The
Nutribase Nutrition Facts Desk Reference
by Art, Dr. Ulene, Ed Prestwood
Amazon.com
The word "diet" means more than eating less. It's
cutting down on some factors (fat, usually), and getting enough of others. If
you're serious about eating healthfully and losing weight, you need more than a
list of calories: you need a reliable source of comprehensive dietary
information. That's where Nutrition Facts comes in. Within its pages are more
than 40,000 entries that list everything from abalone to zucchini--raw foods,
fast foods, and brand names included. For each item Art Ulene presents calories,
protein, carbohydrates, sodium, fiber, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, percent
of calories from fat, plus vitamins and minerals. He takes the guesswork out of
healthful eating, and provides the wherewithal for you to follow through on your
laudable intents.

Timesaver:
Lift Weights to Lose Weight (1998)Video
Amazon.com
Health and fitness experts are exhorting us to incorporate weight training
into our fitness programs--it's especially important for women for building bone
density, but the truth is that working with weights increases your metabolism
(are you listening? this means more fat-burning) all day. As with the cardio
workout, Smith has designed two 20-minute workouts; on hectic days, doing the
first alone is plenty, and on other days doing both programs will combine to
help you see fast results. The movements are basic (including the all-important
single-arm rows, key to building back muscles and keeping posture correct), and
the delivery inviting and completely unintimidating. If you've been thinking of
beginning a weight program, this (and a couple of sets of inexpensive hand
weights) is really all you need to get started. Smith and crew will leave you
pumped. --Anne Hurley
Jane
Fonda's Low Impact Aerobic Workout,Video
Tencton@aol.com
from NYC, USA , March 14, 1999 
One of Jane's Best Workouts!
This is one of Jane's best workouts. The 35 minutes of low impact aerobics is
very intensive yet not difficult. You can master it very easily, and the
optional use of wrist weights adds intensity and toning to your arms while doing
great aerobics. What also makes this a great tape is the excellent stretching,
especially at the end. They are very helpful and relaxing. Jane makes this video
very well, which is great to do if you can't do a half hour of high impact
aerobics like in her other earlier tapes. I highly recommend this!
Yoga
Journal's Yoga Practice for Relaxation, Video
Amazon.com
You can't help but let stress slide away if you unwind with this video of
restorative yoga poses that replenish your body's energy and rejuvenate your
spirit. Restorative means you're not working your body, but
"undoing, allowing nature to restore you ...[and] the healing powers of
yoga to reveal themselves to you," explains Patricia Walden, who teaches
the first 30-minute session of resting poses. Your body is supported by props,
such as folded blankets, a bolster, or a wall, so the stretches are not intense.
The poses are taught slowly and quietly, with plenty of time to sink into each
pose, open the joints, and relax the muscles. The second 30-minute session,
taught by Rodney Yee, emphasizes forward bends, often sitting on the floor in
various positions, with your forehead and arms resting on a chair for support.
The instruction throughout the video is clear, complete, and patient. The whole
experience is relaxing: with the instructors' soothing voices and the gentle
music in the background, there's no rush to leave each pose. --Joan Price
