Weight Loss Books

Please note this is an outdated version of a report -- both the old report and the new edition are available FOR FREE for free at the actual author's web site www.healthyamericans.org.

In some ways this is another book on the difficulties of dieting and why it often does not work. On the other hand, it provides one of the most thorough examinations of weight problems that you can find. Most of the book has almost nothing to do with dieting. Instead the author examines emotional factors in weight control, psychological factors, self-esteem, biochemical individuality, hormones, minerals, toxicity, food allergies, blood type, emotional balance, stress, toxic pollutants, and even parasites. In short, she examines all the various factors that have been attributed to weight problems.

She does an excellent job of discussing the role of psychological factors and how they influence your weight. Whether it is eating for the wrong reasons, dealing with limiting beliefs, healing your inner child, dealing with shame or a critical inner voice, or self-esteem, no area escapes examination. She even points an accusing finger in the direction of doctors, referring to some as "finger-pointers in white lab coats".

Another particularly good part of the book is where she discusses how a diet has to fit you. An effective diet has to match your biochemical individuality, carbohydrate sensitivity, insulin resistance, thyroid function and metabolic rate, hormone balance, etc.

Some readers may have problems where she varies from the traditional view and heads off into the area of alternative medicine. However, she makes a valid point that in the interest of presenting a thorough examination of the issue she has included this information. In this section she closely examines toxicity and how to detoxify your body. Included is information on colon cleansing and parasites as well as the use of natural remedies.

I have to say it is refreshing to find a book that looks at this problem from all sides instead of taking the position that something that worked for one person is the perfect solution for everyone. It just is not that simple. "Fat and Furious" is a highly recommended read for anyone seeking a solution to diets that don't work and who want to understand the various factors involved in controlling your weight.

"Fat Chance At Last!...How to Go Beyond Willpower" is a chance-of-a-lifetime available to readers for a Healthy, Well-Balanced, Have-It-All Lifestyle!

In today's healthcare quagmire it is exciting to find a book that truly puts together so much practical, usable information, and provides so many logical insights into balancing the body for optimum health. Although the primary message in "Fat Chance At Last!..." is toward weight control, it becomes apparent that weight control falls naturally in place when the body is balanced. The escalating costs of health care and the uncertainty of mixed messages from special reports certainly have created the desire in every individual to responsibly take charge of one's own health with the best "assurance" available. "Fat Chance At Last..." will be a book that one will value and use as a reference book for years to come.

Eileen Silva, a nationally known Metabolic Specialist, has created "Fat Chance At Last!..." a book unique for its ability to successfully incorporate a variety of disciplines for the educational edification of the reader. In very down-to-earth terms Ms. Silva takes the reader by the hand and reveals why individuals may suffer from: a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde personality; obesity and weight gain; afternoon fatigue; gas, bloating, bowel irregularities; headaches, joint or muscle aches; addictive behaviors and premature aging, to name a few.

Just reading the Table of Contents will excite the reader of all the potentialities in the book. From the first chapter (which includes a Body Fitness Profile for personal application) to the last (a summation of HOW YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL) the reader will be amazed at how quickly one becomes fascinated by the explanations of how and why the body may react with certain foods, emotions, parasites, stress and more. Through- out the book there are easy-to-read instructional / informational charts and illustrations. Formulas and protocol for creating and maintaining a healthy, balanced body show how it can be done.

This is a book that could be picked up at any time and read randomly for specific topics. However, it will soon become apparent that one may be missing something important, written in a previous chapter. To save time, start at the beginning. The insights absorbed will become one's own "inner" knowledge. "Fat Chance..." is liberally laced with humor, philosophies and plenty of "aha's". The information gained can be put to use immediately. It's a page-turning, easy read!

The case histories and research in this book add to the book's value for "aware" medical practitioners, as well as the intelligent lay-person and fitness counselor. "Fat Chance At Last!..." is endorsed by a stellar group "Who's Who" of Doctors and Fitness Professionals. Eileen Silva refers to her book as "User Friendly". It is indeed that and more; it is an "essential" book for your library. If you have been in search of a natural, drug-free way to better health, here it is...At Last!: "Fat Chance At Last!..." by Eileen Silva

I received this book as part of a PR packet in my office and when the author called to see if I had received it I took a deeper look. I have just ordered three more copies so that a number of us in the office can do the program together. I have history of CVD, Diabetes and Cancer on both sides of my family and feel that this healthful, well-rounded program will help me change the message my cells are getting from the food I eat. I will be giving this book as a gift as well as following the plan for the rest of my life.

Thank you, Jennifer!

Fat Into The Fire The Simple Missing Links to Maximize Metabolism, Energy, and Yourself
This is a complete book for diet, weight loss, getting in better shape, proper nutrition, and overall wellness. It is easy and even entertaining to read. You can refer back to it often because of all of the great advice and motivational quotes. It includes more than one level. So, depending upon whether you are looking to lose a little or a lot of weight; or even just get into better shape physically and mentally - this is the book. It includes simple yet effective diet plans, calorie calculations, and specific workouts. Easy and short workouts that can be done at home even. It explains a lot about nutrition, metabolism and physiological processes related to diet and exercise that most people don't know about. It even explains psychological issues related to metabolism, diet, and wellness. It offers what other diet and fitness books don't: mind-body techniques to maximize metabolism, energy, overall wellness, and thus getting fit and losing weight naturally. Not only that - but also feeling better and being happier. I would recommend this book to everyone. As a matter of fact, it should be a high school text book. So everyone would know the correct ways to feel and look great, and the proper nutrition to eat. I know I do!

I joined the authors free support group at his website, www.FatIntoTheFire.com. It is fantastic, you get online support from David Morrow for free, plus support from other Team FIF members and free tips, advice, videos, and recipes.

Fat Into The Fire is the answer to our prayers!

I would highly recommend the journal also.Fat Into The Fire Journal, along with the cookbook which is also available on kindle FIF (Fat Into The Fire) Cookbook for all Seasons - Dishes can be Delicious and Nutritious; and the workout I on dvd that can be done anywhere - at home, in a hotel room... Fat Into The Fire Workout I with Weights, Cardio, and Yoga

Let me add something for everyone to think about. Whenever there are calamities and catastrophies, it seems that idolatry is just around the corner. How long will people learn what God hates most.

This book is amazing! It completely explains all the factors related to obesity - it's cause and it's true cures. Moreover, it gives the most detailed explanations of what Thermogenesis is and which substances will "turn on" this fat burning dynamo on in the human body. As a person who has struggled with obesity for most of his life, this book was an eye opener into the real cause of my disease - lack of "FIRE" or Thermogensis. After reading this book, you'll understand why certain "fat burning" pills will work and why a low-carb diet is best for fat loss. Bottom-line: Dr.Mowrey is genius in the field of obesity research and this book belongs on every "weight conscious" person's shelf. Enjoy!
