Alpine Weight Loss Secrets by Stefan Aschan is a fun, easy to read book about weight loss and healthy living.
As you can tell by now, I read quite a few diet books, so I jumped at the opportunity to review this new book by Stefan Aschan. I appreciated how it’s about a wide variety of health issues and not just weight loss. Chapters include:
- Change your mind, change your body (flex your mental muscle)
- “Lighten” your metabolism
- Alpine Eating: Choose Tomatoes Not Potatoes
- Improve Your Fat-titude
- Instant Anti-Ager: Your Posture
- The At-Home Alpine Aerobic Solution
- Train Yourself “Jung” (young)
- A Flat Belly – “Schnell” (fast)!
- The Joy of Living: Think and Grow Thin
- “Hudry Wusch”: Eat Yourself Thin
- “Holodrio!” Stay, Feel, and Look Young for a Lifetime
What I Liked: There are also easy-to-use worksheets for most of the chapters, and tons of helpful tips sprinkled throughout. The advice seemed solid, congruent with what I’ve learned about healthy eating and living naturally. Lots of tables and charts which made it easy to understand.
What I Didn’t Like: At times, it seems a bit overwhelming, and you wonder how you would be able to implement everything. Also, it sometimes gets a bit old hearing over and over how great living in an Alpine village is and how terrible Americans are.

I’m at my wit’s end. I’m heavier than I’ve ever been, and need a process that is holistic, whole-person that will help me recalibrate my overall attitude and lifestyle – not the cabbage soup diet. The idea that there are worksheets and tips throughout, as you mention, may be the key for me to finally get off the hamster wheel of limited success followed by more weight than I lost. This is a daily struggle for me – my weight is the first thing that I think of when I wake up, and I wonder if I can ever find it within me to really overcome it.
I so hear you! Hope you are following along on my journey to lose 100 pounds. We CAN do this.
