1. Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss by Joel Fuhrman, Mehmet C. Oz List Price: $23.99 Category: Hardcover (2003-01-02) Publisher: Little, Brown and Company ISBN: 0316829455 Sales Rank: 73285 Lowest New Price: $22.50 Lowest Used Price: $6.45 (36 Used Items) Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan Product Description When Mehmet Oz or any of New York's leading doctors has a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In EAT TO LIVE, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective, and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly, and keeping it off. Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman's plan is not about willpower, it is about knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula Health=Nutrients/Calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in two to three weeks is just the beginning. The more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman's patients consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer calories, and the less they crave fat and high-calorie foods. Designed for people who must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No willpower required-just knowledge! ... Read more Customer Reviews Average Customer Review: Based on 364 reviews. Eat to Live You want to be healthy read this book and his 2-book set Eat for health also by J. Furhman. Great Advice from a Questionable Source The overarching theme to take away from my review of this book is that I think it's excellent. I was really astounded to learn Furhman's theory on how the appestat is satiated by the level of nutrients in food, not in the quantity. I also enjoyed the part about calcium absorption. I am ready to begin my Six-Week Plan and I'm looking forward to breaking my addiction to overeating, sodium, and fatty foods. On the whole, this book is excellent advice and, even though aimed at those with serious illness or disease, is great for me. The one thing that occurred to me as I read this book, however, is the language that is used to support the science. Furhman opts out of the declarative in many of his conclusions, which makes me think he knows that this is not proven. I am amazed that his publisher did not take one look at the book and hand it back to him, saying, "If it's science, prove it." Instead, he dances. "If you have gained even as little as ten pounds since the age of eighteen or twenty, then you -could- be at significant increased risk for health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes." [Emphasis Added] "Whole wheat that is finely ground is absorbed into the bloodstream fairly rapidly and -should- not be considered as wholesome as more coarsely ground and grittier whole grains." [Emphasis Added] Fuhrman references "observational studies" in multiple places. This phrase makes me extremely cautious, especially coming from a learned professional. Lastly, and most tellingly, is this sentence. And for every author who wants me to take his or her work seriously, I implore you to rethink the use of this phrase. "-Apparently-, excessive vitamin A is potentially a problem in humans, too. . ." [Emphasis Added] What does this even mean? To whom is it apparent? He further modifies with "potentially", which makes me think even he knows that this claim is unsupported. In law school, we called a statement like this "illusory". To dial back my criticism, I do not doubt any particular claim made by Fuhrman. On the contrary, I believe every word of it! But anyone who uses this language to present facts about nutrition makes me suspect that it is not entirely truthful or there is substantial evidence to the contrary and the author does not wish to explore it. My biggest problem is two instances in which Dr. Fuhrman attempts to convince you that you know better than your doctor. "Do not expect to receive valuable health advice from your typical doctor. Physicians usually do not help; they rush through their patient appointments, especially in the current HMO climate, because they are paid so poorly for each visit and are pressured to see as many patients as possible each day. Your physician is likely doing just as poorly as you are and eating just as unhealthfully or worse. After reading this book, you could improve his health and reduce his risk of premature death more than he could help yours. Even when physicians offer their fullest time and effort, their recommendations are invariably too mild to have a significant benefit." "'My doctor noted that my complexion had turned yellowish and told me to cut back on foods containing carotene. . .' Tell your doctor it is he who has the dangerous skin tone." This is more than just a little scary. As I understand it, each and every one of us is just a little different, and our health problems are also just as unique. All health, exercise, and well-being programs I have ever come across recommend working with your physician, not against him or her. I realize Fuhrman is not out to make friends with this book (especially with other diet plans' creators), but he seriously comes close to holding a grudge against your general practitioner. He's making blanket recommendations, based on shaky observational science (see above) and telling you to disregard their advice? It seems almost criminal, but I guess you're expected to be smart enough to know that he really has no interest in you beyond the cover price you just forked over. See if you can spot the problem with this statement (hint: Furhman is a high-protein-diet guru!). "High-protein-diet gurus usually claim that they hold the truth and that all other doctors and scientists are wrong." In the end, it's just a little disappointing that this book was marketed to be about losing weight. You can clearly see that this is the influence on the publisher to have Fuhrman peddle his wares wearing the cheap cloth of quick pounds falling off. It's really "eating healthy results in losing weight results in a long, healthy life" that is the key to this plan. You'll have to pardon me, however: I need to chop up some vegetables. Thanks Dr. Fuhrman! After my last visit to my Dr.s office this past May, my physician said that my cholesterol was inching up at around 179 (medicated 10mg Lipitor) my blood sugar was at 99 and my blood pressure was averaging about 139/90 (medicated 20mg Lisinpril). Another issue came up, my AST levels were close to 200, which scared the daylights out of me. My weight was up to 223 as well, which was very disappointing because I've been trying to lose weight all year. Well, I found this book one week after that dread full visit to the Dr.s office. After reading it, I figured I'd give Dr. Fuhrman's diet plan a try for at least one week. Well, I've been on "that plan" ever since (over 3 months now) and guess what? 1. I lost over 30 pounds (down to 191) 2. I no longer take any Lipitor (without medication my cholesterol is at 150) 3. I no longer take any blood pressure medicine (average BP is 120/78) 4. Glucose is down to 82 5. AST levels back to normal All I can say is WOW! Up until reading this book, I was on BP medicine for the past 6 years. The cholesterol medicine was more recent, just 2 years. Now I am back to normal!!!! And, I plan to keep it this way. Nutrient rich low calorie foods all the way baby! Eat to Live This book is a great jump start to healthy eating! Because of it I have now gone Vegan along with my family. We have all lost weight and feel 100% better in everyway. Eat to Live This product arrived promptly and in great condition! It's exactly what I was expecting and asked for. ... Read more Similar Items: 1. Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) 2.

Oz List Price: Price: You Save: US$26.99 US$17.81 US$9.18 (34%) Category: Hardcover (2009-12-29) Publisher: Free Press ISBN: 1439164967 Sales Rank: 4430 Lowest New Price: $14.99 Lowest Used Price: $14.49 (18 Used Items) Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan Product Description For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management. Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In YOU: On a Diet, Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-theskin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat. Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start. With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet -- The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard. Welcome to your body on a diet. ... Read more Features: ISBN13: 9781439164969 Condition: New Notes: BUY WITH CONFIDENCE, Over one million books sold! 98% Positive feedback.

