only good for 3 days. Sometimes I have one meal planned in my head in the morning but when I get home from work, I decide to go with a quicker meal. I can t have seeds and nuts sitting in my refrigerator on the off chance that I might use them. If I don t, they ll quickly go bad and that s a waste of money. I guess for someone who is committed to going raw all the way, this book offers quite a few ideas. However, for someone just trying to start a healthier lifestyle, this might not be an ideal book to jump to. 1 Star For serious raw foodists looking for simple recipes ONLY This is a book for serious raw foodists. Most recipes require pre-somethinged something, soaked raw nuts and they re byproducts are most often called for. I just wanted to incorporate a few interesting gourmet raw meals into our regular diet. I didn t expect to need many dollars of unusual ingredients. And I certainly don t want to eat so many avacados! Thought raw meant lean some of these recipes are very high in calories. And to echo another reviewer I don t see anything gourmet here. This certainly wasn t for me. 3 Stars Ehh I found about every third recipe was good. I ve tried many of them and many were disasters just didn t taste good, the amounts of certain ingredients looked off to me, and I should have trusted my judgement. A few very good recipes, though. AS my very first raw recipe book, this was hit and miss. 5 Stars Alive in 5 is a must in any kitchen An awesome addition to any raw foods kitchen. All the recipes are easy to make and taste fantastic. I highly recommend it. 5 Stars Alive in Five: Raw Gourmet Meals What a treasure for someone just starting to eat raw foods. Two of the soups will be forever on my menus and the raw apple pie was a real success at a recent gathering. Easy directions. Buy/More Info
