4.0 out of 5 stars The Food Doctor, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Food Doctor: Healing Foods For Mind & Body (Paperback)

I have a lot of nutrition and healing books, but I like this one the best. The layout of the book is very colorful, and easy to read. The authors are concise and knowledgeable, and they make using the book very easy. There isn't a lot of confusing data or medical terms either. Instead the authors state everything very simply, and make it easy to understand for the average Joe or Jane. There is a list of the top 100 foods, and I have found it very helpful when changing my diet. This book also has yummy and easy to prepare recipies, as well as sections on various ailments and what foods to eat to help remedy them. I found this book to be a great information source in getting healthy and fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Diet & Nutrition Book EVER!, December 18, 2007

This review is from: The Food Doctor - Fully Revised and Updated: Healing Foods for Mind and Body (Paperback)

I was introduced to The Food Doctor Everyday Diet while visiting a friend in the U.K. recently. I was sceptical at first. In the month that I was there, my friend who had been using the advice in the book all year, cooked according to the author. I lost 10 lbs...never was hungry...and feel wonderful!! It is the best ever!! For me, having taken nutrition coursework, the book made perfect sense. I only had to "tweak" my diet a little bit. So, I had to have my own copy! Well worth doing the diet...try it for a month...and you will see!! WANNA FEEL BETTER? HAVE BETTER HEALTH? Also get: The Food Doctor - Fully Revised and Updated: Healing Foods for Mind and Body This book has helped me also...in that it contains recipes for specific health issues.
