I must first admit that I am not a self-help sort of reader. The books I have attempted to read that were not photography or art related, have bored me to tears. However, I actually read through this one with great ease.
There is a lot of fabulous information that should be, and in most cases is, common sense. However, in today's self-induced sugar crazes, we delude ourselves into thinking "just one more," and that "just one more" never comes to an end with sugary beverages or sweets. This is a reality check in on ourselves to open our eyes past the glazed, sugary-goodness, that we get sucked into and face what it is we are doing to our bodies, both physically and mentally.
I love how the good Doctor, is open and honest. He's not just spouting out decrees and expecting them to be followed and not abiding by them himself. And he's been there once or twice with a few of the health ditches that so many of us find ourselves entrenched in, clawing our way back out. Because temptation is so very easy to succumb to, even the healthy can get sidetracked.
Dr. Stork shows a way to finding the path out of the gutter of the anti-health foods and habits we trail behind. And I love that he's not crying out to us to "diet." That is such a horrible thought to have to do such a thing. It's like a prison sentence to so many. I used to be in the military, and I've never dieted, and although at one point I did decide (a few years after I was out) to see a nutritionist, I never dieted, and I never felt weighed down by the rules and strictures of diets.
I need to get back onto this way of thinking again, and incorporate more physical activity to my food pyramid. I love the very idea of that! Dr. Stork's presentation and past experiences (personal and in the ER with his patients) re-open our eyes to the truth of the quick deterioration we are doing to our bodies with all the sludge we consume. And the very thought of letting my doctor down every time I see her, I opted not to change something she commented on - I never looked at it that way. I will be giving her an apology the next time I meet up with her.
If you're in doubt - yes, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to change their health habits, loves someone who needs to change theirs, or for some real looks at what the current state of the American population faces - then please, have a seat, and peruse through "The Doctor Is In." I don't think you'll be disappointed. La! ~K
