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.

I'm pretty surprised no one else has mentioned how religious this book is. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a pretty significant portion of the book. I thought I was buying a book based on nutrition research, but instead I got prayers and Bible verses mixed with inaccurate nutrition facts. For example, they state that any heating of oil is damaging in your body. This is only true if you heat the oil over its smoke point. There were several other statements made in the book that left me scratching my head.

If they wanted to make this a religious-based nutrition book they should have at least let the reader know BEFORE they buy it. I was expecting something completely different than what I received. I think this book is best for Christians who are beginning to learn about nutrition.

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!

Robin Jeep's book offers the whole package--good nutricious food, delicious recipes and the science to back it up. I no longer feel hungry, nor have cravings for sugar-laden food. I've lost over 11 lbs in 6 weeks with essentially no effort. And I have tons of energy and sleep better. I'm a simple cook, so I haven't tried many of the recipes, mostly I eat blueberry-spinach-kale-flaxseed-pomegranite-juice smoothies (yummier than it sounds)for breakfast, have gigantic salads for lunch, and cook simple veggie, bean or fish dishes for dinner. The dishes she made in her cooking class were terrific--especially the creamed kale with onions and chocolate ice cream. I plan to work through her recipe book to expand my repetoire. This is a great book. Do as I did and send it to someone you love and want to keep around and frisky for a long long time.

I am so glad I found this plan! I am eating healthier than I ever have--have lost weight and feel great. The plan will be a lifestyle change forever for me, and I hope for those I love and hold dear. Ruth Collier RN

I love this book! Robin Jeep and Dr. Richard Couey have teamed up to create a healthy nutrition plan that will work for everyone who's serious about reclaiming optimal health--physically, mentally and spiritually.

My husband and I have now been following this nutrient-dense diet plan for over 30 days. We both feel great and have lost weight. My husband's chronic acid-reflux is now history and the "brain-fog" has cleared away completely for both of us. Robin's creative recipes make this lifestyle eating plan interesting and delicious (no deprived feelings whatsoever).
It just feels so good to know my cells are happy to receive the nutrients they need to thrive and keep me healthy.

Thanks Robin...now I'll be looking for you to publish a full cookbook soon! God Bless You.

What we eat is indeed what we are. Filled with healthy, easy to prepare recipes that when you read it, makes perfect sense, which means that intuition agrees with the food recomendations. An excellent, capsulized version of what to eat every day for vibrant health. Includes guides for not only healing the physical, but also those other parts of us that are not as tangible, yet directly affect the physical when those are not correctly balanced. An excellent reference that will remain in my kitchen

What a user-friendly book! Robin is so forthcoming and encouraging. I have tried quite a few recipes and found them delicious. It is amazing how you don't miss oil and butter with these tasty dishes.

This book deals with the whole person. The authors help you lose weight in a healthy way, not just with wonderful recipes, but with tips on relaxation, peer pressure, fitness, etc. Also, the health benefits of many fruits and vegetables are defined and there are sample menus, what to put in your pantry, etc. And........the photographs are gorgeous!
