From Robert Atkins and Anorexia, to Fast Food and Globalization, to John Harvey Kellogg and Vegetarianism, "Diets And Dieting" is a wealth of information that offers a unique, comprehensive, informed, informative, 'user friendly', and very highly recommended contribution to personal, professional, academic, and community library Health & Medicine and Cultural Studies reference collections.

I read "Las Dietas Engordan, Comer Adelgaza" (Diets Make You Fat, Eating Makes You Skinny), and followed Dr. Bolio's diet. It's amazing! Not only you loose weight, you loose it in specific areas, so you get skinny but well shaped.
I liked his second book better "Que hacen los Malditos Flacos para estar Flacos" because it is easier to follow. I work, I have two little ones, and my life is extremely busy. I wish he could have an English version too.
If you have the time to prepare your meals, try his method in Diets Make You Fat.... you'll see AMAZING results soon enough to keep going and don't loose motivation.
I'm happy to see that he has a book written in English, b/c maybe I can find recipes that are easier to find in the States. Here I have problems finding "nopales" (cactus).
This diet really works, your fat will just melt. AND best of all, you are never hungry, in fact, you always feel full.

We can all use help in understanding enzymes. They control every aspect of our body from the digestion of our foods to the loss of our hair. For years i have been taking food enzymes with my meals. I really feel like they are helping me.

This book claims that the older we get, the less enzymes our body manufactures. This being said, i feel like we need to help our body with this problem by taking supplements.

There is is talk that enzymes might prevent cancer since they help us better handle our foods. There still needs to be more research on cancer, to determine what role enzymes play in the prevention of it.

I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

I have finally found the solution to my problem of being overweight! I love it! I am losing weight faster and easier now than ever on any other diet. And I feel great while doing it! This is simply a new way of living for me. I have learned some very simple but important rules about how and what to eat. Rules that are easy to follow indefinitely. I never want to be overweight again - and now I don't have to. My recommendation is: Read this book, follow the very simple principles and you will easily lose a lot of punds very fast and feel great at the same time! You'll love it!

I'm really glad I found this book - I've been looking in stores and online forever to find something like this. I'm not obcessive about my diet, but I do enjoy eating healthy stuff, and it's good to know this book was checked by a licenced dietician who knows what she's talking about. You would have a hard time going wrong buying this book.

I received this book as a gift from a wonderful friend that has watched me struggle with my weight and fitness for years. I love Lauren's no nonsense approach to meal planning and working out. I am ready to re-dedicate myself to a program that I am certain will be easier to follow than all the others I have tried.
You won't believe all the GREAT recipes included to help you succeed in balancing your meal preparation.
THANK YOU Lauren for dedicating yourself to helping others realize their potential. I will update this when I have finished 12 weeks of the program!

This is an insightful and enlightening guidance on how to reduce weigh through adopting some eating and exercising habits. Drawing from his experiences, Dr Ali explains why we gain weight. He methodically explains all about fat, hormones, why we eat too much, and why digestion makes a difference. This is followed by various weight loss plans to suit various people depending on their circumstances and needs.

Among the methods the author proposes for losing weight includes fasting, therapeutic yoga and exercises, massage and how to cope with too much weight arising from hormonal, genetic and psychological problems.

The book is very informative and helpful. It is simple, clear, and gives ideas that are sensible and workable. The book contains a lot of practical and useful ideas that can help you. The solutions make sense but very often, they are not practiced, in view of the fact that, although they are simple, they are not easy.

The book is recommended to anyone with a sincere desire to tackle their overweight problem or obesity.

Dr. Ulene's Complete Guide is an extremely useful reference book to have on the shelf. Its information is up-to-date and in-depth - and readable! Its format lends itself both to quick, specific reference and to slow, random browsing. I've found it indispensible in answering particular questions, and I've also enjoyed skimming through the pages whenever I have a spare moment. My knowledge of vitamins, minerals, and herbs has definitely increased since I've had this book, and I recommend it as a great reference source.

The great thing about this book is that Peter Dorsen writes with a sense of humor. You can tell he's not a traditional, button-down, by-the-book doc. There's lots of advice and information, but it's also fun to read. This would be a terrific book for women, too, if they want to get to know their over-40 guy better. I'm surprised it hasn't become a best seller.

Powerful news that makes sense. Addresses health issues that many people experience. Easy to read and locate specific subjects.
