Book Description
Ready, Set, Glow
What if you could lose three to eight pounds in a single day?
What if that nearly instant weight loss made you feel lighter, freer, cleaner, and more energized?
What if that single day began a healing, cleansing, revitalizing process, raising your awareness of the poisons that pollute our environment and purging your body of the toxins that set you up for weight gain, fatigue, and a host of deadly, debilitating diseases
What if that one day of weight loss could help jump-start a long-term weight-loss plan?
Well, that single day is here. With Ann Louise Gittleman’s The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet you can:
Cleanse your system back to health
Get rid of unhealthy, fattening toxins
Safely lose up to 8 pounds overnight and keep them off for good
The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet is a whole new way to think about weight loss. This is the first crash diet that not only works in the long run, but is also good for you.
GET ON THE FAST TRACK
IT’S SAFE. IT FEELS TERRIFIC. AND IT WORKS.
You know how it is. That special event just around the corner and you can’t fit into your designer jeans. You need a fool-proof, emergency weight-loss method that really works and works fast. So how do you safely and quickly lose those extra pounds?
Once again, renowned health pioneer and bestselling author Ann Louise Gittleman has a quick, no-strings-attached solution that is also good for you. She is always on the cutting edge of developing new methods to rejuvenate the body and facilitate weight loss and she’s done it again in The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet. Gittleman takes the age-old method of fasting and incorporates it into a safe and healthy one-day plan that helps you lose weight fast, gets rid of toxins, and gives your body a cleansing boost to prepare it for even more weight loss down the road.
The plan itself is blissfully simple:
THE PREQUEL: Seven days of adding detox support foods to your diet to prepare your body for the one-day Fast
THE FAST: One day of sipping Gittleman’s “Miracle Juice,” a deliciously spiced mixture of herbs and spices specially designed to stave off hunger, balance blood sugar, boost metabolism, and replenish nutrients (no kidding, the juice is completely delicious)
THE SEQUEL: Three days of reintroducing supportive and immune-boosting foods into your diet to seal in the results
That’s all. There’s no need for a strict maintenance plan or more dieting because the Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet purges your body of fattening toxins so that you’ll keep losing weight once you’re finished. What’s more, if you can’t add those healthy foods to your diet in the Prequel and Sequel, Gittleman provides a list of replacement supplements that you can easily find in your local health food store or online.
So, use The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet to jump start an over-40 metabolism, melt away vacation or holiday pounds, break a diet plateau, get in shape for that high school reunion or wedding, and even help heal a chronic illness. Even if you’ve been slow to lose weight in the past, the pounds will melt away quickly during your one-day fast. Inside there are recipes to prepare for the fast, shopping lists, and tips for sailing through the fast.
In addition, Ann Louise Gittleman shares the wisdom she’s gained from years of research on health, diet, and nutrition. You’ll find out about hidden toxins found in the environment and in everyday foods, and learn easy steps you can take to live healthier every day.
The perfect diet: simplicity, effortless weight loss, and obvious health benefits from a nutritionist with a proven tack record. You’ll feel so good after your first fast, you’ll want to incorporate the Fast Track’s cleansing principles and periodic fasting into your life for good.
Don’t delay, it’s time to jump on the Fast Track to a lighter, healthier you.

Good idea, but overpromissing.......2007-09-24
There is one thing that I absolutely agree with Ann Luise - the amount of chemicals that we are exposed to in our daily lives is overwhelming. I think that cleansing our bodies from them ("unchemicalizing ourselves") from time to time is a very good idea.
There are several other authors that pointed to this problem in the past. There are also a few who suggested better or worse cleansing solutions. One author dealing extensively with this topic in her few books is Hulda Clark. Gittleman's Detox Diet is only a good addition to the anthology. I do, however, have a problem with the "eight pounds weight loss in a day" idea. Isn't this just a little over-promising?
My favorite author dealing with this topic is Mikhail Tombak who offers total body cleansing solutions (starting with the liver, via kidney, intestines, bones and joints, and ending with blood) in one of the chapters of his book "Can We Live 150 Year?" At the same time Mr. Tombak does not promise losing weight overnight...
