WHAT I THINK OF THE BOOK?
First of all, I would like to thank JJ Smith for the opportunity to share my views about her new book where she tells all about her tips and advices on how to lose weight with natural ways and eating natural foods. It's true with some of the false advertising with certain foods. Always read the labels and nutritional facts. I really enjoyed reading the section where she talks about good carbs and bad carbs.

The more nutritional food we eat, the better our body will function. I'm sure most of you already know about that. JJ goes in detail and explains about what types of food that is good for you and what types of food that are unhealthy. For example: Citrus fruits aid the body in flushing out toxins and jumpstarting the digestive tract with enzymatic processes. Sometimes there are things that you probably didn't even know and makes you wonder.

In her new book, you will learn how to...
• Detoxify the body for fast weight loss
• Drop pounds and inches fast, without grueling workouts or starvation
• Lose up to 15 pounds in the first three weeks
• Shed unwanted fat by eating foods you love, including carbs
• Get rid of stubborn belly fat
• Trigger your 6 fat-burning hormones to lose weight effortlessly
• Eat foods that give you glowing, radiant skin
• Eat so you feel energetic and alive every day
• Get physically active without exercising

In her new book Lose Weight Without Dieting or Working Out, Nutritionist and certified weight loss expert JJ Smith says you have to be really careful when shopping at the grocery store.

Why? Diet foods can make you fat.

“Many products,” she says, “are allowed to use the word ‘diet’, because they have some reduced amount of sugar or fat. But unless you look really carefully at all the ingredients, you won’t be able to identify all the hidden ones that can contribute to weight gain.”

She’s come up with a quick list of the reasons why anyone who is trying to slim down needs to avoid certain diet foods:

Sugar-free baked goods

Read the labels carefully! They can have the same or even more fat than the original recipes! You may also be fooled into eating so many because they were labeled as “diet” that you exceed your daily goals without even realizing it. Try graham crackers instead. They have less sugar than other cookies and very little fat, about 2 grams per serving.

Fat-free dressings

Most fat-free dressings are really higher in sugar, which basically just defeats the whole purpose of eating a fat free food. Read the label carefully. Select a reduced fat dressing that contains olive or canola oil that has 2 to 4 grams of fat per serving.

Diet Sodas

Contain artificial sweeteners that can cause health problems and have no nutritional value. When the body finds nothing recognizable as nutrition, it continues to crave something nutritional, which increases cravings and appetite. They can create food cravings for sweets. Drink water or green tea instead of diet soda.

Fruit Snacks

Don’t be fooled by packaging claims that say it is ‘made with real fruit or fruit juices’! They are packed with added sugars and artificial ingredients that have little or no nutritional value. Read the label and see the grams of sugars and the amount of carbohydrates and fat. Eat real fruit instead, which is rich in fiber, phytonutrients, and cancer fighting anti-oxidants!

High-protein Diet Bars (Power Bars) and Shakes

When the body receives a protein or power bar, it tries to break down the sugar and chemicals in it, but when they cannot be fully digested by the body, the excess ends up being stored in the body as fat. This excess can actually produce a weight gain instead of a weight loss. It’s better to eat a vegetable like avocado, which is healthier and high in protein.

Artificial Sweeteners

Those little yellow, pink and blue packages – the ‘sugar substitutes’ may have zero calories, but don’t be fooled. They increase appetite by sending false signals to the brain that sweet food is on the way, and when it never arrives, the brain never gives the signal that you are satisfied causing cravings for sweets. There’s research that shows that aspartame in particular, stimulates the release of insulin, which tells the body to store fat! Bottom line – they actually contribute to weight gain.



“The best alternative,” JJ says, “is to limit or avoid these foods! Drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. You’ll feel better, lose more weight, and enjoy what you eat more too.”
