Overcoming Jet Lag

Summary: Excellent Regimen to Arrive In Synch
Review: Concise yet detailed book outlines a highly effective program to beat jet lag, no matter how many time zones you may be crossing, no matter what time of day or night you are traveling.

Basic theory behind the program is described well, but most of this nice, short book is a full how-to for every possible flight... time zones involved, direction of flight.

Reader simply looks up the schedule that best describes upcoming flight, and follows the instructions. But don't do this at the airport the day of the flight. Diet must be altered three days in advance of travel.

My family and I have been using this for 15 years, and we swear by it. The only time it hasn't worked for me is when I've tried to cheat the system (watched an in-flight movie when the book said I was supposed to be sleeping, that sort of thing).

Unfortunately, most airlines do all they can to keep passengers stuck in their departure time zone (ensuring days of jet lag for all), but this book shows how necessary it is to board the plane and get right into the arrival time zone. It does take a sense of discipline to follow the program while in flight. In general the flight is not particularly enjoyable if you're following the program and are therefore out of sync with all the other passengers, BUT if you are a business traveler or don't have the luxury of wasting several days, you will find that the short-lived discomfort is insignificant!

A highly useful book for the international business traveler... would make a nice gift for someone going off on a round-the-world or other long flight. (But give it well in advance of the travel)!

Summary: It Works!
Review: Having used this for a round trip of UK to Australia and back via Bangkok (out) and Hong Kong (back)all the space of 12 days, I can promise you it works. My son, travelling with me, didn't follow it properly and suffered but I arrived back in the UK at 6:00am and was in the office, alert, later the same day.

Summary: A must for vacationers or business travellers
Review: I began using this system in 1986, based on an earlier version of this book. I've used it repeatedly on trips to Europe and Asia, and I've been able to make the best use of my first day at my destination every time. On the few occasions when I couldn't use this system (due to sudden unexpected trips), I found out how debilitating jet lag can be... like having a case of the flu, I was just "out of it" for a couple of days!

I've given copies of this book to many friends and business associates over the years, and all have praised the results!

Summary: This Really Works
Review: I have used the program detailed in this succint little book for 10 years now, beginning with a trip from Los Angeles to Thailand. After following the program and flying for what seemed like days, I arrived at midnight. The following morning I was fully functional and alert at 10 am and suffered no symptoms. I recently used the program for a trip to London and back with no appreciable jet lag. The book explains in very simple terms how our body clocks work, and how modern studies have learned how to reset them quickly and easily with a minimum of deleterious effect. One starts the program from 1 to 3 days prior to travel, and much of the book is filled with detailed instructions for each time zone interval. It does take discipline to adhere to the program while on the plane, but with a little effort it can be done and the result is definately worth it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who travels by air. It will make your journey far more enjoyable and you will have more time to enjoy your stay instead of recovering from jet lag for days. A must read for business travelers as well.

Summary: Worked for me
Review: Last month, I traveled 9 time zones west to Asia for a week trip. Then after being back in Colorado for 2 weeks, I flew 8 time zones east for a 5 day trip. Normally, I would be wasted most of the month, but after using the plan laid out in this book, I was alert during the day and sleep most of the nights. It didn't totally negate jet-lag but my recovery was shorter. I would give it a 5 star rating but the diet lists some rather random foods and like possum and racoon. What are they thinking someone is flying on Ozark Airlines? If I ate that stuff I would have more problems than just jet lag!

Summary: Jet Lag Prevention Personified
Review: This scientifically proven "recipe" for smooth and successful adjustment when traveling between Time Zones may not work-- completely-- for all destinations, but it surely will work for 98 percent of the rest of your prospective travel plans.

I've had this little book in my hands since its first publishing and have given countless copies to others along the way. Professionals have been using it for years. From White House summits overseas to professional athletes competing abroad-- this little book has been their answer for enhancing the quality of their trips with optimum mental and physical performance.

For some years this little gem was "Hard to Find," but I never gave up trying to locate a copy. Now it's reprint can once again benefit everyone to be side effects free. It worked for me so well that I still follow the diet to maintain a healthy even weight. This little book is GREAT and one of my most very favorite. Go for it.

Summary: Forget the naysayers, this book works!
Review: We have been traveling overseas an average of once per year for the last 20 years. We started using an earlier version of the book 15 years ago, and we won't leave home without it. Even when we don't follow the "rules" religiously, we still arrive ready to do "time battle" within a day or two. For folks on a short 3-5 day trip to Europe or beyond, this book is a MUST. The folks on the airlines will look at you strangely when you ask for two cups of coffee and then insist on going to sleep right away (eastbound) with no dinner, but trust me, it works. Why waste the first day of your vacation in London, Paris, or Rome sleeping?

Summary: Works for me and my husband!!
Review: We have followed this Jet Lag diet for about 5 years now. We combine it with the NO-Jet Lag homeopathic remedy. We never have more than one day of slight jet lag. Interestingly, the airlines seem to use the jet lag diet strategy in the meals they serve on the plane--at least in business class.

Summary: A must for any time-zone traveller
Review: we have used this book and the method for more than 20 years - with children from infant to adult age! You actually start following this method 3 days before your departure. It truely works!
The first few pages explain how your body works, how caffein works, and how that can be used to overcome jet lag. The next 80 same pages you look up the individual time zones that apply to your trip. That's where you find the diet schedule for your personal trip. In the back you find several pages of food items and sample menues, that allow you to put your diet together according to your own tastes. Overcoming jet lag with this guide is EASY. No other supplements are neccessary!
I'm buying several books, so I can give it to our international visitors!
