5.0 out of 5 stars Tried it, got healthy, February 2, 2008

By	Arlene Dodson "Arlene" (Texas) - See all my reviews

My husband and I tried the eating and exercise from this book. We not only shed pounds quickly, we feel healthier than ever--less pain and allergies. Blood tests before and after showed reduced inflamation, lower triglycerides, huge increase in red blood cells and infection fighting T-cells. I finally feel like I'm cooking in a healthy way. Dr. Couey has the science behind it and Robin's recipes and hints on buying and cooking healthy really help me transition to a lifestyle I think we can keep. A nice sidelight is that this helped my lifetime reflux and constipation.

I gave my first copy to a friend and referring my friends. Now I'm ordering another one.

By	Lb Hollingsworth "lbhollingsworth" (Waco, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Super Antioxidant Diet and Nutrition Guide by Robin Jeep and Dr. Richard Couey is outstanding in my opinion. The lifestyle changes that are recommended provide both weight loss and improved health. When I started the class and purchased the book, I was not interested in weight loss, but had been sick for about a year. This program has improved my immune system and helped me to to feel energized and healthy. As stated in the book, the body has a miraculous way of healing itself if nourished properly. I highly recommend the guide and the class. Additionally, the book includes delicious, world-class recipes, a section on how to arrange your kitchen, tips on shopping for healthy foods, and much more. For those interested in weight loss, ideal weight can be achieved as a natural progression following this guide. If you are fortunate enough to have access to the class, don't miss it!
