WEINSTEIN was born in Washington, D.C., grew up in Virginia and spent twenty years in Berlin, Germany; he is retired from the Army Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel with 30 years of service and spent about half of that time as a military instructor with the Command & General Staff College.

In furthering the health and wellness aspect of his military years, he started his own business "The Health Colonel Corporation" and specializes in a military-style workout on Fort Lauderdale Beach that incorporates strength, cardio, flexibility and agility training, both personal training and group sessions.
An article in Razor Magazine describes Bob "..with over 25 years of leadership experience with the military, helps civilians get into shape with his fun, challenging and energetic Beach Boot Camp on Fort Lauderdale Beach, as personal training and in group sessions. He is a catalyst for healthy and happy living. He follows the definition of health by the World Health Organization, which is defined as follows: A state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Bob is known as the Health Colonel and is a motivational speaker on topics of leadership skill training, team building, sales, fitness, nutrition, health, wellness and the importance of interrelationships of people. His experiences in the Army Reserve have given him excellent leadership skill training which he shares enthusiastically with his audiences.

His burning desire is to help others lead healthier and happier lives and reduce some of the preventable health-related suffering and deaths caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. He has just completed an audio book titled "Six Keys to Permanent Weight Loss" which is the first of a series titled "The Health Colonel Series" and plans to publish the series in print. Further, he also aspires to have his own television show one day where he can take his message about healthy living to the masses.

| Description: |
|
This straightforward, kindly volume provides a logical discussion of weight loss and the steps required to achieve and sustain it. Rippe (Heart Disease for Dummies), founder of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute (a nutrition, exercise and medical research organization), shares his own stories of weight gain and loss in the book's introduction, then spends the following 10 chapters breaking down what he identifies as the most popular weight-loss myths (e.g., "you can't lose weight and keep it off"; "you can lose weight with exercise alone"; "calories don't matterâavoid fats or carbs to lose weight successfully"; "you can boost your metabolism by what, how, and when you eat"). Each chapter includes an explanation of a myth and the kernels of truth and valid research that led to its perpetuation. Of course, the underlying basis for the book is that the way to achieve lasting, healthy weight loss is to follow the Weight Watchers method, and Rippe includes personal triumph stories from followers of that program. That quibble aside, a list of levelheaded suggestions (such as "Identify your five temptation foods. Develop specific strategies for dealing with them in a way that will reinforce learning the skill of flexible restraint") do clear away much of the confusion surrounding weight loss. (Jan.)

blahJan 09, 2007 I hated this book. I'm giving it three stars because it might be me hating self-help stuff, but this was not really what i expected. It's a feel good book and doesn't really give you specific tips or anything really weight watchers related. waste of money in my opinion.

Very good weightloss bookSep 03, 2006 The price is right and the information is very eye-opening.
I have read most of the book and it made me feel that weight loss was possible.
It was easy reading and I liked how they had it structured with the different myths of lossing weight. This is probably a re-reader to keep you focused on what is important!!!
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has weight to loose whether it is a lot of weight or just a little bit of weight.
I'm now lost almost 40lbs since mid-February. I am a real reader and believer in this book. I still have a ways to go, but will keep pulling this book out and others to keep motivated and ontrack.
You'll want to get other books to supplement this book. And keep you on track.
Best wishes on improving your life!!!! And health!!!!

Everything You Already Knew But Didn't Want to be ToldAug 29, 2006 You can forget the herbs, supplements, enzymes, and stress and fat blockers. The few prescription diet pills that work have side effects worse than the cure. If there is anything easy about weight control why do we have record obesity and more and more gastric bypass surgery? The low fat and low carb diets are just gimmicks akin to the grapefruit, boiled egg, cabbage soup and drinking man's diets. These diets may work short term, but they're not substainable. How many grapefruit can you eat and for how long? Bottom line, it's all about calories in - calories out, regardlesss of what you consume to get the calories. Losing requires a calorie deficit, more calories out than in. EXERCISE! An OK book, but really a 200+ page solicitation to join Weight Watchers.

Weight WatcherMar 24, 2006 Excellent book that will tell how to lose weight and dispel big diet myths. Learn how to lose weight and keep it off and read about some of the people that did. If you need motivation, then this is the book for you.
