Buy Low Price From Here Now

For years, Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn't figure out what was making her sick. She asked doctors and consulted nutritionists, but no one seemed to have any answers. It wasn't until spending time in the Australian Outback, living off the land on the grueling Survivor TV show, that, ironically, her symptoms vanished. Returning home, she pinpointed the food that made her sick -- gluten, the binding element in wheat. By simply eliminating it from her diet, she was able to enjoy a completely normal, healthy life. But that wasn't all. Hasselbeck discovered the myriad benefits that anyone can enjoy from a gluten-free diet: from weight loss and increased energy to even the alleviation of the conditions of autism.

In this all-inclusive book, Hasselbeck shares her hard-earned wisdom on living life without gluten and loving it. She gives you everything you need to know to start living a gluten-free life, from defining gluten - where to find it, how to read food labels - to targeting gluten-free products, creating G-Free shopping lists, sharing recipes, and managing G-Free living with family and friends.

 "So helpful! A perfect guide and plenty of Q&A's answered!" 2010-01-15
By Melissa May
I thought this book was completely amazing and unbelievably helpful. I just found out that I have celiac disease, and despite the info from my doctor, I still had no idea what I was in for. Once I read this book, I looked at it as sort of a guide to help me with G-Free living, and while it has still been a challenge, it has defiantly helped make my life easier!

 "A helpful guide to Celiac Disease" 2010-01-06
By Ed Sullivan (NYC)
I noticed this book in Borders one day while looking for a nutrition related book.

I, like her had worsening intestinal problems for quite a few years which no doctor had diagnosed correctly, this book was the answer to those problems, all the weird stuff happening to me, constant stomach pain, headaches, fatigue etc. etc. were all related and caused by one thing, Gluten Intolerence.

I started a whole new diet, having to cook more and give up some of my favorite foods wasn't easy, but I was so desperate I think I'd have given up oxygen by that point if I had to.

Within a few weeks I was a whole different person, no pain, more energy and getting a full night of sleep for the first time in years.

There are other books on Amazon on the same subject, and I recommend getting a few of them if you have Celiac or just want to avoid gluten.

Thank-You Elizabeth!!!

 "A good book to start with for those with celiac disease and others just starting to look for gluten free diet information" 2010-01-01
By Redlady (http://redladysreadingroom-redlady.blogspot.com/)
I have had The G-Free Diet: A Gluten Free Survival Guide by Elisabeth Hasselbeck on my bookshelf for several months and had to find the right time to read this book. Ms. Hasselbeck is well known as a co-host on The View and has been outspoken about her journey with celiac disease. Elisabeth found herself sick, starting in college and couldn't figure out what was the cause of her illness. She consulted numerous doctors and specialists but not one was able to help her determine the cause of her stomach problems and illness. She was a contestant on the TV show Survivor, with a very limited diet and was able to pinpoint her health problems to wheat and ultimately gluten. She had to be her own advocate and ended up diagnosing herself and finally found a specialist in Celiac Disease that did further testing to confirm the diagnosis.



In the G- Free Diet Hasselback shares how she learned to adjust her lifestyle to a gluten free life. She shares her experiences and suggestions throughout the book from what exactly gluten is to how to read food labels, finding gluten-free products, how to grocery shop effectively, adapt recipes, how to manage G-Free living with family and friends and more. This is a great book for the beginner and it includes extensive lists of products and restaurants that are G-Free.



The G- Free Diet focuses primarily on celiac disease but it also highlights other health conditions that may benefit from changing to a gluten free diet. Such conditions as arthritis, diabetes and even autism. There are many parents who have found significant improvement with their children with autism after changing their diets to a gluten and casein free diet. There is a chapter that discusses this in the book. I have several friends who have children with autism who follow this type of diet. They have found it has made a significant improvement in their children's lives.



I decided it was the perfect time to read this book as I am researching a gluten free diet for my son. y son has major food allergies, with peanuts and tree nuts being the worst as they are life threatening. He also has many other food allergies and lactose intolerance. We are researching some changes in his diet as we believe he may be sensitive to gluten and feel that it may be beneficial to try a diet change. The G- Free Diet will be a good resource to use if we decide to go down this road of becoming gluten free. I found many suggestions that were familiar to me with already having a child with food allergies. I am constantly on alert and checking food labels, checking with manufacturers and careful about foods that my son eats at school and at restaurants.



