Easy Read Great Info

This was a very easy read and is very logical. I have learned a lot from it and putting it into my families daily meal plan. It's hard to start choosing different things when you run a lot but I have learned a lot. I am going to start re-reading it to see if there is anything else I can pick up. Dr Oz is very smart and teaches you what your body does with food and energy. Very interesting.

You On A Diet

I found this book to be invaluable. Although I have finished reading it, I keep it close for reference. Now I finally understand why I have such a tummy and I'm getting rid of it!

The book fibs a little, but makes weight loss possible for us mere mortals.

This is more a review of the diet itself rather than the book as a work of literature.

I liked what they authors proposed for a few reasons:

- walking 30 minutes a day was doable for me, since I already do that 2 to 3 times a week.

- they make allowance for the fact that most people will slip up and eat naughty food sometimes- you are allowed to forgive yourself.

- measuring fat loss through your belt notches is practical.

- I've taken up eating natural food like apples and dried fruit, and nuts so at least I will have less trans fat encrusted arteries.

- It sounds much more achieveable to do muscle work just 20 minutes once or twice a week. Before, it was people telling me to do at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours each time- man, I HATE THE GYM! I have trouble staying more than 50 minutes. Ok, I know the book is simply telling me what I want to hear, rather than what I need to hear, but it keeps me motivated to return to the gym at least and not skip gym weeks at a time.

It's nice how they give some information about your own biology too.

One thing I did note was a slight fib.

They say there is no calorie counting. But there actually is. In the second half of the book, they write about your base metabolic calorie usage, and how certain activities will use up such and such, and eating certain foods will give you such and such calories. So sure, you DO need to know this (it means what you eat is more important than the actual exercise), but still- liar liar pants on fire boys!

Over the last 4 weeks my scales have shown a weight loss of almost 1kg. Quite slow (I want 10 kg loss a day guys!) but I am fitter, and it is constant and I think I can maintain this rate of activity and diet. ANd this is the main thing that I like.

So ask me in 12 months how I'm going :)
