Weight Loss Books

This book gives specific recommendations on how to help your child adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent and treat obesity. At a time when the number of overweight children is greatly increasing, this book provides timely advice. The book is easy to read and is not full of medical jargon even though it is written by a medical doctor. The advice echoes what my pediatrician had recommended for my child, only that it is much more specific in its recommendations. I greatly recommend it to any parent battling with the difficult problem of childhood obesity.

Slim Down FastThe Slim Down Fast Weight Loss Program takes the guesswork out of losing weight and keeping it off. If you have struggled with losing weight in your past it is because you haven't learned how to change your bad eating habits. When you keep going from diet to diet to diet, your body becomes more resistent to letting go of the fat reserves. You have to learn how to reprogram your body and turn it into a fat burning machine. If you want to know why some people can eat whatever they want and still stay thin and trim, then the answers are in this amazing book. The Slim Down Fast Weight Loss program is effective and teaches you how to be in control of your body. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I went from a size 20W to a size 8 in five months. I have tried every diet under the sun and finally I found a program I can live with for the rest of my life. If I can lose the weight and keep it off so can you. Its been over 9 months since I lost 54 pounds on the Slim Down Fast Weight Loss Program and I haven't gained one pound back! If you're ready to stop dieting and failing, then I highly recommend this program. If you are a carb addict then I highly recommend the Slim Down Fast Daily Herbal Dietary Supplement. It is made from Green Tea Extract and keeps the cravings at bay all day long. It also helps increase your metabolic rate (thermogensis - fat burning). Now is the time to make the decision to look and feel your best. What are you waiting for?

I really liked this book because I find it easier to fast part of the day than to try to control my calories. I lost weight awhile ago just eating dinner. This book has lots of ideas on how to fast.

In Small Victories: Conversations About Prematurity, Disability, Vision Loss, And Success, Mary Lou Dickerson, herself the mother of a visually impaired premature child and individual who was born prematurely, seeks to assure other parents in similar circumstances that they are not alone and that a child's disability is not necessarily a barrier to success or a sense of fulfillment. Dickerson presents life stories of adults who were born prematurely prior to 1954 (when being born prematurely usually resulted in visual impairment, physical disabilities, or death); stories of adults who weathered prematurity with no apparent physical consequences, yet were touched by the circumstances of their birth; and stories of current parents of premature babies facing similar challenges in raising their children, but also problems unique to their own place and time. Informative, and at times inspiring, Small Victories is very highly recommended reading for any parent experiencing or seeking to come to terms with the birth of a premature child.

This book is great. While there are so many "fat loss successes" out there, this book helped me regain my focus on current fat loss issues. Its timely and practical; with worksheet progress charts so you can follow your success. I would highly recommend it.

I bought Smoothies! The Original Smoothies Book: Recipes form the Pros, a couple of years ago. I use it all the time. When I heard that there was another book in the series out, I got it fast because I love smoothies!
I found the information about the juice business to be very interesting and I love the tasty new recipes. Kudos to the low-carb, soy-based smoothie recipes. Very different and fun!
Now buy the book! - addicted smoothie lover...

You wont't find a better deal on the net. This package contains two books and at a price that can't be beat. These books have great tasting nutritious recipes for sure. You won't need any other smoothie books when you buy this package.

A light weight text about a heavy subject.

OK sorry for the pun but this is an excellent reference for parents interested in guiding their children to healthy eating choices.

Dr Grubb does a terrific job of simplifying the complex issues surrounding obesity weight loss and nutrition.

It is easy to get lost reading the conflicting and misleading information presented on labels and in the media. This is compounded by information overload via numerous concerned organizations such as the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics American Academy of Family Practice, etc. Has anyone tried to decipher the new FDA nutrition pyramid? This easy to read (and small) book simplifies all the material out there into a concise text focusing on what you really need to know to understand nutrition, poor nutrition and how this affects your child (and yourself).

I see this book as the first step to teaching your children healthy eating habits and healthy lifestyle choices, ideally assisting them to avoid obesity and its complications or recover from it. This book represents the weight loss puzzle for the parents, providing them with the building blocks to understand obesity and take basic steps to avoid it.

It does not cover much on how to address the child's behavior i.e. how to motivate the child to partake in healthy lifestyle and make correct decisions, avoid peer pressure, temptation, etc. This part of the puzzle needs to be solved once the first is mastered.

Given Dr. Grubbs expertise and his easy to digest (no pun intended again) writing style. I hope he will continue with another book addressing the psychological aspects of children's behavior and proper nutrition, then we can easily put the two puzzle pieces together guided by Dr. Grubb's puzzle solving prowess.

This book had an honesty that is hard to find these days. You can feel so much that if you close your eyes the poems will pull you write in. From Pixy Roses to Dark Deadly Caves everyone no matter lifestyle will have something to relate to and be enveloped by.

I invented the term "couch potato." Yet I still managed to lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks using the South Beach diet! I never got hungry on this "low BAD carb" - "low BAD fat" diet. Also, this book is really informative if you are diabetic or at high risk for diabetes . It has changed the way I eat. This diet is easy to stick with!
I also signed up for the South Beach Diet daily dish email. Getting an email with a helpful hint every day keeps things interesting and helps keep me motivated!
