Perfect Weight: The Complete Mind/Body Program for Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight (Perfect Health Library)

Book review by Jane
Rourke, who has written a review for Book Reader’s Traverse and is a former roommate of Joel’s, recommended this book to me. This book helps greatly with the emotional side of eating. There is quite a bit of advice on how to condition yourself in such a way that the food you eat is not as important as the attitude you take, or getting yourself to rethink how you feel about things. There is good advice on Ayurveda, the Indian school of ancient medicine, as well. It is interesting to see how there are different characteristics within a person that should be considered when medicating someone, not only the characteristics of the medicines. The Ayurveda categorizes these body type characteristics and considers them when dealing with health problems, including obesity and overweight. Anyway, it was an interesting read, which comes across as common sense when it comes to diet and exercise, based on the body type of the person. Also, it uses common sense when talking about how to eat fresh, cooked foods that taste good. I liked the quizzes that tell you what type of body you have, and the Yoga exercise that is included.
