At long last, Princess Diana's health secrets!, March 31, 2006
This review is from: Body Transformation: Lose Weight, Gain Energy, & Reverse Premature Aging (Hardcover)
I had heard that Princess Diana was going to endorse a health and diet book, but after her death, nothing ever seemed to come of it. That said, when I read that "Body Transformation" was finally being published, I couldn't wait to read it. It was well worth the wait. When I read that I could eat more and still lose weight, I was just blown away, but Julie Chrystyn really is a treasure of a writer. Nothing preachy, nothing fancy -- just good and very readable advice on diet and longevity. It's easy to see why Princess Diana wanted to be involved with this book, and I bet she's looking down from up above and smiling, knowing that Ms. Chrystyn did her proud. I've been reading diet and health books for over 20 years, and I honestly don't ever remember reading one as insightful as "Body Transformation." I can recommend this book to anyone interested in health, Princess Diana or the secrets to a long life.

CONCISE AND COMPELLING, July 9, 2006
This review is from: Body Transformation: Lose Weight, Gain Energy, & Reverse Premature Aging (Hardcover)
What distinguishes this book from others I've read is that it brings to table a real sense of integrative medicine/health. The book makes the argument, and I think it's an unassailable argument, that the restoration of health and vitality arises from a total integration of diet, exercise, and crucial psychological changes. All I can say is that for me this book is actually changing my life. The book has taken all sorts of disparate elements and finally organized them into a plan I can really use. It's changing my life, and I can't give it a higher recommendation than that. It's a slow process, but I can feel it working everyday. Grab this one.

DIVINE GUIDANCE!, July 18, 2006
This review is from: Body Transformation: Lose Weight, Gain Energy, & Reverse Premature Aging (Hardcover)
Well, this book might not be divine guidance, but it certainly felt like that to me. I've been coping with body-image issues for most of my life; I've tried one useless diet after another. Yet this book addressed the underlying, core issues in a way that nothing else had, including therapy. Chrystyn nails this one in a way that every woman will understand, and probably some hip men, too! Highly recommended.
