Summary: An Intelligent, Workable Weight Control Program
Review: I first came across a review for the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Plan in early March of last year (2001), ordered a copy, and have been following the plan, more or less, for the past 10 months. In this period I have lost 30 pounds, competed in 2 triathlons, and done a competetive long-distance open water swim. I will have to say that until I began experimenting with the Mayo Plan, I had no idea that I had 30 pounds to lose! I was training to compete as a triathlete, and considered myself pretty healthy and in good physical condition. I assumed that if I lost 5 - 10 pounds, I would be hard as a rock. When my rock-hard abs didn't appear on schedule, I decided to keep on losing weight until they did. Such is the male ego. For me the Mayo Plan has turned out to be a good basic program for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. It also made me much more competetive as an athlete --- 30 pounds is a lot of excess weight to carry on a bike or on a run! (..)I'm quite enthusiastic about the Mayo Plan. I expect to be following the basic plan for the foreseeable future, and I recommend it often. If I can provide additional information beyond what I have put in this review or in the TriKC article, I would be glad to do so.

Summary: At last!
Review: I have been fighting excess weight all of my life, and have lost the same weight numerous times (then gained it all back, plus more). I have been on every "diet" known, I think, belonged to 3 different organizations that claimed to help me lose weight, and had finally given it all up as a lost cause, when I came upon a review for this book in my job as a librarian. Herein, if one chooses to follow them, are the most commonsense, easy-to-understand guidelines that I have ever seen--and I've read ALL of the books and tried many of their schemes. This distinctly NON-diet approach is healthy and, I am convinced, will work.

Summary: "Eat less, exercise more" and Believe you can do this!
Review: I love Mayo Clinic. To me, they are some of the best in the world in giving wanted information in an easy-to-read and enjoyable style and format. HEALTHY WEIGHT is divided into three parts: Getting Motivated, How to Lose Weight and When You Need More Help. At the beginning of each chapter there are about ten short sentences in bold print the key you in on the main points of the chapter which are very helpful and motivating.
Here are some key points that I have gained from reading that I'd like to remember and share:
"You have to cultivate a positive attitude about making lifestyle changes."
"Muscle burns more calories than fat does."
"Strength training can help burn calories at rest by maintaining muscle mass."
"There's evidence that being satisfied may be more strongly determined by the volume and weight of food you consume rather than the number of calories. In other words, fruits, vegetables and other high-fiber foods are bulkier...and fill you up better without the extra calories."
"If you focus on your health, then you'll develop healthy habits. If you develop healty habits, then the pounds will take care of themselves."
We could learn a lot from the Chinese: "The Chinese in Asia consume significantly more calories than do the Chinese in North America, yet they get a much smaller percentage of their calories from fat, weigh less, and are leaner. Their diet is predominantly plant-based, and the get about 90 percent of their calories from nonanimal sources. They also spend more time in vigorous activities."
"To limit calories, go easy on portion size and high-sugar and high-fat foods."
"Eat half the amount of food you normally eat, and eat more slowly."
"Eat when you are physically hungry, not when the clock says it is time to eat."
"Eradicate the "D" word...maintaining weight loss requires permanent change in activity levels and nutritional habits."
These tips are from just the first five chapters. (!) There's a wealth of information for all so enjoy reading this book and learning great tips to help you lose weight and maintain your loss successfully.
Soar!

Summary: Librarians love this book!
Review: I, too, am a librarian, and I found this book very refreshing after all the "Diet Hype" that is flying around out there. With every doctor on ever corner touting his/her own diet as being the "one true way", it's very easy to become confused as to just what, exactly, we're supposed to do to lose weight and eat more healthfully. This book is a no-nonsense approach; easy to read, easy to understand, and friendly. The authors understand how hard its been and tell you exactly what you need to know to set yourself right again. Ignore the protien plans and the carbo-diets. Ignore the "lose weight fast" schemes. Get back to basics, and get back to the healthy way of eating that really does work.

Summary: The greatest weight book yet!
Review: This book is absolutely awesome! It talks about how if you go on a diet, then that inplies that at some time you will be going off of it. In order to maintain a healthy weight, you would need to keep to the same pattern of eating and exercise. It talks about the difference between exercise like going jogging or to the gym and activity like mowing the lawn and taking stairs instead of elevators. The book will help you calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) to figure out if you are overweight and by how much. Then based on that how many calories you should take in a day. It has a brief chapter on weight loss programs like Weight Watchers, Atkins, TOPS and also talks about fad diets like the Grapefruit diet and the Cabbage Soup diet. It has a chapter on weight loss medications and one on weight loss surgeries. There is no Mayo Clinic Diet, it's just eating healthily and keeping fit for your entire life without deprivation or unrealistic goals. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is looking to lose weight, maintain weight or just eat healthier. It's awesome!
