5-0 out of 5 stars This is a great cookbook!
I don't cook, but I have found Ms. Alexander's recipe's to be easy to follow and very tasty too! I can't believe that they are low cal and low fat, because they are very high in taste!

5-0 out of 5 stars Easy , Delicious, Healthy Meals!I Highly Recommend!
Last year I weighed 530 pounds. After being inspired by the TV show The Biggest Loser, I have lost 140 pounds so far. I still have about 200 more pounds to go. I KNOW that with recipes and meals like the ones featured in this book, that I will be able to reach my weight loss goals. The thing that I appreciate most about this cookbook is that the recipes are simple and easy to follow. I am a bachelor and am not an experienced cook but this book makes me look like a pro. I have been asked by so many people how I've lost the amount of weight that I have. The answer is simple...eat less (make healthier food choices and portion control), move more (daily exercise) and drink lots of water. The Biggest Loser has shown me how to lose my weight - The Biggest Loser Cookbook is helping to keep me going!! PS The Blueberry Pancakes are out of this world! Yumm!! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Abs-olute nutrition.
I live in Boulder, Colorado, the center of the fitness universe, where body fat is considered a physical disability. I hike, run, cycle, spin, do yoga, and work out daily. Six months ago, I started the "Abs Diet" with the objective of losing weight and trimming my stomach. I also adding moderate weightlifting to my workout routine. Although it really hasn't seemed that I'm "dieting," has it worked?
5-0 out of 5 stars Best smoothie recipes
i'm am a big fan of all of the abs diet books but this one is one of my favorites! i have the hardest time when it comes to the food part of a diet and exercise program and this book has so many wonderful and new recipes in it that it gave me the opportunity to really change up my menu and stick to the program. the best part of this book to me is all of the smoothie recipes!! i love using smoothies as a meal suppliment and these recipes are so good and easy to make!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Everyone must read this book!
Since receiving this book in the mail only a few weeks ago, I have read it cover to cover, highlighted and underlined key ideas, and referred back to it dozens of times.The author writes in a simple, yet entertaining tone using lots of humorous metaphors. The information about the foods we eat it priceless, the recipes are easy and delicious, and the food guide for eating out has come in handy already.I've even changed my regular workout schedule to accomodate the one suggested.I feel like I am now in the best shape of my life.This book has everything!I have already recommended it to several friends and family members. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Not as Useful as I thought
I have the original South Beach Diet Book and thought this would be a more comprehensive list of what I could eat. There are 1200 foods listed in this book but close to half of them say to avoid them on all phases. I found a few foods to eat that I would not have known before buying the book but was disappointed that items such as pie, ice cream, french fries and other obviously off-limits foods were listed and like I said before, they took up a lot of the book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Effectively helpful
This is a better good for good carbs guide.
5-0 out of 5 stars Good Fats/Good Carbs
This is a great book to carry with you all the time. It summarizes the diet and gives a handy reference to what foods you can eat for each phase of the diet. I keep this in my purse all the time. I'm now in the 4th week of the diet and have lost 12 pounds.I'm never hungry and feel better than I have for years.The book and diet are easy to follow. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Agree, But Disagree
I have purchased every edition of this book since it first came out as a much slimmer volume.The problem is, everyone thinks they should take all the vitamins, minerals and herbs explained in the book to get better.I suspect the title, "Prescription..." is the catch, as Americans especially believe in prescriptions for quick fixes.I agree with Byrnes' review up to a point.He suggests we should go to a therapist such as himself to REALLY learn what we should and shouldn't take.I know several dozen alternative "therapists" who believe they know the answers, most of them believe they were thoroughly educated in massage school or through reflexology certifications.No doubt they know more than the average layman, but most know just about nothing.I would recommend this book to anyone who feels a little better being educated about the many aspects of disease and cures that we hear about, and caution them to use it only as an educational tool and a basic resource. For optimal education, add this to your collection of Andrew Weil, Louise Hay, Rayna Gangi, and Deepak Chopra. Only then will you be able to discern and find the appropriate therapist.

