Dr. Andrew Weil’s Guide to Eating Well

March 2nd, 2008


Dr. Andrew Weil’s Guide to Eating Well
“One of holistic medicine’s most authoritative voices” — Publishers Weekly

Good carbs, bad carbs? Low fat, no fat? Is protein the solution or the problem? After so much conflicting diet advice, one of America’s best-known and most respected doctors offers a sensible approach that emphasizes enjoyment over deprivation and long-term health benefits over short-term weight loss. Dr. Weil assures us there is no confusion among nutritional experts about the optimal diet for health and longevity. And it’s the very same diet that will naturally keep you at a healthy weight. Understanding inflammation to be the root cause of many chronic illnesses, he provides science-based recommendations to help combat specific health concerns, all as part of what he calls the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. He also addresses the subject of dietary supplements, what’s downright dangerous and what can help.

Inside the DVD, you’ll find a printed pocket guide that encapsulates much of Dr. Weil’s advice, including energy-boosting eating tips and a shopping cart guide to the healthiest foods.

DVD FEATURES INCLUDE bonus footage not seen on the PBS broadcast, the Eating Well Pocket Guide, and a bio of Dr. Weil.

Andrew Weil M.D., is a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. Dr. Weil combines a Harvard education with a lifetime of practicing natural and preventive medicine to provide a unique approach to health care that encompasses body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Weil is the founder and director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. His national bestselling books include Spontaneous Healing, The Healthy Kitchen, and Healthy Aging.

Customer Review: Tastes great!
I purchased one bag of the Vanilla on Amazon. I love the taste and consistancy-nice and smooth. I mix it in the morning in a blender with orange juice, banana and frozen strawberries. I love smoothies so this is a quick way to make them and it’s healthy. I try different things with it like skim milk and bananas, skim milk, a half teaspoon of cocao, and a few drops of vanilla extract and ice cubes to make a great chocolate shake. I love it. I neither noticed a weight gain nor weight loss, just gets me through the day without the hunger pangs. Off to class-in a hurry-can’t eat-this is great.
Customer Review: Good stuff
The product tastes good and mixes good and I know is beneficial. It doesn’t show anywhere on the package it has the Omegas, but in a phone call to the company they told me it is natural in the rice bran. The supply lasts 21 days, it would be better if it was a month supply.

GTC Formula
GTC stands for Genetatropic Concept - the idea that ones genetic makeup or inheritance might influence nutritional requirements.

Yoga For Your Eyes

March 2nd, 2008


Yoga For Your Eyes
Customer Review: Well-done, inspiring
I rented this through Netflix, so had no access to any additional materials that might have been included with it (eye chart, for example).

The only suggestion for improvement I would make is: have a separate workout on the DVD. While Mr. Schneider does go into how long to do each individual exercise when teaching, it would be nice to have a complete, real-time run through on the DVD.

The exercises/warm-up he has you go through before you do any of the eye exercises could also be used as a gentle, yet energizing warm up for other physical exercise–a welcome and unexpected bonus.

Customer Review: yoga for eyes and minds
This is a very good set of book and dvd with easy to follow instructions. You learn a lot about eyes, body and mind cooperation. It makes you to respect the best organs of your senses.THE EYES!

Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat what you want, when you want–and watch the pounds disappear!

Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight-and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren’t interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you’re the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe-and lose the pounds you want–because, unlike every other customer, you’ll know the smart choices to make-instantly!

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn’t want you to know. For example:
Burger King doesn’t want you to know that a BK Big Fish. Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories-nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.)
Pizza Hut doesn’t want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You’d need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.)
Macaroni Grill doesn’t want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You’ll find them inside.)

If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants-or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids’ Halloween buckets-and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know:
At McDonald’s, an Egg McMuffin. is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!)
At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you’ll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you’ll drop more than 7 pounds this year-without trying!)
At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!)
Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat!
In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson’s has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms.
In the produce aisle, you’ll get twice the vitamin C-and nine times as much vitamin A-simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)

And that’s why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It’s time to level the playing field. We’re all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now-for the first time-you’re in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods–along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss–you’ll make the smartest choice every time!
List Price: $19.95
Amazon Price: $10.97
Used Price: $9.95
Customer Review: A+ for those who eat out or buy frozen and canned food
Easy to read, simple explanations and big, colorfull pics of the foods you should eat and NOT eat in restaurants and when buying in the grocery store. Excellent concept! Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Read before your next meal!
I first heard about David Zinczenko’s book on ‘Ellen.’ His presentation on deceitful meals intrigued me to buy his book. I was truly SHOCKED to discover that many of the foods I ate that I thought were good for me, such as a turkey burger, where actually unhealthy! The presentation of the material in his book is very user-friendly. It doesn’t have a scolding tone and it’s not based on fads like diet books. I bring ‘Eat This, Not That’ everywhere I go. The information I learned from it has helped me to make healthier food choices at restaurants and the grocery store.
