I got the book ... By: mompm. on 08 Mar 10, 18:12:26 I got the book yesterday. Can't wait to? read it.
Susan Powter ... By: tejo29se. on 31 Jul 09, 20:31:02 Susan Powter started an avalance (in a good way) when I read her first books. I don't have politics of stupid (I have 2 order it and maybe wait a long time because I live in Denmark) but it sounds like a great eye opener.
I read "stop the insanity" and that was the eye opener 4 me. 10 yrs later I am now a vegetarian.
It's actually Bjørn Lomborg who made me "JUMP" in2 vegetarianism. I have only been 2 1 of his lectures about? his book "cool it". I absolutely adore him. He's the greatest.
I think you missed ... By: divataunia. on 30 Jun 09, 13:54:27 I think you missed my point here. I think not too. I had surgery because it was my last option. HOWEVER, I struggle (and so do many others) with the behaviors and choices now that I'm over a year out and able to eat more regularly. If I had started reading this book earlier, I would have fed my? body the nutrients it so desperately needed, and I'd be well on my way to eating and thinking in a much healthier way right now. The book says what we ALL need to hear - surgery or not. :)
But? the really ... By: kdoornink. on 30 Jun 09, 06:20:50 But? the really important question is: would you have been able to lose your weight with this book? I really think not.
YAY! I'm so glad ... By: divataunia. on 29 Jun 09, 15:36:32 YAY! I'm so glad she's having a positive influence on? you. I heart her! It's all common sense, but sometimes you just need someone to say it loud and clear for you to remind you to be better to yourself. I tend to start each morning by reading/watching something of hers and it makes a huge difference in the choices and behaviors throughout my day. Best wishes to you!
Got the book. Read ... By: MsDulceLeche. on 28 Jun 09, 16:26:35 Got the book. Read it. Totally motivated! So I'm going to start eating better foods and moving! My lifestyle is obviously not working for me, so I'm gonna try and change it. I figured I'd stil? go through with ym WLS consultation and testing but try and lose some weight in the mean time cause they're going to require that any way. We'll see how I look and feel in a few months when I get an actual surgery date. Thanks for recommending the book, Taunia!
I love the video. ... By: snuggles421965. on 25 Jun 09, 17:00:53 I love the video. It was great. As for Susan powter i used to watch her daily when she had a show on. I cant really afford the book but maybe some day i will beable to so i can read it. Sounds like great advice. Yea a bike, Im? getting one to this summer cant wait to go riding . I havent rode a bike since i was 15

and eating whole foods!!!!....omg - VEGETABLES!
we are? kindred spirits on our journey to wellness...SO glad to have you as my friend.
love you lots and lots,
soozy
What a great video! ... By: katiejuly. on 16 Jun 09, 13:32:43 What a great video! I totally agree with what you're saying here. I'm so appreciative of my surgery, but it doesn't do much to change our habits in terms of WHOLE foods and real nutrition. I think changing those habits takes tons of time and effort. I'll pick up the? book and give it a read. Also, Brittney is so cute!
Susan is a little ... By: allisonpacino. on 15 Jun 09, 19:23:29 Susan is a little hard for me to follow while watching her on video,so I think that reading the book? might help. I TOTALLY agree that is totally better to eat the whole foods without all of the "crap" that a lot of the foods have added. It's honestly just not needed and not good for our bodies. Our bodies weren't created to process all of the chemicals. I am definitely pro surgery as it has helped/is helping me to be healthy ,but it's important to know with what we are fueling ourselves :)

Thanks for your ... By: divataunia. on 14 Jun 09, 22:06:51 Thanks for your comments! There are things that Susan says that I disagree with (obviously, the whole WLS topic!), but I *am* very motivated by her straight talk and information. I have already started to see and feel the changes in my body, my energy, and my life by? swapping out the old bad habits, taking out all-protein, and switching to a well-balance, whole food approach. . I'll definitely post more on that, and thank you for your comments!
BTW - I appreciate ... By: divataunia. on 14 Jun 09, 22:03:24 BTW - I appreciate your comments and always welcome conversation about these things. The only way we change the issues (and ourselves) is talking about? it, so I appreciate your comments and wish you the very best!
While I can ( ... By: divataunia. on 14 Jun 09, 22:02:01 While I can (obviously) relate to weight being tied to medical issues, I can also attest that after losing 170 lbs and recently completely changing the fuel that I feed my body? (whole and nutritious foods), it absolutely DOES make a difference. That's not to say that you shouldn't be treated accurately for your conditions, because it can't be brushed off simply as weight either. I'd be curious what you're doing nutritionally to change your conditions if you wanted to talk privately. :)
I'm a little ... By: divataunia. on 14 Jun 09, 21:58:32 I'm a little confused, because I think you're? addressing two different issues here: "therapy or pyschological" and medical issues due to weight. I guess I'm just not sure what part of what Susan is saying is offensive?
To me, I think responsible mental health care HAS to include nutrition. Your brain is not disconnected from your body, and what we feed it directly affects how it operates.

That whole " ... By: strongisfighting. on 14 Jun 09, 19:39:59 That whole "ologists" thing bothered me because it hit a nerve. I am sick of having all my medical issues written off because I am overweight. It seems like doctors just tell me that I need to loose weight and then all my problems? will go away. In fact, one of the major reasons why I want to loose weight is so that I can finally get a doctor to actually treat my illness rather than lecture me about being fat. Sorry, but I think Powter is WAY off base on that one and find it offensive.
I found a book that ... By: wisetara. on 14 Jun 09, 05:32:18 I found a book that I've found to be amazing. There's physical stuff in there about losing weight, but it's more about...well, it's hard to explain. But let's just say that I understand more about being fat and getting to "not fat" by reading a book called The Gabriel Method. Just an? amazing book. I like hearing about other books that inspire others. The Gabriel Method is the first "fat" book that has really made sense to me. And even if his philosophy is wrong, it's still good stuff. It's good.
I went to Borders ... By: MSLECHE. on 14 Jun 09, 03:56:09 I went to Borders to get me a copy of Susan Powter's book and of course they didn't have any in stock...so I ordered it. I should be getting it? soon. Can't wait to read it. You look healthy and full of energy...take care!
