Book Description

December 1998
Description

Diet by DesignTM SM is certainly not a "diet book" as one might imagine. Diet by Design is diet, food shopping, lifestyle, spirituality, personal care, and recipes — all in one easy-to-follow resource! Like no other book, Diet by Design presents you with a solid foundation of dietary, nutrition, lifestyle, and health knowledge; and, then guides you through the practical experience of buying and storing produce, and preparing delicious, quick and easy, 100 percent natural desserts, condiments, and meals. You are not left saying: "What do I do next?," or, "How do I select this fruit, vegetable, or nut?," or "How can I serve this or prepare this?".

Diet by Design consists of three complementary parts: Part 1, Rationale, addresses: nutrients, sugars, refined foods, weight regulation, the optimal diet, food combining, safe water issues, acid-base balance, raw foods, dental health, lifestyle factors, animal foods and disease, factory farming, pesticides, genetic engineering and irradiation, environmental consequences of our food choices, fruit preservation, and healthy eating tips! Part 2, The Practical Fruit Guide™, is an exhaustive resource in-of-itself. Fruits, nuts, seeds, and "vegetable-fruits": everything you need to know to become an expert! Hundreds of buying, storing, and serving secrets. Nutrient contents and classifications, little-known facts and tips, chemical and preservative warnings, as well as shocking health research! Beautifully illustrated. Part 3, The Recipe Guide™: Delicious, quick and easy, guiltless, 100 percent natural recipes for ice creams, shakes, pies, candy, milks, fudge, butters, salad dressings, soup, and more! At the conclusion of the book are Scriptures relating to health.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

If you desire to have superior health and to be able to regain and maintain your ideal weight and peak energy levels; then, Diet by Design is definitely for you! If you desire to adopt a truly enjoyable dietary and lifestyle program that not only provides you with a solid foundation of knowledge; but, also "takes you shopping" and provides delicious, easy, all-natural recipes, then Diet by Design is definitely for you! If you desire to obtain safe food for yourself and your family; and, in so doing, also protect the environment and animals, then Diet by Design is definitely for you! In Diet by Design you will find a wide scope of edifying subject matter that you can put into practice and also share with others. Healthy eating tips, food combining, buying and storing produce, serving suggestions; and, protecting yourself and your family from unsafe foods are some of the most intriguing and important topics discussed. If you have children the chapter that focuses! on agriculture chemicals is especially critical.

You do not have to do everything at once but as long as you keep striving for improvement you will realize and reap untold physical, mental, and spiritual blessings!

*In Diet by Design I present some of the potential hazards of supplements; however, I am definitely not against their use; and, especially are supplements needed for those who live in cities and who do not eat the diet and live the lifestyle that I promote in Diet by Design. And, those who decide to adopt a vegan vegetarian diet should take a high potency chewable Vitamin B-12 supplement (vegetarian source with folic acid). Consult your physician.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diet by Design is Awesome, April 13, 2004
By 
M. Munson (Terrace, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diet by Design (Paperback)
An excellent book!!! Finally I can shop for fresh produce with confidence. Using tips from this book I now have the knowledge to determine if produce is fresh, ripe, and safe to eat. I am no longer having to dispose of fruits and vegetables as I am able to shop wisely and store them properly. We have saved alot of money as result. I am also very pleased to see healthy, natural recipes for treats that my kids love. I would recommend this book highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding - no other book in the world like it!, June 28, 2005
By 
This review is from: Diet by Design (Paperback)
Do not misinterpret the contents of this book when you read the title "Diet by Design;" because Diet by Design is not just another "diet book;" but rather, a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive health resource that teaches you about diet and nutrition, food and water safety, food combining, healthy eating tips; lifestyle factors, how to shop for, store, and prepare produce [in a wonderful recipe section], and much, much more! Most other "diet books" present diets that do not work because you cannot wait to get off the diet and eat and eat and eat and eat [with the result of gaining the weight back and more]; however, Diet by Design is not like this because the pleasure of eating surpasses any junk food and fast food available and you can eat till you are satisfied and still lose weight, maintain your weight, or even gain weight if you need to.

Diet by Design has three main parts. Part 1 covers an enormous amount of subject matter. Part 2 is an extensive fruit guide [with nuts and seeds too] that provides you with buying, storing, and preparation tips that you would never have even considered. The guide is fully illustrated and has helped me to buy the best-tasting produce and has saved me a lot of money. Part 3 is a fantastic recipe guide that teaches you how to easily and quickly make all kinds of wonderful treats that are free from refined sugars, oils and fats [unless you use nuts or seeds], salt, and other harmful substances. These fabulous recipes belong in every kitchen [whether you are a vegetarian or non-vegetarian]. I like the fact that there are recipes that take the place of store-bought ice creams, chocolate, and other candy and junk foods. There are all-natural recipes for smoothies, ice creams, fudge, toppings, sauces, salad dressings, guacamoles, soups, and more.

At the conclusion of the book are Scriptures relating to health and I found these extremely interesting even though I do not profess to be a Christian.

I cannot argue with anything presented in the book; and, I am a little embarrassed to say that I actually learned thousands of things that I never knew!

One final note: the author promotes protection of animals and the environment. The facts and positions that he presents have made me more conscious of animal husbandry and the need to preserve the environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, April 18, 2004

J K (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diet by Design (Paperback)
Diet by Design has it all: Diet, Nutrition, Lifestyle, Health, Shopping, and Recipes! An enormous amount of wonderful, important, and edifying information is presented which is easy to put into practice. In Part 1, some of my favorite sections are Healthy Eating Tips, Avoiding Chemicals and Genetically Modified foods, Food Combining, and the information regarding animal foods and factory farming. Part 2 of Diet by Design is an essential resource which teaches you all that you need to know about fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetable-fruits! It is illustrated and each item is thoroughly described - even exotics that you may across while traveling to other countries. Also, in Part 2, nutrients within each food are provided and there are hundreds of buying, storing, and serving suggestions which you have never even considered! Additionally, warnings about what to avoid are given. By following the advice you are not only able to obtain the highest quality produce; but, you also save much money and prevent waste - and this makes you feel efficient and productive. The tips and suggestions outlined in Part 2 have paid for my book hundreds of times over within a few years.

Part 3, The Recipe Guide, shows you how to make delicious, healthful alternatives for many otherwise un-healthful treats such as shakes, candy, puddings, ice cream, dressings, etc, etc.
No refined sugar, "free-fats", animal foods, preservatives, or additives. Great for children, teens, and adults!

Diet by Design is truly unique and there is not another book quite like it. This book is for people of every age and has plenty to offer to new health seekers and also health experts.
