Weigh Down Works! is for anyone who suffers from issues related to food: those wanting to lose any amount of weight 5, 10, 30, 100+, for dieters who have lost hope and given up on ever losing weight, for those just diagnosed with a health issue because of their overweight condition and for anyone hurting because of excess weight, out of control eating or an eating disorder.

What is different about this book?

Gwen heard the cry of those who had done Weigh Down in the 1990s and 2000s, lost weight, and then fell away. Many were now coming back to Weigh Down saying, “This is the only thing that ever worked!”

Prompted by the hurting hearts of those returning to Weigh Down, Gwen decided it was time to expand upon the basic principles, add more tips and new success stories of those who have had their weight off for years and get this Truth back out.

With this book you can:

End diabetes due to overweight
Stop the yo-yo diet cycle forever
Reverse years of binge eating
Find motivation and self-control around food
Be set free from the desire to eat when your body is not calling for food
Lose the fear associated with holiday eating and social situations

Gwen Shamblin Lara was born and raised in Memphis. She grew up with a medical background and received her undergraduate degree in Dietetics and Master’s Degree in Nutrition with an emphasis in Biochemistry from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Gwen was an Instructor of Foods and Nutrition at the University of Memphis for five years, and she worked with the city’s Health Department for an additional five years, helping specifically in the areas of overweight, obesity, pregnancy, and child health. She has appeared on countless TV programs, consulted thousands of individuals and participated on various speaking panels as a health expert.

Word quickly began to spread about Weigh Down, and the growth was explosive. By the late 1990s, Weigh Down was internationally known. Gwen Shamblin Lara was featured on such shows as 20/20, Larry King Live, and The View, as well as in such magazines as Good Housekeeping and Woman’s Day. In 1997, Gwen responded to the nation’s request to offer the Weigh Down principles in book format, and The Weigh Down Diet was published by Doubleday, Inc. The book swiftly became a million-seller as people discovered the secrets to losing weight quickly and permanently while finding a new relationship with God.

The dream of helping people turn away from the love of food and toward a love of God has turned into a ministry and continues even stronger today. Through Weigh Down Workshop classes, Weigh Down Radio, You Can Overcome TV Shows, books and audios, hundreds of people are helped daily as they break away from the pain of obesity and other addictive substance or destructive behaviors. Gwen also has such a heart for children and has helped thousands. In 1999, Gwen founded the Remnant Fellowship Churches. She is continually producing/authoring new materials, which are used to help hurting families of every nationality discover the love of God that can set them free.

Gwen is married to Joe Lara, and between the two of them there are three children and 7 grandchildren—they are surrounded by little ones! Joe, the children and their spouses are all very supportive and work alongside her at Weigh Down.

Life changing.

I have been overweight my ENTIRE life. I weighed 120lbs in third grade. At my peak, I weighed 320lbs. I became a Christian 29 years ago. This is the first time in my life that I have been able to not only battle the desires of my flesh, but actually have victory over what I thought would be lifetime habitual sins. This teaching opened my heart and mind to Biblical Truth that I have never understood before. I'm down 15lbs in about a month. I'm wearing clothes that I considered giving away and giving away clothes I thought I had to settle for. I'm hoping to be off of my BP medications soon. I don't care what your struggle/addiction is; food, alcohol, drugs, porn, shopping, etc... read this book and apply the principles to your life.

Fantastic read!

I got this book 3 days ago and I couldn’t help myself. What a great read! I am familiar with the author and have read all of her other books. I couldn’t help but identify with the author and the journey she took to find success in weight loss. Her explanation of her personal experience and the testimonies of those who followed her example made me want to read the whole book in one sitting, but the depth of the wisdom and practical tips Gwen Lara shares in each chapter enticed me to slow down long enough to take notes and contemplate how I could achieve the results she experienced with Weigh Down. I’m not not a big time book reader these days, but I definitely carved out time to read this one. My two takeaways so far: 1- Weigh Down is a completely sustainable and healthy lifestyle (it works). 2- Gwen Lara is an inspirational author and worth being on my key influencer social media feed.

Weighdown Works!!

It has been nearly 20 years since I read the original Weigh Down Diet book for the first time. I tore through it, devouring every word and did what Gwen said God told her to tell us to do. I am forever changed... my heart craves God’s approval from on high. Not only have I lost weight and kept it off all these years, I stopped using inhalers and diuretics, and internally have been transformed from the angry, greedy, ambitious, workaholic, controlling A type to a heart that wants to serve and love uppermost!

I am SO excited to get several copies of Weighdown Works!!! Thank you Gwen Shamblin Lara and all the staff at Weighdown for producing this new book!! I am honored that my testimony is featured in the book and so honored to honor God and give Him ALL the credit for this changed life!!

Make sure you get your copy today!!
Weighdown works!!!
It IS God’s TRUTH

This is a program for life! No more diets. In a little over a year, I lost 35 lbs and am keeping it off. So simple, just eat regular foods and learn how your body works, and trust in God.

I ordered the book, Weigh Down Works, on Friday the 27th of March, and I just received the book today, Monday the 30th of March. It was 3 days early! I also have a free gift, a CD called Constant Encouragement.
I don't think the wow factor is going to stop there. I started the book and listened to the CD and it sounds amazing!
Thank You!

Ok.

The book is made well. Good quality. As far as the diet, its quote simple, eat only when truly hungry and don't stuff yourself. It's more about Gwen's religion than anything. It's ok I guess. I returned mine for a refund. They refunded me promptly.
