Book Review: Secrets of a Successful Loser

By Farris Yawn

Like many of you out there, Im in a constant struggle to control my weight. Ive eaten my share of pre-packaged meals, calculated points and journaled every bite of food. Keeping track of diet plans can be exhausting and frustrating, which is why we all have so much trouble, and many times wind up gaining back more than we lost.

In Secrets of a Successful Loser: The Problems People Have with Weight Loss and How Weve Solved Them, by Drs. Katherine Gettys and Susan D. Reynolds, the authors present a simple and straight-forward approach to weight loss that will make the process much easier.

The authors explain, in easy to understand language, some of the factors that lead to obesity in modern society and the negative consequences to our health caused by a high fat, high sugar and high calorie diet. They help you find what will motivate you to make the necessary lifestyle changes to shed the excess weight and the health problems that come with it.

The book provides ideas and strategies to help you set and reach your goals with questions and worksheets, as well as healthy recipes to replace the bad foods. This is a workbook as well as a diet guide, so that you can chart your progress and also review and update your motivations.

The information provided by Drs. Gettys and Reynolds will provide you the tools to evaluate your food options and make the healthiest choice, so that you can take control of your diet and your health. As they explain, its not all about willpower. Its about having the information and tools to choose wisely. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to lose weight.

The book is available at YawnsBooks.com and Amazon.com.
