4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed book, but not ideal for Vegetarians, September 6, 2009

By	M. Jones (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I gave this book 4 stars for 2 reasons. 1, I feel like the author tries a little too hard to connect to her female audience and it's a bit of a turn off. She constantly uses phrases like 'Girl', 'Let's go Ladies', and on one page, she used the phrase 'Come on girls' three times. It's just a bit too much. 2nd, I don't like the fact that she promotes eating meat over being vegetarian. It's completely possible to get all your necessary nutrients without eating meat. In fact, it's healthier. Plus, I feel that she contradicts herself when she talks about eating a 'nondead' diet, but isn't meat from a slaughtered, dead animal?

Overall, she offers a lot of good information that is straightforward. I recommend reading it, but keep an open mind. Don't let it sway you too much if you're committed to not eating meat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life!, January 6, 2010

By	Two X Four (Toledo, OH) - See all my reviews

I devoured this book, every word, every morsel in 2 days and am smitten! I'm adopting all Aimee's expertise and am already noticing a difference. (I swear my face already looks glow-ier than before...). My breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks for the past 4 days have all been menus suggested in the book. I have had zero sugar and am shocked that I'm not pining for it. My belly and body feel happy, my mind is calm and I'm finding brown bananas in my toilet again as of last night!!! Yeehaw! I realize, now, that the missing link in my quest to be "whole" was this book... I need to nourish my mind, body and spirit with healthy food (even meat!) to make them all run smoothly. Aimee did an amazing job keeping me interested, explaining information with science I could understand and witty common sense that just can't be argued.
If everyone adopted this proactive way of life, we would find ourselves and our neighbors much happier, healthier & cancer-free!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, but a little repetitive., September 12, 2009

By	Evangeline. "customer" (Chino, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This book does offer some really good information. It keeps you interested, and doesn't feel like a chore to read. It does get repetitive in places, especially with all the "come on ladies", "lets go girls", and "ctfo" ( chill the bleep out). If you can get past that, and some of the authors very detailed descriptions about certain bodily functions, than this is a very good book. I never even thought about all of the things in our everyday lives that can take a toll our health. I would recommend this as a worthwhile read.