More about detox , than weight loss.......2007-07-13
I'm a big of Ann Gittleman. I have all her Fat Flush books. I think that the information they provide is invaluable. I learned a lot from reading her books. I've had success with this book and the Fat Flush Plan. To be honest, I did not lose the weight that I expected to lose from this detox diet. As one reviewer points out, it takes a lot of other factors to help you lose weight. However, the detoxification that I got was worth more than the extra pounds of weight loss. My actual weight loss came from Fat Flush. But, Fast Track helped to make my liver and colon much healthier. On this detox diet, sometimes it was hard for me to find a food within each of her categories that I liked, but I did my best. I liked the Miracle Juice, and it was easy to prepare. I really didn't think it was that bad. The detox day didn't affect me in any adverse way. I ate the next day, but I wasn't ravenous. To anyone who is thinking about purchasing this book, just know in advance that this book will help you in many ways, but it is a very tough 11 days. Just make sure that you're up to it before you begin. Also know that because it says that you COULD lose up to 8 pounds doesn't mean that you will. All I can tell you is that I enjoyed this book, and I will use it again to detox. Five stars for detoxification!
Not really "One-day" as it claims.......2007-04-25
Having lived in Germany I was already familiar with the idea of quick fasts and fasting groups to cleanse the body and periodically offset weight gain. I haven't tried this one because it seemed pretty complicated and requiring lots of effort, planning and the purchase of special stuff like supplements. I was also pretty put off when I read that there was a highly structured 7-day "prequel" to the detox. One-day huh?
Suprise eating health makes you feel better..........2007-03-29
Long term weight\fitness changes require long term effort.
That being said nothing like a jumpstart, new book, fad diet to get you going.

Very informative.......2007-04-11
Wow! I was amazed how fast I received my order from Wolfcreek Books.
I don't have a lot of time to read so I really enjoy listening to the subjects I am interested in.
I am a believer in Atkins. I had used it years ago and lost 60+ lbs. This book takes it further and teaches you how to change your life style to keep it off.
I am in need of the motivation.
Feel healthy, not hungry.......2007-03-25
Great recipes that will help with weight loss while still feeling healthy and energetic but not hungry.
Good Recipes.......2007-01-13
I wasn't too impressed with this one. But, there are some great recipes in the back!
Great Book!.......2006-08-17
This was a great help, I have already lost 18lbs in 2 weeks and still going strong.
Unnecessary.......2006-06-19
As one who had great success with the Atkins diet, I would say without reservation that such success is possible if one follows the programme exactly as it is outlined in the original New Diet Revolution, to which I'd give six stars if I could. The Induction period (first two weeks) is explained in depth in that book, and there is no need for a separate book to advertise products. In fact, the products are not only unnecessary (or no longer manufactured), but could sabotage the Induction period.

How to Jump Start Mr. Kamadia's Courses.......2007-06-15
This book had some nuggets of somewhat useful information for cheap marketing ideas. I especially liked the idea of putting your card in books at the bookstore. Enough to justify the price of this book? No, not in my opinion.
His other tips for new loan Officers are to have a Unique Selling Proposition, to stand out from the crowd; have a business plan. Yeah, no duh Kamadia.
The book is filled with self-promotion, which in my opinion lowers the author's credibility.
When day 30 of his 30 Day Mortgage Career Jump Start Campaign is to take his courses, you know something ain't right.
There is a much better book on starting a mortgage career and marketing yourself, for less money. I give this book a 'C'.
Not worth $1, one star is too much. .......2007-06-12
This without a doubt, the worse book on sales I have ever read. The book in my opinion is a con. The author was deceitful. The name of the book, the title of the chapters, implied he was providing marketing ideas on "how" to build your business. But all he did was state the obvious, without not even one example in the entire book of a letter, marketing piece, conversation with a customer, how he built his business. He tells you several times in the book to develop you own marketing plan, where the title of the book implies he would show you one. Oh yeah, he does he refer you several times to other websites to buy more worthless promises.
THIS REALLY WORKS!.......2007-02-13
THIS BOOK HELPED ME UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS MISSING IN MY BUSINESS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT BEING SELF EMPLOYED MEANS TO WORK WITH YOURSELF BY BUILDING A BUSINESS PLANS AND FULFILLING GOALS. THE BEST PART OF THIS BOOK IS THE MARKETING TECHNIQUES!
Jump Start Your Mortgage Career.......2006-12-08
As a mortgage banker for over 30 years there have been a number of imformative publications on th market. However, this book offers the reader who wants to get involved to make money while understanding the mortgage business from someone that has climb the rungs of the ladder. This book should be on every ones book to read it and reread it when wanting to earn additional money.
