In his book Zeus Defied, Rez Khan reveals his weight loss secrets in a straightforward plan so that readers can set themselves free from unwanted pounds. He uses the progression of time to his advantage and forgoes the quick style approach that many programs solicit to the public.

The title does not indicate that this material contains solid facts on nutrition and the corruption of our food supply with processed chemicals. The author utilizes a Greek metaphor from start to finish to emphasize that our society offers the same repetitive advice wrapped up in glittering packages that promise results that leave individuals worse off than when they began.

There are nine phases that he depicts through easy to read charts and substantial scientific evidence to support his conclusions. His testimony of how he has incorporated these into his daily routine to give him freedom from obesity is the platform from which he speaks. Interestingly, the author does not start with what is on your plate, but he begins with what is on your mind. The material was written based on two ideas: "You are what you eat," and "You are what you think." Mr. Khan details his struggles with food addiction, and while some of it has to do with the ingredients of the meal contributing to overeating, he also wants his audience to realize that our diet and unhealthy lifestyles are based on habits and mental attitudes toward food. When these two forces work in tandem, it makes it difficult to get rid of unwanted fat and maintain healthy body weight.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this approach because it takes into account that most of us have good intentions at the onset of a change, but then a few weeks into our transformation, we find ourselves falling back into the same routine that we were so frustrated with that prompted us into action. It's a vicious cycle that people are trapped in as they grasp onto the latest fad and continue to make absolutely no progress. While most of what is pandered are expensive options that require the addition of outside help to achieve a goal, this guide focuses on the idea that all of us can make subtle changes by way of habit. The mission is to make healthy eating a way of life much similar to how much thought you put into brushing your teeth or making your bed in the morning. Without the added mental stress, the author believes that those who subscribe to this will make a lifelong adjustment for the better.

I found this book to be professionally edited without any errors to note. It would most likely appeal to those who find themselves looking to revamp their nutritional intake and exercise regime in a way that moves at a slow pace. The information in this is useful, so even those who are living robustly might find some advice to incorporate into what they are already doing. If you are used to moving at a quicker speed or have no interest in health and nutrition, then this one isn't for you. I am giving this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars for its authentic approach to exposing the underlying forces that work against weight loss and how to have victory once and for all.

The book seems like it takes the reader step by step through the regulation of their nutritional intake (what with the nine phases he offers as part of his advice), and looks to be a good starter to self-help Thank you for your thorough review!

His personal experience plus a systematic analogy.. Thus sounds very interesting! I can't deny that I got so captivated by the title alone!!

Beautiful expository here... Thank you!!

Perfect book for a perfect reader who likely to be perfectly physically fit. An step by step moves that one of a reader can apply to themselve.

[kandscreeley]

The book was certainly not what I was expecting from the title. Far from it, actually. I have no use for this book at the moment, but I do appreciate your review. Thanks.

I like the concept the author takes to weight loss. I always think that gradual, mild change is the best approach. Don't try to change your whole lifestyle in one fell swoop. I agree it is "mind over matter." Your mindset is what will guide you to a healthy life. Excellent review. I'm glad to see a book providing advice about weight loss and living healthy is worthy of 4 stars.

A dieting book that helps one to lose weight gradually and keep it sounds inspiring. I like this approach to dieting. Using nine phases to lose weight sounds like a good method. A guide that focuses on the idea that "all of us can make subtle changes by way of habit" sounds original. That the book was well edited is another plus. Thank you for the review!

[Misael Carlos]

This is good news to those who are unable to have their ideal weight. Informational books are always welcome to readers. Congrats!

[Theresa Moffitt]

I am interested in nutrition and health and look forward to reading this book. The 9 phases approach provides a new perspective that I would like to understand and possibly incorporate into my daily life. Thank you for the review

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

This is a non fiction book on healthy dieting and exercise. I do not usually read books from this genre but the OnlineBookClub review was suprisingly convincing. The book is free on Amazon Kindle and Congrats on being the BOTD.

[Ruba Abu Ali]

Applicable weight loss measures and letting off the blame of the patients are important principles in dieting. Thanks for the thorough and enlightening review.

I'm not currently in need of a weight management book. I do like that this book is organized and edited. I also like that it uses a mythology metaphor throughout the book.
