 |
Review
Summary |
The Prism Weight Loss Program is a book by Karen Kingsley that is not so much a diet book, but a guidebook on how to transform one’s life through Biblical principles and new eating strategies. It is a faith-based book that has been used by many people to break the cycle of food addiction in their lives. |
| Concept At A Glance |
|
The book includes testimonials that, judging by the accounts from various customer reviews, are genuinely moving, including the author’s own story. People struggle with food addictions and bad eating habits and are, according to this book, able to use biblical principles to turn their lives around. The book also contains details of the program, with instructions on how to locate a local support network. A big theme of the book is that people need to become what the Lord created them to be and this program is part of that road. A recipe section is also included to provide readers with a way to make the program a practical reality.

People who are faith based will delight in having biblical support in their quest for weight loss

People who are not faith-based may not derive the same feeling of gratitude that others experienced with this book, and so they may not achieve the same level of success
It is not clear if the book addresses the fitness end of a healthy lifestyle at all
Not every community is going to have a local resource for people to turn to for guidance

| Final Thoughts |
|
This is the type of book that Christians and other faith based people just love. It allows them to feel connected to other people by reading the details of struggles that are similar to their own, and it shows them how God is concretely available to them in this area of life. Specific biblical references that aid them in becoming the person God meant them to be will be priceless to them. The book is based on long term lifestyle changes and forming new patterns, so the old habits will not cause them to put the weight right back on. Whether people who are not faith based would derive the same pleasure from the book is unclear.
People looking to lose weight should consider finding a healthy eating plan that they like and can live with long term. You should also exercise each day by doing an activity that is fun and enjoyable. Water is extremely important too, and dieters need a lot of it to stay hydrated and to keep their bodies free of toxins. Finally, try the addition of a supplement specifically designed to help with weight loss. Be sure that the product you choose includes the two key elements all effective diet products need; a fat-burner to rid the body of excess weight on the arms, hips, belly, thighs and buttocks, and an appetite suppressant to help control caloric intake and keep cravings at bay. Many good intentions are ruined by cravings that take us over and sabotage our dieting efforts. If you combine all these elements, along with patience and diligence, you will see the pounds come off.