Book Description
The Solution to Dieting!
Almost everyone who wants to lose weight makes a painful discovery: diets don’t work. After following the rules and wrestling with the temptations, nearly all dieters regain what they have lost–and then some. What’s worse, the anger and frustration of constant dieting just make us want to eat more! If only we could turn off the drive to overeat. But that’s impossible, right? Wrong!
Based on the amazingly effective method developed by weight-loss expert Laurel Mellin, The 3-Day Solution Plan will give you a powerful, step-by-step plan to turn off the drive to overeat while shedding up to six pounds! A proven program for lasting weight loss without dieting, The Solution Method was developed by Mellin at the University of California, San Francisco’s School of Medicine. Health magazine named it one of the 10 top medical advances of 2000. But this is the first time The Solution Method has been made accessible to everyone as a results-oriented jumpstart to the program–and it only takes three days.
The life-changing potential of The Solution Method is that it directly addresses the feeling brain, the home of our most primitive urges, like eating. Other weight loss programs are based on knowledge and planning–activities of the thinking brain. The problem is that there is no significant relationship between the feeling brain and the thinking brain. Reason can’t make anyone stop wanting a cookie.
But as Solution participants attest: this program works. Two- and six-year follow-up studies have shown The Solution to produce weight loss without dieting and unparalleled results in terms of keeping it off. In just three days you will get started with the method and
• Lose up to six pounds without dieting
• Learn how to turn off the drive to overeat
• Follow the simple and healthy 1-2-3 Eating Plan
• Find out how fantastic you can feel every day!
With delicious recipes, complete menus, and suggestions for easy restaurant substitutions, The 3-Day Solution Plan is a complete road map that begins guiding you toward the ultimate destination: a thinner, more vibrant you!

A smart, doalbe diet.......2007-01-05
My wife and I got on this diet more than a year ago. We both so instant results and we felt good doing it. You have a lot to do to first week(s), but you see and feel the results, so it keeps you going. I was only a few pounds overweight, but I wanted to find a diet that could get me down to a healthier weight and look a little better in my clothes. Don't be fooled by the title of this book, the best part of this diet is that it gives you tips to run your life from here on in, and I'm still following many of the basic principles. Well done.
Pie in the sky.......2006-07-24
I was hoping this book would address psychological issues that drive us to overeat and offer suggestions to change. Instead it offered a very unrealistic lifestyle change of working only 6 to 8 hours a day, stopping every hour to examine one's feelings, taking an hour to exercise daily and an hour to do leisure activities daily. If only this were realistic.....
Not Impressed.......2006-03-12
While this book did touch on all aspects of life - self-nurturing, healthy exercise, toxic foods, etc., and offered some handy info; it remains a diet book nonetheless. The author's idea of a 3-day plan is to supress or limit the amount and types of food consumed during the 3-day period - i.e., a "diet." While the foods on the plan are "real", the 3-day food plan is typical of Atkins, South Beach, etc. I found other books to be much more helpful resources to overcome the root cause of an eating disorder.
Makes sense but badly written.......2005-12-17
I bought this book about a week ago, and am very excited to get started on it. Even though this is a weightloss book, and I do need to lose weight, I bought it because it talks about a way to get past the addictive behavior, the negative self-talk, all of that, by 'checking in' with yourself several times a day before you go too far down that spiral of self-destructive behavior. I've tried it a couple of times and it works! I encourage people to take a look at this book because the approach IS different than other diet books. But, it is not very well laid out or edited. There are several times where I have to re-read a sentence, because she's written it in such a convoluted way... instead of getting to the point, she gets too wordy, and you lose your momentum as you're reading. Also, there are, as I understand and I can't be sure because the bad format of the book, 3 main components to the 'solution', but then there are several part to each main component. And it's nearly impossible to figure it out, or remember it, unless you take notes. She talks about White Stuff once, and then doesn't mention it until several chapters later, and you have no idea what it is. Same with Masterful Living... This book needs to be re-released in a waaaaayyyyy better format, so that you can easily read about each part to the Solution, and follow it easier. The little cutout cards at the end of the book are helpful only to copy them down on your own piece of paper. Having said all that, I still recommend that people read the book - I think it's a sensible, innovative program, if you can just get through the book.