The G- Free Diet would be a good resource to start with if you, your child or family member has been diagnosed with celiac disease or needs to follow a gluten free diet. Hasselback is a prime example to many that you often need to be your own advocate and research information yourself to get answers. This is not to say that anyone can self diagnose themselves accurately, you should always confirm this with a medical professional. I feel that the book is more geared toward the newly diagnosed and the person who has learned to live a G-free lifestyle may already be familiar with this information. I would have liked to have more information from a medical doctor added as an additional chapter or addendum to explain the medical issues. Also, the professional advice added from a nutritional point of view by a medical doctor and/or nutritionist would have been an added bonus.

 "Life-Changing" 2009-12-29
By shannon g (pittsburgh, pa)
I bought this book and tried it and lost over 40 pounds in three months. I continued to lose weight after that, but soon learned that after 12 years of trying to have a baby that I was pregnant. I had been through countless fertility treatments and none worked. I have a beautiful son who we adopted also. I really think that by ridding my body of processed foods and basically junk, my body recognized this and was able to have a baby. This really is a healthy way to eat and change your lifestyle. I even think that I seemed happier while eating this way! I just went shopping yesterday and I am back on the reverse diet and hoping to lose the baby weight! I know that with the Reverse Diet that I can do it. I also went and bought a stationary bike for the house also. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who would like to change his or her life for the better!

 "Not rocket science" 2009-03-24
By C. Amos (Indianapolis, IN USA)
I purchased the book against better judgment. However, after a few months I can't seem to force myself past the halfway point. I am just not a fan of fluff writing or "therapy" books. I thought this book was from the view point of Tricia and her journey to lose weight but it appears to be written more from the co-authors clinical perspective (who has probably never dealt with the complexities and frustration of obesity). So far, they haven't covered anything you can't find for free. Drink hot lemon water, eat tons of soy, eat fish for breakfast and shredded wheat w/oj for dinner and reverse all your meals. I read that in woman's world for less than $2.

 "A Grand Piece of Intelligence Restriction" 2010-01-05
By Heavenly Roses (CA United States)
You just can't believe everything that appears today as "science". This is a grand work of epidemiological junk. I am an epidemiologist with 3 university degrees. I have also been an athlete all of my life, running in 12 marathons and nearly breaking 3 hours in the marathon. This is to ensure some reasonable measure of credibility for what I will be saying. The "CR" (calorie restriction) method is not based upon verifiable science, but is an experiment without adequate and convincing controls.



Recently (Chemical and Engineering News, August 3, 2009), published an article/study by these authors showing two 27-year old rhesus monkeys (Owen and Eeyore) -- one on the CR diet for 20 years (Eeyore... who is "pretty") and one on an unrestricted diet for 20 years (poor "Owen" who does not have the benefit of his comparator's "pretty" Western look). If you look at the two rhesus monkeys side-by-side, you can see that the monkey fed a calorie restricted (CR) diet appears physically "prettier" than the rhesus monkey fed an unrestricted diet. In fact the picture even states "which monkey looks older?" So what's to convince?? This is a bogus experiment! First of all, the two rhesus monkeys are living in an aberration of nature -- in confinement (prison) and under human control. Second of all - in spite of the difference in physical "beauty", both may be psychologically unhappy and an adequate measurement of their unhappiness and quite possibly neurosis and/or psychosis is not identified. They are both "prisoners of science" and captives of a poorly orchestrated food experiment administered under the guise of "science". Third, given the conditions of being caged, the monkey fed more food might be eating merely to compensate for his grossly unhappy conditions, and the poor "prettier" monkey who is fed the "restricted calorie" diet may be even more unhappy psychologically than the other monkey - this is not evaluated. Had they provided an equally aberrant condition for yet a third or fourth "control" monkey, they might have found that one preferred carrots and oranges over other calorie dense foods, and yet the other might have preferred a diet rich in heroine and/or cocaine to self-medicate throughout his miserable, caged existence. But we only have poor Owen and Eeyore as the sole victims of the "scientific" research. The minute they extracted these poor monkeys from their natural environment and fed or did not feed them "The CR Way" for 20 years, there was no adequate "control" in their experiment, least of all the "control" they considered poor Eeyore to be. Good epidemiological studies (that would provide the 80% power required for significant findings) usually require at least 10 subjects per each variable in the study. Placing monkeys in an artificial, captive environment is already one variable. Altering the diet is at least one (most likely more than one) variable, and quantity of diet is another variable. For a convincing, sound, viable epidemiological study one would need a bare minimum of 30 or 40 subjects, and these subjects should be humans, not monkeys, as the target is human health.