1-0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me!
I followed this plan RELIGIOUSLY for over 8 weeks and I gained 7 pounds, mostly around my belly and face!I bought everything on the shopping list, some items were never even used in the recipies!This book contradicts itself several times about 'eating before working out, or eating after working out', '3 alcoholic drinks per week, or 2 per day', etc, etc. The other thing I found frustrating was the fact that most of the recipes if followed directly (which I thought was the idea!) are for 4 servings, so I found myself eating the same thing a lot, or a ton of leftovers and wasted food.

This book has inspired my husband and I to tweak our diets just a little, yet we've had remarkable consequences.We are not following the "diet" per se, but we are using the nutritional advice suggested in the book.We've both lost weight, although he keeps losing (luck of male genes).The book is easy to read and humorous, too.Great examples and even the exercises are doable.Everyone should read the book - it will get you eating to live.Don't worry about the "diet" in the title.But even if you do follow the diet suggested, it's quite reasonable, allowing for one meal of anything you want. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars to an extent, it's ok
although this book might help you to eat intuitively, it does little to overcome overeating. it does little to deal with the true cause of overeating- the pleasure you get from it. trust me when i say that if you eat compulsively, this book won't help much. all this book does is tell you to never diet, which is a good start ( that's why i gave it 3 stars and not 1) but it won't solve nearly all of your problems with food. You still have to resolve WHY you eat & overeat.
3-0 out of 5 stars Good but skims over the #1 reason for eating "problems"
I read this book over and over. I know it works but I could not get my behavior in sync with natural eating. Until I sought professional help. Mild-heavy depression, bi-polar, and other conditions that cause a serious drop in seratonin to the brain among other complications may in fact be the cause of your overeating more than you estimated. I feel like if I would have just sought help from a professional earlier I could have avoided a lot of pain mentally emotionally-all over. As I adjusted to meds I felt the cloud that proceeds binge eating disappear. As good as this book is, it kept me from seeking help. The authors mention in one sentence that some of their clients have gone on to seek psychiatric help. I think this needs more attention than one sentence. When your body's chemistry is off it is hard to explain to others how and why you cannot change. Good luck sisters.

3-0 out of 5 stars Common Sense + Some Drawbacks
Though it did have some good ideas about diet and eating healthy it does also have some drawbacks that people should know about.
4-0 out of 5 stars Great diet!
I bought this for my daughter (23) who was ready to try something new. She learned a lot about her body type and what type of foods she should eat, as well as what type of exercise was best for her. I think she lost 5 pounds that first week, which could be water weight of course, but it was a great start to a life long practice of eating well. It takes a lot of dedication and time to prepare meals, but worth it.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best thing I have ever tried
Since I have a lot of weight to lose I have actually been on this diet almost a month now. I have lost about 23 pounds and I feel great. To be honest the first few days were horrible, I had bad cravings, and I felt ill. I had to force myself to eat because I was not hungry ever few hours. Once my body got used to eating real food as opposed to processed crap I began to feel great. I can also say I have lost this wieght without doing a lick of exercise. I know I should but it has not caused me any issues yet. Now after a month I can say that I do not miss salt or butter on my food. I have plenty of different seasonings to use and have found tons of recipes online that are friendly with the plan. In fact I just had some mock rice pudding for breakfast. Yummmm. If you can stick to it this is one of the best diets out there. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Miracle cure stories abound when it comes to natural healing. A super nutrient reverses cancer after chemotherapy has failed. A Chinese herb lowers high blood pressure in a patient with heart disease after being dismissed as quackery by doctors. Jordan S. Rubin’s account of returning from the medical abyss, however, includes an original twist. After several years of battling Crohn’s Disease, which included a small fortune spent on both conventional and alternative treatments, as well as trips abroad in search of help, Rubin weighed only 111 pounds and, at just age 21, thought his life was over. At the urging of his father, a naturopath, he contacted an obscure nutritionist in California promoting a diet based on the teachings of the Bible. Yes, we’re talking what Jesus ate: kefir, lamb, sprouted breads, eggs and meat from free-range chickens, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Rubin also started to pray and added a new powder supplement containing homeostatic soil organisms (HSOs) to his diet. Four months later he weighed 170 lbs and was on the road back to his former athletic and healthy self. Inspired by his experience, and now with advanced degrees in nutrition and naturopathic medicine, Rubin has crafted Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars There are better books and then there is also the BEST Book.
I agree with a reviewer that listed "What the Bible Says About Healthy Living" as a better alternative.It is straightforward, simple to understand and Biblical without peddling all the "Clenzology" and supplements on you.You learn the basics in this simple to read book.
4-0 out of 5 stars Maker's diet made my son breath easier...Asthma cure?Maybe.
We are active, not lazy people - so exercise is not our main problem.Diet, anti-biotic use, and the MMR shot I think were our biggest culprits.My son has had severe food allergies, and asthma since he was less than a year old.He needed intravenous antibiotics at birth, and later, was allergic to the MMR shot, but the doctor loaded him up with Benedryl and gave it to him anyways. Most kids who out grow their food allergies have done so by the time they are his current age - age 6.Our son was not getting better as time went on, he was getting worse, and adding more allergies to the list - over 15 different foods now, and almost all the environmental allergies that are available on the scratch test.

