This is the first book of its kind, that basically summarizes how to be successful on the living and raw food diet. I believe that David has summarized what I have struggled to learn on my own, on how to be balanced on the diet. It is an excellent book for beginners and people that have already embraced this way of natural living. I wish the book would have been published about 5 years ago, it would have made my life much easier, but I did enjoy the (much slower) path of learning on my own, what he shares in his book.

This is a very good raw food book. It's a book for the person who is determined to make raw food their diet choice. It's full of raw food information, which makes it a great reference book. If you're a busy person, maybe a more recreational reader, and need/want something concise and easy to read, this might not be the book for you (yet). If your goal is to be as informed as you can be about what you're eating and what it does to your body, energy, well being, and just about everything else, then this is a book you must buy, read, and keep on your bookshelf as a reference.

Overall, I tend to agree that living foods are the way to go, and intuitively, the idea of the sunfood triangle in the book makes sense.

However, there are some serious problems with the book. For example, the author claims that the "high" one gets from the alkaloids in coffee and psychoactive drugs (hemp, etc.) is due to the alkalizing effect of the alkaloids on the blood. This is not correct. While it is true that ALKAloids are ALKAlizing, the general class of plant alkaloids used in herbal medicine (which includes caffeine, etc.) work by forcing metabolic change in the body, or by directly influencing brain chemistry. Eating lots of spinach is NOT equivalent to (herbal) plant alkaloids.

There are other errors in the book, such as applying the "quantum jump" metaphor to explain evolution - a situation where Quantum Mechanics does not apply. In general, the author makes many claims without providing a source, which given some of the more radical claims less believable. I would take a lot of the information with a big grain of NaCl.

However, the more specific advice makes a lot of sense. (avoiding seedless fruits, the sunfood triangle, buying organic, etc.)

I am new to the idea of raw foods, and this is the first book that I have read on the subject. It was perfect for me because it has alot of information that gave me a better understanding, and also many reasons to back the information up. This book is written with a very positive and energetic attitude which made it easy for me to read, and also made me willing to try its ideas. There are journal activities that helped me to personalize the ideas and fit them into my own life. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for inspiration along with new and clear knowlede.

In life we are exposed to information that literally changes who we are becoming.

The Sunfood Diet Success System does that it takes what we already know deep down inside and simply reminds us of what Heaven on Earth can be and how to do it.

What impresses me most about the book is the way it is written the flow of the book is powerful. Dave literally walks you through a personal transformation from his own and others experiences. Dave words are even more powerful because he is an example of what can be and walks his talk.

In a world full of information that confuses most people the Sunfood Diet Success System removes any confusion and allows you to live life fully.

No home should be without this book.

Thank you Dave for putting together a masterpiece.

This book will change your life.

When you first start reading the book you are amazed at the info being provided and you begin to feel like you have just had a dark cloud lifted from around you but..... It's a big but, you start to read lines that are a bit radical that don't seem like it's something that can really work. All of us can't retreat to the woods and eat watermelon (with the seeds mind you) all day. Stuff like that was annoying. I do however agree with a lot of the food principles especially since a lot of it has been substantiated by other authors. I do find this book is good as a reference from time to time and I try not to think to hard about the patronizing attitude of the author.

This book is simply wonderful: profound, educational, sensible, practical, sacred, witty, etc., etc., etc. This book will takes us step-by-step through the process of embracing the best diet on earth next to breatharinism -- raw foods. The Sunfoods Diet takes the fear out of major dietary change, and will most likely become the raw foodist "Bible" of the new millenium -- and well it should. Author, David Wolfe's name,without a doubt, will become a household name over the next few years.

This Book is now my favorite book, next to the Bible. It could save your life, and it will help you no matter where you are sitting. We all need to get our thoughts and emotions and our health in the right places to prosper and this book will help you in every area of your life. I have seven people in my family. All 7 of us now have a copy of the book and it is almost the only thing we talk about. We are so excited about what this book has done for many members of our family. It will change your life and your whole well-being. Thank You God for the wisdom you have imparted upon the author to help people in all areas of our lives. Even though the book does not impart a biblical message, it has brought me closer to God. It will bring anybody closer to their spiritual selves as well as being able to take control of their lives. This is a book the whole world must read!

Just as a tropical mango, glistening in the Sun, is an open invitation to eat it, reading this book is an open invitation to live it. Written by one who clearly does, this book is an inspiring synthesis of life-proven success technologies and the author's understanding of Nature's unchanging laws. --Eliot Jay Rosen, author of Experiencing the Soul
