A Step-By-Step Guide to Avoid Mid-Life Health Problems

I am a 42 year old man hoping and trying to avoid the health challenges many men my age and older seem to fall into so easily. I have read Jim McFarland's book, and I use it as a reference source for questions concerning men's health and physical fitness for men my age. McFarland's book is thorough, well researched and offers step-by-step and easy and practical steps for regaining your health.

Help Has Arrived for Overweight Men

I just finished reading Do or Die. The author tackles with candor and passion the three major health problems affecting older men-obesity, hypertension and type two diabetes. He prescribes a regimen of food, fitness and faith that can help men become healthier and happier individuals. McFarland states that nearly as many Americans die everyday from heart disease as died on 9/11. He says he was as much as 70 pounds overweight, had high blood sugar and didn't exercise much. Through faith, self-confidence and hard work, he turned his life around from being one of denial to one of doing. I believe his ideas for helping people get out of denial are unique, when compared to other self-help books. This book really is a step-by-step primer for male renewal. I think Do or Die can help men can change their behavior, take control of their health, and improve the quality of their lives. G.K. Graf, Seattle, WA

Do or Die is Straight Talk--We Need That

I am Jim McFarland. I wrote the book. I was tired of the same old weight loss stories, so I went out searching for a book to help me re-shape my life around better nutrition, exercise and faith practices. I searched and searched and could not find one text. Therefore, I started doing research to help me save myself. Then I started writing. I have learned that millions of baby-boomer men live in denial---afraid to admit to having health problems. This book will help older men get out of denial, face their problems squarely, and deal with them honestly. The book is loaded with techniques, ideas and strategies to help men take responsibility for their health and create new and healthy lifestyles. This book is all about renewal and prevention. Men need to act now to avoid costly and life-threatening bypass surgeries and other major medical procedures. The book is all about doing---figuring out ways to live longer and happier lives. I hope men everywhere who need help will read it and help themselves.