The 3-Day Solution Plan: Jump-start Lasting Weight Loss by Turning Off the Drive to Overeat.......2005-10-04
I am quite please with this book. It made a lot of sense to me. Laurel Mellin talks about how to come to a solution in your life that assists one with more than a new way of eating. The book speaks about how we can change our thinking on the other things in our life which in turn effects the what, when,and why we eat the things we do.
Amazon.com
OK, so it's a gimmick. A book in the shape of a 3-inch block. It'll take up too much space on your bookshelf. Its 672 pages are unnumbered, making it nearly impossible to find the same one twice. It is full of contradictory advice. And once you've used the book a few times, it'll more closely resemble a splayed slinky than a block.
So what? Author Jason Rekulak believes that inspiration "can be found anywhere--in dreams, highway billboards, newspaper personal ads, the Yellow Pages, restaurant menus, family photo albums, and bizarre morning TV talk shows." He has packed his stubby little book with kindling aplenty to ignite the fire of your writer's imagination. Open randomly to photographs and spark words ("traffic jam," "waiting," "hitchhiker," "prom"), writing challenges, and writing topics. "Chronicle the longest amount of time you've ever gone without sleeping," recommends one page. "Write about the biggest secret that you failed to keep," advises another. Describe "ten minutes that still make you cringe," urges a third. Write about one of the 300,000 Americans who consume at least 10 cups of coffee every day, or one of the 100 people who have registered with the Florida Department of Corrections to witness an execution, or one of the 3,500 members of the International Flat Earth Society. If none of that is enough to bump up your production rate, follow the lead of crime writer Charles Willeford. "Never allow yourself to take a leak in the morning until you've written a page," he says. "That way, you're guaranteed a page a day, and at the end of a year you have a novel." --Jane Steinberg
Book Description
Inspiration Running Low? Is Your Muse out to Lunch? Need a Nudge to Channel Your Creativity?
Here's the first book on writer's block that's packaged in the shape of a block—3" x 3" x 3"—with 672 pages and more than 200 photographs throughout. Next time you're stuck, just flip open THE WRITER'S BLOCK to any page and you'll find an idea or exercise that will jump-start your imagination. Many of these assignments come straight from the creative writing classes of celebrated novelists like Ethan Canin, Richard Price, Toni Morrison, and Kurt Vonnegut.
Within these pages, you'll learn how Joyce Carol Oates uses running to destroy writer's block. Elmore Leonard describes how he often finds ideas just by reading the newspaper. E. Annie Proulx discusses finding inspiration at garage sales. Isabel Allende tells why she always begins a new novel on January 8th. And John Irving explains why he prefers to write the last sentence first.
Fresh, fun, and irreverent, THE WRITER'S BLOCK also features advice from contemporary editors and literary agents, lessons from the awful novels of Joan Collins and Robert James Waller, a filmography of movies concerning writer's block (i.e. The Shining, Barton Fink) and countless other surprises. With this handy little book at your side, you may never experience writer's block again!

Different format.......2007-05-26
Difficult to use! Design is awkward to say the least. Concept is interesting.
Writer's Block.......2007-05-12
Looks like a stack of note paper, impossible to read, and was returned to Amazon.
Worth Every Cent.......2006-07-10
Have writer's block? Well, look no further!
This book is awesome! It contains about a billion writing prompts as well as funny stories and anecdotes about writers we all know. And if you're feeling down about your writing, the stories of the failures in this little cube shaped book will lift your spirits. I couldn't stop reading this book when I bought it and I can't think of a better way to spend ten bucks. Like my title says, this book is worth every cent.
Every writer and writer-wanna-be NEEDS this book.......2004-07-19
As an aspiring writer, I am constantly seeking ideas to inspire me. When writer's block hits (which is often) I open THE WRITER'S BLOCK and flip to practically any page and find numerous ideas on which to write. I have even gone through the book and flagged the ones that I like the most with post-it tags. The only unfortunate thing is -- I don't have enough time to write on all of these awesome suggestions! BUY THIS BOOK. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Creative Indulgence.......2004-07-16
This would probably have been a pretty good book, had the writer chosen to present substance, rather than focusing on being cutesy. The 3" X 3" size, which makes it difficult to read, is a serious distraction.
