A Pound of Cure was written by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon, who has identified a style of eating that can bring about the same metabolic changes seen after gastric bypass surgery. The shifts in your metabolism that block hunger and prevent weight-loss plateaus after surgery can be obtained by focusing your diet on nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables. The style of eating outlined shows you how to use food to control hunger, eliminate cravings, and prevent the slowdown in your metabolism that plagues typical starvation diets.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Great Information on the Gastric Sleeve
Would you listen to The BIG Book on the Gastric Sleeve again? Why?
Absolutely! This book is packed in with great information on the Gastric Sleeve. For me, it has given me advanced knowledge of the physical and the emotional side of having this procedure done as well as explaining everything that I will encounter as I go through the process.
What did you like best about this story?
I really like the four or five personal stories from actual patients. I am glad that they included the good and the bad in this book.
What about Pam Dougherty’s performance did you like?
Very soothing speaker. I listened to this mainly while driving and I could understand her very well.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Everything you EVER wanted to know and MORE on the Sleeve!
Any additional comments?
The only time I got bogged down in the book was in a small part when it got really technical on the topics of measuring food and the exercises. It was still informative but there isn't really anyway to get around the technical part. Appreciated the audible version because I might have skipped it if I had read it in the physical book.

Will never know. It doesn't work on my Kindle Fire
Will never know. It doesn't work on my Kindle Fire. Not sure why they let you sign up when it's impossible to access.