These monkeys may be the most miserable monkeys on planet Earth - but of course this is not the goal of the "experiment"... the goal of the experiment was to prove that caloric restriction has a rosier, physically prettier outcome. I have learned in my university education that a true scientific experiment asks a question and then seeks to find the answer. In this case, the researchers had a predisposed answer to their question - and they created the conditions that justified their preconceived answer: you will look beautiful if you live "The CR Way"! They neglect to tell you that you can look (and more importantly FEEL) good if you merely follow a lifestyle that you already know is true: (1) Get plenty of exercise every day; (2) eat a balanced diet that is not extreme and contains plenty of fruits and vegetables; (3) get lots of sleep each day (minimum of 7-8 hours if possible); (4) get regular checkups and preventive medical procedures; (5) increase joy and reduce stress with whatever activities of daily living help you (reading, writing, crafts, yes cooking, and taking wonderful care of your children and pets, etc.)



The point is: if BOTH monkeys lived a healthy, active life -- living in the wild with adequate exercise, healthy familial conditions and support, normal prey-predator conditions, and natural diet variations, they BOTH might look quite similar regardless of caloric intake! Their experiment creates artificial conditions that might make anybody look like a sad, homely, prematurely old, overweight monkey! The minute these "researchers" move the poor monkeys into the "scientific" prison in which they live, these researchers have ceased to create adequate controls for their aberrant diet experiments. I find this both unprofessional and epidemiologically disgusting in terms of study design and outcome -- really disgusting!



Sound epidemiological studies minimize the monochromatic nature of a narrow and limited study such as this one. What is typical of this "CR Way" is a complete lack of depth and understanding of the many intricacies, delicacies, and interconnectivity of human health. For instance, when humans or other mammals are stressed (again, experimentally or naturally) the immediate response is secretion of cortisol (our "fight or flight" stress hormone). An excess of cortisol production in our bodies suppresses our immune system by killing our T-cells. T-cells are also killed by anesthesia, chemotherapy, lack of adequate sleep, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), cortisone injections (which, I might add, is why athletes that use steroids are also at increased of cancer and/or infectious diseases) and other immune-suppressing infectious diseases and/or treatments. T-cells are necessary for killing virally infected cells and cancer cells in our bodies. If we are stressed (either acute or chronic, long-term stress) our T-cell population is therefore reduced, and in turn this puts us at a much greater risk of (1) infectious diseases and/or (2) cancers. The artificial stress of not eating after 1:00pm each day can create an unreasonable amount of continuing, chronic, and unresolved stress to any mammal, thus putting any human or other mammal at increased risk of infectious or chronic disease. Humans are not monkeys -- we are also complex, sensitive mammals that do not need to have more stress added to our busy and already overburdened lives by inducing an unnatural state of hunger each and every day of what should be a beautifully balanced and harmonious life. We cannot all live happily with such a rigid and sterile diet regimen - this creates yet another level of artificial stress that is just plain foolish and outrageous hogwash from authors that lust after a fountain of youth.



Also -- while much of the world is experiencing varying levels of hunger and/or malnutrition (some areas of our world are experiencing extreme hunger and premature death via malnutrition and starvation), I find this book a miserable example of western diet/weight/beauty overindulgence, physical appearance narcissism, and arrogance. Humans should be living their lives to the fullest and not practicing extremism in weight-loss and diet perversions. This book is a pathetic substitute for merely educating people about the basics of a healthy, long life (as above): (1) Get plenty of exercise every day; (2) eat a balanced diet that is not extreme and contains plenty of fruits and vegetables; (3) get lots of sleep each day (minimum of 7-8 hours if possible); (4) get regular checkups and preventive medical procedures; (5) increase joy and reduce stress with whatever activities of daily living help you (reading, writing, crafts, yes cooking, and taking wonderful care of your children and pets, etc.) These concepts date back to the days of Plato and Aristotle -- these concepts of how to live a healthy life are not new! Plato extolled the virtues of a balance in athleticism, physical activity, intellectual pursuits, and healthy wholesome diets. Many ancient cultures realized the important balance and harmony of all of these areas of life and to live a well-integrated life that is not extreme in any one area - thus a life that is not "out of balance" with oneself and our lovely natural world.



