The Weigh Down Diet

Rating:
Summary: The only way to go!!
Review: What could make more sense than eating the way God intended usto eat? Our bodies have the perfect indicators, if only we listen andfollow what we hear. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied. Eat what your body is calling for. No more counting calories, carbohydrate grams, fat grams, anything. This book makes the most sense of any diet book (I'm sure I've read them all...) and is the simplest to follow.

Summary: This is a wonderful book.
Review: I love this book. After reading this book I joined the Weigh Down Workshop. I can not think of one bad thing to say about it....and usually I find a diet and I can pick it apart and find a reason not to do it but I have no excuse now...I am now flying above....

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: Finally a diet that works! I've dropped 2 dress sizes and have kept it off for over a year!!! I am thinner now then when I worked out five days a week to get fit for my 10 year reunion. This works better than exercise. Now I just exercise for my health. Try it - it works!

Summary: Worth Re-reading!!!
Review: After reading this book 2 times, I believe that this book is worth re-reading again. Gwen Shamblin tells the truth whether or not it goes against the popular weight loss programs. I have been on this diet now for 3 months, and feel great. I haven't made it to the Promise Land yet, but I have lost 26 lbs. As I turn my will over to God, I will loss all weight. By the way, I'm reading this book for the third time, to get these concepts deep into my head. This book shows us that we need God in every area of life!

Summary: Factual based program.
Review: The information in this book set me free from being overweight. I went from a size 14 to a size 7 in 4 months. I found the information included to be factually based on the Bible. There is nothing misleading or underhanded. The scripture references are straight from God's word. I was looking for a renewal of my heart and found this book. The weight loss was just an added bonus. I have shared my success story with anyone who asks, and many people do ask. Everyone wants freedom from fat and bondage to whatever has hold of them. Things that take away our joy in life. I am thrilled that at least 30 of my friends have purchased this book and have found their way to freedom and weight loss and some freedom from other things that held them captive. I highly recomend this book. If you are truly seeking change, you will find it. If you are seeking God, you must be prepared to accept Him and His grace. The choice tho, is entirely yours.

Summary: Misleading information
Review: Scriptures sited in this book are taken completely out of context particularily those dealing with "good" and "bad" foods. Encourages people to eat an unhealthy diet based on those scriptures. I would not recommend this program.

Summary: Finally! True freedom from a 40 year battle
Review: I was in a diet/eat/hate myself cycle for years. I found this program, and now food is no big deal. I don't even think about it until I am hungry. I eat whatever my body calls for (and it likes a wide variety of foods) and stop when satisfied. This has been a huge change for me. I do not attempt to solve my problems with food, nor do I use it to celebrate. I have finally found true joy and a positive direction for my life. This book and the Weigh Down program were God's tools to change my life. I was a happy person before who was constantly fighting the battle of weight...now I am ecstatic because I have been released from that bondage. You really can have your cake and eat it too, AND stay thin doing it. The program may be hard to grasp at first (it all seems so foreign for a life-long dieter), but the secret is to not give up.

Summary: CHANGING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Review: WE HAVE TO BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS. WE HAVE TO CHANGE ON THE INSIDE IN ORDER FOR THE OUTSIDE TO FOLLOW SUIT. THIS IS WHAT THIS BOOK IS TALKING ABOUT. I'VE JUST READ THE BOOK BUT HAVEN'T WENT THROUGH A WORKSHOP YET. IT'S TALKING ABOUT BEING FREE, FREE TO CHOOSE WHAT WE EAT. EVERYTHING IS ALLOWABLE FOR US TO EAT BUT NOT ALL THINGS ARE GOOD CHOICES. BUT WE SHOULDN'T FEEL GUILTY IF WE EAT SOMETHING GOOEY AND RICH INSTEAD OF VEGGIES. IF YOU THINK IT'S WRONG TO EAT JUNK FOOD, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T. BUT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT BEING FREE; FREE FROM WHAT YOU AND OTHERS SAYS YOU SHOULD EAT AND EVEN HOW MUCH YOU SHOULD EAT. IT'S BETWEEN YOU AND GOD AS TO WHAT IS RIGHT. THIS BOOK WILL PUT YOU ON THE PATH TO FREEDOM, NOT TO OVERINDULGE BUT TO CHOOSE WITH THE GOD-GIVEN ABILITY YOU ALREADY POSSESS. IF YOU HAVE WANT TO CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT, THIS BOOK WILL GET YOU STARTED.

Summary: The most excellent weight loss program ever! I've LOST WEIGH

Rating:
Summary: Excellent idea, concerned about parts of message
Review: This book is a definite breakthrough in "dieting". My only problem is the religious language being possibly too fundamental. There is mention of homosexuality being an "indulgence" so to speak. I do have a problem with that being grouped into the "sin" category, based on the more recent readings and correct interpretations of biblical writings. Center on the deadly sin of gluttony and leave the sexual orientation out, and I think you will appeal to many more Christians.