Book Description
Doug Hall has been called America's #1 New Product Idea Man by Inc. Magazine, A&E Top 10 and CIO Magazine, a title earned due to his outstanding work with such industry leaders as American Express, Ford Motor Company, Disney, Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett-Packard, Tropicana, AT&T and Frito-Lay.
After 10 years with Procter & Gamble Co., where he became that company's first "master marketing inventor," he now runs the Eureka Ranch, a work-hard, play-hard haven where he helps companies create breakthrough ideas for new products and services. This work, in combination with his years of consulting and researching, led directly to Jump Start Your Business Brain, the best piece of good news for business owners to appear in the last ten years.
Jump Start Your Business Brain is must-have information for business people everywhere, especially small business owners. Why? Because author Doug Hall is on a personal quest--a Robin Hood-like mission to translate the wisdom he's discovered researching top corporations into no-fail, practical tactics for small and medium sized businesses.
Jump Start Your Business Brain is packed with hard-won insight as to what truly works in the marketplace. To make it accessible to all, Doug transforms this real-life market intelligence into six scientific laws that, when applied with diligence, can make any business overflow with good fortune. Readers will learn how to:
* Increase sales by 10 to 50% by sharpening customer communications--not by spending additional money
* Transform business offerings to enjoy a higher profit margin
* Take charge of their future by increasing their skills at identifying and exploiting business opportunities
What makes this business book different from all the rest? Its laws of success are developed on scientific data and original research drawn from over 4,000 new products and services and over 6,000 front-line development groups.
Even better, the purchase of this book also entitles the reader to conduct a Merwyn simulated test market on the probability of success for their own business plan/idea. Merwyn, the computer "brain trust" for all Doug's data and research, will run an Idea Scan (via a single-use password protected within the book--a $500 value) which will allow crucial analysis for their business.
Finally, the promise of these scientific laws spring to life for the reader in dozens of small business success stories, including Village Pottery, Mo Hotta Mo Betta, College of Piping, Woolly Ware, Island Winds, Cavendish Figurines, Seasons in Thyme and Island Pewter.
Every copy of Jump Start Your Business Brain provides customers with access to one FREE Merwin Idea Scan--a $500 value!
Merwyn is a simulated test marketing system for business ideas. It allows test marketing of a new business, product, service or advertising idea before investing time and money in its execution.
Marketplace data indicates that ideas selected to go to market are successful only 25% of the time. An 845-case validation found Merwyn to have a 70% to 90% accuracy picking winners--thus dramatically reducing business risk. Merwyn's accuracy comes from:
1) Modeling what customers "do" as opposed to what they "say,"
2) Analyzing probability of success relative to millions of data points and
3) Eliminating the emotional bias that is common when pursuing new ideas.
Customer Reviews:
Mediocre follow-up to "Jump Start Your Brain".......2005-08-06
The average 5-star rating that this book has received to date is interesting. My 2-star rating credits Doug Hall's follow-up to his classic "Jump Start Your Brain" text with introducing readers to basic marketing in an enthusiastic manner. However, unlike the first "Jump Start" book (refer to the associated 5-star review I wrote for that text), there really is no uniqueness to this book when compared to other business-related marketing books except for the style in which the material is presented. Hall constantly brings up his "Merwyn" probability success tool that is being sold to the reader as a good way to predict the outcome of their product ideas, but since it is a proprietary tool there is no concrete explanation of the analytics behind the tool. Often, the book seems like it is merely a 300+-page sales pitch for Merwyn (and by the way, there is even a coupon in the book to get a one-time discount on use of his tool through the author's firm). After reading "Jump Start Your Business Brain" line by line for the first few chapters, it became quickly apparent that there is definitely a large amount of non-value-added fluff in the material. I still highly recommend "Jump Start Your Brain", but I do not believe this new Hall effort is worth your time unless you are completely new to marketing theory.
If you own just one buisness book, this is the one to have........2005-04-09
If there is only one business book to own, this is it!
Doug Hall lays out a straight forward, highly logical, and common sense means to communicate with your customers. Using his approach of communicating through overt benefits, dynamic difference, and real reason to believe, your business is sure to grow. This is a keeper!
What a disappointment.......2004-03-24
I buy about a book a week from Amazon and never write reviews - but I have to on this one.
Did you buy one of the original Apple Ipods? All the PR and reviews got your expectations up - only to find out that they went cheap on the battery. It lasts about 3-minutes. Big disappointment. It was capable of so much more.
