Different Bodies, Different Diets: Introducing the Revolutionary 25 Body Type System Review

Different Bodies, Different Diets: Introducing the Revolutionary 25 Body Type System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It was fun looking through the book, reading descriptions and trying to find my body type. And it has a value in increasing one's body acceptance after looking at page after page of different body constitutions. I could not determine my "type" exactly, and got it narrowed down to three possibilities (that is after following all steps and reading psychological profiles). Next I look at the dietary recommendations, thinking that I could maybe blend them....but they were quite different and did not provide rationale for the promation of healthy vs. food to avoid.
I would find it hard to make some of the seemingly bizarre diet choices when the author offers no explanation for the "bionutrition" , either by research or by client experience. "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" is so much easier and understandable, plus the author attempts to explain/support his recommendations.

The Everything Thyroid Diet Book: Manage Your Metabolism and Control Your Weight (Everything Series) Review

The Everything Thyroid Diet Book: Manage Your Metabolism and Control Your Weight (Everything Series)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In less than a year I gained 20+ pounds after a total thyroidectomy. My bloodwork is all "normal" now, but I can't get the weight off even with a well-balanced, low-calorie diet. I was hoping that this book would shed some light on how to get my metabolism moving again.
Unfortunately, I found the book to be filled with basic thyroid information and generic recipes. Many topics were not applicable to my hypothryoid situation, and dealt with issues like: hyperthyroidism, iodine-deficient thyroidism, celiac disease + thyroid problems, etc.
The diet portion of the book doesn't provide any pictures (not even black & white) so you have no sense what the final dish looks like, nor are you visually inspired to get cooking. It's basically a heart-healthy diet that seems pretty generic to me.
On a positive note, the tone of the book is friendly, clear, and easily understandable. The author comes across as very sincere in her desire to share her personal and professional knowledge of the disease. Unfortunately, I didn't get much out of it.

Twinlab Amino Fuel Anabolic Liquid Amino Acids Review

My middle son has PDD NOS and as a result has defects in the production of his amino acids. He is also notoriously picky about his food and often does not eat enough proteins, which has become an even bigger concern since we started pulling the milk from his diet. Since he has poor muscle tone which does not respond to exercise I cut the dose down by body weight and started him on these to see if they would help him out.(don't do this unless you are a health professional such as myself or under the supervision of one)
He has responded very well to the 1 tsp/day dosage and now we actually don't see ribs on his chest and back. He has more energy and is getting a little bit more strength in his legs over the last 3 months he has been taking them. Rather than lounging lifelessly on the couch for a good portion of the day he is up and active again. These aminos also have vitamins packed in there, many of them are very beneficial to DS as well.
2 negatives - the taste and the absence of Methly B-12 in favor of the cyanocobalamin which tends to be more poorly absorbed. The taste is quite horrid and I am proud of DS for being a trooper and taking these on a daily basis. Mind you, we also take Alpha Lipoic Acid Liquid which is AWFUL tasting, as well as other liquid suppliments so we aren't big into complaining about taste. These are far worse..even my DH (who loves these BTW) still can't get used to the punch these deliver. He also reports a much higher energy level and quicker recovery from his strenuous workouts from taking these at 1/3 the recommended dosage. Any higher he feels they give him a bit too much energy than he needs. They do provide results which is why we suffer through it! I think strawberry would be a better flavor to be honest..
