So I haven't started to fully jump into this eating style, but I think I will give it a shot. Loren Cordain Ph.D makes a great case as to what diet us in modern time should be eating - the diet our Paleo ancestors ate.

Lean meats,...

Fact: Paleo Man didn't drink diet soda. This is the first thing that turned me off about this book. Here Cordain, a big advocate of non-processed foods, states in his rules processed foods are not to be consumed, and then lists diet soda in his...

I am a certified weight consultant & the author of Asian Slim Secrets. I can agree with the author that lean meat, seafood, fruit & vegetables are healthy. However, I do not agree that one should get rid of cereals and legumes from their diet. It...

I started eating whole / unprocessed foods - high fat, moderate protein, low carb in January of 2009. (in other words, atkins! :D)
I have lost 30 pounds so far (only have 35 to lose) and changed my way of eating forever. I absolutely LOVE...

The five-star reviews sound like biased raves from members of the Dana Carpender Fan Club, while other reviews helpfully warn that many of the recipes, while low-carb, use lots of butter and beef, which make them high cholesterol meaning they're...

I found about 10 or 15 recipes that I would actually use, and have tried a few and they were very good. Maybe that is par for the course with cookbooks , and considering the reasonable cost I'm not complaining. I'm happy to find some...

I am a Chinese Singaporean but here in Singapore, our study and work language is English. Thus far, I've been hearing about the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from the older, Chinese-speaking generation and could never fully grasp...

I couldn't get past the innumerable grammatical errors and poor writing in this book, and was turned off by the discussion of modern pop-illnesses like candidiasis. The book is also littered with self-promoting references to the author's other...

I recently ordered this book to learn something about TCM and nutrition. Given the title, the description, and the reputation of the author, it seemed like a good deal. But don't be misled by these facts without noticing that the book is only...

This book was recommended to me by my doctor when I asked him some questions about nutrition. I quite enjoyed this book and most certainly feel it was worth my while. There's not much that's mind-blowing here, there's no easy or magic secret to...

There's nothing really wrong with this book. But it seems very middle of the road and determined not to offend. The basic message is to eat more whole grains, fruit and veggies and less red meat and dairy products. This same message can be found...

I've enjoyed Dr. Willett's book. The reading is easy and was very informative for me. He gives a few recipes to follow and that is my criticism: I think he should have given a month's worth of meal plans. Sometimes leaving everything up to the...

I was given this book and didn't know what to expect. I started reading and couldn't put it down because it was a reflection of our approach to eating - whole/real foods with a minimum amount of processed items. I agree that eating healthy is an...

I enjoyed the information in the book, extremely helpful for getting your family on track nutritionally. I was very disappointed in a book written in 2006 reinforcing such rigid gender stereotypes. In the food shopping with your kids section,...

The Good
The book has a lot of really good info as far as good carbs vs. bad carbs, good fats vs. bad fats, and so on. Also has good ideas on how to slip healthier foods into your family's diets without them fighting.

The Bad...

This book was the first raw food book that I bought, and was sufficiently inspirational to get me "hooked" on raw for life! Carol does an amazing job! This is a wonderful book for beginners, or raw foodists who are having difficulty staying...

Alt's was my first raw foods book and got me intrigued with eating raw mostly because I'd not seen anything else on the subject before. It's not by any means the best, however. As other reviewers indicate, this is a sketchy raw foodism guide...

I did like this book and enjoyed Carol Alt's honesty. However, I wanted more information. The intention of this book is to be a beginners guide to a raw food lifestyle and that is exactly what it is. I finished and was very excited, however I...

This book was exactly what I was looking for. The seller sent the item fast, was courteous, and excellent condition of merchandise. It was a pleasure buying from this seller, and I will buy from this seller again. If you have any type of chronic...

just another "health" book. on the plus side it is a simple read, not very complicated. very repetitive, though. the author ,like other authors, has his favorite health remedies or cure-alls that he repeats, namely flax oil. i don't think...

This books is good to use as a Bible study; however, I was expecting to find information a lot easier. It's not a reference book, and to find specific health information you have to really dig for it.

There's a lot of good information here. As a teacher of twenty-five years, and as a parent, I've dealt with more than my share of overweight kids, and read everything that comes along on the subject. And although this book is one of the better...

This book is amazing! It is exactly the solution I needed! It explains, in detail, what is happening to my forty something body. My body has been changing for years now, and the weight has piled on and the old solutions just don't do it anymore....

Reading through these reviews has left me with one question: "Who is Nancy Lloyd and what is her connection to this author?" Does it strike anyone else as just a tad bit too much of a coincidence that every fifth reviewer just happen to have her...

It's o.k. The whole point of the book is that fat around your middle after 40 is mostly caused by stress eating. Book goes into too much detail of how the body metabolizes different foods which you'd need to have a medical background to...

When this book showed up I was a bit overwhelmed. It is more of a reference manual than practical reading, but this volume has SO MUCH valuable information! I will consult this often!
