detailed six-week plan—complete with menus and recipes—that "will help you lose 11
to 21 pounds" in those first six weeks. The data and prescription the author provides
are far from simple, and results, if attained, are not automatic. But dogged readers
will come away from the book with a thorough understanding of dieting principles,
such as the timing of meals, portion size, glycemic load, phytonutrient index, the
weight loss benefits of relaxation and the optimized functioning of the thyroid. There
are straightforward principles buried in the text, such as "eat fruits and vegetables"
and "move your body," plus tips for eating out (e.g., "don't be afraid to ask for
substitutions in a dish," "request a 'crudités platter'... instead of the breadbasket" and "order a light drink");
adhering to these tips alone should prove beneficial. The opportunity for readers to remember and apply
any of the more involved information is a possible positive side effect. (Apr.)

gimmick or short-term fix. It is a four-phase diet that

impurities out of the system. Once this nine-day

most dieters will complete all four phases and be on
their way to a thinner lifetime of good health. Best

The verdict is in: those
simple carbs we've been
living on are killing us. For
good health, we've got to
get our blood sugar under
control and stop the
incessant cravings. Or so
says Dr. Arthur Agatston,
author of The South Beach
Diet. The first half of the
book details the science
behind the diet. Most of the
explanations revolve
The South Beach Diet: The
Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof
plan For Fast And Healthy Weight Loss
around why things you thought were healthy—-
orange juice, wheat toast, carrots—-are actually
evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston
created a modified carbohydrate plan,
recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean
proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread,
rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from
other diets include a lack of concern over portion
size and a serious indifference to exercise.
Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but
it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his
exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence.
The last half of the book covers his three-stage
plan; daily diets are mixed with recipes, some of
which are from South Beach restaurant chefs.
The most restrictive period lasts just two weeks,
enough time to stabilize your urges and lose a
few pounds; stage two adds fruits and a handful
of other carbs, while stage three is meant to last
the remainder of your life, with occasional lapses
for white bread or birthday cake. While the diet is
sound, the book could be better organized. The
first half mixes scientific study with anecdote in a
seemingly random way, while the mix of meal
plans and recipes can be confusing. Still, the
recipes are varied and tasty, and you'll never feel
deprived, unless you currently happen to live by
bread alone. --Jill Lightner --This text refers to

Bill Phillips had been
publishing bodybuilding
magazines and marketing
nutritional supplements for
years when he had a weird
revelation at a trade show:
many of the most loyal and
enthusiastic readers he had
were totally out of shape.
From that uncomfortable
realization came his popular
Physique Transformation
Contest (top prize that first
Body for Life: 12 Weeks to
Mental and Physical Strength
year: Phillips's own Lamborghini), now world
famous, and this book.
The three-times-a-week weightlifting program in
Body for Life is deceptively simple. If you've spent
any time in the gym, you've already done all the
exercises. But Phillips includes a couple of
high-intensity sets at the end of each exercise that
should compound the training effect on each
muscle group. Same goes for the cardiovascular
exercise he recommends: just 20 minutes, three
times a week. But those 20 minutes are spent
jacking the intensity up and down, accomplishing
more in less time.
Phillips arranges all this into a 12-week program,
along with nutritional and motivational tips. Be
warned that the nutritional advice gets a little
spacey. For example, he puts "carbohydrates" and
"vegetables" into separate categories, and
recommends three daily doses of a nutritional
supplement called Myoplex, which his company
manufactures. (Fortunately, he gives tips on how to
make each dose taste different, such as by adding
drops of peppermint extract.) Despite this
strangeness, Body for Life still motivates because
so many others have achieved astounding results
in similar 12-week windows, and the pictures and
testimonials are here as evidence. --Lou Schuler
When Mehmet Oz or any of
New York's leading doctors
has a patient whose life
depends on losing weight,
they call on Joel Fuhrman,
M.D. In EAT TO LIVE, Dr.
Fuhrman offers his healthy,
effective, and scientifically
proven plan for shedding
radical amounts of weight
quickly, and keeping it off.
Losing weight under Dr.
Fuhrman's plan is not about
willpower, it is about
Eat to Live: The
Revolutionary Formula for Fast
and Sustained Weight Loss
knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is
the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the
simple formula Health=Nutrients/Calories. When
the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts
away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in
two to three weeks is just the beginning. The
more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman's patients
consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer
calories, and the less they crave fat and
high-calorie foods. Designed for people who
must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO
LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want
to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No
willpower required-just knowledge! --This text
refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Eat everything.
Concentrate on whole
grains. Drink milk. Balance
protein with carbohydrates.
Avoid processed sugars.
Do some exercise. The idea
that a diet book making
such proposals comes as a
pleasant surprise shows
just how far afield we've
gone in the search for new
ways to be fit. The only
thing new about this diet by
The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan
to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You
Lean for Life
the editor-in-chief of Men's Health is its name,
and this, one can presume, is because
nowadays, a book simply called "Sensible Eating"
wouldn't sell. The book's title is indeed
misleading; only the final chapter deals solely
with abs. The rest is full of rational
recommendations for a realistic diet plan: eat
more and smaller meals; have oatmeal in the
morning for a nourishing breakfast; don't starve
yourself; drink plenty of water; and stay away
from sodas and foods that contain high-fructose
corn syrup. Whether readers will, in the end, walk
away with abs of steel is not really the point.
They'll control their weight in a healthy way,
without counting calories, cutting out whole food
groups or supporting the beef futures market.
Best of all, this book tells readers why it works:
increase your body's metabolism, gain some
muscle and fat burns away. The authors make
this seem like a fresh and very attainable ideal.

