"Feed Muscle, Shrink Fat" is designed to refine how you can lose weight using a plan that is designed not only to work, but also to make sense in the process. With the help of long time health and fitness expert Kathy Smith, readers of this unique book can divers and learn exactly what they need to do in order to implement a healthy plan for diet and weight loss that is straightforward, scientifically proven and supported, and also incredibly easy to adapt. The primary premise of this book is that by nourishing the muscle in your body you are automatically shrinking how much fat you have. In other words, by feeding your muscle you are losing weight and shrinking the amount of excess fat that you have on your body in a way that is healthy and proactive rather than relying on fad diets or weight loss short cuts.
This is a diet plan that simply makes sense, plain and simple. It follows a simple equation in a way that is easy to understand. Protein, plus vitamin C, plus fiber is all you need to feed your muscles in order to shrink the fat in your body. Following this simple equation means that you will be getting plenty of high quality protein along with vegetables, fruits and other vital nutrients. You are encouraged by this book to eat three meals a day along with two snacks at regular intervals all throughout the day in order to keep your blood sugar levels steady.
After following this specific plan for two weeks, people have shown weight loss results of as many as fourteen pounds. Some of the results that come from using this particular diet plan include less hungry feelings and less cravings for unhealthy foods like enriched carbohydrates. Kathy Smith uses easy recipes, easy to follow shopping lists and easy snack lists that make it easy to follow this diet plan without much trouble.
Kathy Smith's book also offers an exercise section, which offers much of the same workouts that you would normally find in her DVDs, including clear directions and a great concern for packing the most possible results in the least amount of time. If you are dealing with a busy schedule or otherwise do not have a lot of time for working out, Kathy Smith's exercises are an excellent way to go to drive all of the right results without all of the necessary time.
Kathy Smith's "Feed Muscle, Shrink Fat" is more than simply a diet - It is a lifetime eating and exercise plan that can generate long lasting, healthy results by helping you build muscle and shrink fat for optimum health and wellbeing.

Tomorrow is a holiday, which is why you are reading a book review today. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Enjoy the fireworks and BBQs!
Dr. Shapiro's book The Guide to Picture Perfect Weight Loss combines several interesting factors into one plan to help readers lose weight. While you may not agree with some of his advice or suggestions, it certainly is an interesting read and a book that dieter's should at least consider. The author really focused on healthy lifestyle changes, so that earned him points right off the bat.
When it comes to losing weight, it's not about those initial quick results. If you're not making whole life changes, it's all too easy to fall back into bad habits and immediately your progress was for naught. We always appreciate it when authors step away from the fad diet craze and start focusing on ways that everyone, regardless of their current weight, can get healthy and stay that way.
Dr. Shapiro was hired to help the Fire Department in New York City lose weight and it's easy to see why he is well renowned in the diet industry. This book focuses on using pictures to help readers make smart food choices. It's all about replacing bad foods and developing those healthy eating habits that will keep you slim for the rest of your life. We really appreciated the fact that he illustrated proper serving sizes visually since many of us have a hard time picturing what a "serving" actually is.
The best part of the book lies in the suggestions for replacements for unhealthy foods. At times, it was pretty shocking to see exactly what you could eat instead of fast food. The sheer volume of healthy but tasty food compared with the small serving of fast food was remarkable and no one could ever claim that this was a diet that left them feeling hungry.
Since total deprivation does not work when it comes to losing weight, this book offered hundreds of alternatives that readers can immediately put into action so that they feel full and fulfilled. It may be tough at first to implement a few of these changes, particularly since fast food and unhealthy food as a whole tastes so good, but the author really did his job when it came to finding alternatives that are completely comparable. If you can break your addiction to fast food, you'll be surprised at just how much healthy food you could be eating.
It was virtually impossible to come up with any criticism for this book. It's well written, well thought out and most importantly, provided a new way to look at dieting. So many diet books are all the same and so many leave reader's feeling empty or worse, ripped off. By visually representing food changes, the author really took diet books to a whole new level and we can hope that the industry will follow suit.
Overall, this is a book that belongs on any dieter's bookshelf. Even those who are already at their goal weight can learn a lot from this book and walk away with a new appreciation of eating healthy.
