Book Description

ISBN-10: 1885624697 | ISBN-13: 978-1885624697 | Publication Date: August 22, 1995

The book is narrated by a quirky character called "Best Red." Best Red describes himself this way:

You're gonna love me! You'll learn:

* How to customize a diet that will fit your specific nutritional needs.
* How to get in shape and stay in shape with as little as 1 hour per week of easy no-pain exercises, specifically designed for you.
* How to lose weight without ever going hungry.
* The best sources for enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
* The Psychological Tools necessary to change your eating habits.

But wait that's not all! I will also:

* Teach you how to select fresh fruits and vegetables.
* The basics of nutrition.
* Have you ever heard of vitamin T or U?--I'll tell you every known vitamin and mineral and what they do and where to find them.
* I'll Simonize your car on weekends--well, maybe not.

I also have delicious recipes, a guide to juicing, sample menus, the nutritive analysis of 100 common fruits and vegetables and a handy activity chart which tells you how many calories you burn doing certain activities.

If you want to know the mechanics of your body and how it integrates(or doesn't integrate food), there are much better and informative books out there. One really great one: YOU On a Diet by Mehmet Oz, MD. It also is easy to read, understand and has a sense of humor.
This book is VAGUELY informative and chock full of very un-funny humor.
I just think one could do much better.

What I found most valuable about "Best Red" was the complete list of vitamins and minerals. Also, the book tells you what these vitamins and minerals do and what foods they can be found in. It is written in an easy to follow way. I have really enjoyed this book and found it a much needed tool in food selections.
