Summary: Finally! Sane, sensible and SAFE advice that works!
Review: After years of yo-yo dieting, I've finally found something that makes sense. I've suspected for years I had low thyroid function, but the blood test my doctor ran showed me in the "normal" range. This book explains how that test (the TSH) can be misleading and what other tests can be used to PROPERLY diagnose thyroid and other hormonal imbalances. I started taking three simple amino acid supplements, and I felt better within 48 hours! Really! My energy is better, my sugar cravings are virtually gone, and I don't have all the muscle tension and aches that I used to have every day! This book offers sane, sensible and SAFE advice (I checked on this!) on using nutritional supplements to help re-balance the body's chemistry so that it can work better. It also recommends seeing a medical doctor to have certain tests run, to see if prescription medication is needed. The book has chapters on how to help problems with mood, energy, sugar/starch cravings, recurrent yeast infections, food allergies, and disgestion. It also reaffirms in a positive, supportive way that weight problems are not due to lack of willpower, but can be caused by our body's chemical imbalances.

Summary: Maybe there's some good info in here somewhere
Review: I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I'm forty three years old. When I recieved the book "The Diet Cure" I was drinking eight or more FULL water goblets of wine a night. I didn't admit to being addicted since I "only" drank at night. I was tired and weak all day. I would be all out of breath if I had to walk further than three feet. I had perimenapausal symtoms such as hot flashes and a pounding heart. I was miserable and felt miserable. My moods were irratic..I had negative thoughts all the time. My self esteem was shot.My aunt(God bless her!) sent me "The Diet Cure." At first I thought..Oh this is crazy! I was in denial. I was so use to feeling awful that I thought there's no way this is going to help me! But, I decided to give it a try since my aunt was nice enough to send it to me. I am so glad I did! I took my time as the book suggests and read everything until I understood. I set a date (one week before Christmas) to start on the plan. The first day had amazing results so I decided to continue. I will tell you I have never been so surprised in all my life...I feel like a new person! I use to lay down most of the day, never go out and I couldn't wait for 6:00 to come so I could start drinking!
I no longer drink, I walk moderately for thirty minutes on the treadmill daily, I no longer have naps during the day. I won't get on the scale because I don't think a person should be weighed like meat..but my size 3X clothes are looser and the best part for me is I feel GREAT! Thanks Julia! I could go on and on! I highly reccomend this book! ;)

Summary: Stopped my Severe Anxiety & Hypochondria
Review: I couldn't put this book down either! I FINALLY got answers in an easy-to-read format about PMS, thyroid, and other "problems" that make us lose control of our weight. If you purchase the supplements online, it's cheaper. It turned out I only needed 3 types of the animo acids she recommended and a multi-vitamin. It was no more that 30 dollars. Truly a great resource for anyone.