YOU: On a Diet Haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Kindle Edition - YOU on a Diet I really enjoyed the content of this book, but it doesn't lend itself to the Kindle format. I see this book as a reference, and I wanted to look back to review - one of the weaknesses of Kindle is it isn't easy to leaf through the book and find a reference. So, for books like this, in the future, I will buy the hard copy version. As for the book itself, I liked it a lot. It starts with scientific analysis of how our bodies process food, but written in laymen's language, and ends with a detailed plan for diet and exercise - just my kind of plan. return customer I liked the first edition of this book so much I wanted to have the newest version in my library. I Love this Book! I really love this book!! Haven't gotten a chance to read all of if yet but I love the way its written and the cartoon characters they use to help u understand is amazing!

There is no table of contents and the index has page numbers while the navigation system has locations. You have to scroll forever to find the topic you are interested in. No navigable list of contents is a big mistake. Helpful Overview for Every "Owner" Now that Dr. Oz is accessible to us all on TV each day, I'm particularly glad to have a couple of his books on-hand too. Like any instructional book, while they're well-written and easy to understand--as are his TV shows--my memory isn't quite what it once was. :-) I find this book helpful as an accessible overview for anyone who wants to understand the body's systems, how to live more healthily, and who longs for presentation of the subject matter in everyday language. My own work being in mind-body stress-relief, it's a book I recommend to clients for an introduction to body processes. [Stress-relief expert Susie Mantell is the bestselling author of the award-winning relaxation audiobook on CD, "Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace."Your Present: A Half Hour of Peace"Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace: A Guided Imagery Meditation for Physical & Spiritual Wellness not what i expected The book was extremely elementary and too off handed to be of any use to me. great book to turn your life around Easy to understand on how our body works and steps to take to make your life better and live longer. Uses humor to help you remember things and helpful easy steps to take you there. The new updated version is better than the old and lots of information to learn and remember easy.

Highly suggest this book for those of us that are facing older age :-) Hope this book works for you. ... Read more Similar Items: 1.

Oz List Price: Price: You Save: US$26.99 US$17.81 US$9.18 (34%) Category: Hardcover (2009-12-01) Publisher: Free Press ISBN: 1416572368 Sales Rank: 35038 Lowest New Price: $14.45 Lowest Used Price: $7.04 (24 Used Items) Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan Product Description Can I get a cavity filled while pregnant? Will avoiding spicy foods make my kid a picky eater? Can I really increase my baby's IQ while she's in utero? Whether you're pregnant for the first time, are trying to start your family, or already have enough children to start your own basketball team, you're bound to have questions about what it means to be pregnant -- and how you can increase your odds of having a healthy and happy pregnancy. But no matter how much you've read, watched, studied, or talked about this amazing biological journey, you have never read anything like this. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz act as mythbusters for the hundreds of questions surrounding pregnancy in the same scientific, informative, and entertaining ways that have made them America's Doctors. In these pages, you'll learn everything you need to know about the miracles of fetal development, your health throughout the pregnancy, and providing the best possible environment for your growing child. Pregnancy is a complicated balancing act, but it doesn't have to be frightening. The doctors will help you de-stress as they describe accurately and rationally what happens during a thrilling nine months of life. While every pregnant body is different, odds are you'll experience some of the cravings, crying, and discomfort that almost all women go through. Your best tactic? Learn why these things are happening -- and what you should do about them. YOU: Having a Baby will teach you everything you need to know about what to eat (should I be eating for two?), how much to exercise, and what guilty pleasures will actually make pregnancy easier on you (and the loved ones who get to be around you for the whole thing). Each phase of pregnancy has different challenges, but the right information will prepare you for what's ahead. The interactive week-by-week calendar inside provides an even more detailed guideline for how and what you should feel through every step of the process. Exciting, cutting-edge scientific research in the fi eld of epigenetics has changed the way the medical profession looks at pregnancy, and now it can change your perspective, too. Epigenetics explores what makes us develop in certain ways -- why some people thrive at math while others are prone to chronic diseases. It turns out that there are easy things you can do that will not just help your baby's development in utero but will actually improve his or her chances of living a healthy, fulfi lling adult life. Filled with recipes for nutritious, satisfying snacks and meals even Pop can cook (yes, he can!), safe exercises for staying fit, and tons of YOU tips that will help you stay comfortable, YOU: Having a Baby is the ultimate guidebook for what to do from the moment of conception to the weeks after your child has arrived home. From morning sickness and food cravings to choosing a doctor and changing a diaper, YOU: Having a Baby will give you the real scoop about what's in store for you during this amazing time in your life. ...

