Great principles in this book, March 20, 2005
This review is from: Thin Over 40 (Paperback)
I have been doing the Thin Over 40 Journey [...] It is a journey to apply the principles of the book.
It is very obvious that this book and journey is not about another diet plan. It is about living a life of good health. To be honest I would not have bought the book if it was just another diet scheme. I do not need to lose a lot of weight but I want to keep the weight off that I lose and I want my waistline to not increase as I age. At around 8 weeks I lost 10 pounds (my goal) and I am now into week 12 and I still have achieved my goal.
By applying the principles found in the book, my eyes were really opened to how I have been overeating. By using the tools on the website, I have been able to track my food intake which has been my biggest problem. The book emphasizes exercise, but it is soeasy that almost anyone can do, but to be honest, that the hardest part for me to do-I have excuses all the time.
What I like about the book is that it is very easy reading, each day gives you a goal that is easy to accomplish (even though at the beginning it seems impossible), it is very balanced-no gimmicks, it has principles that are applicable to anyone-regardless of age.
The only main drawback I see in the book is that I believe Week 11 should be at the start of the book. It is about shame, guilt, unforgiveness, and focusing on the positive instead of the negative. I think those who have extreme weight issues, need to read this at the beginning so that they do not live with shame and guilt if they strugle during the Thin Over 40 Journey.[...]

Learn Something New Each Day, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Thin Over 40 (Paperback)
I am really enjoying this book and continue to learn new things each day and week. This is not a diet book, but rather an instrument that will educate you on the importance of good health, good choices, the importance of exercise, and the gradual process to change to increase longevity. You will learn about fat formulas, metabolism, glycemic index/load, and more. The lessons each day help you become more aware of your daily habits, and the 'success in action' tips help you do something about making these improvements. This program will not only help you lose excess weight, but long term improved habits should increase well being and prevent future health problems. I have every diet book published, and I am still following this plan on week 4 and am enjoying the journey to good health and longevity.
