Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This husband and wife team (Judy's a registered nurse and Arthur practices internal medicine) joins the ranks of Christian authors and publishers who combine religion and weight loss. Proclaiming that the road to weight loss is a spiritual one, and that counting calories and abstaining from sweets ultimately doesn't work, they offer a 30-day guide to "freedom from concerns about food, eating, and your body." More than a weight-loss regimen, this spiritual self-improvement program combines practical "Keys to Conscious Living" (including tips such as eat only when the body is hungry and eat when sitting down) with a spiritual message about God's love. The book is sometimes repetitive, driving home the message of God's grace on nearly every page, but the charts and probing questions will help readers track eating patterns to gain a deeper understanding of what emotional need food is trying to replace. As much a self-help volume as a weight-loss one, the book's constant accentuation on learning new habits-both spiritual and physical-will help readers seeking to find a balance in their bodies and their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace at Last!, April 28 2004
By A Customer
At first I had a hard time with this book because it reminded me of my failures about 5 years ago with Gwen Shamblin's Weigh Down program. I left the book on my coffee table and picked it up about six weeks later with a more open heart and mind.

Wow, am I glad I did. Now I see that before, the focus was on obedience, but I could never quite make the connection and understand how eating when I wasn't hungry was "disobedient". It seemed to be all or nothing in that program.

This book gives me the freedom to change the way I eat in gradual steps. Right now I am waiting until I am hungry to eat, sitting down and eating in a relaxed way, etc. I have not fully learned to stop when satisfied but I am getting there. I feel great about the progress I have made and know the rest will come as I continue. The best part is that almost immediately, I stopped thinking constantly about food at felt at peace with myself and with God in this area.

Rethinking years of wrong habits and ideas does not come overnight by "being obedient". It comes with understanding of ourselves, how our bodies are made and with the loving, step-by-step, grace filled approach this book offers. I highly recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Major Disappointment, Jan 6 2004
By A Customer
I hate to write a negative comment about this book because when I read the original version in 1988 I though it was probably the best diet book available. However, while this revised version does still have the same essential content, it also force feeds you with an overwhealming amount of biblical theology. It's not that biblical quotes are bad because a few might help and inspire. The problem with this edition is that the author goes WAY overboard with far too many irrelevant quotes. An overwhealming random assortment of irrelevant biblical quotes make it very difficult to get to the relevant content of the book. What were they thinking?

5.0 out of 5 stars The only thing that's worked for me!, Jan 15 2006
This review is from: Thin Within: A Grace-Oriented Approach to Lasting Weight Loss (Paperback)
I've tried numerous programs to lose weight over the last 7 years (Weight Watchers, Dr. Phil, Oprah/Bob Greene, First Place, the GI Diet, etc), and nothing worked because they were too complicated, or restricting, or whatever.

Without exercise, I released 12 pounds in 8 weeks thanks to Thin Within! Then, I added in Leslie Sansone's "Walk Away the Pounds" walking program, and lost weight a little faster!

I plateaued (sp?) at a release of 25 lbs in 2005, and am soooo thrilled to report having gone from a size 12/14 to a size 8 with relative ease!

I can't recommend this book/program enough! :D
