Book Reviews of The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy

Book Review: Scientific facts prove weight loss supplements
Summary: 5 Stars

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (2/07)

When I first looked at this book, my initial thought was "Oh no, not another book on dieting!" However, when I flipped through the pages to see if I would review it or not I was pleasantly surprised that indeed it was a "pharmacy" and not another dieting book. In fact, "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" may be the first and the only book about weight loss supplements that is based on proven and researched scientific facts, and on top of that, written by a medical doctor.

One of the authors, Harry Preuss, MD, is not only a professor at Georgetown Medical Center but he has dietary supplement and nutraceutical research centers that focus on obesity, heart disease and the ever growing insulin resistance. The scientific references in this book not only address the research conducted by Preuss but also by the Mayo Clinic and many European centers.

The contents of the book focus on: fat busters, insulin regulators, carbohydrate inhibitors, fat blockers, appetite suppressors as well as muscle builders. Each section thoroughly explains, in lay terms, the issue, the natural substance e.g. green tea, chromium, etc., possible illnesses if obesity isn't regulated and how to use the product.

One of the important factors I believe the authors included in "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" is their chapter 12 - The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy Supplement Program: Designing the Approach That's Right for You. After reading the book and understanding the natural supplements that are available, the authors' first suggestion is to partner up with a professional, and more importantly reiterate that the supplements alone will not substitute a healthy diet and exercise. Chapter 12 addresses the supplements in a condensed version and suggests considerations as well as gives case studies. Of all the case studies the authors present, it is highly unlikely that an interested reader wouldn't find themselves in one of them.

I've picked up many dieting books over the years and I must say this is the best that I have ever seen. Preuss and Gottlieb present the most concise version of many books put together. They leave out a lot of the filler that is in many books and only confuses the reader. "The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy" is a must for anyone that wants to create a safe way to lose weight and then maintain it.
