Jumpstart Your Metabolism : How To Lose Weight By Changing The Way You Breathe
Bonnie avatar reviewed on + 422 more book reviews


The author, a travel writer, is well-known in the world of self-help and metaphysical writing. While I enjoyed her "gratitude=manifesting=riches" (my words) books, this falls a bit short. Maybe because I am an expert on dieting/body stuff already and she does cover a lot of that, obviously, in a book that claims your breath can help you lose weight without dieting. She is not the first to proclaim this, as Tony Robbins, the famous self-help guru said he lost 40 pounds (?) years back by changing his breathing methods, and Alan Finger, a world reknowned yoga teacher (founder of Yoga Zone) claims a 100 pound loss doing the same. A very quick, interesting read, with some good advice on how changing our breathing can change our lives, if not help us to lose weight.