Unfortunately, these researchers are attempting to create scientific evidence where none truly exists - this book is a hoax written by affluent authors who have no clue what it is like to experience real hunger and/or starvation in life. Not eating after 1:00pm every day is ridiculous and stresses the body tremendously - I would not do this to anybody, man nor beast! The insulin response to food intake is one that is mediated over time and requires a careful, balanced, and consistent diet to maintain a healthy, consistent glucose vs. insulin level in the body. Hunger - contrived or natural - is not a nice thing to do to anybody - humans or other animals. When the body does not have an adequate source of glucose, your body will break down not only fat, but organs and muscle tissue to achieve its required goal of energy production. "The CR Way" should find its way to the nearest recycle bin (and please have a beautiful walk getting to the community recycle center so that it will be even more worth your while when you place "The CR Way" into the bin!) If you want to look and feel beautiful and live a long and happy life, keep up the exercise (as much as possible), sleep well, eat a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole, unprocessed foods, get regular medical checkups and procedures, and enjoy spending time with your beautiful family and pets.

Buy Cheap The G.I. Diet Clinic


Buy Low Price From Here Now

It takes only 13 weeks—three months—one season—and you're on your way to permanent, healthy weight loss. Based on the Glycemic Index, and developed by Rick Gallop, author of the New York Times bestselling G.I. Diet, The G.I. Diet Clinic is a complete weight-loss plan that incorporates recipes, meal plans—from breakfast through a late-night snack—motivational techniques and tips, and the inspirational real life stories of dozens of participants from G.I. Diet online workshops, where the average dieter lost 26 pounds—in 13 weeks!

The claim to the G.I. Diet has always been its simplicity: If you can follow a traffic light, you can follow the diet. What Gallop does in The G.I. Diet Clinic is show not only how the specifics of the diet work, but how to survive, enjoy, and ultimately embrace a new way of eating. With a different chapter for each week, Gallop covers meal planning, and how to convert a family's favorite foods into "green light" dishes. He writes about behavior change and what to do when temptation's too strong and you temporarily fall off the wagon; here, the combination of insightful tips (distract yourself with an activity; pinpoint the exact flavor you want) and encouraging comments from fellow dieters really helps. And he discusses exercise, dining out, unrealistic expectations, emotional eating, and "the plateau"— how to stay focused and motivated enough to cross it.

Included are 65 delicious green-light recipes, from Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes, Rigatoni with Mini Meatballs, and Mushroom-and-Gravy Pork Chops to Apple Raspberry Coffee Cake and Pecan Brownies. That’s right: brownies.

 "Not for busy singles" 2008-12-05
By TheCafeWriter (Chicago, IL USA)
I have no problem with the content per se. The diet itself with the red/yellow/green light layout is easy to understand. However, like all of Mr. Gallop's other books, this is very, very recipe-oriented, and with the exception of omelets and salads, nearly all the other recipes are for at least 4 people. That's fine if you're cooking for a family and your evening schedule is somewhat leisurely. For busy singles - or even the rushed family member eating solo - who just want to assemble a quick meal, there's no alternatives offered in any of the menu plans. The author assumes that you're always cooking for 4 people, at least two, and sometimes 6 or 8. His premise is that you have more time to spend cooking each and every night. (Frankly, if that were the case, I wouldn't have needed books like Mr. Gallop's in the first place.)



I like his approach, but it's just not just user-friendly for busy singles, hence the lower stars.

The Denim Diet book is truly one of the best diet / nutrition books I have ever read (and I have read lots). It is an easy read, very interesting and has the best recipes. A lot of books have recipes that are low fat or good for you but are not very tasty. These are all of the above and everything is healthy and easy to prepare.

Funny to think that a self help nutrition book is a page turner, but it is! It's packed w health/fitness info, talks about the choices we make about food and how they effect our body. Kami also educates us on how to make better choices to fuel our bodies and respect food. And the icing on the cake...it is written with a boat load of humor!

 "Healthy, Sensible, Fun and Funny" 2009-09-22
By Cheyenne
I highly recommend this book. The title makes it sound like it is going to be a fad diet - it isn't! It's all about getting healthy and looking great in your dream pair of jeans. The book is divided into chapters in which Kami helps you tackle your health habits one-by-one with babysteps and a lot of humor. The nutritional advice is sound and the focus is on building healthy diet and exercise habits while also being mindful of the environment and sustainability.



