HURRY, HURRY, I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT, but how do I do it?

I am so overwhelmed at work right now with people wanting to get in shape. It's the new year and it's time to lose the holiday pounds. There are more people out there than I could ever help, so I thought I might type something now and refer people to it. I honestly have so much to do that writing on this blog is the last thing on my mind, but this information is important.

Reuters just published a story entitled, New Years Dieters can Binge on Publishing Boom. It is a good read and speaks a lot of truth. Every year there are tons of books that come out talking about different diets, but everyone wants to know the best one to follow. If you want to know the answer to that, avoid any book that is extreme or promises fast results. Pick something that is moderate that you can stick to for a life time. If you can do that, then you have yourself a winner. Some book ideas from the article are:

"You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management" by Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz

The Diet Detective's Count Down: 7500 of Your Favorite Food Counts with Their Exercise Equivalents for Walking, Running, Biking, Swimming, Yoga, and Dance by Charles Stuart Platkin

The Biggest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Delicious Recipes Adapted from NBC's Hit Show by Devin Alexander, Karen Kaplan, The Biggest Loser Experts and Cast, Bob Harper

The Serotonin Power Diet by Nina Frusztajer Marquis, Judith J. Wurtman

The F-Factor Diet: Discover the Secret to Permanent Weight Loss by Tanya Zuckerbrot

Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen by Naomi Moriyama

The Best Life Diet by Bob Greene

Feed Your Tiger: The Asian Diet Secret for Permanent Weight Loss and Vibrant Health by Letha Hadady

The F2 Diet by Audrey Eyton

The Wine Diet by Roger Corder (I have no idea where to get this book)

Sleep Away the Pounds: Optimize Your Sleep and Reset Your Metabolism for Maximum Weight Loss by Cherie Calbom, John Calbom

That list should keep everyone busy for a while. I have not read any of these books, so unfortunately I can't comment on them directly. Take the time to read up on each of them, find something you think you can stick with, and follow it exactly for the rest of your life. Don't throw in the towel yet; you can get results and keep them. Just start eating healthier and move more. Those two components alone will take you a long way when you truly stick with it.

I hope to post again soon when I catch a break from the rush....in the meantime take a look at my old posts. There's a lot to read on here, so I hope you enjoy it. Until next time......
