Eye Opener!
This book has open my eyes to the possiblities of improve not only my health but my looks as well. Detail of information on how you can truly fight the ageing process.
What About Mental Fitness?
Whenever I read books like this, it makes me think again that doctor's just don't get it - they ignore the "big picture" of their patient's health and focus on treating symptoms with just Western medicine. That's their business, of course. It's up to consumers to get educated, on that I agree. We can do a lot by keeping physically fit, but what about mental fitness? Whoever talks about that? We are an aging population and more needs to be done to prevent memory loss, etc. Rather than obsolete books, I find services like Agogus.com much more "up" on the holistic perspective.

Too much "Fill"
The content is good but way too much "Fill".The meat of the book could be published in less than 1/3 of the pages of the book. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Forget the high-carb, low-carb debate. The glycemic index (GI)--a measure of carbohydrate quality based on how quickly a food raises blood-glucose (blood sugar) levels--is the dietary key to health, say the authors. Contrary to other diets that treat carbohydrates as all alike, Read more

Join the New Glucose Revolution
This is one of the most important nutrition books of our time and has spawned thousands of other nutrition books. Over 3,000 other books have been written about this topic. Eating foods with a low glycemic impact has been a cornerstone of my own eating style.
THE NEW GLUCOSE REVOLUTION
WHENEVER I SEE A BOOK I WANT, I GO TO AMOZON WHERE THE PRICE IS ALWAYS RIGHT.THE BOOK WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AS I WAS SURE IT WOULD BE.

Guidlines Not a Formula
This book shed a lot of light on why I was not succeding in my weight loss goals.I had already given up almost all sugar and all artifical sweetners, eating mostly whole grains, and had been doing a 45-60 min cardio workout 3 times a week and getting no where in the 50 lbs I need to lose.In the past I had a lot of success following Atkins, but felt that it was unhealthy and it left me feeling sluggish and miserable.I stopped Atkins and started the daily losing battle with my weight. After three weeks of following the basic principals I have had successful weight changes for the first time in a long time.

Discover the Manual Needed to Operate the Most Divine Gift in the World: Your Body!
Dr. Ben Lerner was the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic Team Doctor and is the author of New York Times and Christian Bookseller's Association bestselling book, Body by God: The Owner's Manual for Maximized Living. He has been teaching the Body by God program in hundreds of organizations and churches all over the U.S. and Canada for the last decade. His book: Body by God: The Owner's Manual for Maximized Living, is an easy-to-follow and thorough book which reads like a reference guide to the body and is divided into five main parts:
Realistically speaking, an idealistic book
The information is great! It all makes sense; but the realistic view is, who can really afford it? Ideally, yes, eat all of the food God intended you to, but look in the grocery stores and realize that you will be paying twice your normal grocery bill! The variety that God has provided is vast; however you realize how restrained it is when our menus rely so heavily on sauces, frostings and rich gravies; they are gone in this realm. You do feel better, but today's market makes it hard to live the way God wants you to. Another point well made is our need to do exercise - at least a little per day. It is a shame that in our society we are so overloaded with time constraints and responsibilities that it is hard to fit it all in. Overall, a very informative book, but will you stick with it?

Great Book
This book was excellent!! Mind, body, and spirit are covered in one book.This book gives very sensible and practical advice for anyone who wants to make a lifestyle change that they can live with."Dr. Ben" doesn't give false hope or false expectations.Anyway should be able to succeed if they choose to by using this book as a guide. ...

book for everyone
We get more aware of our age at the time of retirement. Switching from a daily-work routine to a totally new idea of all-time-holidays is often not as pleasurable as we expected thirty or more years before. At that difficult time, it is very helpful to focus on the Four Pillars of Longevity as suggested by the authors of the book. The book provides some good medical background for these readers that like to understand why certain things are happening. Search the net for more FREE info
Younger Next Year
It is very easy to read and hard to put down.It is full of information that I never knew.The authors write with a bit of humor which makes it easier to keep my interest.

Chris Crowley has produced a challenge for us all.Will we make daily strenuous exercise and rigorous eating habits part of our committment to living?

Type O Food,
Was a revealing book.Had not known about the subject in detail previously.Interesting.Will implement suggestions.

