Vitamin D Diet & Week 17 Results

This book comes out in Sept. Description from Amazon...


A 4-week plan backed by the latest science that unlocks the key to melting fat for good.

A staggering 70 percent of Americans are now vitamin D deficient. And almost 70 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Of all the variables we can control, vitamin D may play the most crucial role of all in controlling appetite and our natural ability to either store or burn fat. The answer is in what you eat. According to new, breakthrough research, you can nearly double your weight loss in the same amount of time, and zero in on your #1 trouble spot—your tummy—by maximizing one thing: vitamin D.

The Vitamin D Diet is packed with delicious, D-fortified foods that melt fat fast—readers can expect to lose up to 7 pounds on the 7-Day Speed Melt, then transition into the full 4-Week Fat Melt. The menus are designed specifically to superdose the body with D, which promotes satiety and eliminates diet-busting cravings. There’s even a unique "Summer" and "Winter" maintenance plan created around foods of the seasons, to further boost mood and short-circuit diet-induced depression. And since readers can enjoy snacks, dessert, even a glass of wine—it’s a plan they can follow for life!

Including an easy-to-follow, customizable exercise plan and mouth-watering-yet-slimming recipes, The Vitamin D Diet unlocks the body’s fat-melting potential to beat hunger, maximize weight loss, boost energy, and dramatically improve one’s health.

Our Brains! Week 13, 14 & 15 Results

87% to 95% of the illnesses that plague us today are a direct result of our thought life. What we think about affects us physically and emotionally. It's an epidemic of toxic emotions. Quote on Dr. Leaf's website drleaf.com
The book is amazing! Brain food is a chapter. Do not use non-stick cooking spray. It is more toxic than pesticides and stays in one's body forever. Butter over margarine. Real fat. No cooked bad oils. Eggs have good cholesterol. Complex carbohydrates. Our heightened sense of one of our senses helps us remember. We should use visual diagrams that look like our brain that has good memory (a tree with many branches). It also helps to rotate the paper we are studying on and read in a circle. We remember by using both our right & left sides of our brains. One side of our brain is the big puzzle to separate pieces and the other side of our brain is separate pieces to the big puzzle. Also read with a ruler guide. It helps you not get tired, lost on the page & you will retain more.
Dr. Leaf's newer book is Who Switched Off Your Brain, Solving the Mystery of He Said/She Said.
Also it is probably the last time I buy a soft serve ice cream cake. I'll stick with the custard ones. Soft serve is loaded with chemicals, preservatives.

60 Gram Air Force Diet & Week 9 Results

Thought this book was interesting, the 60 gram diet based on the Air Force diet published 1965. Love the fact you can have coffee with cream for breakfast & dinner, a daiquiri cocktail for lunch & a 1/4 pint of coffee ice cream with 2 T whipped cream for dinner & still lose weight.
