Description

The authors of Protein Power are back to advocate the "protein-rich, moderate-fat, carbohydrate-restricted diet" that opposes the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet that every professional medical and dietetic organization (including those who have no diet books to sell) believes to be your best bet for avoiding heart disease, the number one killer. The authors insist, in the face of all this medical opposition, that "the whole idea that fat and cholesterol cause heart disease is just that: an idea." We're meant to be hunters, say the authors: bring on the meat. Let's go back to the Paleolithic diet (no mention of the brief life span of Paleolithic men and women).The Protein Power Lifeplan is not easy reading--most of the book is made up of scientific explanations, research summaries and interpretations, and nutritional warnings--but no recipes. Besides recommending eating protein and fat, the authors recommend sunbathing without sunblock (but "never, never let your skin burn!") and exercises such as "bringing home the buffalo" and "defending the camp." The authors admit that if you're trying to lose weight, you have to limit calories, but if you're not, you can "munch on nuts, seeds, nut butters, cheeses, jerky, guacamole, and olives all day long."Carbohydrates, say the authors, "are totally nonessential to your health and well-being"--words to make dieticians and cardiologists shudder.

Finally, a book that doesn't say just "how," but instead proves "why."
I bought this book when it came out, and to this day it remains the most life-changing book I've ever read.

The authors give you a miniature medical degree, using basic facts found in standard medical texts to arrive at logically inescapable conclusions that make complete sense and echo what you see with your own eyes, on your own blood tests and on your own bathroom scale.

Your health will improve, you'll feel better in many different ways, and you'll not only be able to tell people what you're doing, but why---which is infinitely more valuable.

If you have a logical mind and want bedrock truth once and for all, you will be overjoyed to have finally found it.

Outstanding diet book for diabetes and other health issues
Following the advice in this book changed my health for the better. I've been able to control diabetes and lower cholesterol and triglicerides. I find this diet to be healthy and one that I can maintain as a lifelong style of eating. It includes enough variety for me to feel satisfied, and I feel it's healthier than some of the other low carb diets out there.

My wife eats according to the guidelines of this book as well. She is dealing with a number of health issues, and this diet has clearly made a difference.

The book is easy to understand, and it makes the eating plan easy to follow. I recommend this book all the time.

Lost 20 pounds and still losing.
I have battled the bulge for years.

This book explains how the diet works, and suggests alternative foods, and other readings.

Feel much better, and I don't cheat on the diet because I don't feel hungry.

Highly recommended to people that really want to lose weight but have not had results cutting calories and exercising.

So prepare yourself for the most dramatic life-enhancing diet program available!

If smoked salmon and cream cheese omelets, sautéed jumbo shrimp, and double-patty burgers suit your palate, belly up to the Protein Power diet: "Not a high protein diet" but "an adequate protein diet." Doctors Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades make a persuasive case in favor of "the diet we were meant to eat."

Similar to Dr. Robert Atkins's New Diet Revolution, the authors cite insulin as the main culprit in weight gain and expound the benefits of a diet extremely low in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, which are changed into sugar during digestion, stimulate the body to store fat, making weight loss virtually impossible. The most revolutionary idea put forth in Protein Power is that the fat you eat has very little bearing on the fat you gain: in other words, we aren't what we eat after all. Researchers have found that eating larger portions of protein in conjunction with severely reduced portions of carbohydrates causes people to burn the excess fat stored in their bodies.

Protein Power is packed with helpful charts and formulas, so you can estimate your body-fat percentage and your ideal weight for your particular body composition. There are worksheets to calculate your protein need and carbohydrate and protein equivalency charts, as well as charts that allow you to track your fat and weight loss. But this book is not all grams and percentages: it also shows you what a day of eating on this diet would look like and includes sample menus and 70 pages of recipes. If you've been starving yourself for years and just can't seem to lose weight, this may be the diet for you. --Jhana Bach

Fantastic Work!
The authors state that this book is an expansion on the previous low-carb research that came before it. Atkins was good but the Eades' are even better. In depth explanations of the underlying science is right there, and an easy to follow guide. Very well written.

Everyone has their own 'niche', I found mine!
I was real excited after reading all these reviews about this book and the results it gets. In all fairness, I'm writing because I found something that I will do for the rest of my life, and it's the 'Fiber 35 Diet'. I just keep getting emails to review this one, and it really isn't fair to this author. I started Fiber 35, By Brenda Watson, first, as it made sense to me & was right there in front of me. I've always had stomache problems, and as long as I drank lots of water, it couldn't hurt me. In three weeks, I have lost 9lbs of excessive probably mixture of water, and the fiber filling my belly so I wouldn't be so hungry. I'm totally smitten with this diet, and although I 'had' planned on trying this one, & going down the row of 'new ways of living', not actual 'diets' that you do til you get the magical numbers that you want. I figured it would take some time, finding what fit my body. Found it on first shot, sorry Mr. Author, if amazon didn't keep sending me a note asking me to review this product, I wouldn't have written this! I'm sure it's very good, and perfect for someone's, many people's systems. Good luck everyone in finding the 'niche' for our health that we-well, you (now)! are all searching for. I guess they kept asking for an opinion because I had you on my wish list! I think my wish has come true though, and if not, (Like the Governor of CA says_), 'I'll be back'!

