Review:Thank goodness for books on sex education for kids. As someone that received no information as a child/teenager, I find it challenging to talk with my daughter about this subject. This book series has been really helpful to both normalize and have open conversations about sex. I feel great about the fact that my daughter can (and does) sit for what seems like forever reading this book.
The cartoons and jokes keeps it lighthearted; which I think makes it more enjoyable to read. It covers topi... Read more

Lose More--and Keep the Weight Off - Cheat More

Review:I had heard about this book for awhile, but never got around to checking it out. I love Jackie from her shows on Bravo and know that she really knows what she's talking about. I read the entire book in one sitting the day it arrived. It really made me think about things in a different light, as they are related to my eating habits and how I view my body.
It's one of the only books that doesn't just stress how being overweight affects your health and all that- she also talks a lot about that y... Read more

The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! - The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle

Review:After finishing the Eades program I didn't lose much weight (<5 lbs) but I did lose almost 2 inches off my 51 year old middle, so I have to pronounce the experiment a success. And, if followed strictly, I would be very surprised if most people didn't have the same result. I wasn't after weight loss, I viewed this as a liver detox program. And a very intriguing one at that. The medical rationale portion of the book is very interesting and readable. Since other reviewers have gone into the... Read more

Surprising Science Reveals How We Can Exercise Better

Review:Not having the references is a HUGE problem. In the paperback edition the references to all the studies she mentioned were not cited. I listened to the audiobook and wanted to explore some of the articles she had mentioned for an upcoming presentation on childhood obesity. I bought the paperback and was astonished to discover she didn't have a bibliography. That is an unexcetable practice in healthcare. Completely discredits the book. Such a shame. Read more

The No-BS Guide to Workout Supplements (The Build Muscle

Review:Doesnt have anything you cant find online on a forum for workingout. And I find the advice of you shoukd always check with a doctor before trying something is bad advice. My doctor usually will look at me somewhat confused and then reply back to me "should be fine to take it but theyre are no miracle pills". Not what you want to hear about something you dont know about. Do the research yourself first Read more