This book has a good concept. If one has the ambition to actually do it. I bought this for my Sister who has Crohn's Disease and Ulcerated Colitis. She has taken parts of it and applied it to her life. I believe Jordan's story for her was the best thing she could read. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's diet has taken America by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism; their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone." Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Many People can be helped with a lower carbohydrate approach.
The Atkins Diet was the first one I tried after I got serious about losing weight and controlling my type 2 diabetes. After being in the induction period for a week, I lost ten pounds. However, I found that it was too difficult to adhere to for an extended period of time. I decided to try a moderate carbohydrate approach coupled with eating foods with a low glycemic impact, eating foods with a lower energy density, and regular exercise.
5-0 out of 5 stars A good way to lose weight, but its not for the long term
When this diet first came out I got on it and lost about 40 pounds.I kept at it and for quite a while stayed really thin.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Realistic Approach to Weight Managment
Even though Inever became a strict follower of the GI Diet as described by Rick Gallup, this book was a significant factor in developing my own program. One idea that he advances is that we fill our plates with 50% low carbohydrate vegetables, 25% grains or starchy vegetables and 25% protein foods. I have endeavored to follow this principle ever since, and it has been a mainstay of my success.
4-0 out of 5 stars Good and simple!
The truth is that I sort of knew how the GI diet worked but with this book it was all crystal clear. It is VERY easy to understand and it's not hard to follow at all. It was especially useful to me because I am one of those people that crave carbs and now I know why. I recommend this book! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars MUST READ
Wow! I've spend the last year reading about disease prevention and nutrition and this book summarizes all that I've read in dozens of books, articles and websites about beating cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, etc. I wish I would have started here. It also provides a new look at the longest live peoples on the planet which I believe is previously unpublished information. I'm going to be giving this book as a gift to everyone on my Christmas list -- it's one of those books you don't want to miss. This book would be especially good for those skeptics out there -- it contains lots of scientific data and solid evidence. And, to the reviewer who wondered about the author's age -- i believe it is 67. I recently saw a full body picture -- he's in amazing shape.

5-0 out of 5 stars Such a loving and wonderful book.
I'm not quite sure what I expected, but since I'm only 37 years old, I didn't expect to be completely blown away. But I was. The book is a thorough look not just at aging, but at living--at how to live a life filled with joy.

2-0 out of 5 stars Haven't read the book--just the reviews
One year it's: Eat every 3 hours. The next year it's: Eat every 5 to 6 hours. I WILL try taking antioxidants before I go walking in the morning. Frankly, I get so sick of all this diet stuff--everyone wants to get rich on their brilliant ideas. The "elephant in the room" is: Eat less, exercise more. Period. If that doesn't work, eat even less, exercise even more. Sorry, I'm not going to waste any more money on diet books.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Diet (that is NOT a Diet) book ever
I can not say enough good things about this book -- it is the diet bible.It has all the most up to date information on how the body stores and burns fat, addresses every issue that prevents or slows down weight loss, and gives easy to understand suggestions for nutrition and healing your body.If you want to feel good, feel alert, and have energy while loosing weight and not have constant hunger and cravings then this is a MUST have book.
4-0 out of 5 stars Mastering Leptin
I found this book to be very informative with lots of "new to me" information. However,be prepared to read this book with no distractions as is does require your full attention to the details that are given, especially if one wants to understand the principles behind leptin and its formation and use by the body.

