Summary: Weigh Down Really Works
Review: I not only read this book but volunteered to be the coordinator for the Weigh Down Workshop at my church. We ended our 12-week sessions the last of June, and of the several people who were keeping track of their weight loss, a total of 170 lbs. was shed in just 12 weeks. One man lost 33 lbs. and lowered his cholestrol from 280 to 149. I have been amazed at how little food the body really needs to run on. I am still eating my pizza, chocolate along with a variety of foods that keep me healthy. I have not been deprived of the food I enjoy and my relationship to God has improved a hundred fold. Weigh Down is a true blessing in a world that has focused on "self" for too long. As a song that Gwen sings on one of the video tapes says, "Save Your Heart for Him." God can and will change your life and your desire to only eat what your body needs, and you will lose your weight as a side benefit. So far I have lost 14 lbs. and am back in a size 8 once ! ! again. Hooray!

Summary: Written by a real person for real people!
Review: This book is written by a real person who knows what she is talking about. You know, been there, done that! There is nothing worse than trying to accept advise from someone who hasn't been in your shoes.This book is written in everday-language and is quite humorous, eventhough Gwen doesn't claim to be a comedienne! I found true hunger, and true fullnes and lost 18 pounds the first time I read it. Since reading the book the first time in April of 1997, I've lost a total of 43 lbs!! In addition, I have given up my pride of having 'nice' hair and many relationships have changed due to the simple information give in simple language! Thanks, Gwen!!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I bought this book to lose weight. How could I know that it would change my life? The weight that I have lost is not only from my body, but my soul. This has led me into a closer walk with My Lord. I have fallen hopelessly in love with Him. The real title of the book should be, Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thank you Gwen, for showing me the destructive path that I was on! Thank you Lord for loving us! I really love being thinner, inside and out.

Summary: Finally...Giving God credit for intelligently creating us!!!
Review: As with anything you read and/or hear, every individual must "eat the fish and spit out the bones". Fortunately, there is more fish than bones here. I believe that God has given Gwen Shamblin real revelation on this issue of bondage to food. As with any issue of life, our passion must be rightly placed in God; the Creator, rather than the things He created.

Summary: This book will change your life!
Review: If you are an overeater and wish to lose weight, this book is for you!! I've tried other ways to lose weight, but unless you can change yourself and your desire to overeat, you will never keep the weight off permanently. (Gwen's words, not mine) This book will help you do that. I've been following Gwen's "plan" for 2 weeks and have lost 8 pounds! Try it!

Summary: Revolutionary! "The Cure". One of a kind! Changed my life!
Review: We all know "thin eaters" who seem to eat everything but never gain weight. This book asks (and dares to answer) the question of why am I not like that? What is it in me that causes me to want to chew more than my body needs to naturally maintain my weight? After honestly and sensitively answering that question (I knew her answers were right because they pierced me), author Gwen Shamblin then goes on to tap you into a new and very real "power source". The last "diet book" you will ever read, because it's the last diet book you will ever NEED.

Summary: I can't believe it does work!!!!
Review: I've tried just about every diet out there today, I know what most are about. I also know that they only work for a while, at least for me! On the weigh down diet I found out that I can eat what I want when I get hungry and because of that all foods have lost their powers over me. I am no longer tempted to sneak a cookie on the side or a candy bar on the way home from the grocery store. I have found out that the Lord is the Bread of life and He will provide all of my needs according to His richess in heaven. That says it all! Come on give it a try, what do you have to lose, (10 maybe 20 pounds)? :) Praise God for His wonderfun gifts. I lost 40 lbs. and went from a size 14-16 to a size 8. Give it a try! You will never be the same!!!

Summary: Finally the right way to lose weight!
Review: This book is fabulous! I've tried everything to lose weight and keep it off but nothing else worked. Changing your focus away from food and towards God is the answer. I have a new opinion about food. I thank God for giving Gwen the insight to write this book.

Summary: I could not put this one down!
Review: I just finished "The Weighdown Diet" and can not wait to start the Workshop in 5 days. It all makes perfect sense now and I feel ashamed that I did not figure this one out on my own. God will be my guide in my eating from now on and I have no doubt that weight I have to lose will finally be gone!! PTL
