Customer Reviews

Dated, Fadist and Evangelical
The message of this book is short and simple.
If you become an under eating vegan you will lose weight.
This may be a very effective way of losing weight and may even make a lot of people feel better than they do on burgers and shakes but it is hardly news.
Dubious conclusions derived from apocryphal anecdotes are repeatedly presented as fact. Categoric statements raise the eyebrow of scepticism every other page or so.
Unintentionally funny but could raise the blood pressure of those lacking humour.

Excellent read
This is a superb book. Marilyn and Harvey Diamond have taught us how life can become so much healthier and full of vibrant energy.

The BEST health book ever!!
People please note, this book is unlike the other diet fad books-the atkins, the GI and all the other nonesense. It begins at the very beginning by stating that in life there are very few failures like "the diet" and as such they distance themselves from this terminolgy.

This is NOT a diet book, the authors do not endorse the "eat badly, diet later scheme". Theirs is simple: incorporate a creative healthy eating and EXERCISING rregime into your life where you will be comfortable eating food, and knowing what you take in is actually good for you. They endorse this by saying, its WHAT you eat, WHEN you eat, and under what COMBINATIONS you eat. I cannot stress how clear this book is. Its unbelievable! Its like biology for dummies, yet it makes it clear that in this day and age our bodies are taking in so much crap we are unclear about what we should be eating, when and how.

The authors cite credible sources so you can even check them out; yet this does not mean that their word is perfectly correct. No. Yet because the authors recognise different lifestyles and constraints they try and incorporate for all, even with a cook book in the end-a detailed cook book on examples one can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Id say for the skeptical readers, read it first. Read it all (thank God it is a good read too, so it shouldnt take long). I guarantee after you are done you will feel energized and in control because for once you will know what your body needs, you will learn to recognise tell-tales of indigestion or just wrong combination eating and you will work towards creating a healthy lifestyle suitable for you.
A mental note, exercise exercise exercise. It doesnt work any other way-this book is about creating a new start and a new lifestyle. Best of luck!
