Culinary ideas and encouragement
This sensible diet book begins with a pep talk for low fat and outlines a seven-step program, emphasizing menu planning, fat-gram counting rather than calorie counting, and excercise. one-stop cooking and lifestyle to stay slim
I look at a lot of cookbooks, and this is one of the best all-around healthy cooking and weight management approaches I have found.It includes lots of charts, guidelines, and hints for healthier eating, plus great illustrations and clear directions.I especially like the vegetarian and fish sections.Each recipe includes a "extra health benefits" section that I found interesting.

good food fast
If only all authors of low-fat cookbooks could have seen this book first. Each easy- to- follow recipe gives a breakdown on health benefits, preparation and cooking time, and a nutritional breakdown.Often times, there are extra chef's hints on shopping tips, substitutions, or presentation.Recipes that take 10 minutes or less to cook have an easy to read "quick" notation.Perfect for the novice chef; recipes are simple yet elegant.Lessons on different food groups give knowledge you can use in the kitchen and at the supermarket.yummy! ...

It's all here.
All you need is to act upon it. It's not so much that the material is new but the presentation is easy and the table of contents is set up with a great breakdown so the reader can access the information easily without wading through more than a body may want to read. Best overall book on nutrition, exercise
I've read them all and this is the only book I have not donated to the library.This book has the best collection of sensible advice, hints and tips, exercise information...even how to dress to look slimmer.

Excellent Introductory Book
It is a bit too soon for me to report enviable weight loss or the establishment of new, taut muscles.But I am convinced that by following the reasonable and practical tips and strategies in Fat To Firm, I shallreach my goals in time.And that is what is so refreshing about this book: it is not at all gimmicky, promising the sun, moon and stars, not tomention a Claudia Schiffer body. This book is an excellent antidote to allthose unrealistic, often impossible, weight-loss programs and fad diets. In truth, it appears that most books out there could be called faddish. Not so this book.Read more

Good advice but rather unappealing menus
Although this book offers sound and practical advice from physicians, nutritionists, and researchers, I was disappointed with its 30-day menu plan because the recommended meals, their nutritional valuenotwithstanding, are for the most part rather unappealing when compared toequally healthful but better-tasting choices available elsewhere. When Iplan my own weekly menus, health is of course a major consideration, but myfirst priority is always taste. Since I am unwilling to renounce the joysof eating well, I want dishes that satisfy my love of flavorful, excitingfood. Therefore, while I find this book very useful for its nutritionalguidelines, when it comes to menu choices I turn to cookbooks that containrecipes for dishes that are not only healthful but also taste great.Fortunately there are a number of such books available, two prime examplesbeing "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern MediterraneanKitchen" and "The Book of Yogurt," both by Sonia Uvezian.Interestingly, I discovered this author in an issue of Prevention Magazinedating from the late 1970s, which featured recipes from her now-classic"Cooking from the Caucasus," a work that was recommended byphysicians from prestigious medical institutions. Her superb yogurt booktaught me how to cut fat by substituting yogurt for cream cheese, sourcream, whipped cream, and even mayonnaise, thus allowing me to putotherwise rich dishes from appetizers to desserts back into my life, withthe added benefits of better nutrition and, almost always, superior flavor. ...

Prevention's New Food for Healing by Yeager et al. Editors
This book has a compendium of foods for weight loss, cancer
A Real Life Saver!
The advice is this book is as informative as it is enlightening.It is my trusted reference for informatiion on the healing/nutritional powers of anything from avocados to ginger, kale to mangoes, nori to tomatoes. Research findings, suggested recipes, and really good writing make this book an excellent buy -- and a true life saver!

More than Helpful - Best Reference for good health
I have had this book for several years. Some helpful remedies include treating and preventing the Flu. It states that VITAMEN C, GARLIC, TEA AND HOME-MADE CHICK NOODLE SOUP HELP WITH the FLU. I've personally tried the Garlic, and it gets rid of a sore throat almost immediately after eating it. I found out that it has to be fresh garlic, not minced and not flavored with, like powder or salt. I usually eat some garlic pods in my potato soup or fried potatoes when I notice a cold or the flu coming on. Usually the garlic shortens the duration of which the cold would have lasted on anyone else. Like most people will get a cold for 2 weeks, I might have it for 3 days. Also B6 relieves carpal tunnel, migraines, and stress.Read more

Very Educational, something Parents can't teach
This book is everything one would need to know about sex, safe sex, and knowing the human anatomy. Men and women. This book would answer questions that one would be embarrass to ask. It has factual statistics, concrete studies, and plentiful resources to expand your world in the field of Sex. I paid $2.00 for this book and I wouldn't mind if a 10 year old child gets hold of this book, because it would only benefit that child to teach them about their body and life itself about sex.

GREAT RESOURCEFUL BOOK, VERY EDUCATING
Every person should have this book in their home. Men and women of all ages will benefit from using this information that has been so accurately and tastefully presented. It's like a good sex...
This is a must-have book for couples and singles who are sexually active. I found this book very informative in a very direct way. It's like a having a sexual therapist right in front of you. The book shows each issue in alphabetical order so it's very easy to reach the information I need.At first I thought it's more like a reference book, but after reading more, I found this book very readable, lively, and full of, not just knowledge about sex, but also advice. It answers thousand questions that many people feel embarrassed to ask. This book is like a good sex, you'd better read it before having it. ... Read more

Nothing New--Disappointing
I bought this book with a lot of eagerness to learn new and exciting secrets to boost the immune system, however, all I found was the same basic information that has been touted by millions and millions of doctors (and quasi-doctors) for many years; namely: eat right (fruits, veggies, whole wheat, more fish, less bad fats, more good fats, etc.,)exercise, and live a happy, stress-free life.I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I mean, if there had been any new, fascinating advances in this area, I'm sure it would have been all over the news, so why I expected to find anything but recycled advice is beyond me.Quite frankly, I catolog these among my light and fluffly collection.Not much depth to it at all!

Staying healthy
Part One of this detailed study deals with the structure of the immune system, the immunity-aging connection and the balance of the system. Loved it!
Great format, great info, very readable.I've been doing my own personal health research for a year or two now, and this book seems to incorporate the best of everything I've come across.It gives equal weight to diet, exercise, complementary/alternative medicine, stress reduction, etc.It even has a section of recipes.This will be a book I refer back to for many years to come. ...
