5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!, June 21, 2007

I have been researching healthy eating for quite awhile, but have had a hard time finding something that actually worked for me and was truely all natural. I loved this book and am loving eating like this. Having previously been on the Body for Life regime where I was told to eat tons of protein, I found this way of eating so refreshing and much easier on my body. I feel great and am finally seeing some results. I was also recently diagnosed with Hypothyoidism and by changing my eating habits as described in 'Perfect Health', I am finally starting to feel energetic again. This way of eating is very satisfying and I don't have the sugar cravings anymore...I actually passed up cookies today at a social gathering and didn't think much of it! I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Perfect Health: The Natural Way (Paperback)

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this very informative healthy eating lifestyle book. I have slowly implemented changes into my lifestyle and the results have been wonderful. I have lost weight without dieting and my energy levels are at an all time high. I now eat nuts and avocados without feeling guilty and I love drinking fresh orange juice - just small changes that have made a world of difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book, August 29, 2008

This review is from: Perfect Health: The Natural Way (Paperback)

I love all the info; I don't care about some health experts who are saying now there's no benefit to food combining. What I'm saying to you who are reading this; YOU FEEL GREAT eating what this lady says to eat.

It takes a few days to get used to it; like anything.. but then, you have so much energy, you'll be housekeeping at 10pm, it is just great to eat and feel like it was just what your body wanted.
