EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description The pile of recent dieting books is growing faster than the average American's waistline. From the well-known programs that deprive and restrict to ones that rely on juice alone, it seems that everybody has an answer to the growing problem of obesity.When Jon Gabriel's life took an unexpected turn, he suddenly was awakened to the marvelous gift that he had been given -- the opportunity to live -- and was disgusted at how he had treated his body. At over four hundred pounds, walking, sleeping, and working was a struggle against gravity, and his life was a constant battle between emotional and physical satiation. He was slowly killing himself with food.Like the estimated 58 percent of Americans, and rising numbers in other countries, Jon was trapped in what he came to call the FAT - Famine and Temperature - trap. By studying biochemistry, Gabriel learned that your body has an internal logic that determines how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to struggle or to force yourself to lose weight but to understand this internal logic and work with it so that your body wants to be thinner. When your body wants to be thinner, weight loss is inevitable and becomes automatic and effortless. You simply crave less food, you crave healthier foods, your metabolism speeds up and you become very efficient at burning fat, just like a naturally thin person. And that's the real transformation -- to transform yourself into a naturally thin person, so that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and still be thin, fit, and vibrantly healthy.After reading The Gabriel Method, you will learn:Your body has a reason why it's holding on to weight--and it's not your fault.Fat is a cushion--a protective barrier that our mind believes is helping to protect us. If you can change that belief, you can change your body; Stop the cycle of crash dieting and start eating what you want, when you want it.How to choose healthy, nutritious foods that nourish the cells in your body, not starve them.Delicious shakes and smoothies, and super-power supplements, that can jump start your success.The simple way you can train your mind and body to work with your goal of health, not against it.Eliminate the emotional and mental reasons your body holds on to weight in just 10 minutes a day.It certainly worked for Jon; he lost 225 pounds in two-and-a-half years, going from 409 pounds to 184, without suffering, dieting, or anguishing over his body. Unlike most people who lose an extensive amount of weight, his skin tightened up and now is indistinguishable from that of a person who has been healthy his whole life. |

| This book works. Believe it. by K. Larson (Kent, WA United States) 5 Stars November 02, 2009 I love reading the few negative comments, "haven't read it but he's wrong...calories in calories out....diet and excercise...just too woo woo for me....when I saw the part about all the supplements??????????????????Jon is almost anti-supplement!
Let me tell you, it works. My wife and I have been trying to lose that last 20lbs for years. I can't tell you how great we feel now, and guess what? I still drink too much beer, eat a bacon cheeseburger when I want one, or pretty much anything I want, and did it by adding what my body needs to tell it it is OK. Visualization and positive attitude are a must. If you are the kind of person that writes a negative review on a book you haven't read and a diet you haven't tried, an expert that sticks his nose up in the air because that's not what SCIENCE has taught us, or so closed minded that you can't realize what a huge part belief plays in who we are, yet can be changed very easily through positive meditation, please do not buy this book. Jon is not a doctor or scientist, he went to those guys and got fatter, their wallets did too. He believes that which serves him and works for him. How do your negative beliefs serve you? They don't. Maybe someday you'll get to tell all of us skinny people "I told you so, Jon was wrong about ___________." Have fun being fat then. You can be right and fat, and that's OK.
It truly is not a diet of "I cant's." You must get what your body NEEDS to shut off the fat storage and stop the cravings for empty calories. The trigger to switch this off is nutritional(good healthy lipoproteins and real food)and what you believe about yourself. 3-5 times a day you must have good assimilable proteins (not soy or heavily processed meats) with healthy raw fats and live raw uncooked produce. You need digestive enzymes and probiotics for proper digestion because these things are no longer existent in our food. That's his only supplement recommendation. Of course you need to avoid fast sugars and carbs, in favor of ones that hit the bloodstream slower. Do a little research on the glycemic index. Probably want to dump that Big Gulp out. He says get out in the sun each day which we only see 4 months a year where I live, but I supplement vitamin D which I believe, and science is FINALLY coming around to is absolutely vital. When you do these things the crazed food cravings are gone. I can't even stand the smell of a deep fryer anymore. I still like my pizza and beer, yet my wife and I weigh what we did at 18. After our kids were born we were both overweight but not obese, and diet and exercise never got rid of the last 20 lbs. The only other thing to do is VISUALIZE. Get a picture of you at your best weight or someone of your body type you admire and see yourself looking like that every day in your mind. Its that easy. Yes this is a simple book. It ain't hard! Yes it may go against somethings you believe, but isn't that the problem in the first place! Would you rather be fat and right, or skinny and wrong. Believe what serves you.
