Book Reviews of The Good Mood Diet: Feel Great While You Lose Weight
Book Review: Very Helpful! There Is Someting For Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This reviewer did not attempt to remember or follow any of the extensive lists of healthy menus, recipes, shopping lists, charts or food groupings listed in the pages of "The Good Mood Diet". All those are certainly worthy and helpful to those foodies who can follow instructions. This (male) reader cannot keep his fats, sugars, carbos, calories, proteins and portion sizes straight. More power to those who can! Those folks who are so able will dive deep into the pages of GMD. But what does a reader do who depends on his eagle eyed wife to "supervise" his diet? The answer is to read GMD carefully, not worry about lists but to glean what ideas he finds. And for the similarly challenged, there is a lot to like here. This reviewer learned-or was reinforced- about sunflower seeds, canned salmon, green tea, hot cocoa before bedtime and (basic!) Subway sandwiches. No meatball heroes with extra melted cheese! There are also helpful sections on ordering in restaurants and shopping in supermarkets and even useful advice on exercise: Especially relevant to this reader was the authoress' admonition to take 10,000 steps/day, add intensity to workouts and make maximum use of the STAIRS! GMD would make a wonderful health package with Therese Iknoian's "Fitness Walking". Iknoian writes like a big sister, Kleiner like a mom-quite a combination. Since this is self-help book, GMD should not be read once and discarded but kept handy for timely reference. It may seem trite to write that a book has something for everyone but GMD does. Recommended!
Summary of The Good Mood Diet: Feel Great While You Lose Weight
Dr. Kleiner, a leading nutrition authority on eating for strength, has put together a diet that has already been tested in Seattle with a Seattle Good Mood Diet weight loss group program. Bob Condor highlighted the progress of the group in the Seattle Post Intelligencer from Nov. 1, 2004 through April 2005. The author has since received thousands of requests for more information.The idea behind this book is that you can choose healthy foods that both make you feel great and, when eaten according to the plan, help you lose weight. Most diets cause chemical changes in the brain that make the dieter feel depressed. The typical plan is often too low in calories. In this diet, the participants eat feel-good foods with both ideal timing and ideal combinations. People's energy levels soar and participants feel better in days.
The key is to combine the right foods-i.e. balance of protein and fats to go with carbs. The plan outlines a diet of about 40 percent carbs, 30 percent proteins, and 30 percent fats and fiber. Participants eat from a list of "feel good foods," and eliminate excessive added sugar in processed foods. Sweets are not taboo, but the authors believes in "eat it only if you love it" when it comes to sweets. For instance, if you love pumpkin pie, have a slice, but maybe skip the crust unless it's fabulous. A bit of chocolate and a glass of red wine a day is okay once you're two weeks into the
