Book Reviews of The Diet Cure
Book Review: had some good advice
Summary: 3 Stars
While i didn't find it a cure-all, and according to the book you end up taking a lot of supplements, too much for me, I still got some good advice out of this book. It gives a lot of supplement advice to take, and some of it I tried, like taking L-Glutamine for sugar cravings, and it worked... and food advice, like eat your fruit with some kind of protein to help stop cravings, and that worked too. The book is divided into different sections for different problems you may have, like thyroid, or weightloss or whatever and gives you corresponding advice for each problem. I found, though, that that made some of the advice a little hard to find because I still found good advice in each section even if it didn't pertain to me... so if you are interested in a specific supplement for example, go into the index and look it up in all the chapters, and you will learn more than what was just in the chapters that pertained to you.
Book Review: Maks Sense of it All
Summary: 5 Stars
Written for the lay person, but loaded with the scientific basis of nutrition and what the foods we eat do once inside our bodies. I'm following the advice given in the book and it has been spot on. I recognized a lot from college chemistry and biology, but this was far, far easier to understand and apply. I now look at food in a whole new light and feel better than I have in years. My only criticism would be that she continually refers you to other chapters, which made sense within the context of whatever subject she was on, but you had to keep going to the table of contents. It would have been helpful to have the chapter number included on the top of the right hand page so you could leaf through to the referred chapter quickly, but all in all a small inconvenience in an otherwise great experience. This book is a keeper for future reference, and I have already recommended it to some friends.Book Review: Stop the food cravings
Summary: 4 Stars
This book, and the Mood Cure, by the same author, really helped me. The other book helped with mood swings, and other menopause stuff, this one helped me to be able to stop almost all of my food cravings. I can actually eat a bite or two of chocolate and STOP. Something I was rarely able to do before I started following the recommended regimine in this book.
Until I started doing what is recommended in this book, I didn't buy or make sweet things very often. Because if they were in the house, I'd keep going back to them until they were gone. Once I started taking the amino acids I was evidently deficient in, I was able to eat a bit and leave it alone, like a regular person. LOL I can buy a pack of cookies, eat 2 or 3, and leave the rest for the next day. Amazing.
This worked for me.
Book Review: Finally something that makes sense...
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally a book that makes sense, and not empty promises. I've battled with weight issues since puberty, and never found anything that could help with the cravings, and the less I ate the heavier I got. The information on amino acid replacement has allowed me to supplement my diet, and eat a normal amout of food. Who would have believed that you could lose weight on 2,000 calories a day. I've never been more satisfied and balanced in my life. I wish I could send this book to everyone who ever tried to get healthy by eating nothing but fruits and vegetables. I finally feel like I have to tools to create the active lifestyle I have always wanted. Where's the Beef!Book Review: Finally - something that makes sense!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
On the advice of a nutritionist, whose sister is a friend, I ordered this book and am devouring it! Concisely written, with examples that are on point, I find myself and my food consumption delineated in almost every chapter!
I wanted to start on the supplements right after Kate's story in the introduction, but actually held off (which was NOT an easy task!). For those of us who have struggled with weight and so many other health concerns, it is nice to see this all addressed. I am NOT alone with these problems and they ARE solveable. Eureka !!! take your time - read and assimilate all the book has to say and then JUST DO IT!!!
