Master Your Metabolism by Jillian Michaels »
I have read a lot of books on physiology, more specifically hormones and metabolism, written by people with board-certified medical degrees. This book explains almost all of what the others do, plus more recent research, in a much easier to read format with helpful charts and references. I was very surprised a book of this quality could come from a non-degreed personal trainer. I have a new respect for Jillian Michaels for passing along medical researched-based facts (many pages of peer-reviewed medical references in the back if you want to check the sources) and dispelling myths like working out on an empty stomach, and the problems with soy and other substances interacting with hormones. Her own story is very interesting and there is a very thorough section explaining hormones and their interconnecting roles in our health. I’ve already started cleaning out my fridge and cabinets.
Making the Cut By Jillian Michaels »
True to form, Jillian comes through in a manner that is clear, concise, and no-nonsense. I lost 32 pounds utilizing her first book, “Winning by Losing.” I’ve maintained my loss for almost a year, in part, by listening to her weekly radio show. She won my loyalty long ago, because this woman KNOWS HER STUFF! So when I heard about her new book, I decided I was ready to dive back in and go for “the cut.” I’ve lost 5 additional pounds in 8 days. I’m so jazzed — thank you, Jillian!
The 7 Principles of Fat Burning by Dr. Eric Berg »
A great read. Well organized, good flow with humor interspersed to captivate the reader on this timely topic. The author includes plenty of drawings, charts and graphs to concretize what’s conducive to fat burning as well as what inhibits the same. He has a way of taking this complex complicated information and regurgitating it into easily digestible chunks. The 7 Principles of Fat Burning rapidly brings you up the learning curve to understand how to activate your fat-burning hormones unique to your body type. A wealth of information from debunking the myths to tantalizing recipes, eating guides and exercise plans. It’s hard to put down. A definite keeper.
