Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Dr. David L. Katz, head of the Yale School of Medicine Prevention Research Center, provides expert guidance to lifelong weight control, health and contentment with food:
--Master your metabolism: Use healthy snacking to keep a steady level of insulin and leptin in your bloodstream to avoid surges of hunger.
--Create a "decision balance": Discover your real feelings about losing weight and maximize your motivation.
--Control your hunger: By limiting flavor variety at one sitting the satiety centers in your brain make you feel full faster.
--Uncover hidden temptations: Sweet snacks are really salty and salty ones are sweet-hidden additives trigger your appetite.
--Change your taste buds: You can keep your favorite foods on the menu, but by making substitutions gradually, you’ll come to prefer healthier foods.

With more than 50 skills and strategies provided nowhere else, The Way to Eat, created in cooperation with the American Dietetic Association, will make you the master of your own daily diet, weight and health.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Already Tired!
This book is way too demanding for someone already too tired to find the energy to read it completely. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. The reviews on this book should state the demands it would make on an individual to follow its perscriptions.

2) Eat less calories.

He explains that the most effective way to loose wieght is to reduce caloric intake as we often consume calories without thinking (using anecdotal asides that struck a chord with me).

Dr Katz clearly lays out the the most comon problems that people ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE way to eat!
The Way to Eat has changed my life. I had already lost over 100 pounds, but was not as healthy nor fit as I would like to be. His method of eating has taken me to the next fitness level and has improved my health. His method really is the way to eat; as our bodies were designed and intended.

As he says, the way we are living today in the fast food/junk food culture is like a polar bear trying to live in the desert--it just doesn't work!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - what it is
I wanted to lose about 10-15 lbs. Everyone I knew (thin people overall)were suddenly doing the no-carb thing. But as someone who has never been on and never wants to go on a diet I could not get myself to accept that grains are my downfall and meat is the answer. I was leary of trying to, quote, trick my body into thinking it is starving, during an induction period that was being recommended by the other diets. I wanted a diet that would be heart healthy long-term and that I would want to share as a way ... Read More