I am very happy to find out about this book
My doctor recently recommended that I get D'Adamo's book "Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type" and this supplemental handbook. This supplemental handbook is very handy to take with me to the grocery store to help me shop for the right foods. The book is organized nicely into all the different food categories so that I can quickly find what I am looking for.

The Best Nutrition Information I Have Read
This is a no-nonsense, cut-to-the-chase book which gives you the information you need to eat sensibly.In a world of empty diet promises that offer weight loss that cannot be maintained, this book gives readers a formula for life.What a relief to read diet/nutrition information that does not come with a sales pitch for products that cannot offer a long-term solution.Thank you, Dr. Ann.

good journal for food and exercise
This book is truly a gift to share with others. Just like my new beverage of choice that replaced my morning brew. Its called s oyfee and taste so wonderful with no caffeine or acids. Organic and made from soya! Bye bye acid stomach and hello healthy tummy! Google it under "acid free coffee"

Excellant book
Dr. Ann has written a book that explains in easy to read text about ways to improve your health. I am following her suggestions and find that I can still eat many foods that I enjoy. I think this would be especially good for overweight children so they may have a healthier adult life. R.L. Ward,M.D.(South Carolina) ... Read more

Living Gluten-Free For DummiesBy Danna Korn
You won't feel like a dummy after reading this book on Celeac Disease, you will feel well informed.

Living Gluten-Free for Dummies
Living Gluten-Free for Dummies is a foundation book which imparts important information with humor...something a Celiac needs.
Good Reading
It has been 28 years since I was diagnosed with Celiac.Back then there was little information and fewer products available for living gluten-free.Reading this book would have been very helpful to me then, and I may have been spared much of the problems I encountered along the way.Even the Dr. who determined my disease made the error of telling me that after the villi had repaired themselves, I should try gluten again!

Emerge Renewed
Greens consumed in this form are easy to take in and make the cravings go away, the mood swings go away, the hair thick, and the skin smooth and firm.The greens also pump you with energy, and amazingly cause weight loss, even when you consume as many calories as before.I cannot sit still because of my renewed vitality, and my best friend who also drinks the green stuff just did her mountain bike trail ride in record time.Victoria just might solve the healthcare crisis--I am serious. I am a happy primate who is finally consuming my native diet-- and I salute Victoria Boutenko for her free thinking and this great contribution to human wellness.
Go Green Now
This book inspired me to go green! I knew it would be good; I actually postponed the publication of my own raw food book 6 months while waiting for this one to come out so I could include the study in my book. It was worth the wait.
Excellent book!
I really enjoyed reading "Green for Life." I am a raw vegan. But I found that anyone, whether they are raw or not, would get some great information out of this book.She does a great job of explaining 1)why greens are so important, 2) how to incorporate more greens into anyone's diet, and 3) why green smoothies are an optimal way to get more greens into the diet. Easy read with great information for anyone! ... Read more

This certainly is a purist's view, but that doesn't make it bad
I see a lot of critics of the Ornish diet suggested in the book; however, it certainly seems as if there is a lot of data available to document the results and support the promotion of the Ornish diet.However, I would strongly suggest reading both Dr. Dean Ornish's book on reversing heart disease and Dr. Julian Whitaker's book on the same.I think that the Whitaker book provides a much more practical view and also displays what may be a good diet (and life-style, etc) for (1) a healthy person that wants to prevent possibility of heart disease, a "preventative" approach, and (2) a person who has heart disease and needs a "reversal" approach.That said, Dr. Ornish's book is an eye-opener and does cause a concerned reader to focus on the level of discipline and focus that a "reversal" diet and life-style requires.

