Book Reviews of The Menopause Diet
Book Review: The Menopause Diet
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't waste your time on this one. What a HUGE downer to read. It seems that the author has bigger issues than menopause, like chronic negativity. From cover to cover this book is filled with do not eat this, do not buy that, if you eat this you may die of that! Then to add insult to injury, she continues with her personal opinions of different exercise types that can cause injury. Give me a break, I, for one, am not motivated by the SCARED SKINNY tactics of this book. And finally, she actually promotes the use of hormone therapy which in my own physician's opinion may be risky. ENOUGH ALREADY... Back to portion control, good choices, exercise and not living in fear. This book went into the trash, it is not even good enough to recycle...Book Review: Duplicate of the Goddess Diet
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this and the Goddess Diet and they are essentially, the same book. The chapters are rearranged but it is the same "summarized" information in each book. Reviews tout Dr. Gillespie as having the ability to diseminate medical informaion in easy to understand terms. If you want the Cliff Notes of Low GI eating, then this is the book for you. Save your money and buy the Glycemic Revolution. This is the diet she espouses but she gives you minimal information-certainly not enough to follow a low GI plan successfully.Book Review: Way too technical!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a degree in scince and my head was spinningn trying to read this book!! I was confused by what I could or could not eat.
The only helpful information I received was that every woman goes thru this and with the right diet and exercise you can change it.
But I will not find the right diet or exercise with this book!
I do recommend " fit after 40" by prevention. It gives a simple overview as to why your body is changing and has photos of different exercises along with a diet program.
Book Review: This book shoots straight from the hip
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very informative. There is a lot of medical infomation but that's what I was looking for.Dr. Gillespie is very straight forward so if you don't want to hear the truth about how you body is changing then this isn't the book for you.
Her diet has stopped my blood sugar drops and I've lost a couple of pounds in a week.
The book is a slow read because it's not written to be entertaining but give you the information you need to prevent or get rid or that "menopot."
Book Review: Atkins diet in sheeps clothing
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book very disappointing. I already own Dr. Atkins book and there isn't really any difference in the actual diet. The information on hormone therapy was interesting, but most of the information regarding recommended brands and doses of estrogen was available on the authors web site. If, like me, you have allergies to dairy products, eggs, or nuts, the companion book, "Mini-Meal Cookbook", is a waste of money.