Some of the topics Kami covers are: artificial sweeteners, sugars and alternative sweeteners you might not have thought about (such as agave nectar - yum!), simple vs. complex carbs, organic foods vs. conventionally grown and genetically modified foods, fast food, alcohol, coffee drinks, protein sources including meats, fruits and veggies, fats (they are not all bad!), snacking, portion sizes, eating with freinds and family, and exercise. She includes shopping lists, recipes that are easy and delicious, and tips for choosing well at a variety of ethnic restaurants and social events.



Kami's approach is down-to-earth, positive, and sensible. She also weaves in lots of personal stories that keep you interested and motivated, and she is laugh-out-loud funny to boot. I felt like I was in the presence of a friend when I was reading it, and I found the advice easy-to-follow. Does it work? Well, I have lost 14 pounds (and counting), and my family says I look like a different person. I have never felt deprived since the plan includes plenty of healthy, delicious foods. My skin is glowing and I have more energy than I have had in years. I liked the babystep approach, since I have found that trying to revamp everything in my diet all at once is a recipe for crash-and-burn. This is a simple, doable lifestyle change that you can approach at your own pace.

 "The Denim Diet" 2009-06-13
By Tami Brady (Calgary, Canada)
Personally, I'm tired of diets that claim that I'm going to be a size two. I'm frustrated by diet books that assume I'm stupid or lazy if I have a little extra weight around my belly.



I prefer the approach that The Denim Diet takes. Yes, all the how to information is there but the author focuses on being healthy rather than adhering to a certain size. In the short and long run, I'd rather live actively and be kind to myself rather than alternately starving myself and then binging to drown my sorrows.

The Gene Smart Diet is going to challenge all that you know about the relationship between genetics, weight gain, and disease risk. In the process, it's going to change your health and your life, for the better.
True, your genes help determine how much you weigh, whether you're prone to certain diseases, even whether you live to a ripe old age. But your genes are not an indelible blueprint-far from it! You help decide which genes express themselves and in what way, largely by what you're putting on your plate.
The Gene Smart Diet emphasizes the foods that your genes recognize and love. In the right mix and portions, these foods and their component nutrients communicate with your genes over complex genetic pathways, setting the course for lasting weight loss and optimum health.
Each day of the 5-week plan features a complete menu, with every meal and snack developed to Gene Smart guidelines. Rest assured, it isn't your typical diet food. On Gene Smart, you'll feel full and satisfied. You won't believe that you can eat like this and still lose weight.
But losing weight is just the beginning of what The Gene Smart Diet can do for you. By improving key biomarkers, it produces real reductions in your likelihood of developing certain chronic diseases-including those commonly attributed to aging. in fact, eating the Gene Smart way can help slow the aging process itself.
Grounded in cutting-edge science, proven to produce results, The Gene Smart Diet is the solution you've been waiting for-and the last diet you'll ever need.

Dr. Chilton focuses on why the U.S. is facing an obesity epidemic. Everyone should read this book but particularly Americans b/c we have become addicted to food. With all the wrong food choices at our disposal we will never be healthy. We need to significantly reduce fast food restaurants b/c all they are doing is making people fat.

 "The last "diet/health" guidance book you'll ever need to buy" 2009-08-12
By Angela Stephenson (Wheaton, IL)
Gene Smart is so much more than a diet book. It's scientifically based nutritional guidance on the key nutrients your body needs to avoid disease and stay healthy so you can enjoy life! Dr. Chilton helps you understand why we crave certain foods, why we overeat, why the USA is getting more and more over weight - and what the solution is to stop the obesity train wreck. By working with our genetic code, we can get healthy and help our kids get healthy before it's too late.



I've never read such specific information on each of the Omega 3s and Omega 6s. I knew that consuming each of the Omega 3 oils was important, (which the book confirms) but I thought all types of Omega 6 needed to be decreased in the diet. The book explains that it's the Omega 6 oil, Linolaic Acid (LA), that we all get too much of. However, the Omega 6 oil, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), is essential to promote health in many ways. Decreasing inflammation is so important and I'm glad that the author shares with us the science to back up why this is true (and he provides practical steps on how you can decrease inflammation through diet and exercise). We've all heard the BUZZ about how polyphenols are anti-aging - now we can see the research and know that it's worth it to start consuming more polyphenols through whole foods and supplementation. His website [...] is also a great resource for health tips, practical dieting advice, recipes and much more. I highly recommend this book!