There are better books out there these days
After my older brother suddenly died of coronary artery disease at age 40 due to genetically high cholesterol, I needed to learn everything possible on the subject so that I could avoid suffering the same fate.I read all the books on the shelf, among them Dr. Ornish's.I disliked this book because it is rather narcissistic and is focused more on Dr. Ornish himself than on educating us about how to avoid heart disease.Take a look at chapter 1 and you'll see what I mean: "I was trained to treat hypertension..."; "I first became interested in conducting research on heart disease in 1975..."; "I began to wonder..."; "I went to the medical library and began reading extensively"; "It seemed like an exciting opportunity, so in 1977 I decided to take a year off..."; "I hadn't had enough clinical experience to be jaded..."; "I was unwittingly giving many of them hope for the first time since their illness had been diagnosed"; "I went back to medical school and graduated in 1980"; "From 1981 to 1984, I completed my internship and medical residency in Boston."; "In July 1984, I moved to San Francisco..."This is just the tedious first six pages.Trust me, it goes on and on like this.Do you want to learn about how the heart works?You'll finally get a few sentences on that subject when you get to page 42, squeezed in between more "I did this and I did that."You'll get a little info on LDL and HDL when you get to page 51.Sure, there is useful information within the 672 pages of this book, but you'll be forced to become an expert on Dr. Ornish and his life story to find it.And remember, this book is more than 15 years old.Perhaps back in 1990 he needed to devote 300 pages to convincing people that he was correct in believing that diet, exercise, and stress affect your risk of heart disease, but that that is common knowledge and not controversial now.The research is far more advanced in today's world.If you are interested in Dr. Ornish personally and the history of the study of heart disease in the 1970s and 1980s, you'll probably enjoy this book.But if you are serious about educating yourself on heart disease and how best to avoid it, I would recommend Dr. Robert Superko's "Before the Heart Attacks : A Revolutionary Approach to Detecting, Preventing, and Even Reversing Heart Disease" (2003) or Dr. Harlan M. Krumholz's "The Expert Guide to Beating Heart Disease: What You Absolutely Must Know" (2005).These books are more up to date and provide far more useful information.

Great Book
When I follow the diet and work on the other aspects of the program I feel better, lose weight, am happier and have better test results.The book is easy to read and understand.The program is not for the die hard meat lover.It takes commitment to follow.From the reviews I have read and comments from coworkers and friends, it also takes an open mind and balanced attention.I am currently purchasing this book for my adult son.It all depends on what a reader is looking for.Dr. Ornish does not give a quick fix.I am a believer. ...

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.
This food is fabulous!
My husband had bariatric surgery in June.When we arrived at the solid food stage, I was in a panic as to what to cook.Moist low fat and tasty food was quite an order.
100 down and 100 to go
I purchased this book months before my surgery.Once I had my surgery in June, I started going through the book and picking out the recipes that I could have as soon as could eat.This book actually gives you suggestions as to whether or not you should try the recipe depending on what week you are in as well as breakdown of 3 kinds of surgery. I have tried about 20 of the recipes and have loved each of them. I have learned so much from this book.I hope that someone somewhere puts out another cookbook for us post-ops.BTW at 11 weeks post-op I am 100 lbs. down. ... Read more

Not very well organized book
Bought it out of curiosity and didn't like as a book. If you were to follow their sugestions, you would need to make a lot of notes trying to make sense out of it.

You only need to read a fourth of the book
One great advantage of a book like this is that you only need to read the fourth with your blood type.That way you will not be jealous of the other three fourths.

Good Book
The book gives details on every food group for your blood type.You can look at all four blood types at a glance in the charts given.I just wish there was more information about how to tell if you were a non-secretor or a secretor.Otherwise, good book to have in your library.The husband and I have changed our eating to be according to our blood type as suggested, and within two weeks we could both feel a difference.More energy, less bloating or indigestion.It's a good book!

Physical Results May Vary!
I was considering adopting a vegitarian diet due to my many health problems and my mother told me about this book and the benefits her friends have had. So I bought the book and the information was quite facinating. It was like reading my physical autobiography, so I started the diet and I've been on it for 4 weeks and I have had no weight loss. Why..I don't know, but my energy levels have dropped significantly although I must say that my overall shape has changed. It appears that either I'm toning or I'm loosing muscle mass. The books were an easy read, but the thing I find most confusing is this concept of using herbs for ailments and overal health, there are sooooo many herbs out there for every kind of physical issue good or bad and I'm confused as to just how many pills can one person take?! I want to buy the right kind of vitamins and minerals for my body, but even on the website there are 5 or more kinds of pills that I should take, not to mention the shakes, bars and extra health meds that they recommend. I'm sorry to say that I have learned why I am sensitive to certain foods and why I've gained weight, but as to how to fix the problem, there seem to be too many pills and sometimes conflicting pieces of advice. In all, I'm more confused than I was when I was in the dark. So to all of you who have been successful with this diet, BRAVO to you, but for those of you who have bodies that are far more complex than diets and "all natural" foods, I feel you and maybe we'll find the REAL solution someday together.

it was okay
I bought the book thinking that it would help me learn how to eat for my blood type but I find it very difficult to follow and difficult to read it. This is more like an index for health problems and if you are susseptible to them by what your blood type is. ... Read more

Greatweight loss book
My mother read the book and lost 10 lbs.Great book, but you have to follow the book plan for life. If you stray away from the book, the weight will probably come back on.

strict program -good results
The book is well designed and very clear about how to progress through the program.The first time I tried it I lost about 50#.I have a hard time maintaining the low carb lifestyle...so I guess the title is misleading for me...but when I start to put on the weight,I know I can pull out the book and drop it quickly.