5-0 out of 5 stars You've got to read this book!
I received this book as a gift. There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days. It's a huge book, a great resource that is well researched and written.. I have a few friends who've purchased this book and really loved it too. I can highly recommend this book.
5-0 out of 5 stars Realistic, commonsense plan
I just got this book after searching for a plan that would work for me and my boyfriend.We are both average in weight and only need to drop 15 pounds which isn't outrageous, but our current lifestyle is clearly not conducive to that.I love to cook, but I don't want to struggle every night after work trying to make dishes that are confusing and frankly, sound gross.This book offers a structured plan that takes the guesswork out of shopping and many of the dishes are healthier versions of familiar favorites.One person here commented that some of the recipes don't seem heart healthy because they include trans-fats.Yes, there is a menu item titled "glazed doughnut" and one titled "bacon biscuit".But if you look at the entire 2 week menu, it is an exception to the rule.Let's face it, like many of us my boyfriend goes to an office that brings in breakfast Every Friday.At least it's built into the plan that, yes, Friday morning you can have a doughnut but then steers you back throughout the rest of the day.And what about the meetings where they pass around a menu and say, "pick something from this sandwich shop because we are having a lunch meeting"?Thankfully, the AHA has built these scenarios into the plan as well and suggests lower fat/lower calorie options.For working professionals, this book is great.I'm not going prepare elaborate homemade lunches and snacks everyday to take to work (one book called for soba noodles with peanut-tofu sauce and miso soup...I'm not making that at 5 a.m.!).Graham crackers, fruit, carrots and bean dip, though are do-able snacks and much better choices than whatever is in the vending machine.

Editorial Review

If you've ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn't work for you... well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it's a fad diet. But it could also be that you're the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars How to Treat Your Illness or Disease with Relevant Herbs
Dr. Peter D'Adamo has written a very interesting adjunct to his superb book, Live Right 4 Your Type. If you have already read that earlier book, you will find this book adds to your knowledge by letting you know about the latest research about the statistical correlations of various diseases and illnesses to those with various blood types. I wrote down the illnesses that I have more frequently than other people I know, and the diseases I have experienced before reading this book. I checked my experience against what the book reports, and found a high correlation (I have had two additional problems not typical of my Type O blood, and have not experienced three problems often associated with Type O people). I did the same for my wife, who has a different blood type, and found that her pattern reasonably closely matched what is described in the book as well. Then, the book has an excellent discussion of why people with each blood type can be affected differently by each illness or disease. You are also given extensive suggestions for herbal therapies that match your herb type. I have not had experiences with the herbs that were suggested for me, so I cannot comment on how relevant they are. If you already use herbs to improve conditions, you will probably adore this book. If you don't use many herbs, you will probably appreciate understanding more about the potential strengths and weaknesses of your blood chemistry. The book is quite thorough in providing articles you can read for more details, and where to access these articles on-line. If you have not read Live Right 4 Your Type, you will find that this book covers almost the same background material but at a much higher level of abstraction. There is a fairly complete discussion of how blood types seem to have developed and what their chemical implications are. In other ways, the book is quite complete in similarity to the earlier ones. For example, you get the food indications for each blood type, essentially like the information in both Eat Right 4 Your Type and Live Right 4 Your Type. Many people are skeptical about Dr. D'Adamo's work. I found him careful about what he had to say. For example, he notes that the risk charts in the book describe how blood type "in conjunction with other factors . . . may be [associated with] an increased risk for developing a certain disease." As to the diseases and illnesses, I was impressed to see how much different cancers were broken down by the part of the body affected while different infections were also segmented. I always find it helpful to keep the research-based associations to blood type in mind when I read other books about nutrition, health, and diseases. Perhaps someday other health authors will add this perspective to their work, as well. Until then, I am very grateful to Dr. D'Adamo for helping me understand how to make the most out of being a Type O person! How can you turn your strengths and weaknesses into resources for improving the quality of your life . . . and those you care about? Keep your mind and your body full of the most helpful resources you can add!
