 Permanent and Healthy Weight Loss Has To Happen In The Mind More Than The Mouth Sep 23, 2009
By Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Man
"Jimmy Moore"
Being a physician for four decades doesn't necessarily mean you know very much about what it takes to produce "permanent weight loss." But Dr. Barnet Meltzer realized in recent years that his medical practice should be more about preventing disease from happening in the first place through deliberate strategies that target keeping weight under control while arming your body with the best nutrients to make you happy and healthy for a very long time. That's what this book encompasses.
Dr. Meltzer realizes that in order to change your weight and health you absolutely MUST make certain changes in your lifestyle, including adding exercise, making smart choices about the foods you consume, keeping insulin levels stabilized, allowing your liver to function at optimal levels, removing unnecessary stress from your life, and supplementing with the proper vitamins daily. These are all a part of his "LYF-Style" factors that go into improving your metabolism. Detoxifying your body and setting it up for success first will get you going on the right track.
He shares about what he thinks are the proper ways to eat to be healthy which unfortunately focus too heavily on the low-fat options to resolve what is referred to as "appetitus," but I have to give Dr. Meltzer some credence for making people become more aware of what and why they are feeding themselves the way that they do. His holistic approach to dealing with these mental and psychological reasons why people eat like they do is certainly something that makes him stand apart from the other so-called health "experts" out there. Bringing about these necessary behavior modifications are a necessary starting point for anyone regardless of what nutritional plan you choose to get there.
The book is very science-minded with a flair for explaining some oftentimes difficult concepts into layman's language so you're not left asking yourself "What's he talking about?" after reading it. And Dr. Meltzer doesn't talk down to you either -- he acknowledges the hurt and pain you have gone through becoming overweight or obese and offers up real-life solutions for making that happen. Plus, he accurately identifies the addiction to food (especially sugary, high-carb ones!) and the constant overall obsession with food that far too many Americans are allowing to encompass their lives. Best of all, he offers strategies for breaking this ruthless cycle once and for all.
After you implement his metabolic changes and physical disciplines into your life, Dr. Meltzer then shows you how to revolutionize the way you think so you will create permanency in the new lifestyle you are now living. This "dynamic willpower" as he describes it is the key to keeping weight off forever. I'm not a big fan at all of the concept of willpower when it comes to weight loss, but instead having a steadfast resolve to make better choices for the sake of your health. But Dr. Meltzer makes a compelling argument for thinking much more positively in the direction of a can-do attitude regarding implementing these disciplines and applying active self-control certainly isn't a bad way to get there.
All in all, this 450-page book is loaded with some useful information for anyone deciding the time is right to grab hold of this weight problem and get it under control once and for all. Dr. Barnet Meltzer and his son Jordan are applying the concepts that have worked with the people they've come into contact with and they work by "outsmarting" the typical ebb and flow that happens when you usually go on a diet. Proven-science or psycho-babble? YOU DECIDE!
 Finally - The answers to taking if off & keeping it off Permanently Aug 26, 2011

It sucks losing weight then gaining it all back. Frankly, I was tired of hearing and reading about weight loss. I tried too many times just to gain it all back. Now working with a health coach, Mr. Jordan Meltzer and reading his book, I know this program works. Mr. Meltzer is giving me strategies to take it off and keep it off. He is using a system that I never heard of before. He explains everything in way that is easy to understand. The book is packed with information that makes complete sense on why I have been having so much trouble and gives me the tools and knowledge to take it off and keep it off permanently. I still have a long way to go; but by being coached by Mr. Meltzer I know this is the last program I will ever need. He is truly caring and has a wealth of knowledge, it makes all the difference in the world for me. Getting through the first week was the hardest, but because I was accountable to Mr. Meltzer, it gave me that extra push to get through it. With his help I have reprogramed my mind, and have created a much needed strong life-time health regimen that is a way of life. Thank you Mr. Jordan Meltzer and Dr. Meltzer.
