Body with Soul by Randy Jackson

Did anyone know that Randy Jackson has a new book out titled Body With Soul:  Slash Sugar, Cut Cholesterol and Get a Jump on Your Best Health.  Hmmm.  Here’s the book description:

Mixing memoir, a wellness program, and inspirational advice, Randy Jackson’s book is a work of personal passion. The American Idol judge’s struggles with his health and weight have been well- documented; he’s tried every diet, spent countless hours in gyms, and even had gastric bypass surgery in 2003. Now, he’s taken all that he’s learned throughout these trials and codified their strengths into an easy-to-follow, super-useful maintenance regimen, filled with meal plans (drawn from the accompanying recipes for healthy versions of down-home Southern favorites), exercise routines, and inspiring stories from his unique life as one of the music business greats.

With his New You Plan, Randy Jackson aims to focus on the epidemic of obesity-related disorders like hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes—as a Type II diabetic himself, he knows that this effort is now more crucial than ever. Straight from the “dawg pound” this is Randy at his most passionate and at his most persuasive, all in the effort to make America “a’ight” once again.

Okay…when folks write non-fiction, self-help books, I assume that they’re an expert or practicing what they’re preaching. I’m happy that Randy has decided to write about to help others make better decisions about eating and implementing behavior modification to a healthier lifestyle.  But…has Randy Jackson lost more weight since we last saw him on American Idol?  QQ.  I’m just asking.

    I like books in which the author talks to us from his or her own life rather than the more anonymous self-help books in which we are simply told what to do. This sounds like a gem.

    I suspect Randy continues to struggle but has decided to share his learnings with the rest of us. Heck, if I had his platform, I’d do the same given all I’ve learned about weight loss over the years even if still I struggle to put it all together.
