You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist
Management
by Mehmet C. Oz and Michael F. Roizen (2006)
Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts
information, motivation, and change-your-life action to
show you how your brain, stomach, hormones,
muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact
biologically to determine if your body is the size of a
baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In YOU: On a
Diet, Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure
is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the
organs that influence your body's size and its health.
You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate
on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best
indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat.
[amazon.com editorial review]
Would you ever consider going to the kitchen in the
morning and grabbing five slices of bread for breakfast?
No? Just one bagel is more like it, right? Well, your
morning bagel is equivalent to eating five slices of bread.
Your steak at dinner is equal to the protein in eighteen
eggs. And that huge bowl of pasta you had at lunch is
anybody’s guess. Nobody likes to cut back but the cold
hard facts are in: Portion sizes have steadily increased
over the past thirty years and our collective waistlines are
ballooning right along with them.
You may need to eat a little less if you want to lose
weight, but with The Portion Teller Plan you can eat all of
your favorite foods. Nutrition and portion size expert Dr.
Lisa Young presents an individualized guide to eating
according to your portion personality and food
preferences. You’ll learn a simple system of visuals–a
deck of cards, a baseball, your own hand–to help gauge
portion size. You’ll be able to eat out, eat in, cheat, and
eat on the road without ever being a portion victim again.

When You Eat At The Refrigerator, Pull Up A Chair
This book was awarded many 5-star ratings on
Amazon, and for good reason. Roth gives women
50 ways to feel thin, gorgeous, and happy (when you
feel anything but) and does so in an easy-to-read and
entertaining format. You can pick up the book and
read one small chapter at a time. Take 50 weeks, if
you like, to read through the delightful ideas she gives
to help you feel special. She enlightens the path to
freeing yourself of dieting forever: by refusing to diet,
by trusting yourself to eat as much as you need to
satisfy your hunger, and by throwing away your 'skinny
clothes' because they keep telling you that you're not
who you want to be. Become the person you want to
be! A real life-changing book.
