...Several of [the] supplements Ms. Greenwood-Robinson refers to in her book are not that expensive when you realize that they also have many other positive effects other than just promoting weight loss.

This review is from: Natural Weight Loss Miracles (Paperback)
The title of this book should be, "Weight Loss Gimmicks That Could Be Miracles If You Had Unlimeted Time And Money". Ms. Greenwood-Robinson presents these products as the answers to everyone's problems: just pop a pill and you're on your way to a healthy body. But she only briefly addresses the fact that in most of the research she cites, the subjects took doses that are probably just not feasible. For example, in her chapter on pyruvate, she mentions that the subjects in the research studies took doses in the range of 8-36 grams. Most pyruvate supplements come in doses of 500-750 MILLIGRAMS per tablet! So to supplement your diet with this stuff would cost you a LOT of money. Some of the supplements in this book would indeed be good additions to a healthy lifestyle, but if you're looking for an easy way out, this isn't it. Unfortunately, there's still no substitute for good old-fashioned exercise and a balanced diet.

They re-build. They fight the effects of aging. They preserve the precious functioning of out brains and organs. Ms. Greenwood-Robinson's book has good information for wholeness of our whole body, not just weightloss "pills." |
