The Belly Fat Diet by John Chatham


If you are a mom, or plan to be someday, or even a grandma, or ok, just anybody who wants to finally, for real, get rid of any extra belly fat, this is my first choice for the BEST book you could have on your team!
This author goes out of his way to explain EVERYTHING there is to know about the health concerns, health issues, what to eat, what to buy, how to make it, it's absolutely priceless!!
I have had 4 kids, and honestly, it's kinda like, well, I don't have tons, or a lot, yeah, it'd be great to lose it, but I have no time!! Well, this book points out all the health problems that could come from excess belly fat, heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, and even dementia! That really isn't something I have time to think about, even though it is very important and should be something I think about!!
Here is something I know will make any busy mom go crazy over this book!! This is the coolest, and the main reason I actually believe I can handle this diet...
You do NOT have to count calories, carbs or fat grams!!
There is NO weighing or portioning!!
You will NOT be tired and grumpy all the time!!
You will NOT feel hungry all the time!!
and...
YOU WILL PROBABLY LOSE WEIGHT FASTER THEN YOU EXPECT!!
They always say it is not safe to lose more then 2 lbs per week, but that is because they figure you are cutting back on calories, and in turn, if you are losing this much, well, that means you are reducing your calorie intake to unhealthy levels. This makes sense! With this diet, you actually CAN lose more, because you are NOT counting calories, but rather, you are resetting and maximizing your body's fat burning and fat storing systems, so you can indeed lose more then 2 lbs per week!!
You will learn about the foods you can eat, which by the way, is a very generous list;) and he even says that, yes, you can actually "cheat" once a week and have a couple pieces of pizza or even a Snickers! YAY! Did you know that the majority of diets out there are actually worse for belly fat?? That is a very interesting fact and makes a lot of sense, especially when you are merely cutting calories, and not eating the proper foods.
I am delighted to have found a book that actually will work for me, and that I have time for!! This book also has a shopping list and lots of scrumptious recipes.
You can grab this book on Amazon and it is available on Kindle, so you can get started asap!!
Have you tried this diet? Please leave comments below!! I would love to get this started with me right away and I am planning on super good results, and would love to hear any success stories from you!!

The Paleo Diet Solution by John Chatham


This is an excellent book for anyone who may want to use The Paleo Diet in their lives to maybe lose weight, eat a healthier all around diet, or due to health concerns. I would recommend this book as being your first source if information and for all the answers to your questions.
There are lots of chapters in here, and John Chatham has covered every angle of this diet,everything from the lists of foods that you can eat, the list of foods that you cannot eat, how to find and buy these foods, recipes to use, what the Paleo diet is, where it came from, and what it is.
Have you ever heard of the Paleo diet? I have, but never really knew what it was. Can I do it? I doubt it, at least not at this point in my life. I am to much of a coffee drinker to let that go! Some nights, coffee is all I have to get me through when my RSD is super bad. You will have to give up sugars, alcohol, and processed foods to officially be on this diet. The point is that years and years and years ago, cavemen, didn't eat processed foods. This diet is also sometimes called, The caveman's Diet, The Hunter Gatherers Diet or The Stone Age Diet. Meaning that the foods eaten were all foods that were able to be hunted, fished, or foraged. Makes sense to me, I mean, they weren't eating dairy and processed foods then, and we all know that these are both foods that are the cause of many health concerns. Heart disease, Diabetes, and obesity are all caused by our modern diets and foods.
This is however, a diet that would help somebody in your family, a friend, maybe yourself! Of course, it would help everybody, for instance, my mother in law could really use this. So, my plans are to use this book as a way to introduce her to this, and when she comes back to her house from her most recent visit at the hospital, all of her cabinets and fridge will be stocked with these foods! This book is an excellent guide for me.
If you have a family member, a friend or if you are looking for a diet that will truly help you achieve a healthier lifestyle, or lose weight, The Paleo Diet Solution by John Chatham should be your first choice when researching this diet. It is the most helpful book for any diet I have ever read, as it includes lots of information, recipes, lists and everything you need to get started!
You can buy this book on Amazon!!
