Rock What You’ve Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty From Someone Who’s Been There and Back
By Katherine Schwarzenegger
Published September 14, 2010 (Hardcover) Voice
“When did life turn into a constant beauty pageant?” Katherine Schwarzenegger asks in her book Rock What You’ve Got. Smart book. Substantive. So before you start hearing her father’s voice saying “I’ll be back,” in your head, listen up. If you’ve got a daughter – maybe even if you just are a daughter – you’ll relate to a lot in her hot pink and purple book. I’m interviewing Katherine tomorrow about her book at my home studio.
Only two percent of women describe themselves as beautiful. Which may mean that those women are the models you see in fashion magazines. The average fashion model is over six feet tall and weighs far less than 120 pounds. The average American woman is five feet four inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. Less than five-percent of all women have the body they see in those mags. Read the rest of this entry »

Beat Sugar Addiction Now! The Cutting-Edge Program That Cures Your Type of sugar Addiction and Puts You On the Road to Feeling Great – and Losing Weight!
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD
Published March 1, 2010 (Paperback) Fair Winds Press
Nice. I’ve got this sweet little square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with liquid caramel oozing out of the prissy little bite I’ve made to make it last longer…and I’m opening the mail. I take another bite, savoring the dark sweetness, and you know what slid out of that padded yellow envelope – Beat Sugar Addiction Now! Ah, crap! No fair!
So I swallow the last little bit, savoring that elegant sweetness, and open the book. Another teacher arriving on cue. This week I spent Read the rest of this entry »

Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
By Geneen Roth
Published March 2, 2010 (Hardcover) Scribner
There have been only two sizes of clothes in my closet for the past twenty years – fours and smalls. You may conclude that I do not need to read a book like Women Food and God. But I do.
Because inside my wicker hamper – that I bought in New York City when I was 21 and working for a fashion and beauty boutique PR agency – I have Read the rest of this entry »

Thin Thighs in 30 Days
By Wendy Stehling
Published April 29, 2010 (Paperback) Tarcher/Penguin
They called me Thunder Thighs in high school. Even though I weighed six pounds less back then than I do now, most of my weight was on my thighs.
Thin thighs? My ass!
Now, I hear that I have Dancer’s Legs. I like that better, but my thighs are still about an inch bigger around than they were last year just prior to bathing suit time. You too? What are we going to do about it! Read the rest of this entry »

Positive Mind, Healthy Heart! Take Charge of Your Cardiac Health, One Day at a Time
By Joseph C Piscatella
Published January 28, 2010 (Paperback) Workman Publishing Company
Smart that Workman published Positive Mind, Healthy Heart! the beginning of the year, at a time when most of us are open to making big changes in our life. Okay, so you laugh about New Year’s Resolutions, and how long they last. But, here’s the truth – if you make tiny changes and stick with them, the reptilian part of your brain that freaks out won’t be in charge.
That’s where Joe’s book comes in. Joseph Piscatella – I didn’t know until I read the foreword of his book – was only 32-years old when he had coronary bypass surgery. 32!!! And, this was in 1977. Guess who wrote the foreword? Read the rest of this entry »

Fat Flush For Life: the Year-Round Super Detox Plan to Boost Your Metabolism and Keep the Weight off Permanently
By Ann Louise Gittleman
Published January 1, 2010 (Hardcover) Da Capo Lifelong
I was dubious. I do not get along well with diets. They mean deprivation. They are loveless. But I tried this one anyway, mostly because I’ll try nearly anything for my career. I’ve been nose-down in a stunt plane man-made by the pilot, I’ve slept on a plywood bed (no mattress) in a 4-Star Siberian hotel, and my very first interview on video was with Mel Gibson.
So I did it. And Dr Ann Louise Gittleman and I chatted Read the rest of this entry »

The 10 Things You Need To Eat
By Dave Lieberman and Anahad O’Connor
Published January 1, 2010 (Paperback) William Morrow Cookbooks
Maybe I’m torturing myself. I’m midway through the five-day Hot Metabolism Booster diet because I’ll be interviewing Fat Flush for Life author Ann Louise Gittleman on Monday, and I chose my book of the day – The 10 Things You Need to Eat. I suppose I’m prepping myself for what comes next since I can’t go back to my Diet Coke, dark chocolate and sugarless gum. Not according to Ann Louise.
My after-dinner “snack” is the red-hot metabolism tomato drink. It is so freaking good – spicy, nutritious, filling. And, tomato is the first of the ten foods that we need to eat – that’s what Dave Lieberman and Anahad O’Connor say. Read the rest of this entry »

Fat Flush For Life
By Ann Louise Gittleman
December22, 2009 (Hardcover) Da Capo Lifelong Books
It is time.
Everything around me calls out to be decluttered and begin anew – my closet, my PC which just died, my baskets overflowing with unread magazines. And me. The wicker basket, emptied of magazines, re-emerges as my cat’s bed. She loves it, and it matches my now decluttered bedroom. The dead PC issue is being solved – it’s odd that I just felt like I should buy a Mac the last day of the year. So I did. A mere week before I needed to.
My body is next in line. It cries to me Read the rest of this entry »

Your Inner Skinny
By Joy Bauer
Published December 29th, 2009 (Paperback) William Morrow Cookbooks
It is ironic, I suppose, that as I read Joy Bauer’s newest diet book, I am assembling a lasagna, made with a recipe for sauce handed down to me from my stepfather’s Italian relatives. It’s a recipe I typed out as a kid, on a Remington typewriter on lined, holey school paper. I guess the holy part is right. It is Christmas Eve, and this lasagna is my annual menu.
But Joy’s book contains recipes I could totally eat. Things like Read the rest of this entry »

There’s something magical about the smells that fill up a kitchen when the cooking begins. Honestly, there hasn’t been much real cooking in my house since my sons graduated high school and moved in their unique directions – the younger to UC Santa Cruz, where he graduated with a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and moved on to a job in water purity, and the elder who today celebrated six months clean and sober, a real trick with that dual diagnosis of bipolar and drug addiction.
It is magical, the difference. Sobriety and celebration go hand in hand.
My younger son Read the rest of this entry »
