Dieting Books

It is amazing all of the fantastic data that Dr. Swilling has crammed into this book. And the thing I like most about the book is that it always focuses on the origin of the disease - not the second, third, or fourth order effect of a deficiency or nutritional need.

This book has a little bit of everything - from basic information on cell chemistry to ozone therapy to a description of key minerals to the ever important effect of stress on the body. If you want to discover some of the reasons that your body is not getting healthy even though you are taking your vitamins and minerals, this is the book for you.

I enjoyed Dr. Swilling's writing style as it doesn't hold back when debunking medical myths about health and nutrition. I will be looking forward to other books by this author.

This is an excellent work for health buffs. It describes
a series of delicious and healthful juice preparations
that are simple to prepare. The "six pack" consists of
asparagus, dandelion, melons, cucumbers and pears in a unique
blend. The "bumpy ride" consists of apples, beets and celery.
The "power pack" consists of carrots, beets, oranges &
strawberries. There is an interesting ginger derivative
consisting of carrots, cantaloupe and ginger root.
The cited juice preparations will enhance any diet with
a proper alkaline balance and natural vitamin supplementation
resulting from the many delicious preparations described
in this work. It is a worthy purchase as a supplement to the
existing health regimen. In addition, people who work out
frequently will need the vitamin and mineral supplementation
of these juice preparations to replace depleted minerals
from strenuous physical activity.

This book is beautiful to look at, with rich colors on every page, really bringing alive the illustrations of delicious soups described in it. It is also organized very interestingly, as it includes recipes for basic stocks, as well as the health value of numerous ingredients (used in the soups of the book and elsewhere in cooking), and then gives a list of ailments (simple to complex) and suggests ingredients to ease pain and discomfort (explaining why), as well as the soup(s) in the book that might help. It's really an exquisite soup book--others don't compare if you want tasty as well as healthy soup ideas. Just wonderful in every way.

This book is an excellent introduction to the movement work of Dr. Milton Trager M.D. It contains both theory and practical movements. It also has very interesting photos of Dr. Trager both as a young man, and as a very active old man. It is easy to read, as it was not actually written, but was spoken by Dr. Trager, and written down by his students over a number of years.

This Doc gets it. I was fortunate enough to read this book upon release and found it to be quite useful. This is a no BS, down to earth, straight talk book that simply tells me what I want to know and that is how to lose a little weight. I finished the book feeling like I can make the necessary changes and am in control of my weight and health. That's a good thing. For the price, you can't go wrong.

When Mr. Food met with Nicole Johnson, Miss America of 1999 and an international diabetes advocate, a partnership was formed which created "Mr Food's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking", a useful diabetic and general health food cookbook. The updated second edition packs in over 150 recipes, hints for eating lighter as a lifestyle change, and portion sizes geared to aid in diabetes control and weight loss. Recipes are very easy, offer streamlined dishes based on pre-made foods as much as possible, and will appeal to any interested in modifying their cooking habits to accommodate diabetic needs.

In this day and age, news about the obesity crisis is everywhere. Americans are fatter than ever, and we know it. But what about the family cat? What makes his or her little weight issue less important?

Ms. Garvey addresses this topic in My Fat Cat. Do you know how to tell if your cat is overweight? Or how to ensure that your cat lives a healthy life? If not, you would be doing your furry friend a service by reading this book. Garvey's clear, straightforward advice on improving your pet's diet and exercise routines and plenty more make this book a must-own for any cat-lover whose cat has a bit of a paunch (or more).

You've probably been on a diet yourself at some point in the past year. You try to eat right, stay active, and generally live a healthy life. So why not seek the same for your cat? The way is simple, and Ms. Garvey's book is a great way to find it.

This book is filled with genuine respect for the earth, food, and human life. Recipes and ideas are shared for health and favor. Beautifully hand written and illustrated.

This book is incredible! I'm on Day 10 of this eating plan and have lost 9 pounds! It truly is amazing. I've lost 40-lbs. on the less-calories & less-fat approach but this way of eating is SO much less painless--once I got over bad craving breads, pasta, etc.. I'm just thrilled. The first few days were pretty rough from carb cravings but once I got over that hump it's been very doable. I eat loads more veggies than I ever have and everything I eat fresh. Nothing processed/altered. I highly recommend this if you've "hit the wall" with your current diet. I feel so much better--no afternoon sluggishness and I wake up not feeling tired. India and Neris are a hoot and I love their daily entries for; it really helped me to read those. A+ and THANK YOU NERIS & INDIA!!! --A grateful reader.

This pocket sized guide is big on ideas. It furthers the ideas from the "New Beverly Hills Diet". Only get it as an addition though. On its own, it doesn't have enough information to take you through the diet. I reccomend it.
