Dieting Books

I do not say this lightly! I must own over 100 cookbooks; Vegan, French, Pastry, Chinese you name it.. This cookbook sends every other cookbook into oblivion. Every single recipe in this book is do-able (except the pie crust, p. 168). You will find a wealth of information here as well as tasty, healthy and user-friendly recipes. I bought this cookbook when I first got married in '89 and it is the one I check back with, pick up again and again. Buy this cookbook, for yourself, for your neighbor, friends, sister-in-law, anyone and everyone! It is truly an amazingly well written, well thought out cookbook.

I'm a watercolorist and a constant dieter. With all the talk of low carbs, I almost forgot the importance of fruits and vegetables to health and weight control until I found this book! Artist Mindy Weisel and her daughers present a very well balanced -- but beautiful approach -- to weight loss. I loved the recipes and the special skin care treatments at the end of each day. Color is an inspiring way to taste all the fruits and vegetables of summer! I lost weight slowly but steadily and felt better and better on The 7-Day Color Diet.

OK - this is GREAT. Even better than the last, as it is more organised, and well laid out to help almost every type of busy life!
Still written in the warm inclusive style of the last, it contains more info, more recipes, bigger more comprehensive food lists, and also portion guidelines. The 7-day plans layout really helps with planning meals and snacks - from 10 minute or less 'fast & friendly' recipes / grab and run ideas through a brilliant vegetarian plan and onto the 'foodie friendly' plan for those of us who like to cook a bit more
It's still easier than the GI, that has not changed!! and I can safely say I won't be needing another diet again. Brilliant.
Many thanks to author Nigel and co for another major help to my life and conquest of food issues.

PS - for us US based folk it is easily useable as it includes cup measurements as well as grams in the recipes.

Awesom book to start a healthy life. I love it. It doesn't look like a diet.

The recipes in this book are creative, simple and taste good. It doesn't take much time at all to whip them up and most of the ingredients are ones you have on hand. Makes a weight loss program all the more doable using this cook book. A must have when time is of the essence.

I bought this after I saw the authori's original book in my doctor's office which outlines his plan for reducing cholesterol. She said others had told her the program works, so I thought I would give it a try. After scanning my doctor's copy, I fast-forwarded to purchasing the cookbook which I have enjoyed. The recipes are not complicated. I was not familiar with apple fiber, but he explained that in the book, and I was quite surprised and pleased to learn of yet another possibility that would help to reduce cholesterol. Any improvement is a step in the right direction.

It's the most comprehensive, all-inclusive 596-page volume with information on healthy living - nutrition, control of emotions, excercise. There are great chapters on Relaxation, Yoga, Sex, and much more! Great, rejuvenating, life-saving reference material for any man - young or old.

Brilliant book - simple, useful and written by someone who went through the process from scratch

I know there are many arquements against carbs & protien diets and I guess all our bodies are different in their reaction to both of these. This book demonstrates that ultimate control of eating the right balance and control of carbs at the core of a healthy maintainable diet. It leans towards ultimate vegetarianism although for some the author realises this may not be possible and offers more balanced diets with meat. I guess in a nut shell what the author got across to me is fat contains fat and to much of anything for example protien is bad for you. Carbs in control are healthy in fibre, filling and release just the chemicals you need to improve your metabolic rate for a long substained satisfying way of eating rather then a quick fix diet. But remember a baegal is not a donaught another explained thing in this excellent book.

Well Done Neal !

I've asked my doctor about glucosamine but she knows very little about it. I found the answers to all of my questions in this little book. It explains how glucosamine works, how much to take, whether to use chondroitin, and gives the research to support the recommendations. It's the perfect book on glucosamine and chondroitin. I gave a copy to my doctor and she enjoyed reading it and told me she learned a lot.
