Awesome truth!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Diet Alternative (Paperback)
I found this book to be incredible and do~able. It put the reality of the problem in perspective and addresses the 'heart matter' versus the 'diet solution'.The nice thing is....because it is NOT A DIET....you CAN'T FAIL! If you have been struggling with weight and you truly want to be set free from ever having to deal with the diet issue ever again.. buy it, read it, do it and buy a few for friends. I believe this was God inspired truth and it is much easier reading and quicker than the Weigh Down Workshop. It just gets right to the point and cuts right to the marrow. It will also increase the quality of your relationship with God because an incredible trust begins to grow and faith is being exercise on to victory. God meets us right we are if we are just willing. Praise God....it is not just me....and I can be set free!

Update,
By Sarah Price "Mrs. Fit" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diet Alternative (Paperback)
I just wanted to give an update on my progress. I cannot, with good conscience, support Diane's program any longer. I am currently weight training, doing cardio, and eating healthy. Eating healthy is not eating whatever you want. In 12 weeks, I brought my risk factor for heart disease down from 5.9:1 (which is horrible) to around 3 (which is nonexistent risk). I did it with exercise and eating right. I also lost two sizes with just a 12 pound scale loss because I was gaining muscle, too. To be healthy, you have to work at it! Sure, you can lose weight eating whatever you want if you eat less - at least up to a point. But who wants to be a skinny fat woman or a skinny fat man? Wouldn't you rather be healthy and have a fabulous physique? Try Body for Life by Bill Phillips. Also check out the www.bodybuilding.com website for inspiration, education, and good products.

Good book, but with some reservations.,

This review is from: Diet Alternative (Paperback)
This book details a concise, prayer-focused, hunger-and-fullness approach to weight loss. That part is great. The part I have reservations about is choosing to fast one meal a day.The approach will work. After all, less food ingested = weight loss. It worked for me for over 3 months. But due to only eating two meals a day, I found that the tendency toward binging was still there, even with the praying over my food. The two meals a day weren't cutting it for me and I started feeling more hungry all the time. If you have children, I think this "skipping meal" approach could possibly be dangerous examples to them of proper eating habits. Because of this, I feel that the "fasting" suggested should definitely be more individually applied. Some people will do well with only eating two meals (or less) a day; others won't. I think that the fasting is a good idea, but one person's fast will be different from another's. For some, fasting from eating between meals is the best approach. For others, fasting from eating late at night would be better, etc. I found it interesting to note that in this edition (2002), Ms. Hampton started recommending things that seemed to go along with the usual points made in any other diet book (get exercise, drink more water, etc.). The original edition (1984?)did not emphasize this at all. When I originally reviewed the book, I gave it 5 stars and a glowing review. Over time, I have reconsidered my position and have edited my review. Yes, I think that prayer and hunger and fullness approaches to eating are important. But I don't think that a general recommendation of fasting one meal a day is necessarily going to work (or be healthy) for everyone.
