5.0 out of 5 stars The simplest Way to be Healthy and Understand Why, December 27, 1999

By 

Teri Halpin (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The American Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit for Life Kitchen (Hardcover)

I started out by reading Marilu Henner's first two books which were excellent. The "Total Health Makeover", but she referred to Marilyn Diamond in her book and the "Fit For Life" idea. Choosing to do further research I decided to read "Fit For Life" and have never gone back to the old ways of eating.

This cookbook gives you more than just reicipes. This book gives us who want to be healthy (and who aren't the greates gourmets) easy and simple menus that are easy to understand, but better yet she explains why she does the things she does, and the principles behind the things she does. It makes it a lot easier for people to stick to a plan when they understand what is going on in their body, and what they can do to prevent some of the everyday aches and pains that are caused by improper food consumption. By no means am I a cook, or a fanatic! But this cookbook makes my life easier and makes it easier to comply with the way I should be feeding my body. Thank you to Marilyn Diamond and harvey Diamond as well as Marilu Henner. I have never said this before, and probably never will again - THIS COOKBOOK COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE and MAKE IT 100% BETTER! I promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The American Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit for Life Kitchen (Hardcover)

This book is full of excellent, tasty, healthful recipes based on many, many decades of well-documented and enormously successful research and true practical results - not to mention Marilyn's extensive cullinary experience and skills. Even if you are only looking for great vegetarian recipes, this is the book for you!

Don't let the cynical, unfounded personal bias and incorrect statements of one person (the reader from Oceanside) spoil your desire for the great food ideas presented in this great cookbook!

If you have the desire to find out more about food combination and natural hygiene and you are just starting out, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond's Fit for Life and Fit for Life II (much more revealing) are also great choices to go along with Marilyn's cookbook. I would urge, as they do, that you read the extremely common-sense, well documented, and well proven facts presented in all of these books and decide for yourself the value of their advice and counsel concerning your health.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful cookbook!, April 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The American Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit for Life Kitchen (Hardcover)

I've only had this book for a few days and I'm amazed! I've been looking for some new tofu recipes and there are a few great ones already. I feel like I'm eating out at a wonderful vegetarian restaurant every day! This book was a great find! It is completely dairy free as well, which my other cookbooks were not. Other cookbooks substitute a lot of cheese in place of meat. A must try is the almondaise, WOW!!! I have never tasted anything so good in my life! (It's a substitute for mayonaise)