* Do you drink coffee in the morning to get your day started?

* Do you work through lunch?

* Do you crave sweets or a nap in the afternoon?

* Have you tried losing weight in the past three years and given up?

* Do you tend to have bouts of worry, anxiety, and depression?

* Do you have difficulty remembering things?

If you do, this book will help you restore balance to your daily life. By following its simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, you will not only lose excess pounds and maintain your ideal weight, you will generate energy and power in your life.

Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will: work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons, feeding it what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In spring, for instance, we want salads, berries, and leafy greens, a naturally low-fat diet. And in winter, we yearn for hearty soups, nuts, warm grains, and high-fat and protein-rich foods such as fish and meat. Following the foods that nature provides seasonally creates the best diet for balancing weight, mood, and energy for anyone living anywhere on earth.

I read this prior to attending a seminar by the author. The book is great, and explains the basics. Combined with the seminar - it really makes sense once you understand the theory of keeping a natural balance. I learned many more things to do to maintain balance in the seminar that are not in the book. If the book makes sense to you, I recommend attending the seminar for additional info, or reading from the authors web site for more info.

 "The 3 Season Diet by Dr. John Douillard" 2008-06-16
By Yoga Interested (Georgia, USA)
There are 29 of us (of a hatha yoga class) reading and reviewing this book together this summer (2008) as a summer read project. We have begun about 3 weeks ago, implementing the suggestions to diet, lifestyle, eating patterns. We meet weekly and share ideas and cover new chapter(s)in the book. Difficult to predict what will happen by the end of the summer, but one participant has already completed the book, implemented the practices recommendations and another participant has already lost 4 pounds. Our main target is not weight loss though, but improving overall health. I would recommend this book as a good study group book, an introduction into Ayurveda, it is delivered in western terms without all the Indian words and terms so that the average westerner who is not necessarily not on spiritual path (per se) can grasp the velevance a improve their daily health regimen. We are starting very soon to cook in the sessions, learning to make ghee, buying Indian dal and mung bean in gross and dividing it up, etc. learning a different approach to food prep and healthy nutuition rich foods and eating.

I received the book within a week of purchase and that was great. I was so excited because My Husband, and I as well as my brother in-law were going to start eating the makers diet way, but the only problem is that when I went shopping, I found that all the vitamin and supplements way too expensive, and organic food prices are through the roof. We are Christians and believe in what Jordan speaks of in the book, but the truth is the diet is way to expensive for the common every person to follow.

By Paula loves books (California)
Wow. This book is definitely not for dieting sissies. The Makers Diet for Weight Loss offers readers an "extreme makeover" from the inside and out. Rubin begins his book by making the case for eating only organic, non-processed, whole foods--and then goes on to spell out a well-planned, easily-understandable 16 week strategy for losing weight and cleansing the toxins from your body. The Makers Diet is over 300 pages long, and bursting with information about everything from good and bad foods, to overall health facts, to a quiz on "What's Your Nutritional Type?" (I'm a "meat type" in case you're interested). I will say that I found some of Rubin's ideas extreme, but for the person interested in a radical change in the way they think about, shop for, prepare, and eat food--this is the book for you.

 "Kindle version not recommended" 2009-05-08

I purchased the Kindle edition of this book. The formatting leaves alot to be desired - it added frustration to reading.



This book contains some great ideas and resources. Basic common sense rules. If you are willing to do the exercises, it will work for you.



My main gripe other than the kindle version is the way she hawks her website and services.

 "The Clutter Diet...say, "Goodbye diet, hello lifestyle!"" 2009-04-08
By S. Maxwell (CT USA)
Admittedly, when I first opened "The Clutter Diet ®," I did not expect any new theories on the art of organization. However, Lorie Marrero attacks clutter from every angle--psychological to practical; her methods will surely set most clutter bugs abuzz to reevaluate and apply her myriad ideas, findings and conclusions. I mean, how many professional organizers can say that they started the practice of taming the maze of paperwork in grammar school? Interestingly, in grammar school, Lorie purchased a label maker with her allowance money only to spend her recess periods organizing the contents in her classmates' desks! If that does not get your attention, consider the fact that she and her husband moved 11 times, two kids in tow, and built four houses.



