I thought this book was very straight forward and very exciting. you can feel the carisma she put forth into telling her story and relating it to the everyday woman.It really made me rethink the fad diets and quick weight loss plans. I couldn't put this book down once I started. It was excellent. I know I can lose weight and keep it off with just realizing what I was doing wrong and Susan helped me to see the errors.Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
Susan Powter is wonderful in her positive expression of her seething vicious angry hatred of her ex-husband. Who could ask for a more insanely bifurcated message?Book Review: Daring & Ruthless Attack on Stifling Corporate Diet Machines
Summary: 5 Stars
Those who know the contemporary icon "Susan Powter" see the motivational tigress who ruled the infomercial circuit a few years back. Not only must we retain any and all wisdom she put forth on those TV spots, we must keep "Stop the Insanity" on our bookshelves for future generations of potential victims of corporate fast-food henchman and diet fanatics who prey on the innocent Gazzellian souls whose only wish is to find peace in a society that tries to slash the very thurrock of everyman's soul, dooming it to a voyage of despair.Ms. Powter puts a literary lime twist into Kafkaesque prose, cleverly diced into motivational rants against the commercial food industry. It might look simplistic at first glance; try reading a few pages out loud, and when I say "out loud," I mean add a slightly wrung tension to your voice with a medium toned shout. The depths of such writing will reveal themselves through such spoken word, as can be done with Dylan Thomas'work, or Rod McKuen's translations of Jacques Brel's lyrics.
If we decide to gain from Ms. Powter's writings, future generations will see not a TV pitchperson but the ultimate revelator, an Amazon brave enough to crush all tools of money grubbing executives who are nothing more than suited stalagmite. "Stop the Insanity" is not just a book, it is a movement that delivers us greatest source of optimism since Norman Vincent Peale.
Book Review: Discovered this is PART of the Insanity!
Summary: 3 Stars
For many, many years, I religiously followed the low fat, high carb, soy-guzzling semi-vegetarianism espoused by the likes of Marilu Henner and Susan Powter. And with each year I got closer to morbid obesity compunded with severe hypoglycemia, stimulant addiction, [a direct result of the fatigue caused by cutting out natural fats and replacing them with grains as Marilu Henner recommends in her health "makeover." Consider the timing of the Starbucks explosions!] IBS, brain fog and depression. (Before I started cutting out fat and meat I was at my ideal weight!) This approach does NOT work and is almost entirely responsible for the obesity epidemic along with all the other new and strange [think ADD] health crises nearly universally destroying our national well being! While sure, I'd love to look like Henner or Powter, and age like them as well-I am absolutely baffled as to how that diet works for them, when science and real life examples more and more slap it right in the face.
I'd like to save others the fraction of a life you experience when your health is destroyed. BTW, I have restored my health, weight, mood, digestion and so much more by doing almost the exact opposite of what is recommended here. Those who took the time to read my review are free to follow my example or not. Thank You.
