Why Your Last Diet Failed You

Date October 28, 2008

And how this Book Won’t Help you on Your Next One.
What a title, huh? It made me laugh aloud when I read it. So did the back cover with quotes like…

"It’s like a blog, but on REAL paper"
-Some Guy on the Internet
"Three thumbs up"
-Combined praise [...]

e-Book Review: Habit Guide

Date August 26, 2008

James from Habit Guide asked if I’d be willing to review his (and his brother-in-laws) eBook of the same name. Honestly, I was a little hesitant at first as eBooks are just not my thing. The ones I’ve seen were just really poorly done.
But when I found some time I took a look, [...]

Book Review: Crack the Fat-Loss Code

Date August 25, 2008

I received this book a couple of weeks ago for review and was lucky enough to have some time on my Toronto business trip to get started reading it. I swear, I have a stack of books I’ve been “meaning” to read for YEARS!
Anyway, the first few chapters of this book are quite interesting.

Body Electric - A Book Review

Date June 4, 2008

A few days ago I received a copy of Body Electric by Margaret Richard to review. I have to be honest, I never heard of Margaret Richard before. Apparently she has been a popular personality on PBS for 18 years, I guess I’ve been living under a rock!
The book is split into two parts. [...]

Sexy in 6

Date January 19, 2008

It’s been a long time since I posted a book review so when Lindsey from Da Capo Lifelong Books asked me to take a look at Sexy in 6, I agreed.  To be honest, I never expect much from fitness books. Call me strange I don’t find much enjoyment reading about how to [...]

The Volumetrics Eating Plan

Date September 2, 2007

I have wanted to post this for weeks but life been getting in the way.  
This book may be the epitome of my food philosophy.  I never hid the fact that I like to eat. I mean I enjoy the process of eating, whether I’m hungry or not.  It’s probably the main reason [...]

Two Book Reviews and a Confession

Date May 27, 2007

Let’s start with the book reviews. They are easier to face then my confession. :~)
First I want to talk about 1/2 is More written by Jay Jacobs, the master mind behind myPetFat. MyPetFat is a replica of a human fat to either motivate you to lose weight or remind what you [...]

My First Book Review!

Date April 26, 2007

A few weeks ago, a Publicist contacted me and asked if I would review a book to include on my site. First, this FLOORED me! Who am I to review a book? Especially considering I’m not the workout queen and the book is about exercise routines.
I used it [...]
