From the Back Cover

Improve your health and extend your days with simple food choices

Today we have an abundance of options when it comes to the food we eat. But all foods are not created equal. In fact, some food should not even be labeled food but rather "consumable product" or "edible, but void of nourishment."

In Eat This and Live! Dr. Don Colbert provides a road map to help you navigate this often treacherous territory. Based on the key principles for healthy eating in Dr. Colbert's New York Times best seller, The Seven Pillars of Health, this practical guidebook to food includes "Dr. Colbert Approved" foods and restaurant menu choices, along with helpful tips, charts, and nutrition information that will make it easier for you to stay healthy and lose weight. Now is the time to build the rest of your life on this wonderful pillar of health--living food!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone NEEDS to read this book!, January 2, 2009

This review is from: Eat This And Live: Simple food choices that can help you feel better, look younger, and live longer! (Paperback)

This book is a MUST READ! I bought it the other day at the Family Christian Store and I have been unable to put it down since. There are so many great references as to why we should eat certain foods to live a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Colbert describes two types of foods- "The Living and the Dead foods". This really opened my eyes about many things. First God put everything here on this earth for us to enjoy. America has gotten so out of hand with eating JUNK that we really do need to get back to basics. This book was great in describing what foods have what nutrients and vitamins. Since reading it I have thrown away my Splenda packets that I put in my coffee every morning, my fat free whip cream because of the unhealthy oils, and I'm refusing to let my kids eat that junk as well. We have never been fast food junkies but we do have the occasional chickfila sandwich. I LOVE healthy foods and I have always been interested in eating healthy. I exercise and do the right things yet this book still had more to offer and taught me that much more about my health. It really was an inspiration and motivation to continue on with the things I know I should do. People don't understand fully that eating right isn't a "diet" it's a way of life. Are bodies weren't intended to have crap put in them. I keep my pantry stocked with healthy snacks (almonds, whole grains) and when you eat healthy you just feel better all over in every aspect of your life. Eat to live don't live to eat!

This review is from: Eat This And Live: Simple food choices that can help you feel better, look younger, and live longer! (Paperback)

A good common sense book on how to eat right and live longer. Very easy to read and understand. Dr. Colbert drives home the point that if we don't follow his advise we are on the path to a life of illness and an early death. This book specifically tells us the results (both good and bad) of eating various foods. Excellent source of information on eating out and the damage that eating fast food is doing to our health. I am buying several additional copies to pass around to those I care about.

This review is from: Eat This And Live: Simple food choices that can help you feel better, look younger, and live longer! (Paperback)

I enjoyed holding this book in my hand. It's the perfect size (could fit in my purse), it's printed on extra thick paper (didn't get dog-eared in said purse), and it has tons of colorful graphics, photo's, charts, facts, tips, etc. It's one of those books you can pull out of your purse and read in snatches (like while waiting for the kids to come to the car after school). Apart from its great look and feel, Eat This and Live! is a wealth of important information about our everyday food choices. But be warned; Dr. Colbert does set the bar (sometimes ridiculously) high when he writes of good and bad foods. Yet, if you love facts on health and nutrition, and you're striving to eat a more healthful diet in 2009, then this book is definitely for you!
