This book helped me lose 32 pounds & 4 inches off my waist 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

When I was diagnosed with a major health issue 2.5 years ago, at age 64, I decided it was time to be proactive about living a healthy life style. That is when I came across Dr. Mollen's book at our local library. My primary objective was, not to lose weight but to eat healthy, to improve my situation. I followed Dr. Mollen's advice for a healthy life style change and within 6 months I had lost 32 pounds. Besides that I went from a large to a medium shirt size and from a 38 inch waistline to 34 inches. I bought all new clothes and am told that I look great.
I have much more energy, my cholesterol is excellent, my blood pressure reading taken by my doctor recently was 120 over 80. I have been 20 to 30 pounds overweight most of my adult life but for the past two years have easily maintained my proper weight. I have tried diets before but this is not a diet, it is a life stlye change. I do not count calories or go hungry. I eat all I desire but eat the right kinds of foods and enjoy all of them. I highly recommend this book. Dr. Mollen is right on. I am living proof.

Editorial Review:

This volume presents information regarding the mechanisms of protein absorption under normal and pathologic conditions, in addition to reviewing changes that occur at various stages of life. General modifiers of intestinal absorption, such as the processing of foods, the nutritional status of the individual, and disease, are explored with reference to both proteins and minerals. Inorganic macronutrients, namely calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, are discussed in relation to protein ingestion. The book also explores the concept of essential trace elements (e.g., iron, zinc, copper, and iodine) and their link to protein sufficiency. The relationship of ultratrace elements with the content of proteins in food is examined, and the book offers a fresh view of the role of certain elements, particularly zinc, on the conformation of proteins linked to DNA, hormone receptors, and gene products. Protein Nutrition and Mineral Absorption is packed with 2,300 references, 100 figures and graphs, plus 25 tables. Nutritionists and physicians will find this book to be an invaluable reference source for rationalizing nutritional interventions and diet modifications for their patients.

Editorial Review:

In the post-Atkins world of nutrition and diet, protein has become one of the most misunderstood nutrients. Essential for health, protein in your diet is broken down during digestion and later restrctured to make the proteins and enzymes your body needs for life. For example, protein stabilizes blood sugar levels and protects against diabetes. Protein itself consists of building blocks called amino acids, which are used in the body's construction of neurotransmitters, hormones, muscles, and other tissues. In this User's Guide, Dr. Keri Marshall demystifies protein and amino acids and explains how you can use them to enhance your healh.

Editorial Review:

Losing weight and keeping it off isn’t easy but Ralph Beckmann, a renowned medical journalist found a healthy and all-natural diet that helped him lose weight without drugs (like ephedrine), GMOs, or the side effects of conventional diets. His book, “Alma Goes on the TurboDiet”, is a light-hearted, in-depth analysis of how the body processes food and stores fat, what the body needs in terms of nutrients, what causal factors influence body weight, and how the TurboDiet, widely popular in Europe, can help people lose up to 20 pounds in a healthy way in only two weeks. Ralph Beckmann, specializing in the medical field did it. Thousands of Europeans and Americans have found a way to exceptional weight loss without the yo-yo effect by using the all-natural TurboDiet program. This is not your ordinary diet nor your ordinary diet book. Beckmann creates a friendly, caring atmosphere with the help of his cartoon alter ego, “Alma”, who takes on the TurboDiet with gusto, going from overweight to va-va-voom by the end of the book.

Finally - Quick & easy zone recipes! 4 out of 5 stars.
23 of 24 people found this review helpful.

The recipes in Taylor's book are easy to prepare, very tasty, and don't call for expensive or hard-to-find ingredients. Though I'm not strictly following the zone plan, I find myself preparing one of the book's recipes almost once a week, simply because they're so great and easy-to-prepare. As someone who has struggled with finding ingredient-friendly, time-friendly zone meals, I was delighted with the selections in Taylor's book (the chicken almandine is fabulous! ). I just wish there were more of them. I highly recommend this book.

Editorial Review:

Based on Barry Sears' bestselling Zone Diet plan, which emphasizes a 40-30-30 ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, The Balanced Diet Cookbook provides simple recipes, complete menu plans, and food charts for followers of the Zone-plan and others interested in balanced eating for better health. Each recipe fulfills the balance ratio for food blocks, making breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacktime easy for those following the balanced eating lifestyle.

A Common Sense approach to Low Carbing 5 out of 5 stars.
20 of 20 people found this review helpful.

I found this book and plan much easier to get in to than Dr Atkins. As a Brit, I like the no nonsense, no bragging approach to this diet. You don't have to go through all the pains, headeaches and strict regime of Atkins to still get great results! An excellent book .Also his carb counting book is great, as well as his cookbook.

Editorial Review:

An easier-to-follow version of the Dr Atkins diet, this medically-based but very accessible guide programs the body to burn fat. It is low-carbohydrate, but by no means no-carbohydrate, and includes hundreds of great recipes.
