BEYOND THE BOOKSTORE: THE DANIEL PLAN by Rick Warren, Daniel Amen M.D., Mark Hyman M.D.
THE DANIEL PLAN by Rick Warren, Daniel Amen M.D., Mark Hyman M.D.
The best way to explain The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life is a lifestyle makeover how to. I am not by any stretch of the imagination a “diet professional” thus it was the title that attracted my attention. That said if I wanted to lose a few pounds this is the book I would choose to read.
The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life reads more like a motivational book than a health and nutrition guideline. The first few chapters are dedicated to establishing the proper mindset for wanting to lose weight. Yet, these foundational words are more than preparation for weight loss it is the basis of changing the way the reader does life.
Understanding the five “F’s”: faith, food, fitness, focus and friends help the reader realize the ultimate goal which is a lifestyle adjustment which will lead to a healthier person.
Admittedly I cannot tell you if the precepts were successfully for me since it takes more than a day of reading to make the necessary adjustments. What I can tell you is that the basis of The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life is solid and well worth investigating. It is my intention to incorporate the principles introduced and the suggestions presented into my own life which means the book is well worth the read.
I was provided a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest opinion.
