Not just coconuts

I have read many books on diet and nutrition trying to find the answer to my weight problem. Though I have learned many things from a number of books, this one has been the most comprehensive in helping me to understand why I have been unable up to now to lose the weight I need to and to keep it off. In the book are helpful questionaires to be filled out to determine whether or not you have problems with insulin resistance, an underactive thyroid, and/or a yeast problem. All of these things make it difficult to lose weight and to keep it off. Also included are suggestions on how to combat these problems as well as other issues that may be keeping those pounds from coming off. While the diet itself is low-carb, it includes a wider variety of foods to eat than the Atkins diet making it a bit easier to stick to. Though the benefits of using coconut oil for losing weight and overall health are discussed, this book is far more than a book about coconuts! Well worth the money as well as the time invested to read the book.

Dietary path to health and wholeness

Cherie Calbom has written the book I have been waiting for. Because of my concern about nutritionally sound weight loss and wholistic health, I wanted to have a book that encompassed each of these areas. As a biologist who has pursued health and nutrition for most of my life, I've tried many of the popular diet programs throughout the years. Many of them work for a while, yet do not provide long-term health benefits or are damaging to the body over time. I was introduced to the benefits of coconut oil before I read this book, and they are indeed wide-ranging---coconut oil added to the diet increases health and wellness. However, most of the people I have coached need a clear path to run on. This book provides that pathway by giving clear instructions that can work for anyone, regardless of where they started or what they know. The book has a programmed pathway to effective weight loss, as well as instructions on how to restore the body to the health we were all created to enjoy. Many people I know have reported excellent results after only a short time, not only with weight loss, but also with increased energy and a sense of well-being. For those with atherosclerosis, liver congestion, high cholesterol, or other serious problems, Cherie's Phase II Liver Cleanse can help the body restore health when properly followed. The book is fun to read, has great recipes, plus guidance for overcoming obstacles to weight loss, including emotional issues. I was especially impressed with the sections on blood sugar imbalances, thyroid problems, and candida, which have been a challenge for me personally as well as many of the people I coach. I highly recommend it.

no cholesterol in coconut

Just wanted to point out to Mr Coach Dad that coconut contains zero cholesterol. Only animal products contain cholesterol. Coconut is good for you in many ways. For cooking it is the best oil there is, far better than the last fad (olive oil).

Coconuts Rehabilitated!

Cherie Calbom, in collaboration with her behavioral medicine specialist husband, John Calbom, has once again produced a scholarly and eminently useful book on nutrition and diet. Obesity is now epidemic in America and new ways of thinking and acting are required. As a physician and public health scientist, I have several patients who not been able to lose weight on any kind of diet and who are now shedding pounds using the Coconut Diet. One woman has lost 50 pounds over the past six months! Good science, tasty food, and accessible writing make this a necessary cookbook for every kitchen in our obese society. I highly recommend it!
