Title: Stress Kills
Review: The one value of this book is that it alerts "apple-shaped" women, who are carrying fat around the waist, that they need to make lifestyle changes if they want to avoid chronic illness.The author makes the point that stress causes the body to store fat around the midsection, but then takes the approach that the fat is the problem instead of the stress that created the weight gain. Could it be that you need to manage your stress and then think about losing weight?Further, the diet she advises for apple types is high in grains and fruit, which many people don't do well on. I'm an apple type, and I do best on lots of vegetables, less grains and fruit.I would recommend The Metabolic Typing Diet instead. Also, if you are under stress, please investigate the herbs holy basil (which can help limit the negative effects of cortisol) and ashwaganda (an adaptogen). Another resource that talks about some people's issues with grains is [...].