Same with this book. I LOVED Hall's first book. Great breakthrough stuff. So when this one was released I got in the pre-publication line. I saved the book for a Saturday cross-country plane ride ready to savor. Had the highlighter all ready and - bummer. Couldn't believe it.
It's the equivlant of "Eat plenty of vegetables, get plenty of sleep and brush your teeth every day." Mundane, sophormoric stuff to be associated with the name Doug Hall. Not at all in the same league as his first book - a masterpiece. This guy is so much better than this cute little book of lists. I'll buy his next one, pay money to go see him - but this isn't the Doug Hall of the first book.
Tried and true ideas, reasonably well presented........2003-12-31
The book is full of marketing truisms that are presented better elsewhere, but set forth here as if they were new discoveries. For example, "benefits sell more than features." Well, duh! You already know this if you have read a single introductory marketing text. That said, the book's positive point is the energy with which he conveys the information, and it is a reasonably engaging read. The negative point is the ego of the author rises to the level of distraction.
So what's with all the glib five star reviews this book has received? Was I missing the point, was I reading a different book, or were there a few reviews planted by the publisher?

A Small Dynamo of RPG IV ILE information.......2002-10-18
This is a 15 chapter, 3 appendixes book that is only 270 pages, yet it gets you into RPG ILE in a short span of time. The author does a great job of specifying the changes from RPG III to RPG IV. I like the way a chapter was devoted to each specification change from Header, File, D-spec, Input , to the Calc spec. There are chapters devoted to Free form expressions using the EVAL opcode and the book does a good job of covering the many variations of the EVAL expressions. The new RPG Built-in Functions are covered, where there is a conscious move to change from RPG III's use of conditioning and result indicators to RPG IV's appropriate Built-in Function, eg., use of %FOUND bif with the CHAIN opcode to return a true value when a record is found, whereas, in the RPG III way the resulting indicator was turned off when the record was successfully found. There is a chapter devoted to Procedures, Subprocedures, and Prototypes, and the author takes you through the process of declaring and defining the procedures in actual coding examples. There is a chapter devoted to the new date/time operations and date bif's. These go a long way to simplifying date handling operations that used to take several lines of code. All in all, a good jump start into RPG IV for the person with knowledge of RPG III.

Great Introduction to Sensory Integration!.......2004-08-03
This book is a great introduction to sensory integration and how our senses effect our learning. As A professional who works with individuals who have sensory difficulties, I feel that this book would be helpful for new teacher trainings, as an introduction to sensory integration, or as a guide to help individuals (such as parents) who do not work in an education or medically based industry that need to gain a better understanding of sensory integration. All teachers should use these basic techniques in their classrooms; for individuals who are interested in a deeper understanding of sensory integration dysfunction and other related difficulties, perhaps a book with a deeper explanation of the CNS and sensory systems would better suit their needs. Overall, it's a good quick read!
sensory secrets how to jump start learning in children.......2004-07-13
Of everything that I've read this is the best book. Its a fairly quick read. It's broken down into very specific catigories. It gives you warning signs. It tells you how to work on a problem with professionals. It shows you hundreds of ways to work on each specific sensory motor problem. It also helps you to evaluate your own child and explains how certain holes in the learning foundation could quickly lead to learning diviculties later on in life (early grade school). If you feel that there is a problem with your child and you can't put your finger on it - this is the book that will give you invaluable stepping stones.
Great "Intro" Book.......2004-07-08
I found this to be a wonderful book for parents just entering the world of Sensory Integration Dysfunction. I explains so many of the terms and theories used by Occupational Therapists. However, this truly is an introduction, and not very helpful to anyone who has been working with an OT for any length of time.
If you don't have this one, you're library is not complete!!.......2003-04-21
Great book, very very good!!! You must have this one for your resource shelves. Therapists need the inventory for use in practice. What a great communication tool for parents, teachers and others to communicate with therapists. It helps parents to 'talk therapy talk,' just by filling in the inventory. The sensory secret checklist is great too. If you put this one on top of your list, you will recommend it too. Easy reading, with life changing information!!!
easy to understand.......2003-04-09
Sometimes books on the sensory systems are a hard read for non Occupational Therapists. This book was easy to follow with great examples of what to do to help with certain problem areas. I bought one and bought a second one for my son's teacher! I think the book is very helpful, hit vital points and actually made sense. I highly recommend it for a good read on sensory issues.
