Book Description
Dr. Travis Stork, cohost of The Doctors, cares about the state of your abdomen. Why? Because when he’s not on TV, he works in the E.R. at Vanderbilt Medical Center. And his years of training and experience have told him that the one of the very first vital signs to check—one of the most important determining factors in whether a patient will recover from illness and injury, or face a future of disease, pain, and disability—is how much belly fat they’re carrying. In fact, visceral fat—the kind that clings to your waistline and infiltrates your internal organs—is not only unsightly, it also sets you up for a host of health woes, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
So fighting belly fat is the same thing as fighting for your life!
But now, Dr. Travis, America’s top urgent-care doctor, has written the ultimate prescription for curing dangerous belly fat. His revolutionary PICK 3 TO LEAN plan lets you customize your diet and lifestyle to start melting away belly fat, without giving up your favorite foods, without spending hours in the gym, without really sacrificing anything—except belly fat! If you love snacking, if you love desserts, if you love burgers and steaks, if you love big, hearty breakfasts, there’s a plan in here for you. With tiny tweaks to the foods you already love and enjoy, you’ll begin to see the pounds disappear in just days!
Plus, Dr. Travis explains the magic of N.E.A.T.: non-exercise activity thermogenesis, a fancy way of saying “burn more calories without exercising!” You pick the lifestyle you’re most comfortable with. You decide which foods you want to eat. You choose what fun activities you want to enjoy. With The Lean Belly Prescription, you will have a plan custom-designed by you—with the help of Dr. Travis—that’s scientifically proven to strip away up to 15 pounds in just 4 weeks.
With The Lean Belly Prescription, you’ll find yourself eating more the foods you love, spending more time doing the things you love, and having more fun with the people you love. Dr. Travis will teach you how to do that because the The Lean Belly Prescription is a whole-life plan, taking in variables other diets don’t consider, and offering weight-loss opportunities you didn’t know you had. The result: a prescription plan you’ll love, and stay on for the rest of your life because of how it makes you feel.

good easy read,

This review is from: The Lean Belly Prescription: The fast and foolproof diet and weight-loss plan from America's top urgent-care doctor (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book. I would give it 5 stars for the common sense it teaches, but it's so moderate that I have not learned anything new, really, being familiar to healthy eating anyway.I do think that this book should serve as a reference and master book for a mandatory class on nutrition for teenagers, hell, for that matter, for anyone who thinks their diet is out of whack somehow. So I took it as a reminder of proper nutrition. i enjoyed the way the book is written also. It's light and easy to "get the idea". If all north americans would would follow this doctor's prescription on food intake and way of living, our hospitals would be, hopefully, half empty.

This review is from: The Lean Belly Prescription: The fast and foolproof diet and weight-loss plan from America's top urgent-care doctor (Hardcover)
The text can be quite inspirational but the authors have been careful to cover themselves in their attention-getting claims. One such example is the disclaimer (small print) in the advertising that the results claimed by the various 'references' are exceptional and not typical. The 'weasel clauses' throughout contain the statement: "You could lose:..." Of course we could lose, we could also lose only a gram a year or we could gain...Granted, weight control has very many variables and no two people are likely to respond exactly the same. However, typical results would be much more valuable to us, in formulating a diet and exercising plan. Many of the suggested meal plans are for two people. Fine so far, for a two-person family. However, Stork goes on to suggest using the leftovers for preparing the meal for the next day, FOR ONE PERSON. How is the other supposed to eat? Could (skipping a meal everyday) that be the secret to the diet? As is often the case, these authors too carefully shield themselves from the public so that they won't have to answer direct questions or further clarify their statements. So, is this plan any good? Nearly all diets work if you stay with the program. However, unless one is able to develop a healthy eating philosophy which can be comfortably followed for the rest of their lives, most ideas are doomed to failure. If it were a simple easy-to-practice secret, there would be no need for all the diet programs, especially those which make fortunes year after year from 'return' customers who have 'failed' and have returned for more of the same. To succeed, you must not be hungry nor have a craving for 'unhealthy' foods or such large quantities. Until we find a successful means of accomplishing this feat, most weight-loss diets will have little or no success 'over the long term.' There is a lot of good advice in the book but it's claims are a little over the top at times. It would be beneficial if the authors would substantiate their references to 'studies' so that we could follow up to see how well these studies were performed. Vague claims are not very useful. Inspiring? Yes. Fun to read? Yes. Useful? Somewhat. Are the suggestions and meal plans easy to follow? Variable and maybe even impossible at times. Much more explanation required. Will you lose lots of weight and keep it off? Questionable. Do I recommend this book? Well...maybe. Ignore the hype and extract the useful information. Never think of a diet as being over and maybe you will succeed also.
