Pam's program was designed to avoid dieting and all its associated feelings of hunger. She also did not want to deprive herself of her favorite foods. Pam wanted a plan that would allow her to slowly lose weight and keep it off, which along with some exercise, has been her recipe for success. This book should be helpful for people who love to cook and who are beginning to pay attention to their diet and weight. Companion books for Pam's are: The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life, and THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams
Book Review: Great Recipes and a Darn Good Read.
Summary: 4 Stars
Thanks Pam. I agree with you.. Get off the couch everybody! Go work in the garden and grow some of these great ingredients listed in the book. These are recipes that everyone, heavy or not, can benefit from. I like the fact that there were no diets involved, just a change of attitude. We all know these things,we watch the news, read the magazines,listen to Oprah, but Pam really did it herself! Unlike Oprah (no offense anyone) Pam cooks her own food, and motivates herself probably without fancy trainers, or equipment. Much like moi.Book Review: Great lifestyle book...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is superb for people who really want to make a change in their lives and lose weight. I do not agree with the reviewer who said it would not work because of the amount of exercise Pam recommends. The book makes sense and has given me the inspiration to make life changes and I am seeing results. I exercise anyway and do not feel the need to walk 3 times a day because it is unrealistic with work and a young child. But, I do go to the gym 3x per week for 60-70 minutes, do 15 minutes of yoga each morning and walk the dog for 20 minutes in the morning. You do not have to do that much but her point is exercise is paramount to a healthy life. Losing weight and being healthy is more than just cutting calories and starving yourself. It is a lifestyle decision that must include some exercise and a healthy way of viewing food. Something Pam doesn't mention which is highlighted in French Women Dont Get Fatis compensating when you know you may over eat. If you are going out to dinner, eat light at breakfast and lunch so you can allow yourself to indulge. Then immediately back to healthy eating the next day. She has developed a way of life that will work, albeit slowly. After all, you didn't gain 50 pounds in 2 weeks why do you expect to lose it in 2 weeks!Book Review: Delicious healthy recipes, quick & easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have made (and enjoyed) several of the recipes from this book. They are both easy and tasty and only require ingredients that are easily found at my local grocery store. So many books I have looked at include recipes that are to cumbersome for the average person, so this is like a breath of fresh air. I especially like her seared turkey burgers and her morning smoothies (although I have found that my blender can't handle frozen bananas, I need fresh ones!). For me, this is a healthy & doable approach to eating & exercise (and for those who are complaining about 45 minutes of jogging a day, you don't necessarily have to jog - just plain old walking is very good exercise and at least 30 minutes a day is recommended for you anyway!)Book Review: great everyday recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book without even going through it first! I love all of her other books and this one is a hit as well. I have made many of the recipes and they are all quick and very flavorful. It's nice to have nutritious, healthy, great tating dinners during the busy work week.
