Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness31 reviews
Kathy Freston

Weinstein Books, 2008

Great book!
I thought this was a great book to show you how to live that joyful life you want health wise and spiritually. The author covers alot. However, my favorite book is Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbookbecause of the workbook format where you interact with all the charts and exercises (recipes). I love that there are so many and you can pick and choose what works for you. 		  
  







  
  
The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library)131 reviews
Robert Sears

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Straight-forward. Easy to read and understand.
This book offers a straight-forward, comprehensive look at each of the vaccines given to children of all ages. It is the best vaccine reference I have found that combines both sides of the argument. It gives you very sound and resonable information for making vaccine decisions. I am a person who believes that modern and wholistic medicine each have their place and should work hand-in-hand and ...

The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life28 reviews
Arthur Agatston, Joseph Signorile

Rodale Books, 2008

A Nice Surprise
I was aware of South Beach Diet throughout all these years but I never made an effort to read any of the books by Dr. Agatston as I thought that there was too much hype about them and I considered this whole `South Beach movement' as a passing fad, especially after reading somewhere that South Beach Diet is nothing more than repackaged Atkin's Diet. But the main reason that I actually avoid diet ...

You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You)181 reviews
Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz

Free Press, 2007

Great collection of information on the aging process
Some celebrity once opined that growing old wasn't easy or something to that effect - and, obviously to those of us who are growing old, they were absolutely correct. Growing old just isn't a whole lot of fun. Drs. Roizen and Oz aren't necessarily trying to make the process of aging fun, but they do claim they can slow it down or, more appropriately, help you feel like you're not going ... 		  
  







  
  
Skinny Bitch659 reviews
Kim Barnouin, Rory Freedman

Running Press, 2005

Being Vegan is not the only way to maintain a healthy body weight...
...although that's what these authors would like you to believe. I know vegans who are overweight, and others who are at a healthy body weight. I know omnivores who are overweight, and others who are at a healthy body weight. It's all about moderation. You do not have to be a vegan to be thin. Any nutrition expert will tell you the same. Also, I personally do not like what they have to ...

Michael Pollan

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

Good follow-up to The Omnivore's Dilemma
In The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan does a tour of sorts through what passes as our diet through four meals and the ways he goes after them. In Defense of Food, its follow-up, he collects the information gleaned from both Omnivore's Dilemma and other sources, and breaks them down into useable forms of knowledge. As it turns out, his ideal diet comes closest to Polyface Farm than anything ...

Peter J. D'Adamo

Putnam Adult, 1996

I'm a believer!
Shortly after having my son in 1993, my health 'challenges' began to worsen. I've known since age 6 that I was allergic to milk when diagnosed by a doctor, but just had a feeling there was more. I had some allergy tests and all the doctor could tell me was the indoor/outdoor allergies I had and the one thing I already knew...dairy. Eventually body forced me to eliminate numerous foods that I had ...

2008 CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter (Calorie King)195 reviews
Allan Borushek

Allan Borushek & Assoc. Inc / Family Health Pub., 2007

I use this book for my weight loss group
I have bought about 50 of these books and use them for my weight loss group. It is the best calorie counting book I have ever used. It also includes carbs and fat grams for each item. It would have helped to include sodium but it doesn't have that. But it does have a few pages in the back (about 10 pages) that lists the sodium, fiber, protein and iron of many foods. It has an index in the ...

A SERIOUS BOOK FOR A SERIOUSLY STRONG BODY!
I was inspired to begin exercising during my successful weight loss and new perspective on life I got from The 3:00 PM Secret. I wanted to add to my exercise routine, so decided to check out "Making the Cut" by strength trainer Jillian Michaels (NBC's The Biggest Loser). This is a clear, no-nonsense 30-day program that targets people who are in good shape already but want to lose the last 20 or ... 		  
  







  
  
Fatness to Fitness: Former Fat Kid Reveals His Most Powerful Personal Strategies and Techniques to Help You ...5 reviews
Joey Atlas

Underdog Press, 2008

No BS...It's the Real Deal
Before I give my review of this book - I must first mention that I have had the pleasure of working with Joey for the past 6 years. Currently, I am one of his 'last few clients' that he trains in a one-on-one (he stopped taking on new clients a few years ago when his online presence skyrocketed). I've read many books on health, fitness and nutrition. Most of them are very similar and most of ...

Devin Alexander, Karen Kaplan, ...

Rodale Books, 2006

Best Cookbook Ever!
Not only am I a Biggest Loser fan, but I am now a fan of the Biggest Loser Cookbook. I was a little hesitant about buying the book. I have a ton of cookbooks at home and only get one or two recipes out of them. So far I have enjoyed many of the recipes out of this book. The pictures are wonderful, and the recipes are easy to follow. I like the fact that my 9 year old daughter enjoys the food ...

Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero, ...

Da Capo Press, 2007

RABID CARNIVORES ADORE IT!
I made an extremely vegan recipe from this book for a friend who's a rabid carnivore, and i didn't get a luke-warm "umm, that's tasty", I got an "OH my GODDD, that's FANTASTIC!" So, newbee vegans, fear not. You can not only please yourself with this innovative, fun and complete book, you can dazzle your carnivorous friends, too. And old-bee vegans, i trust there are some oh-so-fab recipes here ...

Buy this book!
I received this cookbook as a gift and have worn it out over the last year. My husband and I have tried and enjoyed just about every recipe inside. There are of course a few that didn't make our favorites list, but overall this is a fantastic collection of meal ideas. We never felt like we were sacrificing taste in order to eat healthy. I used it all through the winter and just cooked on the ...

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management670 reviews
Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen

Free Press, 2006

Physicians On Diet
How refreshing to have physicians write scientifically-based books that promote a healthy body, healthy living, and disease prevention. Maybe these authors will inspire their colleagues to talk more to patients about living healthfully. The book is written in a way that makes nutrition and physiological insights readable and understandable by people who do not have a strong science background. ...