Great for fat-loss, athletes will need some modification
Protein Power is an excellent introduction to the three macro-nutrients (protein, carbs, fat). The Eades' stress the importance of protein(good) and healthy fats(good), but almost forbid carbohydrates(not good).

As a professional fitness trainer I can say that the authors were writing this book more for sedentary individuals than athletes, or exercising adults. They seem to diminish the fact that QUALITY carbohydrates(slow-digesting) are an important part of anyone's nutrition plan.

Although, too much of a good thing...is not so good. Too much protein...will be converted to triglycerides and be stored as fat. Too many carbs...will be converted to triglycerides and be stored as fat. Too much fat...well, you get the picture!

I applaud the authors for their work; but if your planning a proper exercise program, this diet will leave you exhausted and in no condition for an intense workout.

If your not planning on exercising to help lose the fat(shame!), then go for it. You'll be fine.

limited, but easy to use
I am still looking for a really good complete carb counter for home cooking. Because I would use it mostly at home, I am not so concerned with the size, but more with the ease of use (meaning that I can find the info I want quickly) and having a large variety of the basic forms of foods listed.

So far I find the The Protein Power Lifeplan Gram Counter to be the easiest book of its kind to use.

Also, there are even not-so-common varieties of fruits, vegetables, and nuts listed. In my ideal book I would like more, especially in more forms and quantities, though this is good here for a small book.

One good aspect is that in addition to carb counts the Eads book lists Omega 6 & 3 values, and has special, easily found, pages on particularly desirable foods (such as high vitamin C, magnesium, E, and biggest bang for the buck foods). I appreciate those extras when planning meals ahead, including deciding what to buy at the grocery store.

Disappointing for me, but...
I haven't tried a single recipe in this book. It just made food much more work than I, personally, am willing to do. I'd rather just go without high carb foods or find a low carb substitute, lol.

Many of the recipes call for ingredients that I couldn't find at my local supermarket, even though I think I have the most LC friendly supermarket I've ever seen. (Not saying much, I know.) Drs. Eades even recommend that it's cheaper to get many of your ingredients in the mail, which might work for advanced planners. I'm just not one of those.

And forget about making low carb 'pasta' or 'rice' if you don't know where to buy a pasta-making attachment. I'm showing my lack of cooking skill, maybe, when I say I've never even heard of such a thing! And tack on another 30 minutes if you want to do it by hand. I find it's much easier (and cheaper) to buy a package of shirataki noodles if I'm jonesing for pasta.

And I can't tell if the carbs listed per recipe are net carbs (total carbs minus fibers, etc.) or total carbs. Some people absorb sugar alcohols, etc., while others don't. So, I would be cautious about using this book while dieting if you find you're sensitive to different varieties of carbohydrate (fibers, starches and sugars). But if you're not, and you enjoy cooking, have at it! Also, if you don't need to lose weight but like to eat low carb, this might be a good cook book for you.

Bottom line is I'm too lazy to make any of the recipes that sounded good to me. If you like spending time in the kitchen, though, and you don't mind grocery shopping online, it could work for you.

Every recipe has dairy
There are some useable recipes in this cookbook, but for someone sensitive to dairy it is almost useless. There are no suggested substitutions for dairy free cooking and believe me if you don't tolerate whey powder you will not like this book. Full of sour cream, whey powder, gluten etc. you will be in a world of hurt if you are like me who gets arthritis and rheumatic pain from these allergens.

Nice try, MD's. Too bad you know next to nothing about alternative nutrition!

Excellent Book, Great Workout Program
When it comes to exercise, there is a lot of "universal wisdom" out there. But is any of it truly wise?

A good fitness book needs to do three things really well

-Educate
-Convince
-Motivate

I think The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution delivers all three.

The book makes a strong case for slow-motion exercise being a safe and efficient way to build muscle strength. It also makes a great argument for why that is desirable in the first place.

It is extremely well written. Every concept is explained clearly and simply. By the time I had finished reading the book, the authors had answered all the questions I was thinking about while reading. This is unusual for me. I usually have lots of leftover questions after reading this type of book.

I guess it depends some on your personality type, but I found the book to be very encouraging and motivational. I felt like it put a higher level of fitness within my reach... which is something that has been out of my reach for a long time.

If you want to strengthen your muscles (including your heart), increase your stamina, increase your flexibility (no conventional "stretching" required) and burn off more body fat, then maybe slow burn is for you!!

Clear easy-to-follow exercise plan
This book has easy-to-follow directions and photos. The exercise plan seems adequate and well-thought-out. It does take more time than depicted - I found that the sessions take approximately one hour, not the 30 minutes touted on the cover. Requires additional equipment besides light dumbells - a timer and a metronome, both of which have free online apps if you search.

A fitness program that makes sense and works quickly
This is an easy to read and understand book about fitness. It's perfect for those of us who don't have a lot of time to work out every day. This program takes just 30 minutes a week! The program is easy to follow with clear photos and descriptions of each exercise. There are directions for using the program in the gym or at home. I bought the book for use at home. There is a minimal amount of equipment needed so there's very little cost involved. The exercises are easy to perform so it doesn't take long to learn the entire program.

I recommend this book if you are looking for a good workout, noticeable results, without much time or money involved.
