About the Author

Roe Gallo, M. A., is a powerful and dynamic motivational speaker, trainer and consultant on health and fitness. She lives what she teaches.

Roe came close to death many times because of an asthmatic condition that she had since birth. In order to breathe, she ingested steroids and used inhalers. Her doctors gave her the death sentence. They told her that if the asthma didn't kill her, the steroids would. At the age of 25, after another near fatal attack and all the negative side affects from the steroids, she decided to take control of her life (and death). Roe studied how the body works naturally. Using diet, fasting and a positive mental attitude, she detoxified her body and got her life back.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book ROCKS!!!!!!!, November 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Perfect Body: Beyond The Illusion (Paperback)

I am amazed by the fact that this book isn't more popular than it is. I'd never seen it in regular bookstores like Borders, and only stumbled upon it a few months ago in a health food store. Roe Gallo focuses on weight loss/health "techniques" the human species has used to stay lean and healthy for thousands of years, and she knows how to say things in a way that is encouraging and motivating. What she teaches is totally natural and makes complete sense. I lost weight 7 years ago, and have kept it off, by eating very much in the way she recommends (by eating more fruit and raw foods). I bought this book to learn more about fasting. I am actually writing my own weight loss book and plan to recommend this book in my own book. She is a fantastic teacher, very inspiring, and I hope this book will become more popular in the future, as her methods are not only good for the body, but they are good for the environment. She's helped people cure a multitude of diseases from Acne to Cancer. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone.

This review is from: Perfect Body: Beyond The Illusion (Paperback)

What a cool book! Not only does it give you the scientific underpinnings to change your perspective on your body's health & biological age, it gives you practical things to do that really make a difference in how you feel. Some of the recommendations were extremely helpful. Others will take me a bit longer to incorporate into my life, but I am working on it! I really love Roe Gallo's attitude and looks. What a great role model.

If you're looking to make a healthier change for the better in your life, I definitely recommend checking this book out.

4.0 out of 5 stars The simplest truths are hardest to believe, December 10, 2006

Max - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perfect Body: Beyond The Illusion (Paperback)

This book delivers a simple truth that most of us are just not willing to accept - we are killing ourselves one forkful at a time. Still, there may be a change coming and it won't be too soon. One only has to monitor the yahoo news these days to sense the shift in the awareness of the country to our growing crisis - obesity. In Perfect Body the author eschews the fad diet approach and gets down to the basics of what is nutritious for us. The rest is toxic, plain and simple. Don't mistake this book for a guide to a raw food or vegan life style, its purpose is to help people break the cycle of self-afflicted toxicity that is at the root many of the health issues that plague us, our families and friends. The book does cover a lot, moving from food, to exercise to positive thinking, and sometimes leaves the reader wanting a bit more depth. It's simple in style, however, the basic principles revealed in the book just make sense, and the numerous testimonials were evidence enough for me. The detoxification regimen and diet guidelines are very rigorous, and it's no wonder that many of the author's testimonials came to her program with serious health issues and few alternatives. Still, I adapted the basic principles to fit into my life and it worked. I lost weight, my cholesterol ratio improved by 50%, my energy is up and I feel great. Read it with an open mind.
