from David Zinczenko,

magazine. A key factor in the
diets success is the meal
plan, with its healthy,
great-tasting, easy recipes
featuring the Abs Diet 12

time-strapped society, Zinczenko and coauthor Ted
Spiker present The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for
6-Pack Abs tohelp readers make the right food
choicesin less time than it takes to pick up a meal at
a drive-thru.
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
of protein like red meat, and to eat eggs and

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

This groundbreaking book
dispels the myths
perpetuated by some
bestselling diet books that
may help people lose
weight, but will put them on
the fast track to disease.
Based on sound research
and the success of
thousands of people, The
Schwarzbein Principle
proves that excess weight,
degenerative disease and
accelerated aging can be

Weight, Being Healthy, and Feeling

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
check out the cookbooks!
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

Diet: A Simple 3-part Program To Lose

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

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
"insulin-resistant" Americans for whom the new food
pyramid recommendations, heavily weighted with
"high-density, high-glycemic carbohydrates," can
be unhealthy. "Zone-favorable" recipes and

selling The pH Miracle, in this book Dr. Young and his
wife turn their attention to what is considered by many
health experts as America’s number one health
crisis—the growing numbers of people who are

Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight
seriously overweight or obese. Contrary to other popular weight loss books, most
notably those, such as The Atkins’ Diet and The South Beach Diet, that tout a low-
carbohydrate approach to achieving weight loss, the Youngs maintain that the
primary culprit behind excessive weight gain, as well as many other health problems,
is a chronic state of acidity in the body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s
chemistry to a more alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the
loss of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue.
The goal outlined by the Youngs in this book is to replace dieting with a 12-week,
seven-step program that is intended to not only rejuvenate the entire body by replacing current blood cells
with blood cells "at the peak of health," but also to create an ongoing lifestyle that will permanently keep off
the pounds that were shed during the 12-week period. In addition to a rich section on eating tips to create
more alkalinity in the body (complete with an extensive list of recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
menus), the book also covers the importance of adequate water drinking, proper exercise, important
nutritional supplements, learning how to manage thoughts and emotions that can contribute to acidity, goal-
setting, and, for optimum results, a two-week cleansing program. In support of the program, the book also
includes a collection of testimonials from people who have achieved significant weight loss on the
program—further backed up by before-and-after photographs. With an increasing number of health
professionals now emphasizing the importance of proper pH to overall health, the information this book
presents is both timely and fairly easy to implement. Larry Trivieri Jr.

have failed them, people find that the Rice Diet is
the one that finally works -- for good.
Here's how it works: The Rice Diet strictly limits
salt and sodium-rich ingredients. Salt, like refined
sugar, is an appetite stimulant, so when you
reduce salt intake, you lose water weight and are
less inclined to overeat. The Rice Diet also limits
saturated fats and instead relies on
carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, grains, and
beans) as the main source of nutrition. The fiber
cleanses your system and satisfies you so you
feel full quickly. The Rice Diet makes it easy to
limit calories; when you're eating foods that truly
satisfy your hunger, it's a challenge to eat 1,500
calories per day!
To make it easy to follow the program, The Rice
Diet Solution includes hundreds of tasty, filling,
easy-to-prepare recipes -- some from the Rice
House kitchen, others inspired by major chefs
and adapted to Rice Diet standards.
The Rice Diet is not just an eating plan. It's a
physical, emotional, and spiritual program that
will change the way you live, giving you new
vitality, energy, and longevity. Ricers report that
the Rice Diet not only helps them solve weight
problems they've struggled with their whole lives
but also teaches them a whole new way of
healthier, more mindful living.
Whether you want to lose twenty pounds or two
hundred, the Rice Diet can help you do it --
finally and forever.

Fitness guru Michaels, a
fitness and life coach who has
appeared on NBC's The
Biggest Loser, brings her
tough-love style to the pages
of her first offering. For those
familiar with Loser, Michael's
no-excuses approach here
may seem less intimidating
than it does to those meeting
her on television. She writes
with an edge, warning readers
that they cannot make
Winning by Losing: Drop the
Weight, Change Your Life
excuses, they will work hard and they will suffer
setbacks, but they will also change their lives for
the better. Her "3-S" (Self, Science and Sweat) plan
covers the mental and physical, and Michaels
dedicates equal sections of the book to each. In
Self, she announces to readers that she was an
"overweight and unhappy teenager" who took
charge of her life, challenging readers to do the
same. While no book has the power to change a
person, the tips Michaels provides-create a support
system, keep a journal, change your self-talk-do. In
Science, Michaels dispels common diet myths
(skipping meals is best, diet pills work), provides
recipes for meals and snacks and introduces the
concept of fast-, slow- and balanced-oxidizers,
which determines a person's ideal diet. The final
Sweat chapters include easy-to-follow exercises
accompanied by photos, and a five-day-per-week,
12-week fitness program centered on
burn-and-tone cardio training. The book and
coaching come relatively cheap, but to follow the
program without substitution exercises, readers will
need access to a gym or a weight machine. And,
unfortunately, Michaels does not make house calls.
