Dr. Mollen's Anti-aging Diet: The Breakthrough Program for Easy Weight Loss and Longevity (Plume) (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Diets high in fat, salt, and sugar have all been implicated in the development of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity. Americans also eat too much protein, says Mollen, physician and founder of the Southwest Health Institute. His anti-aging regimen emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes with small amounts of animal and vegetable protein coupled with moderate exercise and a positive mental outlook. His book includes references to the scientific nutrition literature, shopping tips, recipes, sample menus, and case studies of patients who changed their lives when they changed their eating habits. Mollen's program is basically sound, although he does subscribe to the "free radical" theory of aging espoused in Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw's notorious Life Extension: Adding Years to Your Life & Life to Your Years; A Practical Scientific Approach ( LJ 6/15/82). The National Enquirer has first serial rights, so this will probably be requested frequently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Additional Factors to Healthy Living, September 7, 2009

By	D. Brandt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dr. Mollen's Anti-aging Diet: 2 (Hardcover)

There has been a lot learned in the last few decades about mitigating the aging process, and this book hits the diet aspect. Proper nutrition is vital to healthy living. Of course, this is "No duh!" but it is amazing how many of us keep on eating the wrong stuff but can't for the life of us figure out why we still feel crappy. Diet, exercise, vitamins and supplements, relationships, and even spiritual life appear to be related to healthy living and, in some measure, to ameliorating the the aging process.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me lose 32 pounds & 4 inches off my waist, April 26, 2008

By	Donald J. Slater (Spring Lake, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was diagnosed with a major health issue 2.5 years ago, at age 64, I decided it was time to be proactive about living a healthy life style. That is when I came across Dr. Mollen's book at our local library. My primary objective was, not to lose weight but to eat healthy, to improve my situation. I followed Dr. Mollen's advice for a healthy life style change and within 6 months I had lost 32 pounds. Besides that I went from a large to a medium shirt size and from a 38 inch waistline to 34 inches. I bought all new clothes and am told that I look great.
I have much more energy, my cholesterol is excellent, my blood pressure reading taken by my doctor recently was 120 over 80. I have been 20 to 30 pounds overweight most of my adult life but for the past two years have easily maintained my proper weight. I have tried diets before but this is not a diet, it is a life stlye change. I do not count calories or go hungry. I eat all I desire but eat the right kinds of foods and enjoy all of them. I highly recommend this book. Dr. Mollen is right on. I am living proof.
