I am so thankful for Ken Baum and his book Metabolize. The whole concept of Metabolic individuality is logical and realistic. My past failures at dieting are well docomented in my mind, Nutri-System, Jenni Craig, Protein Power, The Zone, Volumetrics, and out of desperation I even tried Richard Simmons and failed. Metabolize wipes the slate clean and shows you how to change your thinking about your past and create a new weight loss strategy for the future. Ken has wonderful techniques to integrate powerful thought and body changing action. This is so much more than a diet book. Metabolize teaches you how to eat, think, move, breath and supplement for healthy, permanent weight loss. My life has changed and so has my body. I will forever be different and no longer have the cravings for the junk that was polluting my body and making me fat and lazy.

My husband had a special surprise for our 15th anniversary, a trip to the Bahamas! I was excited and nervous. Excited because it was my dream vacation, nervous because I was so fat. I started looking at bathing suits and just wanted to cry! Nothing looked good on me, NOTHING! First for Women magazine had an article about a new book that came out in Jan. of this year called METABOLIZE. I bought it out of desperation having tried everything else. The information is so good and easy to read. The diet is not a diet at all but a unique way of sensible eating for your body. I have lost 58lbs since Jan and the sexy bathing suits that made me cry now make me smile... because they fit! Our vacation turned out great and I didn't put the weight back on after we got home. Meatbolize is a wonderful book. Thank you for helping my dream vacation be all I ever hoped it could be.

This book is very easy to understand. It leads you through a step-by-step process of what you need to do to find your metabolism. It was very easy to understand. It is a great way to lose weight because it allows you to eat many of the same foods, just in different proportions. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to get into better shape.

This book is not just easy to follow -- it's EFFECTIVE! I was kind of just reading the cover and was impressed with Mr. Baum's explanations and credentials, so I picked up the book. Not only is he very to the point with his examples, he also is easily understood. Also, THERE ARE SAMPLE MENUS! I was very impressed with this. Most books try to sell you menus as an add-on, or upsale, this book gave them to you right there on the pages!

Most importantly of anything though, is the immediate results I'm seeing. By the third day, I started feeling GREAT! Now, I am already losing weight without even giving up any of the foods I like. Thank You Mr. Baum!

I took one look at this book and bought it immediately. The idea that one person's metabolism is probably different than another person's makes a lot of sense to me. And why do all these fad diets assume that they work for every type of person on the planet?

First you take a self-test in this book to determine your type. Then you can figure out a diet based on relative amounts of certain nutrients you need. Apparently, certain nutrients have exact opposite effect in some people--a high protein, low carb diet may be absolutely WRONG for you. I sure would like to know that BEFORE I decide on a diet plan.

I also like the fact this book includes exercises, breathing exercises and recommendations for supplements and vitamins. The calorie levels are also set so you can pick one that suits your size and sex (not everyone should eat an extremely low calorie diet.) Of course the book also has sample menus, which are always helpful. Finally, the paperback edition is a reasonable size to fit in a purse or in a briefcase, meaning it can go with you anywhere.

I wasn't sure if I was Atkins, Pritikin or NO KIN to any of these (turns out I am mixed, so that is why I had trouble) This book is really excellent and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and eat right.

I was told you are 50 years old you can't change and you will always be fat.Metabolize ghanged my life and my body.Ilost 47lbs and have the energy of a 35 year old. My friends can't believe its me!My wife just keeps saying I can't believe this is you!It is me! And for the first time in my life this saying really applies "you are not getting older you are getting better."

The beach is warm in Pensacola pretty much year round. Shorts and Bikini weather for sure. I never had the confidence and body to feel comfortable in shorts, let alone Bikinis. Today after 4 months of metabolizing, I feel and look great! The menus work, the food choices are many(no deprivation),the exercises are easy to follow and the writting is THE BEST!

This is the most fun I've ever had losing weight. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give Metabolize a 11+! The menu choices are so easy to follow and yummy that I look forward to my diet. Good food, well written, real life application. Metabolize is definitely 5 stars!

What a Pleasant Surprise A Diet That Isn't A Diet But A Sensible Way of Eating For Individual Needs.All I Can Say Is Thanks Ken And Richard For The Straight Scoop On What Is really Good For People Long Term.I've Lost 23lbs And My Wife 19lbs. It's The Best Thing We've Ever Done For Our Health.

I was so excited the day my book arrived I started readingimmediately.The first thing that jumped out to me was theconversational style of writing.The humor is simply wonderful and the personal stories make Metabolize come alive.As soon as I began the 7 no sweat energy movements and felt energized I said, "finally something that works!" Doing all the mental exercises was fun and motivating. Learning how supplements work saved me a lot of money because I can stop taking the ones I don't need.All this makes Metabolize so much more than any diet book on the market Metabolize is a total program for weight loss and I recommend every body try it. It really works! I realize some want the magic of a quick fix but I know thats what kept me 8-25lbs overweight my whole adult life! AFTER 90 DAYS WITH METABOLIZE I'VE LOST 17LBS AND WEIGH WHAT I DID IN HIGH SCOOL-118LBS !