Some helpful information- probably shouldn't be your only pregnancy book I'm pregnant for the third time, and most pregnancy books put me to sleep- no offense to any of them, but I have heard so much of the same info over and over. I enjoyed reading this book because it was so different than other pregnancy books. I found the descriptions of some of the biological processes at work to be pretty interesting (although the whole "epigenetics" phenomenon is greatly over-hyped: basically, all you need to do is eat healthy, avoid stress and quit smokin' and drinkin'.) The fact that the doctors are men and write from a male, medical perspective didn't bother me particularly either- I think I've read enough holistic earth-mama pregnancy books that I don't mind hearing a different take on pregnancy. Some of the puns and lame jokes and euphemisms for sex are annoying, but I'm kind of used to those in pregnancy books, and some of the jokes are actually funny. I agree that the pictures are weird but I think that's the style of this whole series. This wouldn't be a bad read to get some additional medical background on what's going on during your pregnancy, but I wouldn't use it as your primary reference book throughout the nine months. Reads better than other books, a lot of same info as elsewhere I received this book as a gift during my current pregnancy. It has been ten years since my previous child. Where this book really shines is that it explains a lot of medical and science information in hip, fun ways. I earned a bachelor's degree in a biological science, so often I feel that books that are meant for the general public on medically related topics are dumbed down or so simplified they miss the point. Roizen and Oz have kept the why's and how's of what is happening in your body, and made a few very complicated ideas comprehensible to the general reader. So why am I giving this book only three stars? To be fair, there are so many books available on pregnancy already it is hard to come up with something full of enough new and original information to get a book up to that five star status for this topic. The other reason is how the book is organized. The authors decided to move away from the pregnancy week-by-week structure used in so many other pregnancy books. The book itself reads very well, if you are just sitting down to read all about pregnancy. I ran into trouble when I went back later looking for specific information that I knew I had read. I tried the index, but wasn't always able to find what I was looking for easily, leaving me to flip through pages until I happened across what I was looking for. The book does include information about common disorders, birthing and prenatal care options, nutrition and recipes, and exercise plans. This book shined in getting me to really understand what was going inside my pregnant body. I am glad I own this book. What I would recommend is get a good classic week by week guide for your reference (often given for free at the OB's office nowadays) AND buy this book to sit down and read and understand what is happening with you and your baby. You Docs are getting more opinionated and less science backed I just moved to a small town for work, and the second I found out I was pregnant I went to Walmart (no bookstore here) and bought every pregnancy book they had- "What to Expect" and this one. I am used to the "You" series and the strange cartoons, so the format wasn't as disappointing to me as it was to some other reviewers. Also, I should mention at this point I'm a medical doctor, so I can appreciate the You docs being up on current research (pushing resveratrol in 'You- Staying Young' and now DHA in 'You- Having a Baby'). However, it seems like half the book is spent trying to convince pregnant women to take DHA. One constant in medicine is that things change, and sometimes today's truth becomes tomorrow's embarrassment, so it seems less wise to me to push new, exciting supplements than to stress the things we've known for years. To that end, the You docs do tell you how to make your own Bendectin for morning sickness. That's why I give the book 2 stars instead of one. My real beef is that for some reason the You Docs veer off course from the book's supposed focus of antenatal and postpartum issues to talk about vaccination of your child. While many pregnant women may have this on their minds, I do not believe this book is an appropriate place for the debate. The section claims to look at all sides (and then gives you the 'You Docs Take,' which is shamefully absent of any evidence). The reader is left wondering whether it wouldn't be better to avoid vaccinations. Much of the population still believes there is a cause and effect relationship between vaccines and autism, despite the discrediting of research that indicated a link. This is not the public's fault; however, I expect that two wealthy doctors who have access to any medical journal in the world could do the research FOR the layperson shelling out bucks for this book and at least paint an accurate picture of the current debate. The truth is, no link between vaccines and autism has been found, the Institute of Medicine has laid it to rest, and children are dying again from diseases which were supposed to be eradicated by vaccines, like whooping cough. Do you want your three month old to die because your neighbor refused to vaccinate her child? Overall, the You Docs are just kind of 'out there' and it's obvious they can do whatever they want because they have a lot of money and notoriety. Dr. Oz tells you that he chose to vaccinate his kids the way they do in Europe, which involves less vaccines spaced farther apart. Good luck convincing your doctor to go along with that! Even though I could vaccinate my child personally in the office, I guess, I won't follow some European vaccination scheme because as soon as my maternity leave is up, I go back to work, and my kid gets to go to a child care center where, you guessed it, they require vaccinations. According to the U.S. schedule. And I'm ok with that. What is does well is condescending, what it doesn't do well is better found elsewhere Having read a large number of books for my 1st pregnancy, I decided to buy this one for the second - in spite of the overall poor reviews. I, like others, was intrigued by the epigenetic discussion and had heard good things about the YOU books in general. I was sorely disappointed. For starters the epigenetic discussion is not only short, but confusing and failed to differentiate between things that were clinically proven to promote epigenetic changes (for instance smoking) from those that are merely the authors hypothesis (i.e., unhealthy eating in general). The end result was the conclusion on the epigenetic section read more like the "What to expect" best odds concept - we-have-no-proof-but-why-don't-we-try-to-make-you-do-these-things-anyway... The strength of this book is that it does go into substantial detail on the changes taking place in your body due to pregnancy. The discussion on hormonal changes, fetal growth etc. are the most detailed I have read in any pregnancy book. Unfortunately, the same descriptions are sprinkled with gratuitous sarcastic comments which are either disturbing to anyone who believes woman have half a brain or someone with an actual sense of humor. In the interest of gathering the information I tried to ignore these BUT...I did put down the Kindle more than once because I could not go one. The weakness of the book is that in addition to the medical detail, it tries to rapidly cover the typical pregnancy book topics - what to buy the for baby, how to prepare, how to chose an OB/GYN etc. These are covered in much less detail than other better books and read like a last minute add on. If you are interested in medical details this book is excellent with the caveat of the annoying comments. If you want a good general pregnancy book, this certainly is not it. For people interested in non condescending detail as well as a high quality general guide, "I'm Pregnant" by Leslie Regan (a DK book) is excellent. Save your money. What a stupid book. It's poorly organized, superficial, condescending, and glib--the humor is totally lame and not even appropriate at times. There's nothing here that you won't find in WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING, and you'll find a LOT more useful and well-organized advice in that book. The authors make a big deal about their discussion of epigenetics, but all it amounts to is the same advice you'll find elsewhere, and in better detail, about eating healthfully during pregnancy. Duh. The section on labor is too short and, like the rest of the book, is illustrated with grotesque, ill-conceived drawings that will only serve to heighten women's fears about pain. Just about every topic is handled too briefly, including such important topics as circumsion, making this book an insult to thinking women who really would like to know in depth what's going on with their babies and their bodies. The authors clearly rushed through this book to beef up their "You" series and horn in on the pregnancy market. Terrible. ... Read more Similar Items: 1.

Great advice for college kids I bought this book for my daughter who is in college. Her first year took a toll on her diet, exercise and previously healthy lifestyle, so I gave this to her to help her improve her overall well-being. The first thing she said after starting the book was, "this book is about me!" She has devoured the book and picked up many great tips on improving things from now on. (Some things I thought I had told her, but mom's word is not often listened to). Therein lies the beauty of this book. It is written by a young women in language and attitude of the young, so it is very easily read and digested by college age kids (young working adults too). It is well laid out and extremely readable. The advice is excellent and there are many sensible (and student relevant) tips that can be easily followed. Knowing that Dr. Mehmet Oz (the author's father) is the medical backing to this book makes it an extremely safe and recommended guide for young people just starting their life away from home.

