Review:As my doctor says, this is the future of medical thinking. It makes complete sense and is a reminder of really how basic our systems are. Of course they are infinitely complex but the concepts are so logical. This should be required reading for anyone in medicine as well as anyone who wants to understand how to keep our bodies working as they were designed to. Note that this book complements another worthy read: Farmacology by Daphne Miller, M.D. Read more

Review:As an RN I find this information easy for the lay person to understand and apply. My brother has used a lot of this information and his diabetes is very controlled (off medication) and he has no other diabetic related problems. This is a must read for all diabetes and their families. The large print book is so helpful! Read more

Review:The whole planet is getting fat, each cow uses over 2000 gallons of water, cows and chickens produce a huge amount of methane and global warming, and animal fats cause heart attacks (read the story about Norway in WW2). I'm curious: Is there ANY benefit to eating a high calorie, non-plant based diet?
If you can't just do it, this book makes it doable. Read more

Review:I listen to the podcast, so I had pre-ordered the book. It has some really great information about plant based diets, especially for athletes. I haven't tried the recipes yet but I'm sure that I will. They are pretty straight forward, not too many crazy ingredients. The thing that bugs me is the "no oil" option. I know that it's not just a No Meat Athlete thing, but I view it as extremely extreme. They don't preach it, but they include options. So I guess I can shut up and do the version o... Read more

Review:Having recently read Joel Furhman's Eat to Live, I have already been convinced by the data supporting this book's dietary recommndations. What Lisle & Goldhamer offer are penetrating insights into why we are so reluctant to change our eating habits. Explaining our reluctance in terms of our most basic biological drives, motivations that we share with every living species on the planet, was remarkable. Each chapter holds a couple of "gems" where I thought, "That makes perfect sense--why didn'... Read more

Review:This book helps tremendously in making sense of all the myths, misinformation, confusion, and biases that perpetuate the hi animal protein mindset. So much research has been done, and so much more has been misused and misconstrued. This book will help separate the wheat from the chaffe as it were. Read more

Review:Practicing science requires careful collection of data, rigorous analysis of that data and then following that analysis wherever it leads, especially when the analysis leads into new territory or challenges old paradigms. In "Whole" Mr. Campbell accomplishes those requirements and exposes a lot of conventional nutritional thinking as unsubstantiated at best. Bravo! Read more

Review:Dr. McDougall makes a case for complex carbs as an essential to a healthy diet. He has been consistent in his approach and as many have come and gone his work remains. It is a true path to healthy eating. "The Starch Solution" is Dr. McDougall's signature work. It brings together decades of research and personal experimentation. Read more

Review:Read this cover to cover the day we got it, and the hardest thing was picking a recipe to try first!

The use of miso in many of these recipes to replace salt is brilliant - we had the yellow rice & black beans with broccoli as our main dinner course and the miso added a salty kick that we could feel good about eating. It was shockingly delicious and packed with umami flavor. We also made the stuffed sweet potatoes with balsamic-date glaze, so good! This food doesn't TASTE like you're ... Read more

Review:I purchased the hardcover book which is beautifully illustrated with a color picture by each recipe. The print is large enough to be easily read. The recipes give step by step instructions that are easy to follow with ingredients that are readily found in stores with the exception of the Fuhrman seasonings which are optional. I like this book because most of the recipes do not call for soy, tahini, or miso. The three recipes that I have tried turned out well & were enjoyed by my family. ... Read more
