Didn't lose weight, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book a few years ago. I didn't lose weight, but I felt it was valuable in many other ways.

First, I was encouraged by the section on hypothyroidism to pursue a detailed thyroid investigation (beyond the standard tests) and am now on hypothyroid medication, which gives me more focus and a sense of well-being, even if I haven't lost weight. I also started taking SAM-e which I also find very helpful for having more energy. I was also encouraged to go to a naturopath and holistic doctor to take things such as adrenal fatigue seriously and attempted to work those out.

Second, I found the section on amino acid supplements very helpful. I don't take L-Glutamine due to it causing very bad cystic acne (unfortunately, for whatever reason), however, I have found the other amino acid supplements helpful. Initially I took the rigorous, high-dose supplement plan (despite the cost and funny looks from people around me), and eventually tapered off to occasional use of some of them when I feel it is necessary. I feel like they contributed to my overall health and well-being and helped me get through some emotionally challenging times and helped me to distinguish between feeling down biochemically versus emotionally and have become quite a believer in the usefulness of amino acid supplements (although no one I tell seems to believe me).

So, overall, I feel like reading the book was very valuable to me and had a lot of helpful information, even if it didn't work out for weight loss.

Also I appreciate that the book is well-written, with detail and research-based or experience-based references to back it up, rather than just personal opinion or popular belief, which is what most diet books are about these days.

Don't wait - get your life back

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I used coffee for energy and alertness, melatonin for sleep, alcohol for mood enhancement, and chocolate for depression. Sugar was always good for a pick-me-up. But I was still moody, weepy, or obnoxious. I had days of zero motivation when I quit caffeine, and sugar cravings even on a low-carb diet.

I started with Julia Ross' supplements, and got my life back. In the morning, DLPA makes me sunny and sociable. Other people smile back, I feel better about myself, and I get more done. In the evening, tryptophan and HTP-5 make me relaxed and finally, after years of waking at 2 AM and snacking so I can get back to sleep an hour later, I sleep through the night. Zinc helps my immune system, thyroid manages my weight, and I can get on with life.

What would you give for a good day? For a good night's sleep? To be able to quit obsessing about stuff? To be able to mix socially without fear? To be able to stick to a diet? To enjoy the taste of veggies and quit sugar without cravings? To ignore your favorite comfort food - or drink - and not miss it, because you're having too much fun?

Now I can't resist sharing these supplements with my family. I sent my sister a copy of Julia's other book, The Mood Cure, and she's busy spreading the news with her family. I gave my dad tryptophan and he (at 87 years old) is very pleased to get another hour of sleep in the morning. Plus then he doesn't need as many naps.

The supplements work, and they work fast. You'll know in an hour or less if you got the right one. Now I take DLPA when I'm driving, so I can be more alert.

Don't wait another day. Julia's book will guide you since everyone is different. I wish I had known all this 50 years ago. I would have been President. Or just happy, which is even better.

Worth the effort, but could be presented better.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Love the information and it works, but could be organized a LOT better.

A lot of jumping around from one chapter to the next. Many times I'd read a tip or point about a supplement in one chapter that is majorly changed or augmented by another tip in a subsequent chapter. A necessary chart is printed sideways on a page.

This stuff works...I've lost twenty pounds in a month and have completely lost my sweet tooth while giving up caffeine and feeling better emotionally. For the first time in my life, I have a clear "I'm full" signal from my stomach long before I'm bloated and stuffed. Coke Zero now tastes horrible to me, and fresh fruit tastes better than it ever did before. Fresh pineapple is sublime! This is wonderful.

But it could be organized so much better. Don't expect a quick read, but be prepared to take a college semester course. What I'd kill for is for an app based on the materials that could recommend a customized supplement and eating plan based on your answers to the book's quizzes. If Ms. Ross were able to that and charge a hundred dollars, I wouldn't be able to give her my money quickly enough.

Unlike the dozens of diets and foodplans I've tried over the years, I have no intention of giving this one up after a month and going back to the Standard American Diet. Highly recommended.

Por ahora todo bien, gracias a Kindle puedo buscar la traducción de una palabra instantáneamente
pero no me hace tanta falta ya que tengo un buen nivel de inglés.

Por lo demás me da la sensación que es uno de esos libros que vas a
agradecer tener siempre a mano a lo largo de la vida porque es muy útil.

Si me ayuda a superar la anorexia (o sobrellevarla) pienso comprarlo en físico.
PD: mejor comprarse el libro que tirarse meses buscando "la solución a tus
problemas de salud mental o física" te vas a ahorrar un par de billetes.
