Book Review: Eat Fat, Get Thin

Check out my review on LinkedIn, Eat Fat, Get Thin: Why the Fat we Eat is the Key to Sustained Weight Loss, by Mark Hyman, MD. I am a big fan of Dr. Hyman! He recommends low carb, moderate protein, and high fat. There are many practical takeaways backed by clinical studies and his own experience with patients.

Book Review: The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse

Check out my review on LinkedIn, The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse, by Maria Emmerich. I am a huge fan of her work as a wellness coach. She has authored several cookbooks as well.


This book is for those who want to try a ketogenic diet for the first time or for those who have previously tried a ketogenic diet on their own and didn’t get the expected results. Maria promises that if you commit to the cleanse for 30 days, you will feel and look great and may even be convinced to the ketogenic diet as a lifestyle choice.

Book Review: Wired to Eat

Check out my review on LinkedIn, Wired to Eat, by Robb Wolf.
This book is for the reader who is willing to put in the work to ascertain what works best for him or her. The author is asking you to commit to 30 days—essentially an elimination diet—and then additional time to test foods you want to reintroduce. There are general guidelines to follow, but for optimum results, you have to put in both the time and effort to uncover your individualized way of eating.

Book Review: Run for Your Life

Check out my review on LinkedIn, Run for Your Life, by Mark Cucuzzella, MD. I really enjoyed this book. It is a wealth of information about how to move better, whether that is walking, jogging, or racing. The author, Dr. Cucuzzella, is a physician, athlete, creator of the U.S. Air Force Efficient Running Program, and owner of a running store. The book provides instruction on better posture, walking, running, form, footwear, nutrition, training, and more.
