Kudos to Cullip and Richards for an effective weight loss title. I’ve read many books
about
I’d like to point out some great points the book talks
about. First, the authors talk about mastering your mindset and the “Clearing
Your Plate” Syndrome. How many of us were taught to eat everything on our plate
where we were children? I know I was, and I brought it to my adulthood with me.
My mindset is that “I don’t want to waste it.”
Second, Rev Up Your
Metabolism talks about not getting enough sleep and emotional overeating. I
don’t know about the other emotional eaters out there, but normally when you’re
not sleeping, you’re overeating and if you’re overeating, you’re not sleeping.
Out of all the things I loved about this book, I have to say
what I enjoyed and continue to enjoy about this book is that this book has a
plan. Sure, I’m down for books that tell me to be positive and tell me that I can do it, but this book really causes
me to take action. In addition to writing down what I eat on a daily basis,
this book challenges me to write down my weight loss goals. Not only does it
challenge me to write down my weight loss goals, but it challenges me to write
down the “whys” of it all. If we are doing something, regardless of what it is,
and we fail to know why, we have nothing to keep us focused. Therefore, instead
of writing down that I would like to lose thirty pounds, I have to go a step
further and write down that the reason I want to lose thirty pounds is because
I am a diabetic, it runs in my family, and if I don’t control it with weight
loss, it can cause other health issues.
The Seven Success Factors for Weight Loss Motivation are
realistic and achievable and adds a sense of accountability. The book also has
other weight loss resources and recipes at the end of the book. I will get
great use out of this book and feel confident that I will achieve my weight
loss goals, or rather my lifestyle change goals. Great job ladies.
