The New Maximize Your Body Potential: Lifetime Skills for Successful Weight Management

Rating:
Summary: Good advice for practical people
Review: The New Maximize Your Body Potential offers sound advice for anyone thinking of a weight loss, including journal assignments and other nontraditional approaches to long term goal setting. Reading this book will help you not only get motivated for a regular exercise program, it will also help you manage stress and think about your eating in whole new ways. The book might benefit from more personal examples or personal stories but as a weight management primer, you will get results as you begin to internalize its message. For those of you looking for an alternative to Oprah's Make the Connection, give this book a try.

Summary: Most helpful book
Review: This is probably the most helpful, useful book I have ever read related to losing weight and maintaining the loss. I have read SO many books on dieting and on exercise but this is the one book that really prepares you mentally for obstacles that you might face and gives you strategies to help you cope. The author covers everything from eating in social situations to self-sabotage to dealing with saboteurs that you encounter in friends, co-workers and even family. She gives helpful stratgies for keeping your motivation going. I have highlighted the heck out of the book and copied many of the tables Joyce Nash provides for tracking success, nutritional intake, and eating behavior patterns. I would love for all of my friends to read this book but there is NO WAY I am going to loan mine out! If you want to lose weight safely and SANELY, help yourself out and buy this book!
