Good book. Helps a lot


The Daniel Fast: Feed Your Soul, Strengthen Your Spirit, and Renew Your Body
Review Date: 7/4/2012


In principle, this is a good healthy food plan, but if you're over weight and try to do the detox, you could run into some problems, like severe headaches, hunger, cravings. I just came off of the detox with the worst migrain I ever had.
If you do the plan, take it slowly and be sure to let your doctor know you're doing it.

For the emotional dieter, the yo-yo dieter, or the overeater, this is the worst possible book you could read. It totally depresses you.


Nice Girls Finish Fat: Put Yourself First and Change Your Eating Forever
Review Date: 6/18/2009


This is a wonderful book that details the disfunctional beliefs so many of us "NICE" girls have about ourselves and how it relates to our every day life, and how we see ourselves. It suggests positive ways to make changes that will improve the quality of your life in regards to how you feel about yourself as well as how you interact with others.
Sadly, I didn't fully grasp where being nice vs being overweight really connected. I realize a lot of people over eat when angry or depressed or a hundred other reasons, but I don't necessarely agree that changing our "nice" personality will change our behaviours towards food and over eating.
The book is thought provoking and many may find it extremely helpful, but I personally found it a little too clinical for my tastes. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I'd rate this book a 6.5.

If you like being called a fat pig and told you're stupid and deserve what you get then this book is for you. For those of you that want a good book that gives healthy advice for weight loss, look elsewhere. This book is not for you. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst, I'd give it a minus 10.

Easy to do exercises while watching TV. Great book for beginner exercisers, or those with a short amount of time to exercise.
