Achieve Young And Slim For Life: 10 Essential Steps To Achieve Total Vitality And Kick-Start Weight Loss That Lasts Engineered By Frank Lipman EPub

received an ecopy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,

Dr. Lipman is one of my favorite wellness experts, and this book was exactly what I expect from him: comprehensive but accessible information, wellresearched advice that takes the entire person into consideration, and aweek plan to turn your health around.


A few things I loved about the book: The concept of ubuntu was new to me, but I like how he incorporated it into the book, I also liked the overview of exactly how medications commonly prescribed to heal can actually do harm, That section was more comprehensive compared to similar books, I was happy to see he covered what he calls carb intolerance, I encounter a lot of clients with this issue, but mainstream medicine hasn't embraced what I consider to be a serious metabolic issue, I liked the thorough list of foods to eat bone broth! and avoid all grains, which takes the guess work out of theweek plan, And finally, I loved that they take calorie counting out of the equation it's a pointless endeavor I tell my clients to avoid,

Theweek plan is simple, I could see how some people might find it restrictive, but to me it seems simple and accessible, which is an important component for any big lifestyle change, I'd also askwhat is your health worth to you This plan eliminates food and foodlike products that keep you from optimal health, so you're not losing anything important, The equipment needed is simple, the whole foods you can choose from offer a lot of nutritional bang for your buck, and the emphasis on movement, hydration, stress reduction, and sleep are spot on.


What I didn't like: I'm not a fan of shakes, and would recommend people make their own out of whole foods instead of using a processed protein powder.
Most people don't need extra protein, and are better off saving money and using whole foods instead,

I would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of feeling crummy, and needs to kick start a longterm lifestyle change,
This is basically the same book as another published a year earlier under a different publisher, so I'm putting my review in both versions,

This book does have some good information, especially if you are new to topics like gut health, healthy bacteria, etc, but there are some serious drawbacks that will make it hard for most people to follow, The author goes into detail about lots of different culprits in the way many people develop fatigue and gain weight midlife, He points out the way many foods mess with our insulin levels but also makes some claims that are not accepted by many scientists, like saying that the body will store some kinds of foods as fat and use other kinds as energy.
He also claims that some people are basically allergic to carbs, even healthy carbs like beans and veggies, and will have to limit them for life,

Some of his advice is very standard move more, stretch, eat real food, He points out that farmers feed antibiotics to livestock to fatten them up true and that our overuse of antibiotics is one reason we gain weight and have such a hard time losing it.
He also points out how many of the most common prescription drugs have weight gain as a typical side effect,

He offers a twoweek, intensive plan to rewire your body, but this will be quite hard for many people to follow, During the two weeks you don't just cut things like sugar, alcohol, refined foods and caffeine, but even things like eggs, beans, all grains even stuff like quinoa, nightshades like tomatoes, and much more.
He provides meal plans and recipes, but these rely heavily on either buying his shake powders or making your own with pea protein powder and other purchased addins, He also recommends taking various supplements, You are then supposed to move on to a less restrictive diet that's still quite restrictive,

Vegetarians and vegans take note he relies heavily on seafood, chicken and meats during the two week reboot and the maintenance program, He offers a section for vegetarian substitutes but this has two recipes ! a lentil stew with a couple of variations, and roasted veggies with a couple of variations,

The book has pages of endorsements by people like Gwyneth Paltrow at the start, For me, this is a mark against it, not a reason I'm likely to agree with it,

While there is some good information in here, most of the book reads like a long infomercial for his practice and his products, After reading about Dr. Frank Lipman, I decided to give this book a shot when I saw it on Net Galley, I was very glad when my request was approved and started reading this book right away,

It is one of the most comprehensive, practical and straightforward guide to lose weight and keep it off, without opting for drastic and unhealthy measures, but more of a lifestyle change that one can incorporate for life.


I liked his suggestions and method of combining different medicine streams for bringing about change in everyones' life,

At the end of the day, we all go to doctors for one thing freedom from suffering and as long as that's the end result the method doesn't matter, provided it isn't laden with side effects.
Isn't it That's exactly what Dr, Frank tries to achieve with his methods,

The twoweek looks intensive, but trust me, you really need to detoxify your body if you want any real and lasting results, You will understand the need for it once you start following his methods, I made some changes to suit me better, which you can do too, once you understand what he's talking about, I liked that he also concentrates on scores of other topics related to health and not just zero in on only weight loss, like other weight loss books do.
His methods are not only for weight loss, but for completely revamping your body and getting it rejuvenated and healthy and weight loss is one of the many benefits you would get from it :

Over all, this is one book you must read and follow if you are looking to lead a healthy, fit and happy life!

The first half of this book explains who the author is and why your body reacts to food the way it does, as well is all the essential parts a body needs to be healthy.
The second half of the book is the actual diet plan,

Reading the first half I kept thinking to myself, "Oh my goodness, this is me!" so I was really excited to get into the meat of the diet.
However I will say that once I read the program I wasn't sure this was for me, This is a two week program so everyone should be able to do it for such a short time but there is a reason it is short, it is very restrictive.
You are clearing out all of the "junk" from you diet and finding out what how your body reacts to different foods,

I will admit I am nervous about trying it and I have decided to wait until after the holidays to do so, I mean I have some willpower but who can pass on at least one of those little Halloween goodies the kids bring home.
which may explain why I need this book I am excited to see how my body reacts after the two weeks is up, I am nervous but optimistic, Are you tired of feeling worn out, sick, and overweight
