Crunch Time: Lose Weight Fast and Keep it Off
Customer review on 24/02/2009
Love this book. I am now on to week 4 of the exercises. I love the fact that I can do the exercises at home with very little gym gear as alternatives to equipment are given eg using a towel around a pole to pull yourself inwards working your muscles. I like how the fitness exercises include star jumps and the like - basic things that work. You do need some weights and a fitball but in saying that, you could alter the exercise if you didn't have a fitball. You really do feel like you have had a good workout each day.
I' m a foody so the recipes in the book don't appeal to me. They are very basic but Michelle does say in the book that her recipes are for people in a hurry and that you may wish to use your own. She gives the formula for working out how many calories your body burns each day so you can work out how much you should be eating.
This programme is really working for me and I am already getting good comments from people.

. Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future
Superfoods comprise a specific set of edible, incredibly nutritious plants that cannot be entirely classified as foods or medicines, because they combine positive aspects of both. The scientific evidence in this book outlines the discovery that superfoods are an essential part of a balanced diet and allow us to get more nutrition with less eating. Most of us have had the experience of eating all day just to keep our blood sugar up while receiving very little nourishment in the process. We also know that most of the conventional foods and fast foods today are nothing but empty calories. Because the nutrients in conventional foods are commonly depleted through processing, we must turn to new possibilities for whole and balanced nutrition.Superfoods represent a uniquely promising piece of the nutrition puzzle, as they are great sources of clean protein, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, good fats and oils, essential fatty and amino acids, and other nutrients. This new overview by bestselling raw food expert David Wolfe gives detailed information on nutritive, sustainable, and delicious superfoods such as goji berries, cacao beans (raw chocolate), maca, spirulina, bee products, hemp seed, and a host of others, along with recipes and suggestions for integrating these magical new foods into a transformative diet and lifestyle.
