Atkins or Ornish?
January 10th, 2008 Posted in Book suggestionsThe diet wars continue…at least in the popular media. After the heavy carbo load of the holiday season and some visible evidence that my metabolism continues to slow down as I age, I decided to do some “light” reading, and picked up Dean Ornish’s new book out of our bestseller collection, “The Spectrum: A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight, and Gain Health.” It’s an easy read, and filled with tips for success in changing life habits for the better. Since I’m all in support of reason, evidence, and science for guiding life choices, choosing the Ornish program is a no-brainer. But that still doesn’t mean it’s easy to change. The book comes with a nice DVD with terrible videography and excellent audio track, including meditations on all kinds of topics. I’ll have it back to the library next week, if you want to modify your life using this method.