The keys to overweight are
liver toxicity, waterlogged
tissues, fear of eating fat,
excess insulin, and stress,
asserts nutritionist Ann Louise
Gittleman. Her Fat Flush Plan
addresses these problems
with a targeted diet.
The Fat Flush Plan, filled with
nutritional analysis and
detailed explanations, is not a
quick read. Despite
Gittleman's assertion that the
The Fat Flush Plan
plan is "as easy as 1-2-3," it is quite regimented. No
white flour, white sugar, margarine, vegetable
shortening, artificial sweeteners, or caffeine. The
diet emphasizes essential oils (e.g., flaxseed and
GLA), protein (eight ounces or more, plus two eggs
a day), vegetables, thermogenic spices (e.g.,
ginger and cayenne), water, and diuretic beverages
(eight glasses/day of diluted, unsweetened
cranberry juice). In its first two-week phase, the
plan is a rigid, low calorie (1,100-1,200
calories/day), low-carb (no grains or starchy
vegetables) diet. Phase two lets you increase your
calories to 1,500 and add two "friendly carbs."
Phase three, the "lifestyle program," moderately
adds more dairy, carbs, and calories. Gittleman
promotes walking and recommends strength
training in phase three.
The book includes 41 recipes such as Grilled Lamb
Chops with Cinnamon and Coriander, Breakfast
Egg Fu Yung, and Cumin Sautéed Scallops. The
Fat Flush Plan is recommended for dieters willing to
commit to a strict plan for weight loss. --Joan Price

Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary
Program That Works
Did you truly enjoy the food
you ate today? Do you
really like the way you look
and feel? Are you
consistently enjoying great
health and high energy?
Bill Phillips, author of the #1
New York Times bestseller
Body-for-LIFE, believes
your answer to all of the
above questions should be,
"Yes!" He feels that food
should be a source of pure
pleasure. A source of
Eating for Life: Your Guide to
Great Health, Fat Loss and Increased
Energy!
positive, abundant energy! A "sure thing" in a
world of much uncertainty.
Phillips, who's widely regarded as today's most
successful fitness author, has firm beliefs which
go against the grain of today's popular
weight-loss methods. "Diets, all of them, are
potentially dangerous, most always dumb and
ultimately a dead-end street!" he insists.
"Eventually, anyone and everyone who's at all
concerned with their health must learn how to
feed their body, not how to starve it."
Instead, Phillips encourages a safe and sound
solution which includes eating balanced,
nutrient-rich meals, frequently throughout the
day. "This is what works in the long run," he
explains.
Rich with common sense and science, Eating for
Life has rhyme and reason. It is specific. There
are very clear dos and don'ts which help people
enjoy food and improve their overall fitness.
Bill's approach, which he calls the "Eating for
Lifestyle," has already helped thousands of
people break free from the dieting dilemma and
discover that, contrary to pop-culture belief, food
is friend, not foe. Used intelligently, it nourishes
the body and mind, satisfies the appetite, calms
cravings, renews health and lifts energy.
Like Bill Phillips' Body-for-LIFE, this is a
tell-it-like-it-is book. There's no promise of a
quick fix. No metabolic tricks or so-called
miracles. Just straightforward, clear, concise,
practical and appropriate principles for eating
right... for life.