Just as the dog days of summer begin to wind down and the changing of the seasons begins to take place, enthusiastic young skulls full of mush pack up their belongings, leave mom and dad in the house they grew up in, and move into that bastion of independence known as a dorm room. Anyone who's ever spent time in a college dormitory knows all the unique challenges that await you from oddball roommates, strange smells and noises coming from nearby rooms, and the free entertainment that can happen late at night-it's quite the adventure. And when it comes to trying to be "healthy," you can just about forget about it! They don't call the weight gain that happens to first-year college students the "Freshman 15 for nothing. But Daphne Oz wanted to buck that trend by offering up some advice that helped her take off 10 pounds in her freshman year (she struggled with her weight in high school) which she wrote about in her bestselling book The Dorm Room Diet: The 10-Step Program for Creating a Healthy Lifestyle Plan That Really Works. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a famous cardiologist father known to millions of Americans for his wisdom when it comes to nutritional edicts-Dr. Mehmet Oz. Dr. Oz wrote the foreword to his daughter's book where he applauds the efforts Daphne has made to not just share information with readers but to empower them to make better choices that are right for them. You can tell he's so very proud of the work his daughter is doing because she's basically the spittin' image of her dad. Some would say that's both a blessing and a curse, but I'm willing to check out what Daphne has to share on her own merits without being prejudiced by her family background one way or another. Does she speak nutritional truths in The Dorm Room Diet or is she just trying to ride daddy's coattails? Let's find out. The 10-step program she offers some specific something to "get." STEP 1 promotes getting INSPIRED by the fact that Daphne herself dealt with being overweight so that you can relate with her personally having to come to grips with the reality of this issue for herself despite having one of the most famous diet doctors in the world advising her. STEP 2 encourages the reader to become INFORMED by taking a self-assessment test to determine your "Family Eating Portrait" through a series of 15 probing questions. It's an in-depth test that will show you why you may be struggling now and Daphne offers up ways to get your eating plan back on track again. She even discusses the sensitive subject of eating disorders and emotional eating and how to recognize if you are dealing with this or not-along with simple solutions to help you manage the new stresses that college life is sure to bring. STEP 3 delves into the nitty gritty of the book discussing HEALTHY EATING 101. Here's where the rubber meets the road when it comes to knowing whether or not Daphne understands what good nutrition looks like. Sadly, like father like daughter on this one as less than two pages into this chapter she describes the healthy Atkins low-carb lifestyle change as "Fatkins." She exhibits a lack of basic knowledge about metabolism when she states that "your body requires nutrition from three macronutrient groups-carbohydrates, proteins, and fats." Uh, no it doesn't. The body absolutely needs fat and protein, but there is no dietary NEED for carbohydrate at all. The body is able to make glucose to fuel the body from the protein consumed thanks to a process known as gluconeogenesis (didn't your dad tell you about this amazing biochemistry concept, Daphne?). She goes on to say that if you don't eat carbs (which Atkins is not a "no-carb" diet as she repeatedly describes it), then you can't replenish your glycogen stores and all you lose is "water weight." Hmmmm...so are you telling me that the 180 pounds I shed on the Atkins diet in 2004 was all water weight, Daphne? Surely you jest. Of course, all the usual criticisms of the Atkins low-carb diet are throw in for good measure by the junior Oz, including that it leads to depression, fatigue, mood swings, binge eating, and a constant craving for carbohydrates-yadda, yadda, yadda. We've heard it all before about eating a "balanced" diet, Daphne, and it just doesn't work for some of us. I'm glad it worked for you, but it's not very wise to lampoon the very way of eating that has helped so many of us get our health back in order again. Plus, why single out the Atkins diet for your criticism? Where is the backlash against other dietary approaches that greatly reduce or eliminate whole categories of foods like veganism and vegetarianism? Oh yeah, that's right, you don't want to get daddy in trouble with his buddies who are in high positions supporting these diets. The nutritional advice she shares is primarily high in complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and veggies without regard to their sugar/starch content (she claims that "the sweetest fruits don't come close to the sugar in a candy bar." Uhhhh, have you looked at a banana's nutritional makeup lately Daphne? It's got 30 grams of sugar in it which comes pretty darn close to the 40 grams contained in a 3 Musketeers bar), fat-free and low-fat dairy foods, moderate protein from lean meats like chicken, leaner ground beef, beans, and tofu, and omega fats from fish and flax. Fiber is also emphasized with limited portion sizes heavily promoted for weight management. Daphne's Dorm Room Diet healthy "grab-and-go" food recommendations are quite shocking when you see the list: oatmeal, granola bars, cereals, bagels, crackers, and sugary fruits. Carbs, carbs, and more carbs! It's the "stop-drop-or-roll" list of foods she claims will make you "tired, hungry, and fat if you eat too much of them" that has the much healthier foods on them: full-fat cheeses and high-fat red meats, but she also includes fruit juice, alcoholic beverages, fried foods, brownies, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, pancakes, pies, pretzels, waffles, white bread, white rice, sugary soda, biscuits...yes, this girl has completely lost her mind lumping healthy full-fat cheeses and meats with this carbage! The nutritional lunacy continues with her recommendations to drink coffee (no biggie, although there is concern some people experience an insulin spike from it), consume chocolate (as a "pick-me-up" to stoke your serotonin levels-hey, I thought only a low-carb diet made you depressed and moody?!), and eat bread before a meal. Say what?! Are you kidding me, Daphne? The theory is you'll eat less calories if you consume whole wheat or whole grain bread with olive oil (don't you dare use butter though!). Whatever. No wonder we're so bassackwards nutritionally these days with such nonsense as this being promoted as "healthy" from the kid of a well-known diet guru. She encourages readers to ALWAYS eat breakfast, drink "half your body weight in ounces of water" each day plus one glass prior to each meal, eat every three hours for a total of five "meal" times daily, slowly count to the number of your age if you feel the urge to "cheat" (hey, I thought you were all about not depriving yourself!), and to avoid eating within two hours of bedtime. Incredible! This is what passes for healthy nutrition in the 21st Century. We must be living in The Twilight Zone! STEP 4 tells you to get a GRIP on how to implement these new healthy habits ("complex carbohydrates" are "your friends" while "fatty cheeses" are "your foes") with tips on choosing the right foods when eating at the cafeteria, sit down restaurants and fast food joints. Recommendations to ask for the "low-fat" entrees is also heavily promoted. STEP 5 is on being PREPARED for the "danger zones" that are sure to come, including the pressure to study or finish an important paper, tailgating events, campus parties, watching television, and late-night chatting. The key points Daphne makes is to not allow yourself to be trapped by any of these situations by preparing ahead of time with appropriate action steps so you're not stuck making a poor choice. It's pretty good common sense advice for people who are health-conscious, even if it does focus on lean proteins and veggies. I do applaud her for helping college students break their addiction to sugar and learning to be happy without it in their lives. At the same time, though, she does promote fruit roll-ups, dried fruit and peanut butter which is all still loaded with sugar although I'll grant her that it's still less than the junk food most dorms are filled with. STEP 6 transitions to the subject of MOVING your body-aka exercise. This one goes without saying for the enormous benefits beyond fat loss for college students. Specific exercises are demonstrated with pictures and descriptions to work out every part of your body. STEP 7 is on the subject of VITAMINS and the supplements you should be taking. Kudos to Daphne for understanding the importance of taking vitamins, including a solid multivitamin, antioxidants, minerals, essential fatty acids, and Vitamin D. She includes lists of foods that contain the highest amounts of key vitamins and minerals for your body as well. This chapter also provides some curious home remedies to the most frequent health ailments suffered by college kids, including the common cold, sore throat, nausea and stomachache, PMS and cramps, headache, sore muscles and minor sprains, fatigue, insomnia, urinary tract infections, yeast infections, constipation, and diarrhea. Hmmmm, are you sure it isn't that dastardly Atkins diet causing all this stuff, Daphne? STEP 8 says it's time to get HAPPY to effectively manage the stress that surely hits you when you are under the kind of pressure college puts you through. Regular massage, aromatherapy, and meditation are pushed as ways to deal with it best. STEP 9 shares why being CONSCIOUS about your eating (a new chapter in this revised and updated version of the book) so that you know the impact of your foods choices on the planet and ecosystem. Sure, she's obviously been affected by the local food movement promoted in films like Food, Inc. and books like Fast Food Nation. Her indignation for the factory farms in favor or more traditional farms is something I wholeheartedly agree with her about 100%. If more people cared about buying good quality grass-fed, organic, certified humane, local foods and became strong advocates for it as Daphne suggests, then the world would indeed be a healthier place. And in STEP 10, recipes are shared in the COOKING section of the book-of course, mostly high-carb, low-fat ones to fit within the overall nutritional theme she espouses. The Dorm Room Diet is a total mixed bag for me. I like what she has to say in certain parts of the book that make me want to stand up and cheer while other parts of it are as disappointing as they can possibly be. Perhaps as Daphne Oz continues to educate herself about healthy nutrition and breaks free from what Papa Oz has shared with her over the years, she'll realize the folly in some of the ideals she is promoting as "healthy" for a large segment of the population. While this book has mostly become a bestseller thanks no doubt to the name recognition of her famous father, maybe someday Daphne can use this writing platform to teach the next generation about what the proper relationship between nutrition and health is really all about. Very good book. I like this book very much. It was informative and the plan felt within reach. A lot of times with diet book you're required to give up your whole life to the whole diet in order for it to work. This book's approach was very live-able. I had this book when I lived in the college dorms, it was great. I lost about 15 lbs for the whole school year. Not that much, I know. But it's a lot to me, especially since I've had a history of gaining 10 pounds every year. I blame the stress of finals week and succumbing to bad habits for me not losing more weight. But it is a very well done book. On a side note: I just borrowed her dad's You: Being Beautiful book. I am surprised how immature her dad's writing is compared to hers. It's really crazy how much difference there is between the two, one is concise and informative, the other style is bloated with fluff. Great job, Daphne Oz. Girl is trying to make money off daddy Just because your dad is a big shot at Columbia and published a book doesn't mean you can write Great!!! This book taught me it's ok to indulge sometimes - as long as it doesn't become a habit! It's perfect for my lifestyle, because I can enjoy foods my friends are, yet still be healthy! Great for the health-conscious college kid!!! ... Read more Similar Items: 1. The Dorm Room Diet Planner 2. Dorm Room Diet Workout 3.