Book Description
Today, with our supercomplicated, stress-filled lives, the one element we can all use more of is energy. In Energy Breakthrough: Jump-start Your Weight Loss and Feel Great, Sarah, The Duchess of York tells how she copes with her incredibly multifaceted life yet keeps her weight down, her body trim, and her energy at its peak. Together with the editors of Weight Watchers, The Duchess details how you can do the same with a combination of nutritious eating, effective exercise, and a positive state of mind.
Energy Breakthrough is divided into two parts: "Understanding Energy" and "Fueling Your Energy." Part 1: "Understanding Energy" analyzes the three facets that make up what The Duchess calls the "energy equation": good nutrition, regular exercise, and an upbeat attitude toward life. The chapters "Food as Fuel for Your Body and Mind" and "Eating for Energy" give the basics of nutrition and tell how to balance meals to achieve optimum vigor. "Recharging Your Batteries with Exercise" explains how, paradoxically, the more active you are, the more energetic you'll feel, while "A Workout to Rev Up Your Energy" provides a walking regimen that you can easily incorporate into your everyday life for years to come.
"Energy from the Inside Out" describes how sleep deprivation, stress, and emotional issues can affect energy, then supplies ways to overcome these problems. Finally, "Giving Yourself an Energy Makeover" offers myriad suggestions for keeping your energy flow in tip-top condition. Part 2: "Fueling Your Energy" presents more than 75 delicious yet simple recipes for appetizers, breakfasts and brunches, lunches, main meals, desserts, and snacks, illustrated with color photographs. Also included are 28 daily menus that combine the recipes with still more luscious preparation ideas -- all designed to yield optimum energy and weight loss. The menus and recipes, based on the popular Weight Watchers
Winning Points weight-loss plan, include POINTS® values.
Chock-full of hints, tips, lists, quizzes, and profiles of everyday people who have successfully incorporated the Weight Watchers plan into their lives -- and, of course, The Duchess of York's heartfelt support -- Energy Breakthrough is a book you'll turn to again and again for healthy advice and encouragement.

Nothing New.......2006-10-25
If you know nothing about diet and exercise, this book may enlighten you some. But if you know anything at all, this is monotonous. There appears to be some good recipes, but I haven't tried any yet. All it says is eat well, exercise, and make time for yourself - don't need 130 plus pages for that.
Book Description
Intuition is the language of the soul, and we're all born with the natural ability of an inner-knowing. As we go through life, we have an inborn tendency to pull away from what was once totally natural to us. In 101 Ways to Jump-Start Your Intuiton, psychic medium John Holland guides you through 101 quick and easy lessons to help you understand, develop, and work with your internal sense of intuition. This small yet valuable book will become your companion as you rely more on intuition for direction, insight, clarity, and wisdom on a daily basis.
Each of the mini-lessons comes with its own affirmation or inspirational statement to complement and strengthen each of the 101 lessons. This book reinforces the idea that intuition is a reminder of the power of the human spirit, but more important, that when we listen to its advice, it can lead us to a life of unlimited potential.

Order from Chaos.......2007-09-06
I have ordered three books from this link and to date have received two of the three. I am satisfied with both. I am somewhat disappointed that it has been several weeks without the third book. I have been given no update on the third book, "Order from Chaos." Two books, "Born Knowing," and "101 Ways to Jump Start You" have both been timely and interesting.

Best Waterpik around.......2007-07-08
This Waterpick is the best of all out there in the market. Have tried them all and find that the original Waterpik - with it's new design and small footprint is great! Amazon's price $20 less than leading bath chains.
Brilliant!.......2007-03-25
This book deserves the positive reviews you can find on this page...there is nothing much to add : it keeps its promises, very handy to take along everywhere, and it does help improve your intuition ! John Holland wants to share his knowledge with us, making us feel like he writes his books for each and everyone of us, and not for making money. I like his style, you could not wish for a better teacher.
You Just GOTTA Love John Holland.......2007-03-25
John Holland's sibceruty just jumps off the pages of his books and this one is no exception. This is a fun little pocket guide to helping get your intuition going. A perfect gift for people who are just beginning their exploratuon, but there is still great info to be gleaned by the more experienced seeker.
Great book, buy it and keep it at your desk or bedside.
