Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Useful as a companion volume to Harvey and Marilyn Diamond's Fit for Life ( LJ 6/15/85), and offering the same theory of nutrition, this is a revised edition of The Common Sense Guide to a New Way of Eating (Golden Glow, 1979). As in Fit for Life the emphasis is on the consumption of high water-content foods (raw fruits and vegetables), and proper food combining as an aid to satisfactory digestion. All of the recipes are fairly simple, as might be expected when the emphasis is on raw foods. Recipes for soups and cooked vegetables and grains are also included. While this program is not a scientifically proven theory of nutrition, the author (and her husband) are extremely popular and well publicized so there will probably be requests for this book.Susan E.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, healthy recipes that taste good, January 21, 2002

This review is from: A New Way of Eating from the Fit for Life Kitchen (Mass Market Paperback)

I like this cooking book and use it wuite often. It has several sections, and I especially like the one on salads and salad dressings and the one of fruit smoothies. The book can actually be used by people who have not read the Fit for Life books, too, as it contains a summary of the main info on food combining and fruit consumption; while Fit for Life fans will like it as it will bring nice new recipes in their kitchen, while still assuring them they are eating as healthy as possible.

The book contains several sections: fruit smoothies, juices and salads; vegetable salads and many dressings for them: sandwitches (yes, you can have a properly combined sandwicth, and once you had one, you won't want to go back to the old way!); soups; vegetable dishes; feast and buffest dishes.

The recipes are simple to realize even for people who don't have much experience in cooking, and they are realized with readily available items. This book will allow you to cook for your family and know they are eating properly without much effort on your side, and they'll like what you cook!

Particularly recommended for vegetarians! But anyone will like this book.

This book helped me to drop 30 pounds in less than 6 weeks. I feel alive again. I've never felt this good. Not only did I take the weight off, but I also lost my asthma and chronic fatigue. Thank you Marilyn Diamond.