Most of us believe that at age 40 or so, we begin the slow and steady decline of our minds and bodies. According to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz, that's a mistake. Aging isn't a decline in our systems. It's actually very purposeful. The very systems and biological processes that age us are designed to help us when we're a little bit younger. Our role is to learn how those systems function so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger. Your goal should be: die young at any age. That means you live a high quality of life (with everything from working joints to working genitals) until the day you die. At the core of YOU: Staying Young are the Major Agers -- 14 biological processes that control your rate of aging. Doctors Roizen and Oz explain the principles of longevity and many of the causes of aging and how to fight their effects. Also included in a printable PDF file is a 14-day plan to help you integrate important processes into your daily life in order to make staying young routine. YOU: Staying Young is filled with signature YOU Tools, including YOU tips and memorable metaphors to bring the science alive and help you understand the most fascinating machine ever created: the human body. Amazon.com Review The body is the most fascinating machine ever created, and nobody talks about it in ways that are as illuminating and compelling as Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Most people think of the aging of our bodies the same way we think of the aging of our cars: the older we get, the more inevitable it is that we're going to break down. Most of us believe that at age 40 or so, we begin the slow and steady decline of our minds, our eyes, our ears, our joints, our arteries, our libido, and every other system that affects the quality of life (and how long we live it). But according to Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz, that's a mistake. Aging isn't a decline in our systems. It's actually very purposeful. The very systems and biological processes that age us are designed to help us when we're a little bit younger. So what's our role as part of the aging population? To learn how those systems work so we can reprogram them to work the way they did when we were younger. Your goal should be: die young at any age. That means you live a high quality of life (with everything from working joints to working genitals) until the day you die. At the core of this landmark book are the Major Agers--14 biological processes that control your rate of aging. Some you've heard of, some you haven't, and some you never knew contributed to the aging process. Some speed decline, others inhibit your repair mechanisms. These Major Agers are everything from short telomeres and inefficient mitochondria to stem cells and wacky hormones. The doctors explain the principles of longevity and many of the causes of aging and how to fight the effects. The climax of the book is a 14-day plan to help you along your path to staying young. The doctors want you to be able to integrate important processes into your daily life in order to make staying young routine, but first you'll need to measure your real age and health right now. Staying young encompasses your emotions and mental health as well as your exercise habits, eating habits, personal hygiene, and genes, among other things. Wouldn't you like to know how to prevent your body from aging badly? The original YOU book showed how bodies work in general, and YOU: On a Diet explained how bodies lose weight and stay fit. Now in YOU: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz illuminate the mysterious mechanisms with a lively metaphor -- the modern city. What differentiates a vibrant and thriving city that ages gracefully from one that is worn down and rusted out? Despite genetic differences, which are like the geography upon which the city is built, cities age differently because of the way residents treat their education system (stem cells), power plants (mitochondria), electrical grids (brains), transportation routes (blood vessels), and landfills (fat). You -- as mayor, resident, and street cleaner -- have the power to balance your biological budget to ensure a life that's both long and strong. Thankfully, just as cities can invest in renewal and improving their repair processes, so can you. YOU: Staying Young is filled with signature YOU Tools, including YOU Tests, YOU Tips, and visual and verbal metaphors to bring the science to life. A Letter from Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz Dear Amazon Shoppers: Our books, YOU: The Owner’s Manual and YOU: On a Diet, have become #1 Amazon and New York Times bestsellers, and we thank you. Many people have asked us questions about aging. We want you to know that the science in the last very few years has challenged the very perceptions of aging. Most of us tend to have the same view of the way people age: As we grow older, we start losing things. We lose some hair, lose our minds, lose our balance, lose our eyesight, lose a little of this and a lot of that until we eventually wither away into a hunched-over senior who takes 3-inch steps and eats dinner at 4:00 pm. But to think that a life of frailty is an inevitable outcome of aging is a mistake. And the fact that we don't take control of it is because we have excuses. We live in a society where making excuses is as easy as making a sandwich. Nowhere is that more apparent than when it comes to your own health. The reason why we are frazzled with stress? Blame the boss. The reason why we are sick? Blame the sniffling kids. The reason why our society’s waistbands are stretching and snapping at alarming rates? Blame Auntie's alfredo sauce. The top health excuse, however, revolves around the biggest four-letter word of them all, the GENE. We blame our genes for just about everything--for baldness, for fatness, for illness and for every other health-related problem we can think of. In our minds, that means that our mom, pop, and the rest of the family tree are all on the hook for the ultimate health question of them all--how long and how well we will live? But that is exactly where more of us have it wrong. While we are certainly born with genes that help determine everything from our height to our risk of heart disease, we are making a monumental mistake by assuming that we can’t control our genes--especially when it comes to aging. Perhaps the best way to explain the dynamics of aging is to take a look at another complex system that is subjected to the same forces as your body: a city. Some cities remain beautiful and elegant in their old age, while younger ones may look worn down and beat-up. Now, every city has its own genetic code, just as you do. For a city, genes are geography; whether it's built on a river or whether it's located in a hot or cold climate, or whether it lies directly in a prevalent hurricane path. A city's geography can't change. But the city can adapt to the environment with earthquake-proof construction, with underground tunnels for walking in wintertime, or with strong levies. The adaptation the city makes to survive and to thrive is what is crucial to its vitality. The same goes for you. Just because you have been dealt a genetic hand that predisposes you to heart disease or diabetes or the wearing of pants as large as a parachute doesn't mean you can't mitigate the effects of those genes. One of the major things we will teach you is that while you can't change your genes, you can change whether they are turned on or off or how you express them. Just like a city, you can compensate elegantly if you understand your options. For the first time in history, the medical world has uncovered many of the miraculous biologic processes that control how and why we age. Truth is, much of aging is actually in our control; with the power to nudge our biologic systems so that our unwanted genes can work in our favor--as long as you know what to do and how you are doing it. In YOU: Staying Young, we translate the latest science (much of which wasn't available even three years ago) to help slow your rate of aging. You will learn 14 Major Agers, and dozens of action steps so that you can take control of those agers and your aging processes. We hope you enjoy the cartoons, analogies, and jokes. But ultimately we hope you soak in the message: Your health is largely in your control. We dedicate the book to all who desire longer life so they can serve more.

