Weight Loss Books

THANK YOU, JAN YAGER! I'VE LOST 30 LBS IN THREE MONTHS AND I'M STILL GOING! I listen to your audiotape repeatedly and it still motivates me. Everytime I listen to it, I hear something new that hadn't sunk in before. For years the numbers on my scale didn't budge. The only thing that did was the scale trying to jump out of the way and scream everytime I approached it. The seven principles of managing weight are simply listed and explained by the author. This is not a diet. It is an audiotape designed to tell you what worked for the author(who has successfully lost 75 pounds). At first, I was trying to analyze which principle was the best, but I found that the combination of the seven AND FOLLOWING THEM with a strong commitment is the key to lifelong weight management. Thanks Again. Jan Yager changed my life forever.

A day by day guide to inspire and guide a dieter through the whole year. Full of quotations and personal inspirations of the author, it is the perfect gift for a struggling but determined dieter

While The Dakota Diet may not include all the answers to weight-loss questions, the author does provide thought-provoking information that can be motivating to those of us who want to shed pounds. It's an easy read, full of suggestions that can, if readers choose to follow them, lead to a healthier lifestyle.

I have had this book for a long time. I have read it many times. It has kept me on track because it makes so much sense without getting medically specific. In short, it was written for the average person. Everything I eat is on David's "Yes" list and I do my best to stay away from his "No" list. Thanks David.

I never knew dieting could be so fun and easy. I have tried every diet out there and this is the first one that really works for me. It's amazing how if you change the way the way your mind sees your body you can completely change the way you look and feel about yourself.

The collaboration of board-certified family physician Jeffrey I. Barke and public policy consultant Godfrey Harris, The Definitive Southern California Diet : What Really Works, What Usually Doesn't, And Why It Matters is about practical ways to achieve weight control by developing new habits, new techniques, and a new outlook involving food intake that recognizes the difficulties of counting calories or calculating carbohydrate consumption. Readers are show the necessity of, and how to go about, adopting simple lifestyle changes to help control weight and improve personal health -- all while taking into account the imperatives of personal taste, as well as the unavoidable changes wrought by aging. Advocating a relaxed, more causal approach to dieting, The Definitive Southern California Diet will enable the reader to achieve the best result they could hope for with respect to weight control, and over the longest period of time. Highly recommended reading for people serious about their health and physically well-being.

Bill Banks led a deliverance ministry in a backroom of a Christian bookshop, and often helped people with spiritual problems relating to weight. He gives many examples of people he helped, starting with Mary. Mary, the wife of a young pastor wanted deliverance from an eating problem. Every time she tried to slim down for the summer season, she went berserk and ate absolutely everything in sight. Banks was able to discern there was an evil spirit 'of the fear of starvation' that entered as an infant. As a baby she developed a fear of starving because her mother had an insufficient milk supply. This fear lay dormant as a child until Mary tried to diet as an adult. She was afraid she would go hungry so ate like crazy. Since his first encounter with the spirit, Banks has seen it various times affecting other people. He also discovered this evil spirit can enter someone as an adult.

Bill gives a list of several reasons people are overweight including spiritual reasons and emotional ones. The author also talks about the importance of self-control, which he says is probably the most unpopular fruit of the spirit.

The book has three helpful appendixes on `weight control tips', `power scriptures' and `index of spirits encountered'. However the page numbers in the index don't correspond to the actual page numbers in the book! Some of the stranger spirits Banks encountered were `fear of dying in captivity in a foreign land', `feeding hate', `little girl spirit', and `murder'. He discovered spirits are often inherited from parents or there is a second spirit of the same problem. He also observed that the spirit of gluttony was often suspected but it was actually another spirit.

A really interesting book, that opens your eyes to the possibility not all excess weight is caused naturally but can be caused by demons!

As a participant in the Weigh-Down Diet I highly recommend this book as an encouraging addition. It is so beautifully written, so inspiring, it is almost impossible to put down!

BUY THIS BOOK OR JUST SEND THIS GAL MONEY! For those of you who have not had the privilege of reading Ms. Jones' editorials in the Western Mail, you are really missing something. Hannah is a crackerjack writer (perhaps even visionary) and a keen observer of human behaviour (especially her own). Tbe wit of Oscar Wilde, the passion of Anais Ninn and the relative remorselessness of Nabakov. Mona Lisa Jones, as I like to refer to her, will keep you grinning from ear to ear with a barrage of self-effacing epiphanies. Her words are a constant thrill to the eyballs. Nothing contrived here, just sheer delight for Britain's most natural writer.

She has the insight of a soul that is really paying attention coupled with a
