Remember Mom's advice

There are many weight loss books available to us today. This one with its "Belt" plan is one of the easiest I have seen.

After reading the whole book, I would say the last 10 pages are the most important. The first 160+ pages are to get you motivated. If you have already decided you need/must lose weight and want easy to follow menus, then the last pages are just for you.

No calorie counting, no carb counting, or no cabbage soup, just a simple fact that most of us already know --- DRINK WATER and eat your vegetables. Get those 8 glasses your mom always said you should have. Between being full from the water and the flushing effect of putting all that water in your body (you will have to "get rid of it"), you will begin to feel better. Eating fruits and vegetables will give you lots of choices so you won't have to worry about being bored with what you are putting in your mouth.

Now comes the hard part --- doing it. Copy and post the menus on your refrigerator, take it to your bathroom mirror or better yet, get a buddy and work together. Whatever you do --- just do it.

Reviewed for Midwest Book Review

Author Alex Ong incorporates the disciplines he learned in martial arts into his guide to naturally losing weight, improving health, having more energy, boosting confidence and reducing pain. He begins by relaying the dismaying statistics about America's poor health, moving on to the worst foods and drinks Americans consume and how they negatively affect our bodies, physically and mentally. He stresses the difference between organic and processed foods and the damage processed foods can cause. He provides a Letter of Commitment for readers to sign and read twice a day. He discusses the power of positive thought; mental, physical and financial burdens of eating unhealthy; the role stress plays in our lives and ways to combat it; the importance of getting enough sleep and drinking enough water; and provides simple breathing and physical exercises to do. His color belt strategies (white, green, purple, red, and black) are simple and easy to follow as the reader progresses from eating mostly junk food to eating light and healthy.

The program Ong has devised is by far the best this reviewer has read simply because it's basic, pragmatic, and very easy to follow. No superfluous data or advice is given, providing a guide book packed with essential information readers can use as they go about their daily lives. This is one book that should be in every home.

I Also Recommend:

Healthy Living - Improved Health, Increased Energy, and Greater Confidence

"Mind Your Own Wellness" is packed with keys to discovering a healthier life-style. Tired of nicknames like "Fatty Boy" or simply "Fatty" Alex Ong shares the story of how he dramatically improved his health, increased his energy level, and attained greater confidence.

Today Alex is a professional speaker and natural health coach. He is a specialist in handling stress, weight loss, and wellness. He promotes good nutrition, physical exercise, and adequate rest as the natural steps to healthy living. He is highly recognized for his work and is endorsed by medical practitioners, holistic health, nutritionist counselors, and well known fitness advocates.

The format of book reflects Ong's unique background in the martial arts. He introduces the reader to helpful ideas and practical tips to a discipline of avoiding harmful food additives, overeating, and the indulgence of junk foods.

Ong's writing is authoritative, highly readable, compact, and designed to begin a life changing approach to attaining a healthy body and a positive attitude.

His research and quotations from a variety of source books are well documented. The diverse material recommended for additional reading provide the reader with a wealth of material for future study and for building a well balanced "Wellness Library."

"Mind Your Own Wellness" is an excellent introduction to nutrition and a good reminder to the more advanced health care advocate. The book is ideal for stimulating "Breakfast Table" conversations for creating a healthy menu and exercise plan for the day, as a motivational guidebook which results in "turning thoughts into reality" and is a ready-reference to healthy living, confidence, and happiness.

The Path to Long Lasting Results

This is not a book for quick fixes and rapid weight loss, that invariably leads to the yo-yo syndrome, causing harm to your health and your self-esteem. It's a book that leads to lasting results and a healthier "You." The person you were meant to feel and look like. Author Alex Ong spent 20 years as a "fatty," so he has been there, and done that. Ong knows all the pitfalls of listening to your "Inner Junky Voice," and also knows the way out of that pleasure/pain cycle, and how the gradual strengthening of your "Inner Healthy Voice" can bring about vibrant health and a slender body.

Page 99 has an easy to use BMI chart (no more adding and multiplying with a calculator) to find out exactly where you are in the battle of the bulge (I have found the BMI index very helpful in determining my goals). The section on breathing is excellent (Chapter 12) and something we so often forget how to do correctly...something as simple as breathing! If you choose to, there is also a 1 day a week "break" from your healthy way of eating, where you can observe how you feel, when eating according to your past habits. How you tolerate that "over full" feeling, if you are tired the following day, etc. I especially like Ong's asking us to observe our plates after we have eaten, after baked/steamed food, or deep fried and cheesy stuff. Ong has an eye-opening way to really prove the difference of the substances left on the plates on pg. 93.

There are 5 levels, or a "Color Belt" formula, which ranges from White Belt (10% healthy food, 90% junky food) to Black Belt (80% healthy, 20% junky). Menus and suggestions are given for every level, and what makes them easy to apply is that there is nothing drastic, nothing that is unrealistic to follow no matter what your lifestyle or work schedule. The key is moderation. There are no "food police" in "Mind Your Own Wellness," and the key word Ong uses often is "Minimize." Minimize the junk food gradually and you will see those lasting results. You will feel better, look better (and stop having a "Fat Closet" and a "Thin Closet," not to mention those hours we ladies spend trying on everything we own to find something we "don't look so fat in").

Ong is a great motivational writer, and has a charming and unique way of expressing himself, with an enthusiasm that is contagious, and he is an expert in how to lose weight naturally. Though I no longer need to lose weight, I'm still learning about health and diet issues; I learned a lot from "Mind Your Own Wellness," and think you will too.

No Nonsense Approach to Addressing a Worldwide Problem; Obesity etc

Alex Ong has published what feels like a personal letter to those of us who care about our health - but MIND YOUR OWN WELLNESS is instead a book that will gather a flock of readers who want a simple manner to address and change not only the burgeoning obesity tendency but also the seemingly simple steps to taking control of our minds and bodies in general. His writing style is natural, homespun, and free of preaching, yet in this little book he offers more information for the layman about the truth of organic foods, the importance of watching labels of the things we put into our systems in haste to keep up a pace of living that is in itself a deleterious, and makes common sense out of 'dieting'. Ong is not a Nutritionist selling a product line or a doctor looking to increase a following. He is instead an 'ex-fatty' who got serious about his weight and his mental activity and it is this journey he shares. His various color Color Belts for gradually altering eating habits are sound and easy to follow. This is a simple, lighthearted book that could very well help those who border on being overweight fight that battle successfully.

Reading MIND YOUR OWN WELLNESS makes the reader want to sit down and learn more from this practical health guru. Highly recommended reading for all age groups - including chubby youngsters!