A: To understand that you get to control your rate of aging if you want to. It isn't that hard and doesn't take that long. In fact, even if you have had burgers for breakfast or fried your brain cells with stress by noon, you're not necessarily destined to wear husky pants, forget birthdays, and spiral into a state of complete upheaval. That's right: You get a do-over in life if you want it. Repeat after us: not hard, not long. Q: Is there one food, vitamin, mineral, exercise, or lifestyle change that does more to combat aging than any other? A: Our top choices in terms of ease and impact: Walk 30 minutes a day and call someone after you do it. No excuses, walk every day. If you do it, you'll have the courage, health, and attitude to adopt other changes too. Take 2 grams of omega-3 fats every day in form of either walnuts, fish oil, or DHA supplements. Q: What is one of the most surprising contributors to aging that we can easily remove from our lifestyles? A: Inflammation of our teeth. Remove it with daily flossing and brushing and seeing a dental professional regularly. You won't just save your teeth; you'll also go a long way in saving your heart and arteries. Another? Our lack of turmeric--curry and mustard (mustard on stadium hot dogs does not qualify). Both of those ingredients make your memory better. Q: What are some of the immediate benefits you will notice from following the tips in the book? A: You will feel younger. You might get hit upon by strangers or be mistaken for someone 20 years younger. In addition to the waist size you'll lose, your new attitude and vitality for life may give your reading choice away. Q: How early should most people start to focus on slowing the aging process? A: The aging process starts in your teens or even before, but any time you start is better than later. (Repeat: not hard, not long.) Your cells basically have a memory of three years. So by changing your habits now, within three years, it's as if you have done your healthy habit all your life.

Oz and Roisen explain many of the underlying causes of common ailments and diseases and more important how to alleviate them through easily doable lifestyle habits of diet and exercise. This one is well worth the purchase. Authors present their ideas clearly and humorously Drs. Roizen and Oz review the systems of our aging bodies. Better yet, they provide some "signature" YOU tips to stay young at any age. Quality of life requires a degree of effort. I cannot think of anything more important than keeping my independence. This particular CD flows easily. The authors present their ideas clearly and humorously. This combination works. Mostly Good, Just Don't Take the Tests For the most part this is a well written book packed with useful information. I just wish that someone had reviewed the mental acuity tests included. They're chock full of ridiculous errors. I mean, didn't anyone on the editing team even look closely at these pathetic mind games? Other than that oversight, I fully enjoyed the book and its relevant content. A Gift This was a gift to a friend, and his wife, who was wanting to do all he could to add to his success in living a long life. They both have numerous medical conditions. He is still reading it and commented that he intended to re read it. He is very proactive in searching for ways to take better care of himself. His wife, however, in the past has given up and doesn't try anymore, much to his dismay. Since receiving this book as a Christmas gift, his wife now says she is waiting for him to finish it, so she can begin reading it. He is hopeful that it will cause her to rethink her present outlook on her health. She has given up on trying to get any better, when she could turn things around. It was a gift in hopes of prompting her to take better care of herself. He says he is learning a great deal from the book and is putting into practice the suggestions put forward in the book. I think I need to order a copy for myself. ... Read more Similar Items: 1. YOU: Being Beautiful: The Owner's Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty 2.

