There are so many weight loss methods available in the market. Inspite of them I always believed there is no substitute for a balanced diet. I did not know properly about portion size, food pyramid, how to shop healthy and so many different things. But this particular DVD is so simple to understand and follow I felt as if I found the magic wand to loose weight. I honestly believe there is no shortcut to weight loss and maintaining healthy weight. This DVD taught me to imbibe healthy lifestyle as a part of my everyday life. I lost weight couple of times and gained back but this time I am confident I will be able to maintain and retain my healthy weight throughout my life.

There are two interesting lectures with doctors talking to real people who know they need to lose weight. The doctors are caring and they seem so invested in the health of their clients/patients and want to help those who ask for guidance. They are straightforward and practical in their approach to overweight problems. Then there is a section on yoga that is worth the price of the DVD! Rodney Yee leads and demonstrates yoga poses/exercises that can be done in your livingroom with a chair and on the floor no matter what your size. There is also a meditation section that my husband and I enjoyed. We went to bed so calm and relaxed after those two segments.

I had just finished reading "Eat This, Not That" - a book about making healthy choices at the supermarket - and it included a chapter on how grocery stores are laid out. The food that is good for you is on the periphery while the refined and processed foods are on the inner aisles. Imagine my surprise when I sat down to watch this DVD and one of the Mayo Clinic doctors actually took the viewers on a trip to the supermarket and explained AND demonstrated that very thing. Talk about reinforcement!

This is a great value for this DVD and all the good information it contained. A nutritionist gives examples of portions and types of foods and their portions for the amount of calories. I love peanuts and discovered I was getting way too many calories from eating too many of them at a time. Watching this again every few weeks while I slowly but mindfully lose weight will be a reinforcement for me. Worth every cent! The Mayo Clinic food pyramid has an exercise circle in its center! How appropriate.

As purchaser of DVDs for a public library, I look for quality. The Mayo Clinic name means this wellness series will provide good information for our patrons.
