The Hamptons Diet : Lose Weight Quickly and Safely with the Doctor’s Delicious Meal Plans
"Indulge yourself and be fabulous because of it" is the motto of The Hamptons--a 40-mile oceanfront stretch of Long Island where New York Citys rich and famous frolic--and of Pescatores diet. Former medical director of the Atkins Center, Pescatore incorporates what he believes to be the best of both low-carb and Mediterranean diets. The Hamptons Diet eliminates "unhealthful foods that your body does not metabolize well," Pescatore explains. His diet is high in monounsaturated fats (especially macadamia nut oil), vegetables, fish, lean meats, nuts, whole grains, and low-sugar fruits: "real food"--unprocessed, unrefined, mostly organic. Pescatore tells anecdotes about his rich and famous clients (first names only) who achieved health and weight loss with his program. His writing is peppy and easy to follow, though he falls into self-praise a bit much. He explains his concepts clearly, although you might want to skim some of his 21 pages about the properties of 32 different oils. About half the book consists of a 30-day menu plan and recipes that certainly dont shout "Im dieting": quiche, pancakes, hot dogs, burgers stuffed with blue cheese, steak salad, ham, casserole, meatballs (with veal, pork, chuck, and cheese), and pork chops, for example. --Joan Price

I am so glad for the Hamptons Diet. If you take time to read this book and learn from Dr. Pescatores 11 years of practicing nutritional medicine, you will see that this is the future of weight loss. It is the first sane, practical approach that I have ever seen. I cant tell you how much better it is

Until I found The Hamptons Diet, I spent countless hours explaining to my clients why Atkins and South Beach were not the right way to lose weight and eat healthy. Dr. Pescatores healthy approach to weight loss, taking the best of controlled carbs and the Mediterranean diet built on a whole, organic

Other diets have proven to be most futile. The Hamptons diet, i think, owes most of its success to the plethora of healthy foods that the person is allowed to eat; whereas, in other diets the monotony is excrutiating and makes you wonder if you should just go outside, place yourself beneath the tree

Im a big fan of Dr. Judith Orloff. A psychiatrist and professor at UCLA, she broke important ground with her first book, Second Sight, by revealing how she has learned to come to terms with and embrace her intuitive/psychic abilities. Following it up with Dr. Judith Orloffs Guide to Intuitive Healin..
Healing Back Pain : The Mind-Body Connection
Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain--Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)--and isnt really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods dont work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs--and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the minds effort to repress emotions. Hes not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, hes saying that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, or ..

I never believe in fads and "heal your self in 12 easy steps" type books. But I was getting desperate! I couldnt even walk at times. I remeber sleeping on the floor just 15 feet from the bathroom and how it took 30 minutes of terrible pain to get there. I was having back, neck and shoulder spasms th..

As soon as I realized I was pregnant, I knew I had to buy this book, as it seemed to me that everyone else who had become pregnant owned it. Dont think you have to read it all at once - it is broken down into the 9 (10) months of pregnancy so I could read only a bit at a time, which I appreciated. M..
