Recent popular Diet Book Reviews from a Christian perspective
including The South Beach Diet and Eat Right 4 Your Type
by Diane Preves, M.S., R.D.

So you are ready and willing to make changes and you have a worthy goal--to be healthy.  You think that weight-loss can only be good, right? 
WRONG!

Diets wreak physical, emotional and spiritual havoc
(not to mention the money wastefully spent)

Physical:  Overwhelming evidence shows that body fat, although often associated with lifestyle disease, has never been shown to cause disease.  Furthermore, in the effort to produce weight-loss, individuals increase their risk for earlier mortality.

Emotional:  Overweight is not the problem, overeating is.  For many overeating is driven by underlying unresolved emotional pain.  Diets offer a false solution to the wrong problem!  Dieters often end up feeling worse for having "failed" yet again.

Spiritual: Many people allow food to become a substitute for a relationship with God and other people.  Food becomes an idol and many obsess about body image with a focus on self. Millions have developed an emotional or addictive relationship with food.


A national obsession with food, body image, diets, and an increasing epidemic of eating disorders are robbing our nation of its physical, emotional and spiritual health.


Futhermore, many wildly popular recent diet book authors boldly "establish" 
evolution as the foundation upon which they base their nutrition recommendations. 
Well-intentioned people embark on these diets with futile, even harmful, results.


God's Word says it best:

“Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: ‘Do not handle! Do not taste!
Do not touch!’ These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.  Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.”
Colossians 2:20-24

“For the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God’s sight.”
I Corinthians 3:19


So what's a Christian to do?

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s
will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.” 
Romans 12:1-2
Through the lens of Scripture and her professional wisdom, Diane has written the Diet Book Reviews to expose the harmful misinformation in recent popular diet books and to provide reviews of highly recommended books which the public and media are sorely unaware of.  Diet Book Reviews will educate you and give you a firm foundation from which to build healthy behaviors.  The time spent reading the Reviews can save you years of wasted time, money and effort. 

Be aware--in many states of our country you do not need a license to "practice" nutrition.  If you have an energetic publicist and a catchy name you too can be a
diet book author. 

Be assured--you do not need to have a master's in nutrition to discern myth from fact.  Read Diet Book Reviews to become better at discerning truth in nutrition and to help break through a diet mentality.

Be ready--there will be another diet come down the pike.  Read Diet Book Reviews now to better evaluate nutrition information in the culture.


Read Diet Book Reviews to prevent the physical, emotional and spiritual damage of dieting and learn of alternatives worth your money, time and efforts.