Us Transforming Ourselves Wow! this book is fun to read and inspiring to see that we can make adjustments in our own relations. Entertaining and practicle It has lots of parenting and relationship stories to chuckle about and identify with... I do like the way Lisa gets you to see that change is possible with guidance and understanding that all things are possible. A great book to read together. Heartfelt & Serious book This is an easy to read guide that is not condescending or too full of psycho-babble. This is really just a simple guide to try to improve the person you are, and hence the relationships that revolve around you. It touches on the cores of self-respect, change, sex and family. I found it full of practical exercises that aren't difficult to implement. Most people would probably benefit from this if the enacted even a third of what is offered here. Best of 2010? This might be my favorite book of 2010 so far. Lots of stuff was clicking for me. I listened to the audio book - Lisa narrates it. Good voice for reading. This book definitely made me think about what I truly value in life and how I treat those around me. I picked up countless tips that I've already applied to my daily life. Wisdom and Humor It was pure pleasure to read "US," Lisa Oz's book on relationships. The prose is sharp, funny and assessible. Imagine sitting down in your kitchen with a very wise friend and having her answer all your questions about life, love, sex, happiness and relationships. In her answers she will stimulate you, challenge you and definitely make you rethink your priorities and pasttimes. This is quintesentially a spiritual book. God floats throughout the pages. Oz gets her life priorities straight from the very beginning. Her inspiration is Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish scientist, mystic and quirky philosopher who lived not too long after Shakespeare died. Know this going in and you will be alert to appreciating the insightful ideas Oz quotes as well as some more confusing, even baffling ideas that you can just leave on the page. None of these ideas, however, will make you run sceaming from the room, your fingers held up in a cross. I've seldom read a book with such a light touch even when it's going to a great depth. Here's Oz giving us a cure for unhappiness in three sentences: "We all play a role in our conflicts. At some point we need to take responsibility for that. Once we do, we give ourselves the power to break the pattern." She intersperses these plain and pithy observations with her own personal failings -- and we love her the more for it. A very worthwhile read. "God is. We are always becoming." I admit it - my first thought upon seeing that Lisa Oz had written a book was that she was attempting to capitalize upon her husband's celebrity. Her husband, of course, being Dr. Oz - the whirlwind physician first made famous by Oprah. I probably even rolled my eyes (bad habit) as I turned away. But then I started hearing positive comments. Stories that suggested this WASN'T one of those "he's-famous-now-look-at-me" books. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to take a look for myself. I'm glad I did. Lisa Oz has created a self-help book that actually makes sense. She's very honest in saying that, while the book is full of things she tries to live by, she also fails. Frequently. She speaks of God often, but also does not hesitate to say that she believes that God is something different for everyone - that "he...uses varied language and a different voice..." in order to reach different people. In fact, she herself is a believer in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. So while I was initially hesitant that much of the book is tied up in a relationship with God, I also understood her point that God is many things to many people - and if picturing a "swirling universe" works better for some, then so be it. The main goal behind this book is to help people better themselves, and by extension, their relationships. Relationships with themselves, with their significant others, with their communities, their earth and with their God. There are no simple answers presented in this book - rather, there are ways to learn new thinking and new behaviors. There are exercises that can be completed (or not) as you please. But most of all, there is just a voice of common sense and reason - something that has, sadly, become endangered in today's world. I finished reading the book. Now, I am working on reading through it again - not in order, but in places where I feel the need to pay more attention. I'm not a huge fan of self-help books, because I tend to feel that few of them are worth more than a token glance. They are designed for a very small, specific audience. This is one of the few that has the potential to be helpful to EVERYONE who takes the time to read it. I urge you to give this book a shot - it might surprise you just as much as it did me. ...

8. You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management by Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen List Price: $25.00 Category: Hardcover (2006-10-31) Publisher: Free Press ISBN: 0743292545 Sales Rank: 35916 Lowest New Price: $2.81 Lowest Used Price: $0.01 (1473 Used Items) Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan Product Description For the first time in our history, scientists are uncovering astounding medical evidence about dieting -- and why so many of us struggle with our weight and the size of our waists. Now researchers are unraveling biological secrets about such things as why you crave chocolate or gorge at buffets or store so much fat. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, America's most trusted doctor team and authors of the bestselling YOU series, are now translating this cutting-edge information to help you shave inches off your waist. They're going to do it by giving you the best weapon against fat: knowledge. By understanding how your body's fat-storing and fat-burning systems work, you're going to learn how to crack the code on true and lifelong waist management. Roizen and Oz will invigorate you with equal parts information, motivation, and change-your-life action to show you how your brain, stomach, hormones, muscles, heart, genetics, and stress levels all interact biologically to determine if your body is the size of a baseball bat or of a baseball stadium. In , Roizen and Oz will redefine what a healthy figure is, then take you through an under-the skin tour of the organs that influence your body's size and its health. You'll even be convinced that the key number to fixate on is not your weight, but your waist size, which best indicates the medical risks of storing too much fat. Because the world has almost as many diet plans as it has e-mail spammers, you'd think that just about all of us would know everything there is to know about dieting, about fat, and about the reasons why our bellies have grown so large. YOU: On a Diet is much more than a diet plan or a series of instructions and guidelines or a faddish berries-only eating plan. It's a complete manual for waist management. It will show you how to achieve and maintain an ideal and healthy body size by providing a lexicon according to which any weight-loss system can be explained. YOU: On a Diet will serve as the operating system that facilitates future evolution in our dieting software. After you learn about the biology of your body and the biology and psychology of fat, you'll be given the YOU Diet and YOU Workout. Both are easy to learn, follow, and maintain. Following a two-week rebooting program will help you lose up to two inches from your waist right from the start. With Roizen and Oz's signature accessibility, wit, and humor, YOU: On a Diet -- The Owner's Manual for Waist Management will revolutionize the way you think about yourself and the food you consume, so that you'll diet smart, not hard.

Welcome to your body on a diet. Amazon.com Exclusive "Fat Chances: The Secret Story of What's in Your Belly" by Michael F. Roizen, MD, and Mehmet C. Oz, MD Whether you're carrying a few extra pounds of fat on your thighs or a suitcase's worth in your belly, it's hard not to think about fat. You feel it when you walk, you roll on it when you sleep, and you curse it when you try to slide into last year's jeans. But while most of us are intimately familiar with how fat looks on the outside, we're not quite as familiar with how it works on the inside. As we explain in YOU: On a Diet, we believe that to change your body, you need to know your body. In the simplest form, everyone knows the formula for gaining weight. Daily buckets of ranch dip plus photo-album-sized hunks of cheesecake plus a life of couch-dwelling equals a very unfortunate conclusion: too-frequent popped buttons. But many of us really don't know how fat works and how it works against us. Here's the inside story on the story of your insides.

