Summary

Stop—and even reverse!—age-related weight gain and muscle loss with the first-ever weight-loss plan specifically designed to shrink your belly, extend your life, and create your healthiest self at mid-life and beyond。

You don’t have to gain weight as you age。 That’s the simple yet revolutionary promise of The Whole Body Reset, which uncovers why standard diet and exercise advice stops working for us as we approach midlife—and reveals how simple changes to the way we eat can halt, and even reverse, age-related weight gain and muscle loss。

The Whole Body Reset presents stunning new evidence about the power of “protein timing” for people at midlife—research that blows away current government guidelines, refutes the myth of slowing metabolisms and “inevitable” weight gain, and changes the way people in their mid-forties and older should think about food。 The Whole Body Reset explains in simple, inspiring terms exactly how our bodies change with age, and how eating to accommodate those changes can make us respond to exercise as if we were twenty to thirty years younger。

Developed by AARP, tested by a panel of more than 100 AARP employees, and approved by an international board of doctors, nutritionists, and fitness experts, The Whole Body Reset doesn’t use diet phases, eating windows, calorie restriction, or other trendy gimmicks。 Its six simple secrets and scores of recipes are easy to follow, designed for real people living in the real world。 A dining guide even shows how to follow this program in popular restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks to Olive Garden。 And best of all: It works!

This book is primarily for people around 50 years old, trying to counteract the physical decline of aging - loss of muscle mass being given the most importance。By following the Whole Body Reset, you are eating protein in the proper amounts during the day and avoiding the crash & burn of carb loading by forcing your body to burn fat instead of carbohydrates to keep up a constant source of energy。This approach is a little more reasonable than strictly limiting carbs altogether。The recipes are very This book is primarily for people around 50 years old, trying to counteract the physical decline of aging - loss of muscle mass being given the most importance。By following the Whole Body Reset, you are eating protein in the proper amounts during the day and avoiding the crash & burn of carb loading by forcing your body to burn fat instead of carbohydrates to keep up a constant source of energy。This approach is a little more reasonable than strictly limiting carbs altogether。The recipes are very good and emphasize portion size and timing of meals。A good rule of thumb is to make sure the amount of protein and fiber you consume at each meal is larger than the amount of sugar or carbohydrates。This method of weight loss does not promote intermittent fasting, but does say to make your heaviest meals early in the day。Drinking adequate amounts of water and exercise is of course, important, especially using weights, to build muscle。 I especially liked the kale smoothie recipe and use that for one of my meals。I have not lost more than 5 - 6 lbs at this time, but the diet is for a 12 week period and I have only been following it for 4 weeks (with 1 week of vacation in between!) However, I wanted to post a review close to the publication date。The Whole Body Reset method is not totally new or groundbreaking, but it does seem to be a sensible way to live a more healthy life。I have reviewed a digital copy and will probably purchase a hardback version of this book so I can have easy access to the recipes。 。。。more

New health and diet books are written for 20 and 3o year olds。 The vast majority of Americans are over 50 and need help。 As we age things slow down and our health concerns are different。 Someone younger may be dieting for that bikini but when we age we are trying to keep our muscle mass and flexibility while losing stubborn fat all while our bodily systems are getting slower。 Who better than AARP to know what we need? This is a forever method to give you body the fuel it needs, cut the crap out New health and diet books are written for 20 and 3o year olds。 The vast majority of Americans are over 50 and need help。 As we age things slow down and our health concerns are different。 Someone younger may be dieting for that bikini but when we age we are trying to keep our muscle mass and flexibility while losing stubborn fat all while our bodily systems are getting slower。 Who better than AARP to know what we need? This is a forever method to give you body the fuel it needs, cut the crap out of your diet and get moving。 We can age better, be mobile longer and keep our minds sharp by resetting our body。 I have been following the principals of getting the necessary protein and fiber with my meals and feel so much better。 I have more energy and have lost belly fluff。 This plan is amazing and sustainable for life。 。。。more

Outstanding! This book offers a practical, evidence-based, and sustainable approach to nutrition for middle age and beyond。 While it is targeted to those 50 and older (a demographic that has not historically been the focus of nutrition research), it is absolutely appropriate for those in their 40s。 No special foods are required, and nothing is strictly prohibited (though, not surprisingly, surgery drinks, white bread, and fried potatoes are not recommended as part of your daily diet)。 Also, this Outstanding! This book offers a practical, evidence-based, and sustainable approach to nutrition for middle age and beyond。 While it is targeted to those 50 and older (a demographic that has not historically been the focus of nutrition research), it is absolutely appropriate for those in their 40s。 No special foods are required, and nothing is strictly prohibited (though, not surprisingly, surgery drinks, white bread, and fried potatoes are not recommended as part of your daily diet)。 Also, this approach is completely adaptable to any diet and lifestyle: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc。 Here’s what’s different: New science shows that our metabolism does NOT slow down until about age 60, and even then the decrease each year is minimal (。07%)。 However, we don’t absorb or as efficiently use nutrients as we get older and this causes loss of muscle mass over time。 Loss of muscle mass leads to weight gain (in particular, belly fat), which is correlated with loss of mobility, several chronic diseases, and premature death。 Bottom line: You’ve got to preserve that muscle! To do that, it is important to eat at least 25 grams of protein (which helps to build and maintain muscle) at every meal—and, no, you cannot do as most Americans and just eat all that protein at the end of the day with dinner because the body cannot process more than about 30-40 grams at a time。 You also need to eat at least 5 grams of fiber at each meal and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables。 And, you absolutely must do some form of resistance training, whether that be lifting weights or doing bodyweight-only exercises (e。g。, yoga, pilates)。 I started weight lifting a year ago and began following a nutrition plan similar to what’s presented in this book about 6 months ago and was able to lose all my COVID weight (between 10-15 pounds) and, at 43 years old, become the fittest I’ve ever been。 However this book made me realize that I need to eat a bit more protein at each meal, and that I don’t always eat enough in general, so those are changes I have started to make, and I’m already noticing that I have more energy。The only reason this book does not get 5 stars is that there is quite a bit of repetition。 I’m certain that it is intentional, and it does help to cement the ideas presented in the book, but it also makes for somewhat clunky writing。 4。5 stars。 。。。more

It is really so difficult to review a weight loss book when you haven't really had a chance to put it into action。 What I WILL say is that much of the information made perfect sense to me (as I am definitely in their target market)。 As we get older, some of the information that targets younger people may not necessarily work。 I already follow some of this advice and yes it has worked wonders。 I plan on getting my husband on board and following the eating plan more closely and definitely adding m It is really so difficult to review a weight loss book when you haven't really had a chance to put it into action。 What I WILL say is that much of the information made perfect sense to me (as I am definitely in their target market)。 As we get older, some of the information that targets younger people may not necessarily work。 I already follow some of this advice and yes it has worked wonders。 I plan on getting my husband on board and following the eating plan more closely and definitely adding more movement。 Is the information new? Perhaps not but I found it educational and enlightening。 3。5 stars 。。。more

Breezy, fun tone; science seems reasonable。 I’ve only read it, though—haven’t tried out what it says。 If the recommendations pan out, I’ll come back and re-review (I pinky-swear!)。

This took a whole lot of pages to basically say eat healthy foods, but add more protein at breakfast。 This information was shared over and over。 There were some good recipes at the end, though。