"We have been trying to
feed our hurting, longing
hearts with physical food,"
writes Gwen Shamblin,
registered dietician and
founder of the Weigh Down
program, which emphasizes
"God's power--not 'will
power.'" This book offers
instruction on how to eat
only when physically
hungry, how to "nourish the
soul with a relationship with
The Weigh Down Diet
God," and how not to confuse different hunger
urges. The diet plan teaches you not to overeat
by letting you eat exactly what you want, but
much less of it.
The key is to understand hunger, recognize
fullness, and sense what your body is really
calling for. You learn to "rate" food by its appeal,
and eat your favorite foods first, stopping when
you're getting full (not waiting until you're
stuffed). This is not a nutritional guide; in fact,
Shamblin's own sample menu is high in fat,
cholesterol, sugar, and salt. The Weigh Down
Diet is, however, a guide to using your religious
beliefs to help you stop overeating and see food
in a new light. This book inspires you with
scriptural passages, discussions of "God's rules"
about eating, and assurances that God's love will
help you win your battle with weight.

Clients' stories (including a 95-year-old who

Read our interview with Pam Peeke.
Peeke digs deeper for her audience, defining
four hormonal milestones of a woman's life
(menarche to beyond menopause) and
customizing a physical and mental transformation
plan to suit each. Easing off on strict calorie and
weight guidelines, she focuses instead on
serious fat reduction, muscle improvement, and
practical suggestions for self-care. A handful of
charts and formulae help readers assess their
progress; sample exercises and fitness logs help,
too. But for Peeke, weight reduction pales to
bolstering a woman's self-worth through nurturing
healthier habits. The only rough pill to swallow is
Peeke's two-page list of smart foods: it lacks
suggestions for turning acceptable proteins,
carbohydrates and fats into palatable daily
meals.--Liane Thomas

secret? Her work as a
"weight-loss artist." Taylor
says her turning point came

tracking the food she ate.
Instead, she would create
food-centric art whenever she
had the urge to eat. She quit

Miraculous and Motivational Musings from

her job and combined her artistic leanings with a
childhood fascination with nuns (she lived near a
convent as a kid; the kindly nuns never commented
on her chubbiness) in a creative homage to Our
Lady of Weight Loss, an inner voice that provides
inspiration and support to Taylor. The book offers a
refreshing take on weight. Sure, there are recipes,
and discussions of nutrition and self-image and
exercise, but Taylor gets that most overweight folk
already know they need to eat less and exercise
more. In chatty, supportive prose, Taylor highlights
her book with "weighty confessions" that offer
absolution and cute "fat-oids" ("It takes twenty-two
muscles to smile and sixty-two to frown"). And there
are clear, witty instructions for art projects,
including sewing, collage and lamp makeovers—
most projects call for glitter glue, and lots of it.

If you've ever wondered
why the latest fad diet
doesn't work for you... well,
there are lots of reasons,
mostly the fact that it's a fad
diet. But it could also be
that you're the wrong blood
type for the kinds of foods
the diet recommends. Peter
D'Adamo makes a
persuasive argument that
your blood type is an
evolutionary marker that
Eat Right 4 Your Type: The
Individualized Diet Solution to Staying

tells you which foods you'll process best, and
which will be useless calories. He covers the

from entrées tocondiments and seasonings, and
also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle
recommendations.
Amazon.com Audiobook Review
This abridged audiobook introduces Dr. Peter J.
D'Adamo's revolutionary approach to dieting
based on the connection between blood type and
health. Read by audio pro Polly Adams,
D'Adamo's bestseller details how different foods
affect specific blood types both positively and
negatively. We learn that "pastas made from
buckwheat are better tolerated for Type Os," and
that type As should eliminate all meat from their
diet to reduce the risk of heart disease and