I even have my husband eating them... he's a non-veggie eater...I also like that the emphasis is put on your waist size & not your weight size... the only thing they don't mention in the recipes are your choice of liquid drink... of course water is always good, but I'd keep them low cal & lay off the sodas... all in all... I'm quite satisfied with the menus & recommended exercises in this book. Great Book Rented at library and really wanted to buy it. checked amazon and couldn't resist the price. it was listed in like new condition and it was! very happy with book and service. diet book Bought this book for my husband, he has been reading it on his own. No need for nagging, he likes Dr. Oz this might just do it. rambles This rambles on and it makes it difficult to read. There may be good information but it is difficult to focus and find it. not a manual, but a great book I love this book. I am not much of a reader. But i found it easy to read this book. and it talks beyond the regular "what to eat" and waht not to eat" kind of book. It goes in the "whys", why to eat something. I follow the simple takeaways and can already see the impact. for e.g. i eat handful of nuts before my meal and i dont feel hungry anymore. It is very importmant to understadn how different chemicals impact your hunger levels, and food help control them. Again this book is not a manual with a list of foods and their calorie values. Its more of understanding the inside of you body and brain as it pertains to loosing weight. I love it. ... Read more Similar Items: 1.

9. YOU: Being Beautiful: The Owner's Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty by Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz List Price: Price: You Save: US$26.99 US$17.81 US$9.18 (34%) Category: Hardcover (2008-11-11) Publisher: Free Press ISBN: 1416572341 Sales Rank: 29274 Lowest New Price: $4.00 Lowest Used Price: $0.37 (144 Used Items) Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan Product Description Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for. There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is purposeful, because it's how humans have historically communicated who we are to potential mates. Beauty, in fact, is really about your health and happiness. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes about the way we view ourselves -- and how we define beauty. In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your humanity. The doctors take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at the three levels of beauty and explain how they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those three levels of beauty are: Looking Beautiful: Your appearance influences your self-esteem and has major health implications. Here, the docs will tell you how you can look the way you want. Feeling Beautiful: So what if you have luscious lips or gorgeous locks if your joints creak and you have the energy of a rug? The docs will tell you how to improve your energy levels, beat back your life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some of life's toughest stresses. Being Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your loved ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your way to finding true happiness. That's the ultimate goal: Having all three levels of beauty working together so you can have a happy and healthy life. You'll start off by taking the ultra-revealing and validated YOU-Q Test to help you assess where you are on your own beauty scale and where you want to be. Take the test, see how well you do; then use the book to help you improve your score. With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. You will learn about the biology of beauty, take YOU Tests to determine where you are on the beauty scale, get tons of YOU Tips to help you improve your life, as well as learn the secrets of the Ultimate Beautiful Day. From hair to toenails, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz go through every part of your body to explain how different foods, vitamins, creams, gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They scrutinize the beauty myths that bombard us every day and offer an unbiased perspective on which ones cause more harm than good. You will be able to revamp your beauty regimen (or start a new one from scratch). They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty. Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz act as tour guides navigating the tricky but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry. YOU: Being Beautiful is your all-inclusive ticket into the world -- the real world -- of beauty. ... Read more Features: ISBN13: 9781416572343 Condition: NEW Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. Customer Reviews Average Customer Review: Based on 43 reviews. Not as good as I hoped The beginning of the book was great. The questions to help you asses where you stand in terms of your ideal beauty were great. After that the book went downhill fast. All of the information was very general. I was hoping for specific information on how to improve my hair, skin, and body shape. Or maybe tutorials or product suggestions. Unless you need to learn what vitamins are good for you, how to wash your hair, and how to cut your toenails, I would skip this book. Difficult audiobook for continual listening but full of good professional advice The only way I can listen to this book is one half a CD at a time, randomly and not in order. That's because I got no sense of where the authors were going in general despite the catchy title. In all this I think it's a 4-star only because the two doctors provide a wealth of information, however scattered, that can help us all to live the healthy life. In my opinion there's yet a need for more (and hopefully better) books on health based on medical research. While several have been produced recently, much more is required. This genre can help us counter the unhealthy messages we receive from the advertising industry and from the culture at large. Many useful tidbits of information were included in this book to make it worth the price. That's a fact. Getting there requires perhaps some effort on the part of the listener (I have the audiobook), but maybe it's unrealistic to expect a fun book about what the medical research has to say concerining healthy living. At times the research is hard to follow. For example, at times the doctors cite eight or more vitamins and minerals that are useful for a particular body function or part. After awhile, to be quite direct, I got the impression that all vitamins and minerals meant for a human diet are just incredibly important. There comes a time when you have put so many members in a set that no member seems that important anymore. Of all the things in this book that impressed me and made me think this is better than a 3-star book, it was the doctors' lecture on the medical importance of spirituality. I didn't expect this and didn't want it, initially. Yet what they had to stay was very important and it took courage for them to cite the research they did and deliver their findings. They feel spirituality is extremely important for health. I recommend this book but only if you understand it's not really entertaining and it feels rambling. You have to use it in a way that works for you. The information is valuable. You, Being Beautiful This is a well written book that covers all aspects of diet, health, and beauty. I originally checked it out from the library. It was so good, and had so much information that I decided that I had to have it for my own. I am well pleased with this book. I am still reading it and use it as a reference book. Great information Learned a lot from reading this book. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in health. borrow from library before you waste your money I've always liked Dr. Oz but was pretty disappointed. The only thing I enjoyed about the book was his philosophy on beauty (wich you can just read on the back cover). That being beutiful is totally within your own control and to stop blaming your appearance on other things or people. But with that being said, don't expect any delicious beauty tools or advice. You can tell he loves science because that is mostly what the book is about. Instead of giving some good advice on acne he spends several pages/illustrations on how your skin works, why you hair gets fuzzy, how depression affects your appearance, etc etc. When he does get around to trying to give us women some tips they are disappointing.The book is filled (and I mean brimming) with "duhs" like, "You should always brush out your hair before you get in the shower to wash it," and "Getting your rest is an important part of looking good," or, "It's important to wash your face every morning and night." Isn't that your mother's job to teach you that in 6th grade? The illustrations are bad too. They're actually pretty wierd. Overall this book was totally unappealing to me.