Works if you follow directions
I lost 35 lbs on this diet and have kept it off for 3 years.The most important point is to follow the time limit - 4 weeks on the strict diet and 2 weeks on the metabolism speed up part.I was able to eat a lot of food without gaining weight after finishing the metabolic raising diet.It gave me more awareness to reach for something like yogurt, edamame, an egg, jerkey, protein bar, instead of pretzels and other low fat carb snacks.I've always have eaten a lot of veggies so I ate even more than the portion control recommended.I had trouble losing weight by cutting back because I always exercise and don't a lot of calories anyway.Making myself eat more often and eating more balanced meals gave me a lifetime way of eating.I would recommend that people try to eat more vegetarian protein.I can't eat large portions of meat and at first had stomach aches.I ate more veggie burgers, edamame, wheat gluten products, etc. and did much better. Like any diet you have to go through a difficult period of cutting out empty calories and reducing your portions.I'm now a size 4 and have a plan to keep the weight off for life. ... Read more

LIFE CHANGING
I read this book and am now going key by key.This book has helped give me have a different outlook on life.You are changing the way you live.This is not a "do it quick" book; it shows you how to change your life for the better.You need to do it on your own schedule.
I love books!
I enjoy reading Joyce's books because I like how down to earth she is and she just hits home for me. I got a little bored with this book I suppose because there is a lot of practical advice and commonsense advice. A lot of the things I have read in numerous other books on health and my walk with God so maybe that is why it was repitious to me. There are a lot of good key points and it is a good book to reference to and take to heart and try to follow. There are some good things to copy and print and try to keep a journal and follow each day.

Absolutely the Best "Healthy Living" Book
I bought this book not quite sure what I was getting, but the concept sounded good.I began the book on a Friday and finished it by Sunday night.I am a Christian so I agree wholeheartedly about Key 1 - Letting God do the Heavy Lifting.Our willpower is our best friend when things are going well, but our downfall when things aren't so peachy. Willpower then takes its leave and in comes reason and believe me, I can reason my way into or out of anything!I'm too tired, I don't want to go to the store, it is just one bite, it won't hurt anything, I don't want to get up early, I don't want to walk - I'm in a hurry, etc. Reason will always let you down.The bible says we are led by God's Spirit, not our own willpower."Not by might, not by power (or willpower), but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts".Willpower isn't a bad thing, but instead of relying on it, Joyce teaches us to rely on His Spirit instead.Call on God and ask Him for His strength, His peace, His Joy!

was a Zoner before
I have learned alot from reading this book. I was doing the Zone before and was getting good results, but was tempted to do a straight protein diet to loss weight faster. After reading the schwarzbein Principle, it reaffirmed the idea that I had read in Dr. Sears book the devastating effects of a very, very low or almost zero carbohydrate diet. The illustrations in the book easily described the actions your body takes in response to eating certain foods. also, I never considered sarotonin levels. I am on the diet now and I am believing that I will continue to loss weight by taking in a little lower carbohydrates than Dr. Sears suggests, but still not too low to start ketosis; I am trying to gain muscle not lose it! I also have the Schwarzbein cookbook which I am enjoying greatly! Thank you so much for writing this book, and I would suggest it to all who are desiring a 'true' education in nutrition.

I have been a low-carber through the Somersizing program for a very long time.My husband was the one really---who wanted to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into our diets.We were quite concerned about gaining weight back at accelerated speeds.(Anyone who has done Atkins knows what I mean by that).We gave the Schwarzbein Principle--The Program one week to see how we felt.We added back whole grains in moderation, potatoes, yams, brown rice and other starches.We also added back more fruits, remembering to eat them in combination with proteins and fats.We both got on the scale this morning.My husband has lost 5 lbs and I have lost 3 lbs. in just one week.This is an extremely balanced approach that we are enjoying immensely.