Why was this a #1
bestseller in Canada in
2002? Because it is an
easy-to-follow,
easy-to-stick-to, truly
healthy approach to eating
that is based on the
Glycemic Index, the original
science behind The Zone
Diet, but eliminates that
diet's complexity and
tendency to leave dieters
wanting more. If you can
understand a traffic light,
The G.I. Diet: The Easy, Healthy
Way to Permanent Weight Loss
you can understand this diet--and lose weight
permanently without feeling hungry, counting
calories, or jeopardizing your health. If a food is
in the green column, eat it. If it's in the red
column, avoid it. And if it's in the yellow column,
proceed with caution. Take bread, for example.
White bread, with its high G.I. number, is
red-because it's so highly processed the body
digests it quickly, resulting in a spike in blood
sugar, a release of insulin, potential storage as
fat, and a quick return of the hungry feeling.
Low-G.I. 100% stone-ground whole-wheat bread
is green-the body takes a while to digest it, with
no spike in blood sugar and a much longer
feeling of satiety. Green, yellow, red: It's all here,
with a full explanation of how the diet works, plus
ratings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks,
eating out or eating in. Includes some recipes,
snack ideas, a shopping list, and tips on dining
out.

Revolution, Revised
encourages dieters to revel in traditional sources

promises, will be achieved through his 14-day
"induction" diet, in which almost all carbohydrates
are virtually banned from the table, forcing the
body to go into a fat-burning metabolic state
called ketosis. He still urges broad-based vitamin
supplements to take up any nutritional slack. So
what's changed in 20 years? Atkins says he now
is more interested in "complete wellness" than in
dropping pounds quickly; he stresses that the
"induction" is not to be considered a lifetime
regimen unless, of course, the dieter has
particularly stubborn "metabolic resistance."
Readers of his last book may notice some
defensiveness--two decades of criticism clearly
have taken their toll. Nonetheless, there is

Based on sound research

thousands of people, The
Schwarzbein Principle
proves that excess weight,
degenerative disease and
accelerated aging can be

controlled - and reversed - in a healthful way.
The Schwarzbein Principle is a holistic guide to
achieving lasting weight loss, normalizing
metabolism and maintaining ideal body
composition through lifestyle and nutrition. By
bringing the internal systems into balance, the
Schwarzbein program has been proven to:
reverse type II diabetes; free people from food
cravings for chocolate, caffeine and sugar; cure
depression and mood swings; and reduce body
fat while building lean tissue. The nutritional
program consists of two phases -Healing and
Maintenance - which are easy to adopt into any
lifestyle. Instead of shunning fat, the program
advocates eating all of the good fats and
proteins your body needs as well as an unlimited
portion of non-starchy carbohydrates. By
incorporating the lifestyle components of stress
management, exercise and eliminating harmful
stimulants, program participants experience
renewed energy and vitality. Don't forget to