I also appreciated Lorie's gentle approach. "The Clutter Diet®" is like a knowledgeable, hardcore coach, who does not forsake the readers' human side, and affirms them constantly. In this vein, I love Lorie reminding us that sometimes our self-critique of "good; imperfect; so-so" is "good enough!" Wow, does that take the stress out of the organizational process; and, speaking of process, like any good diet, Lorie's book gives many resources, including a free companion workbook as well as online aids, to make the clutter diet not a temporary fly-by-night option, but a permanent, lifestyle change.



In fact, as a self-proclaimed organization freak on a constant mission to squelch clutter, I teach classes on book writing/publishing and spend a good deal of time discussing how clutter can sabotage goal planning. My classroom philosophy is: How can you write the book of your dreams when you cannot even find a piece of paper in your office? After reading "The Clutter Diet ®," I made it a part of my curriculum; which brings me to conclude, if you want to unleash yourself from the chains of clutter so you can start implementing your dreams into reality, start by reading Lorie's book.

 "A Great Way to Start on the Path of Organizing Yourself!" 2009-04-03
By Harry S. Pariser (San Francisco, CA)
I haven't seen a book quite like Lorie Marrero's "The Clutter Diet." For one thing, it is integrated with a website. You can download useful organizer items for free there ("Clutter Prevention Wallet Sleeves", and she also has a forum and a mailing list. Secondly, its 260 pages are packed full of practical suggestions. For example, Lorie suggests buying dark clothing to mimimize stains, finding a motivation partner, turning your thoughts positive, planning before shopping, and using use a timer while cleaning. She also offers many useful suggestions on how to organize your mail, deal with your messy children, managing gift giving, selecting home storage units, getting rid of unecessary possesions, and other topics too numerous to mention. Even the most anal-retentive organized person can benefit from her suggestions. And, for messy individuals, it is a wonderful resource.

 "The Clutter Diet - slimming down your household's waste" 2009-03-15
By H. Perkins (Boston, USA)
The Clutter Diet: The Skinny on Organizing Your Home and Taking Control of Your Life

With Lori's metaphor of dieting, you could say this book is all about waste reduction for your house, if you'll pardon the pun. Her different take on an old topic gives it a freshness that helps to distinguish it from the crowd of other organizing books out there.

And just like the other type of dieting, Lori takes us through the key steps we need to take to get started - and to stay on track - to reduce the clutter in our lives, from finding the motivation, to getting the education we need on how to do it, to knowing where and how to find the support we need to keep it all going.

The book has lots of simple but practical tips and techniques (food shopping? Get the family to write things down once they need to be replaced and only buy what's on your grocery list), together with a handy 'Clutter Fitness Exercise' at the end of each chapter to reinforce what we've learned.

She also helps us strip the fat away from less tangible modern-day clutter that tends to accumulate in the form of junk mail, email spam and the results of poor time management. (Check out the excellent tip on using the Rules engine in Outlook).

The final section of the book nicely reinforces the dieting metaphor with a selection of 'recipes' that are full of ideas on organizing and keeping control of specific rooms and important spaces in your house, whether it's your home office or your utility room.

A pleasant layout and (of course) uncluttered design make this book easy to use and enjoyable to read. One small area for improvement: It might have been a good idea to include an Index, especially given the book's topic.

 "The Clutter Diet Delivers" 2009-03-13
By www.guideonyourside.com (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Have you tried to keep organized, but have only succeeded in fits and starts? That is where The Clutter Diet: The Skinny on Organizing Your Home and Taking Control of Your Life by Lorie Marrero, Austin, Texas: Reason Press, 2009 comes in. Lorie is a certified professional organizer and her expertise shines in this helpful book.



An outstanding feature of the book is that it is elegantly designed:



* It is so easy to follow along with the ideas

* The light blue shading used in some areas is calming

* The print is large and well-spaced



One would expect a book on organizing to be, well, organized, but it certainly is nice to have my expectations met. Each chapter ends with a clutter fitness exercise so you can follow through with the ideas.



Not surprisingly, this book probably appeals to women more than men. I would still encourage other men to read it. Organization in a shared household works best with a shared plan of organization.



The ideas make good sense and are realistic. The book was enjoyable to read and I know I will benefit from having read it.
