Looking for a great book that has absolutely nothing to do with business, or homelessness, or happy thoughts? How about an AWESOME book on your metabolism.

Okay, okay - not the usual for this site, but I’m on a health kick (for life) and really looking at why I feel lousy so often. I found Jillian Michael’s book, “Master Your Metabolism,” and IT ROCKS! Wow. I just bought it today and have already read half of it, and skimmed the rest. I like Jillian’s kick-ass attitude and rocking body (I want mine to look like that!) on The Biggest Loser, but until you get into this book you can’t appreciate the brains this woman has as well.

In college I roomed with a nutrition major, and a co-worker I knew for years had alphabet soup degrees in health education and nutrition, but I never heard any of the information I just read in Jillian’s book. I’ve struggled with doctors for years, trying to determine just what hormones were missing or weak. NONE OF THEM suggested a change in diet. They all wanted me to take drugs (our pharmaceutical mafia at work) for my “borderline” hormones. I refused and now I’m glad. I get a shot at correcting my body naturally first.

This book rocks because the information is relevant, specific, easy to read and understand and applicable. Jillian isn’t tempted to wander into the “diet” and “workout” world we all know her for. She goes where no trainer I’ve ever met has gone - into the belly of the beast - telling readers exactly how toxins, food, and our Cheeto loving butts have gotten us into endocrine hell - with our thyroid, our hunger and estrogen hormones all screwed up from our food. I thought all food did was make me fat. It does more, and WORSE!! It zaps my energy, threatens my moods, my heart, my health….wow. I now have the motivation I needed to never drink another soda again.

Why should you buy it? Because like me, you’ve heard the same old CRAP about how food, the wrong food, makes us fat. You can recite the same tired lines and cliches about transfats, sat fat, processed food and blah, blah, blah - but this book DOESN’T DO THAT! You get NEW information, stuff you probably haven’t read. I’m a major reader, (and writer) and I’ve NEVER seen this stuff….because I think most trainers and folks are afraid to tell people how critical food is to our hormones.

Men - want to find out how “Junk shrinks the stuff in your trunk,”? Better get it and find out how your testosterone levels (that’s your sex drive) can be diminished by FOOD!!

Women….men….mothers-to-be. If you want to be healthy where it counts, (not in the size of your butt) - in your very freaking CELLS, then BUY THIS BOOK!!! It rocks. Really. It does.

Whew. Okay. I’m excited. And thrilled to be starting this new food regime. Awesome. There is no affiliate link on this page…so know that I’m supporting this book because it simply ROCKS. Really.
