Dieting Books

The author of this book was the doctor that treated me after my diagnosis of Wilson's Disease. The book is easy to understand and up to date with all of the info one needs. Since Wilson's disease is very very rare, many doctors may steer you down the wrong road when it comes to treatment. In most cases you should simply follow your doctor's advice, but with Wilson's disease a mistake can make a huge difference in your quality of life for the rest of your life. Some of the drugs used to treat this condition have irreversable side effects. So get this book, question your primary doctor, and make sure you see one of the very few experts on Wilson's disease BEFORE commencing treatment.

Best diet/way of eating for women after we get to "that stage". Plenty of good food and an immediate weight loss noticed.....with great compliments. This book has never gone out of style.

This is very much like Savona's Wonderfoods book, just targeted at kids. Again, the theme is utilizing natural foods because of their amazing wealth of nutrients. The categories in this book are energy, tummy, allergy, calm, skin, defence, and growth. Each category includes a handful of natural foods that aid in that benefit and a few recipes in which the food can be used. The recipes are lovely, easily made, and enjoyed by kids (though personal tastes will differ, naturally--my son isn't much for fish). As with Savona's original Wonderfoods book, I recommend this version as much for the education included as I do the recipes.

This book fulfills a need in the world of diabetic cookbooks. Nearly all diabetic cookbooks include recipes for traditional American home food cooking (e.g., meatloaf, oven fried chicken, etc.), and after looking through one or two of these books, the recipes become redundant. For diabetics whose tastes are more exotic, prefering the foods of Asia or India for example, diabetic cookbooks offer very little. This book is the exception. Kay Spicer has put together a wonderful collection of recipes that range from Japanese to Italian to Portuguese to Eastern European foods. Some of the ingredients are exotic, but not unfamiliar, to those used to cooking international foods. Hopefully, more international diabetic cookbooks will be produced in the near future. With the increasing number of Latinos and Asians being diagnosed with diabetes, the need definitely exists.

This book was surprisingly an easy read given the topic. It has changed my eating habits forever. The principles are easy to implement. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Like many people I have read every diet book on the market. When I bought this one, I hesitated thinking I was spending money for a book that said the same thing as every other one. I can't tell you how wrong I was. My copy is underlined and marked to emphasize the key points and critical factors. I am buying copies for my friends in the hopes that they will get as much out of it as did.

The philosophy presented is sound, physiologic, practical and above all, IT WORKS. I am eating better, am conquering the food guilt and am losing weight.

This book is well written, well researched (good end-notes) and nicely organized. Don't let the "Yoga" word in the title scare you. This is not a book about vegetarian eating (the author admits to being a meat-eater) and does not expouse any dogma. He simply offers a wholesome and healthy perspectice to food.

I have read my share of diet books,(and been on several diets) but this book is not like that. It did show, me, though that food, when given due respect can make tremendous transformations in people; physically, mentally and emotionally. That it can be used to nourish all levels.

This book has nothing to do with food portions or food selections or anything like that. It's about where your mind and heart are at as you eat. Because if one of them are missing at the dinner table then one of them is not going to get nourished. Simply, it shows that if you learn to eat with your mind and heart in attendance as well as your fork and knife that magic things can happen to you both inside and out... like you can lose weight without following rigid and/or restrictive diets. That you can eat what you want,when you want. That everytime you eat you can feel you are helping yourself, rather than hurting yourself.

I wish every person who struggles with a weight problem could read this book. They would never feel like a failure again(as I did). They would just be(like me) so grateful that somebody told them a few things.

This book is a repeat of a Paul Chek....only his is in cd form. Not impressed with Ms McKeith...

This Book and her Television Show on BBC has changed my life. I have hooked up my Cable TV to my Treadmill TV just so I can DVR all her shows and Walk while watching her and getting her advise. Now I have her books and cook books. I have a Juicer and I have changed my diet. Along with other outside motivators I am happy to say so far I have lost 1 Stone (14 pounds) in 5 weeks.

Very funny and rings true for so many girls...So helpful and informative to keep the lbs off!

As a big fan of the 1st edition of this guide, I'm just so pleasantly surprised that the new edition has lots more really great foods that I can now eat and know I'm on the path of a healthy lifestyle. I'm nowhere near a strict vegetarian so the Yummy Hunter's Guide has lots of choices that fit my mood. All cuisines are represented and I see some of these choices at my neighborhood Safeway so I don't have to haunt any of the specialty health food stores just to eat right. Very easy to use this guide and with it's cool size it fits right in your purse when you feel like shopping with an eye for delicious but low-calorie gourmet foods.
