Summary: Lose weight without going hungry.
Review: For the past few decades Americans have been told that eating less of everything containing fat is the requisite for losing weight. And yet, over this same period, literally millions of Americans have gone through life eating low-fat diets and being perpetually hungry, but more Americans are overweight now than before this dogma was foisted upon them. Fortunately, Dr. Earl Mindell -- who gave us the best-selling Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible and related other health books -- has written a book which explains the defects in the conventional avoid-fat/go-hungry dogma of weight loss and tells in easily-understandable language how to lose weight without going hungry. A major factor which Dr. Mindell points out is that excess consumption of carbohydrates -- especially sugar -- not excess consumption of fat, is the major cause of excess weight. Currently the average American eats a staggering 133 lbs of sugar each year, generally without realizing how much sugar they are consuming. Partly this is because in order to make low-fat foods taste appetizing the food industry has loaded our food with sugar. Another reason we eat so much sugar is because the majority of American are deficient in the mineral chromium and chromium deficiency causes sugar cravings. Eating foods rich in chromium, or taking an appropriate chromium supplement, can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, sugar cravings. And decreased consumption of sugar and other carbohydrates is a major factor in losing weight without going hungry. The huge amount of sugar and other carbohydrates currently being eaten by many American is also the major cause of the current increase in type II diabetes. All of these matters are discussed in easily understandable terms in this invaluable book. If you want to lose weight without starving yourself and avoid type II diabetes, this book is a good place to start.

Summary: Not your typical diet book
Review: I loved this book, it was not your typical weight loss book. This was not about restricting calories, not eating and did not require starvation to lose weight. Just about how to eat healthy and to lose weight sensibly. The products recommended in the book have helped me to not even want to eat. I now crave less sugar and starches and actually crave healthy food. I recommend this book all the time. Thanks for another great book Dr. Mindell

Summary: Better than Atkins
Review: If you have ever looked at low carb diets out there, you may notice how some of them just seem dangerous in what they are telling you to eat...Dr. Mindell takes a more sensible approach. He doesn't perscribe a bunch of saturated fats, and recomends a more health focused diet. Forget those 'Carb Blocker' bogus pills. (They don't work.) Dr. Mindell points out several nutrients that you can supplement with to reduce your lingering cravings for carbs, and help you consume less calories without starving yourself. I personally lost over 30 pounds following this diet, and would recomend it to anyone...
