Eat Fat, Be Healthy: Understanding the HeartStopper Gene and When a Low-Fat Diet Can Kill You
Simon & Schuster. 02/01/2000. 220 pgs. According to author and surviving heart-attack victim Matthew J, Bayan, some people--an estimated 20 percent of the population--are predisposed to suffer heart attacks if they follow low-fat diets. Banyan's controversial theory claims that such individuals possess the "Heart-Stopper gene," which may cause premature death if its carrier does not consume enough fat. Carriers of this gene, Bayan feels, may promote their longevity by taking specific medications, following his exercise program, and avoiding low-fat food fads.

$3.99 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $1.00 for each additional book from this seller)! Scribner. Hardcover. 0684865270 From Publishers Weekly The title of this book is misleading: Bayan's story does not give license to eat fat. Instead, it exemplifies why patients need to become their own doctors and be active in taking good care of themselves. What Americans don't know can kill them, as first-time author Bayan demonstrates in his book, which is part medical memoir and part how-to advice. Cutting out fat is recognized today as one of the keys to promoting heart health, but a low-fat diet is also a recipe for disaster for the minority of people who have the ApoB gene, which actually raises the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Bayan, a public health manager who regularly exercised, never smoked and vigilantly watched what he ate, was unaware that he had the ApoB gene (which he dubs the "Heart-Stopper") until it was almost too late. Revelation came in the form of a massive heart attack that nearly killed him at age 45. Up to 20% of Americans carry the Heart-Stopper gene, but many doctors are unfamiliar with the technology that can be used to detect it--and potentially save patients' lives. Parts of the memoir are overwritten--the drama of the situation really ought to speak for itself--but Bayan does a fine job translating medical terminology and, with a keen sense of humor, explaining how people can integrate healthy behavior into everyday life. (Feb.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Patricia A. Jones, Tulsa World newspaper "An exhortation to all of us to become better informed and more involved in our own care..." --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Book Description Eat Fat, Be Healthy: Understanding the HeartStopper Gene and When a Low-Fat Diet Can Kill You is the incredible story of one man's medical odyssey and how he came to understand a mysterious genetic condition that pushed him to the very brink of death-and how that knowledge can save your life. At forty-five, Matthew J. Bayan appeared to be in robust health. He exercised daily, ate a low-fat diet, never smoked, and avoided excess stress. But in the early hours of May 9, 1996, he was jolted awake by a massive heart attack. Rushed to a nearby hospital emergency room, Bayan was close to death; in fact, he did die -- his heart was restarted by doctors more than six dozen times. As he recovered, Bayan received the usual treatment for heart patients, which included a very low fat diet -- one that Bayan followed faithfully. But to Bayan's and his doctors' growing concern, his badcholesterol and triglyceride levels worsened on the very low fat diet. Something was clearly wrong. What Bayan discovered was that he carried the apolipoprotein B gene, a gene that could destroy his heart by triggering his system to produce more bad cholesterol on a very low fat diet than on a diet higher in certain kinds of fat. Bayan also discovered that not only he has this killer mutation, which he dubbed the "HeartStopper gene," but that an estimated 20 percent of the population carries this gene as well -- and the vast majority don't even know it. Armed with this newfound information -- of which many doctors and cardiologists are unaware even now -- Bayan took control of his own treatment. He found a new cardiologist and started on a regimen that included a diet higher in fat, medication, exercise, and stress management. As a result of their commitment and diligence, Bayan and his cardiologist have been able to keep Bayan's heart disease in check, and Bayan is healthier today than he has been in years. In Eat Fat, Be Healthy Bayan: Explains how this killer gene is identified Reveals what he and his doctor learned during their experience finding the best treatment for him Outlines the specific diet, exercises, and medications that were most effective in combating the defect Includes useful charts and easy calculations to help you determine if you are at risk -- and what to do if you are With the HeartStopper gene still largely unknown in the medical community, this inspiring book -- an exhortation to everyone to become better informed and ...Experience, Quality, Value.... . 2000.

The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom (Qty: 2)
Simon & Schuster. 09/01/2003. 336 pgs. Television's famed motivator Dr. Phil McGraw provides a seven-point plan for those who have made the decision to lose weight and keep it off permanently. This is not a book about dieting: the idea, he says, is not to count calories or fat grams or carbohydrates, but to change the ways one thinks about food. THE ULTIMATE WEIGHT SOLUTION draws on Dr. Phil's many years of working with overweight people, demonstrating his understanding of what being overweight does to people, and offering support. Well aware that there is no quick and easy way to weight loss, Dr, Phil outlines the approaches that are backed by research and that will make a lasting difference. As always with Dr. Phil, it's about results: "Get real" about fat, he counsels. "You have a decision to make!" Originally published at $26.00 You save 92% off the cover price!

Very Hungry Girl, A
Hay House Inc. 09/01/2003. 217 pgs. This memoir by motivational speaker Jessica Weiner is her touching, first-hand account of what it is like to live with an eating disorder (in her case, bulimia) and how she overcame the disease. Weiner, who later became a familiar face on the talk show circuit, describes what it was like to grow up without strong female role models and how her lack of self-esteem led her to seek perfectionism through physical denial. After the author describes the therapy that saved her, she explains how she reached out to others with the disease and helped them create a healthier attitude towards the body and the meaning of fulfillment.
