Weight Watchers Coach Approach. How to Motivate the Thin You

This book should be required reading for anyone who recently joined Weight Watchers or is thinking of joining. I found this book to be more than helpful. This book is filled with quizzes, check-ins and wonderful advice. It also has recipes. There is a chapter related to every area of fitness plus a great chapter about biulding a transitional wardrobe. There are menu ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Ive really enjoyed this book. My only regret is not buying this book sooner.

If you are a weight watchers member, you definetly should read this book. We all need motivation no matter if we just started, or have been a lifetime member. It is always good to keep feeding your mind with nutritional information, and ways to help you stay motivated at loosing weight.

By giving up my coffee habit I realized having that wired up feeling all day clouded my concentration. Did you know one cup of joe raises your blood pressure by 14pct.. Fortunately for me I was able to find a wonderful tasting replacement made from soyabeans. You brew like coffee and it even helps lower my cholesterol.

I was surprised by how much I liked it. I had feared itd simply be a lot of rah-rah W.W. fluff. On the contrary, it was a globally useful, general information/motivation book. Experiences last longer than flavors and no one but me puts food in my mouth. Lots of information on how to make INCREMENTAL changes in food quality/quantity and body movement. Lots of detailed info on things like types of fats, a very fair analysis of almost every type of weight loss method, and overcoming emotional challenges. Ive read a lot of diet books in general... this ones a keeper and was definitely worth the money. 150 pgs of info, 100 pgs of recipes, 15 pgs of daily goal charts.

This is not a fad diet book. There are no quick fixes or extreme measures promoted in this book. This is a book for people who are serious about long-term weight maintenance. It is about making lasting changes in the way you eat, the way you think, the way you exercise, and the way you look at yourself. Using proven methods of long-term weight loss, the authors provide an abundance of information and exercises designed to help you make the lasting changes that will enable you to be successful.

The only part of this book that was not helpful for me was the recipe section at the end. Most of the recipes were not what I would normally eat. Items such as Lemon-Lime Swordfish with Mango Salsa or a Chocolate Egg Cream are just not things I would normally prepare.

I was given this book over the weekend as a birthday gift. As a Weight Watchers member and group leader, I am so excited about this book. It will not only help me keep off 56 1/2 pounds, but will be an invaluable resource to share with the group that I lecture.

I have been a WW leader for over 15 years and a member since 1975. I was sure that there was nothing in this book that would be new or motivating for me. I couldnt have been more wrong. This book was filled with more useful information than any single diet or nutrition book Ive read (and, believe me, Ive read them all...). Even as a leader, I hit my slumps and bumps in the road ... This book made me feel as if I were joining and embarking on new habits for the first time. It made me feel excited and enervated. Read it. You wont be sorry.

I thought the title was misleading. I thought it might be motivational in nature. It was kind of touchy-feely, get inside your head and try to figure out why you overeat. If youre into self-analysis, you might enjoy.

This book is a fantastic overview of current research and nutritional practices. Although presented by Weight Watchers, it is incredibly objective. It promotes common sense lifestyle practices while guiding the reader to search themself for the best way to meet any changes. Half of the book is devoted to educating the reader on proper nutrition and health habits and the second half is recipes. The recipes use common ingredients and most are quick to prepare. This is the best nutrition book Ive found so far.

One of the best books Ive read regarding weight loss. I am currently on the WW program and I refer to this book very often, however, I think it would be helpful for anyone, not just a WW member. Teachs concepts in an easy to read and understand format. Also includes self tests to judge readiness for lifestyle changes. This book is an excellent tool for anyone who is interested in bettering their body and attitude....

I love this book, it is full of useful information in an easy to read format (not to mention the spiral bound hardcover). You will find just about everything you could possibly want in a book about health, nutrition and excercise as well as a lot of extras such as larger-size sources a list of body-friendly clothing lines and How to build a transitional wardrobe. The book also gives differant advice to women who want to lose 10 or 25 pounds than it does to someone who wants to lose over 50 pounds. It would be a great resource for someone on the Weight Watchers program, as well as someone like me who just wanted some additional information and advice. The here is really great too,...I will never buy a book without checking Amazon first.

I love this book. I have been a Weight Watchers member for a while now, so I thought that the book would be a bit motivational, but I probably wouldnt learn anything new. I was so wrong. There is info on nutrition, exercise, weight loss drugs, the list goes on and on. The book is so interesting and motivating. It asks questions in the beginning of the book to determine weight loss readiness and to help you see where your weak points for weight loss may be and how to correct them. Also at the end of each chapter, there is a section called Something to Think About, that gives you something to think about and right those thoughts or feelings right there in the book. That really helps me. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about weight loss and living a more healthy life.

Coach Approach from Weight Watchers is a personalized weight-loss plan with information about nutrition, exercise, and motivation, and with psychological pointers to help you understand how to overcome your barriers and succeed at losing weight. First you look at whether you are really ready to lose weight through self-tests that help you examine your attitudes, eating patterns, roadblocks, body fat, and body image. You learn nutrition and exercise basics, the facts about weight-loss supplements and gimmicks, how to get the most from an aerobics class, and hints for dressing in a stylish and flattering manner. The cooking section shows you how to create a lean, mean kitchen, and includes tips for shopping. All the information is sensible, practical, and up to date. More than 70 heart-healthy recipes include traditional dishes like Quick Classic Meat Loaf and Spaghetti Bolognese, comfort foods like Peanut-Butter-Caramel Sandwiches (20 percent fat) and Chocolate Mousse (30 percent fat), and modern fare such as Sun-Dried Tomato-Tofu Dip and Lemon-Lime Swordfish with Mango Salsa. The nutritional breakdown for each recipe gives calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, calcium, and the points allotted by the Weight Watchers 123 Success program. A handy spiral binding lets the book lie flat for writing and cooking. --Joan Price--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