No more counting carbs,
calories, or fat grams! This
revolutionary diet plan works
with your hormones to curb
your appetite, boost your
metabolism, take weight off—
and never put it on again.
Cutting-edge scientific
research shows that losing
weight is not about carbs,
calories, or even willpower—it’
s about a hormone called
leptin and how it functions in
The Fat Resistance Diet:
Unlock the Secret of the Hormone Leptin
to: Eliminate Cravings, Supercharge Your
Metabolism, Fight Inflammation, Lose
Weight & Reprogram Your Body to Stay
Thin
your body. Leptin is your body’s natural weight-loss
mechanism: it curbs your appetite and jump-starts
your metabolism. And when those hormones are
working properly, they make you literally fat
resistant! You will lose weight effortlessly and
efficiently, and never gain those pounds back.
A leading expert in the field of nutritional medicine,
Dr. Leo Galland knows that if you’ve struggled to
lose weight on diet after diet but still can’t shake
those excess pounds, chances are you are “leptin
resistant”—your body no longer responds to leptin,
making it impossible to slim down, no matter what
size portions or how few carbs you eat. But here’s
the good news: by adding the right foods to your
diet, you can quickly reverse leptin resistance and
reprogram your body to start melting away the
pounds.
The Fat Resistance Diet is the first weight-loss plan
designed specifically to combat leptin resistance,
using a unique combination of anti-inflammatory
and hormone-balancing foods to get your
hormones working again. Used by hundreds of Dr.
Galland’s patients with remarkable results, the
three-phase regimen includes:
STAGE 1: A fourteen-day starter program that
delivers a loss of ten to fourteen pounds in the first
two weeks. Inflammation-fighting superfoods work to
trigger rapid weight loss and set your hormones
straight.
STAGE 2: A ninety-day plan that builds on the
benefits of Stage 1 and delivers a loss of at least
five pounds a month. You can enjoy a greater
variety of foods while still keeping your hormones
working overtime.
STAGE 3: Sustainable for life, the meal plans in this
phase keep your hormones doing their job, even
after you reach your target weight, and offer an
expanded, flavorful menu.
With delicious recipes that are rich in healing carbs,
healing fats, and powerful phytonutrients, the diet is
a breeze to stick with—there are no hard-to-find
ingredients, no expensive supplements, and no
complicated proportions to figure out. Best of all,
when you make the Fat Resistance Diet part of
your life, your hormones will do your weight-loss
work for you! This groundbreaking program at last
reveals the true secret to weight loss success, and
will transform you from a chronic dieter into a lean,
fat-fighting machine.

In The Perricone
Weight-loss Diet, the father
of the Inflammation Theory
of Aging reveals the role of
internal
micro-inflammations,
caused mainly by
additive-packed foods and
a sedentary lifestyle, not
only in accelerated aging,
but also in unwanted weight
gain. The good news he
shares is: it is possible to

slow down the clock, clear the skin, and shed the
pounds by following a diet of whole foods and
natural supplements, and by progressively
adopting an "anti-inflammatory lifestyle",
including quality sleep and stress-reducing
activities (pet lovers will especially appreciate the
passage on the healing power of pets.)
If Dr. Perricone’s division of high- versus low-
glycemic index foods, and healthy (Omega-3-
rich) versus unhealthy fats, doesn't especially
sound like breakout news, he has to be credited
for his uniquely convincing way of (re-) laying out
these dietary principles, and for incorporating
them into a global plan to achieve better health
and weight loss. "Treat yourself well and the
weight will come off," he suggests. And this anti-
alarmist, anti-paternalistic, and confident delivery
(he doesn't fear complimenting competitor Tammi
Flynn on her sensible Three-Apple-a-Day Plan),
paired with his stellar success record in the
health field (The Perricone Prescription; The
Perricone Promise), forces your attention.
Readers will dive effortlessly into the easy-flowing
chapters, from "Breaking the Inflammation-Fat
Connection" to "The 10 Top Food Groups for
Permanent Weight Loss" (headed up with
mouthwatering wild Alaskan salmon), to
Perricone's signature threefold plan, which he
promises will show dramatic results in as little as

worth of research into the
effects of food on hormone

activity with a program that will
lead to "optimal health," peak
performance (the zone of the

title) and, not incidentally, weight control. Citing the
importance of eicosanoids, a class of hormones
that figures critically in metabolism, Sears has
worked out an approach to eating that reduces
one's daily production of insulin and, at the same
time, draws on stored body fat for energy. A
formula for calculating an individual's Lean Body
Mass is tied to an estimated Physical-Activity Factor
and used to establish one's daily protein
requirement, which can easily be as much as 70
grams for a moderately active, middle-aged woman
with 25-35% body fat. Recommending a diet that
tightly balances the intake of protein, good
(low-glycemic) carbohydrates and a moderate
amount of monounsaturated fats, Sears is among
those current weight-control specialists (e.g., Drs.
Rachael and Richard Heller and Stephen Gullo [see
Notes below]) who observe that there are many