Diet and exercise is BS and if any of you professionals out there are telling your obese clients to start a rigorous exercise program like the big boys I see at the gym, stop it. Walking to and from your car at work for an obese person is a LOT of exercise. If you don't believe me put on a hundred pound pack and give it a try all day. You are begging for an injury setback when you do this. Go for a long walk everyday, do low impact stuff sure, but save the aerobics for when you feel good, strong and able. Diet restrictions just make your body even more sure that it needs more fat, and causes you to crave anything that will accomplish that. When your body needs air you breath, when it craves salt you go nuts with the salt shaker, and when it wants to store fat you wake up in the middle of the night with chocolate cake all over your face. Your body will get what it wants every time. Pushing diet and exercise is humiliating to an obese person, if you really believe that nonsense, just tell them "hey you are a crazy glutton and a sloth you lazy pig" because that is what it really means. You need to feel good about yourself to lose weight, and this book and CD set will be a revelation for you.
I think that most of what he says about diet has been known by some for a very long time, but didn't get mainstream because there really isn't any money in it. Dr. Johanna Budwig had huge success over 50 years ago with cancer patients and other serious illness. Primarily fat free cottage cheese whipped up with flax oil and freshly ground flax seed and live food. This is the bricks and mortar of what your cells are made. You get sick when your body makes retarded cells out of that potato bacon bomb you just ate. Why have you never heard of this? Nobody could make any money off it. Instead we have the colossal failure of allopathic medicine. You know what the best vegetable protein/fat combo in the world that you can entirely live on is? Hemp seed! It's more legal to grow stoner weed in your yard in some states than it is to grow industrial no-THC hemp producing the most perfect human food known, and importing it adds massively to the costs. Wake up people. Healthy lipoproteins (omega 3/6/9 in the proper proportions bonded to proteins containing all of the essential amino-acids)and daily vitamin D, and something real, live, from the produce section. Stop living on soda pop, and get something without an ingredient label, cause it is what it says it is. Then go eat a chocolate cake or a potato-bacon bomb if you still want that. Your body won't store it anyway, and the energy might make you go for a walk. When you are at you're ideal weight you'll find that you just don't eat that much anymore, and food ain't runnin' your life anymore. If you can't figure out how to do that give up. The rest of you, go buy this fantastic book and get started. Change your life. Whew.

| | The Gabriel Method by Gail Magdanz-patterson (Aurora, Il) 5 Stars November 01, 2009 On an earlier date, I reviewed this book and there was a cd with it.. I was hoping for the same this time .. However, I got what was advertised the second time and that was just the book ...Book is great and so was the service ..
| | Good Service by Thomas P. Mcdonald (Evanston, IL USA) 5 Stars October 09, 2009 Book was new, if it wasn't, I could not tell. Product arrived quickly with no problems. Thanks for the good service. I enjoyed the book.
| | The Gabriel Method: The Revolutionary DIET-FREE Way to Totally Transform Your Body by Mrs. Patricia H. May (Virginia) 4 Stars October 02, 2009 This book deals with a totally different view of the diet industry. Changing your thinking of food. Some have mentioned to me this very idea, and it makes sense, but where do you go for this kind of help? Hypnosis may work for some but not all people. Jon makes it seem so simple and easy. The hard part is trying to implement his ideas into practice. But he gives you the tools to actually do it. I wished I knew his techniques long ago to just eat the way he did, without guilt.
He tells us to eat whatever we want whenever we want, but to also add in some real whole food as well, visualize you body the way you would want to look, and to be at peace with yourself and your choices.
The program sounds so easy. After programs telling us that we can't eat this and that, it will take a while to get on track with this program. Maybe the peace we could feel would help us to finally lose the weight.
| | The Gabriel Method by Nancy E. Martin (Dallas, TX) 5 Stars September 28, 2009 This is a fantastic book! Every human being needs to read this as it is addressed to all. If you don't need to loose weight, then you know someone who does. Reading this book will help your best friend, Mother, Father, Brother or Sister etc. The condition of the book was exactly as described and the amount of time it took to get it, was very reasonable. Thanks so much for a smooth transaction! Enjoy the day!
