Original post 10/25 ——————————————————

Ladies, it’s time to weigh-in on what our November Challenge should be. I’ve included 2 book club challenges where we would read along together and impliment the book suggestions as part of the challenge.  You will find the poll below.

Ada’s Rules: A Sexy Skinny Novel – For this challenge we would be reading about and then using Ada’s rules to help us with our weight loss. – Ada’s Rules, the story of a black preacher’s wife who has 100 pounds to lose and maybe a cheating husband provides 53 principles for a personal health and beauty revival. A funny novel about serious subjects, from diabetes and obesity to infidelity, it provides a road map that any reader can follow to create change in their own lives and in the world. And it may just be the secret weapon we need to help us all balance the national health budget. Readers will see Ada in themselves as she perseveres through the joys and pains that come with being a loving parent, daughter, wife, friend, and community member pushing for change. Join Ada’s Army. Be one of the readers shifting the shape of the future one body at a time.

Eat to Live – For this challenge we would follow the plan outlined in the book – The Eat To Live 2011 revised edition includes lots of new success stories from readers of the original book, plus a brand new chapter highlighting Dr. Fuhrman’s discovery of toxic hunger and the role of food addiction in weight issues.  This new chapter provides novel and important insights into weight gain, and explains how and why a diet of high micronutrient quality leads to the sensation of true hunger and maintenance of a healthy weight.  It instructs readers on how to leave behind the discomfort of toxic hunger, cravings, and addictions to unhealthy foods.

Other updates include:

• New recipes and meal ideas
• Inspiring success stories from people who have used the program to lose shockingly large amounts of weight and recover from life-threatening illnesses
• New and revised Frequently Asked Questions
• All references and material reviewed and updated to reflect current research and knowledge in the field of nutrition.

This easy-to-follow, nutritionally sound diet can help anyone shed pounds quickly-and keep them off.
