Four Stars (out of Five)
Jettison negative thinking, unhealthy diet, and sedentary ways, and voila—a new you.
The author’s enthusiasm, energy level, and sense of humor are contagious and lighten this weighty subject. David P. Morrow draws on his varied background in physiology, personal training, nutrition, body building, weight lifting, power lifting, and positive Christianity as he writes a compendium of sage advice. Everything fits neatly into his theory that outlines three components necessary to a balanced, healthy life, which leads ultimately to weight loss. Simply put, his theory consists of three links: exercising the mind, which he refers to as the “missing link”; the “fuel link” of food and proper nutrition; and the “physical link,” or exercising the body.
With few personal anecdotes, the emphasis lies on helping the reader rather than listing the author’s accomplishments. The book covers just about every concern regarding weight loss and exercise, from tips like “eat with your mouth closed,” to ways to cheat (if you must). A brief overview concerning metabolism and the effect that stress-produced hormones have on weight loss is also included.
The requisite calorie charts are provided, along with a meal planner and recipes for simple meals that take the focus off of preparation. The author also includes a sprinkling of quotations from an eclectic mix: a few Bible scriptures as well as sayings from such secular personalities as Dr. Seuss, Oprah, Aristotle, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and Mom and Dad.
Black and white photos help readers visualize proper exercise positions. Workout regime descriptions follow an easy to understand format. A portion of the exercise description applies to “unregimented exercise” such as dancing, laughing, household chores, etc. Plus, the author advocates a mixed bag of exercises such as Yoga, cardio, and strength training.
Throughout, Fat Into the Fire features a positive emphasis with succinct and fast-paced writing. For example, when speaking of mental imagery and positive affirmation, he writes, “If we have the capacity in our mind to control processes in our body, then why should we not be able to have control over our metabolism and its process? I know we can. I have been performing it on myself for almost 20 years.”
The title originated from his personal visualization of fat cells “…flowing quickly into this sea of fire and disappearing…while repeating an affirmation, ‘Fat into the fire, fat into the fire.’”
If nothing else, the quantity of quotes in the book makes it a fun and inspiring read. And the “extras” at the end of the book include a bibliography as well as recipes, tips, and food substitutes. For readers short on inspiration and information for living a balanced, healthy, and positive lifestyle, this book may provide what they need. It ends with a positive message from George Eliot: “It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

FAT INTO THE FIRE BOOK PRESS RELEASE 2008
****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE****
New Fitness Manual Sells the Whole Package
Nutrition, Exercise, Well-being Addressed in Fitness and Nutrition Expert’s Debut
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Some will tell you it’s about carbohydrates. Some will say reduced-fat. Or less dairy. Or was that more dairy? Some will tell you it’s about shakes, supplements and detoxifying drinks. Diet books will tell readers anything they want to hear, but health professionals know it’s about addressing the whole package – nutrition, exercise, lifestyle – and that’s exactly what David P. Morrow’s new health guide Fat Into The Fire (published by AuthorHouse, a division on Ingram) prescribes.
The book is comprised of three parts or “links”. Each of these links combine to make a chain of success for readers who are searching for a way to reach their goals of a healthier lifestyle. Written in conversational style, each section is also peppered with inspirational and sometimes humorous quotes from experts in the field as well as actors and comedians.
In “The Missing Links”, Morrow puts in plain words what he believes is missing from all other diet, weight loss and fitness books. An explanation of the metabolic process and how it relates to the body and food intake is included, along with ways to maximize metabolism. The author dives deep into the psychological issues that can affect metabolism and offers techniques to obtain a balance between the mind and metabolism.
“The Fuel Link” gives readers the nuts and bolts of a healthy lifestyle. Included are guidelines, calculators, recommendations and worksheets which help identify proper calorie, carbohydrate, fiber, protein and fat intake. The author also highlights portion control, vitamins and label reading. The section includes recipes for healthy, easy-to-make snacks, along with 24 different meals plans and a specific seven-day diet plan.
“The Physical Link” discusses motivation and intensity. Morrow explains the “cardio 21 minute fat burning theory” and stresses the importance and benefits of weight training, emphasizing the idea that fitness should and can be fun. Three regimented workouts are provided, each including a combination of cardio, yoga, stretching and strength training, along with an explanation of heart rate training zones and muscle memory. He also explains unregimented exercising and provides simple recommendations.
Morrow holds a degree in Physiology and has spent several years participating in competitive bodybuilding and power lifting. His education and training of over twenty years has also included studying and testing nutrition supplements, diet, exercise, and sports psychology. He has served for many years as a personal trainer and fitness instructor to high-profile customers; as well as a nutrition consultant and mentor. He founded the non-profit organization, Americas’ Personal Trainer, in an effort to educate all ages on proper nutrition, diet, and fitness.
Morrow, who currently resides most of the year in North Carolina, is the author of two other titles, the Fat Into The Fire Journal and the Fat Into The Fire (FIF) Cookbook for All Seasons, which along with DVD’s and CD’s are a part of his FIF Program.
