Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy is a must have book. It not only gives good nutritional information but it entertains you as well.
I use it as a reference book when shopping for groceries, eating out, and prepairing my meals. The way Dr. Ro sheds light on certain well known nutritional fallacies is refreshing. Simply put, she breaks it down so everyone can understand. I also like the recommendations she offers for losing weight and making small incremental changes in my lifestyle.

Contains a wealth of knowledge of diet and nutrition and several interesting recipes that I have already tried. The book is well written and the author has a sense of humor. I only wish there were more recipes. I am white and unfamiliar with some of the food, but I am having a wonderful time learning. It is fun to go to the supermarket and seek out some of these products. I enjoyed the book thoroughly.

Dr. Rowena M. Brock, America's most renowned African American nutritionist
insists that a healthy existence is contingent on more than the consumption
of a proper diet. With Dr. RO'S TEN SECRETS TO LIVIN' HEALTHY, she shares
the full repertoire. Using her own inspiring story and examples from other
women as well, she discusses the health, fitness and cultural issues that
are unique to black women. She shares the positive and negatives of food
consumption, along with the idea that in order to change your life you
have to change how you think. You must understand the roles of fitness,
food and nutrition.

Spurred by her mother's illnesses, induced primarily because of an
unhealthy diet, Dr. Brock seemed destined to study nutrition as a
profession. She has been a practicing nutritionist for over twenty years
and has amassed impressive credentials. She has hosted Black Entertainment
Television's Heart and Soul, and is an award winning lecturer and health

reporter. Dr. Ro currently airs on a weekly radio show on WHUR-FM with
her own health segment.

Dr. Brock talks extensively about the 'Big Ten' myths of miracle weight-
loss diets, how to prevent obesity, how to stop living in denial, and the
importance of eating right and exercising. DR. RO'S TEN SECRETS TO LIVIN'
HEALTHY shows how to lose weight, gain strength and adopt a lifestyle that
can work for you.

'A woman is free if she prizes her own individuality, creates her own

destiny, and puts no boundaries on her hopes for tomorrow' -- Dr. Ro

I love this book. Period. I'm glad to see that a Black woman is talking health and fitness - seriously - for a change. With all of the stereotyping that Black women have to endure about our bodies and fitness levels, it is so good to see Dr. Ro showing America that Black women are health-conscious too and can and will happily embrace fitness and nutrition to enhance our health and compliment our beauty.

The book reads in a down-to-earth, non-preachy manner and offers good advice and great recipes (love the lean greens!). Liked it so much that I bought 6 of her books and passed them around to my family and friends as holiday gifts this year.

Great Job Dr. Ro! - Kena

This book was a little repetitive, but all in all.... very informative!!!! This book is similar to the 3 hour diet.

The service was prompt and the book was in excellent shape. All vendors should be this good!!!

This book will give you a "hunger" to Eat Better. Dr. Ro wrote in genius style. Best of all, I found the help I needed.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to start on the journey of eating correctly for once and for all. When I received the book, I didn't think I would enjoy it. I thought it would be boring but Dr. Ro makes it very interesting with the way she broke the book down into her own stories and the stories of her readers to explain the importance of how and why we should all eat healthy. The book is targeted for African-American women as we suffer the most from heart disease, diabetes and hypertension but the book is a good, informative read for anyone who wants to finally put a plan together to eat better, exercise and live a healthier life. Any woman would see herself in these stories and be able to put a plan together for a better, healthier life.

My main focus is to change my lifestyle and not just "diet" and this book gave me some information that I found to be an all around educational reading
