Weight Loss Success - Without Dieting: True Stories About Losing Weight With the World's Healthiest Foods [Hardcover]

George's latest book<Weight Loss Success without Dieting, is inspired by letters he received from many visitors to his .org website, the World's Healthiest Foods (whfoods.org). These are real people, hundreds of them, who discovered an unexpected side-effect of eating healthy -- losing weight, lots of it, with no hunger, no boredom, no feelings of deprivation. And they did this eating real food, lots of real food -- not the prepackaged, chemicalized, miniscule portions of food you get from the diet plans that offer to help you lose weight by restricting your every calorie and delivering your meals in little, but expensive, microwavable boxes. George's dietary plan is one that you can live, really live with --for the rest of your life. And not only will it make you lean, but vibrantly healthy.
Once you understand why -- which George explains in much science-backed but easy to understand detail in Weight Loss Success -- it makes total sense. The basic concept is "nutrient-density". Nutrient-dense foods are those that deliver the richest concentration of the nutrients we need for a robust metabolism for the least amount of calories. If the foods you eat are nutrient-dense, you can enjoy plenty of them and will still effortlessly lose excess weight (and feel and look terrific). The only potential roadblocks here are figuring out which are the most nutrient-dense foods and finding ways to prepare them that make you actually want to eat them because they taste really good. Oh, and you also want to be able to do this in a really short amount of time -- comparable to waiting for that stuff in the box to heat up in the microwave.
Happily for us, George has done all this work in Weight Loss Success. He's shared with us the letters of weight loss success he has received from real people to inspire us (and believe me, they will! if these folks can do it, so can the rest of us!), he's explained why a nutrient-dense way of eating makes unwanted fat vanish while maintaining muscle and energy and promoting overall health, and he's laid out an entire month of great recipes -- these are very quick, easy, inexpensive and so delicious. These recipes are going to be your family's favorites long after those extra pounds of fat are history.
You could probably figure out a decent weight loss plan for yourself using the information George has now, for more than 10 years, freely provided for all of us on The World's Healthiest Foods. But you really should just buy the book. You'll know all your meals are giving you perfectly balanced nutrition. George has done all the work for you, so losing weight is going to be not just stress-free, but fun. You're going to want a copy of this book in your kitchen, both for the recipes and the inspiration it provides. And all--not just a portion-- of the money you spend buying the book will be used to keep the World's Healthiest Foods going for all of us. You get to give back while giving yourself Weight Loss Success without Dieting -- what could be better than this!

Even though it costs a good bit more than this book, I absolutely love Mr. Mateljan's book entitled The World's Healthiest Foods. This one with the weight loss emphasis is largely a repeat of things in the larger, much better book. I am obese, but not morbidly so, therefore I bought this book hoping for some extra help with weight loss issues. Other than some testimonials, it adds nothing new to the discussion as far as I'm concerned. So if you can, spring for the big one. I hope this helps.

Not much in the way of recipes, mostly just facts and instructions in the way of eating habits for healthy eating.
