Editorial Review:

What would you do if a doctor told you that you could cut your risk of heart attack by more than 50 percent just by making a few changes to your diet and lifestyle?

Phil Ades is that doctor and in his exciting book he shares what he has found from more than 25 years of leading research into cardiac rehabilitation: you can change your fate by simply eating well. What's more, he tracks the progress of patients who are living proof of his program's success.

After working with hundreds of patients, Ades has isolated the top factors that have made a difference. He provides an easy-to-follow, step by step program on how to change your eating habits, starting with tracking what you eat and being aware of the number of calories and the types of calories you are consuming.

He then shows how to eliminate the "bad fats" (saturated fats) and increase the "good" ones, using EatingWell's clever heart-healthy recipes that virtually eliminate the need for butter. This simple program demonstrates how a few easy changes can add years to your life. And more than 175 recipes from the acclaimed EatingWell Test Kitchen show you how to make this a delicious journey, with recipe ideas that will become staples you'll pass on to family and friends.

Worth while 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is very well written. It includes case studies and various experimental/anecdotal observations that seem to ring true. I believe controlling inflamation in MS needs to be a full time focus. Dr.Swanks program is stringent but has had a lot of success.

This works for MS and weight loss 5 out of 5 stars.

My father was diagnosed with MS around 90 maybe a little later. All I know is shortly after we found this book. My father was very active but grew up eating whole dairy foods and fating foods. We were healthy eaters and did not buy pre prepared food. We had decent sleep and yet he still had all the symptoms. The doctor gave him a year to five years to live and was told he could try this and it "might" work. The odd thing is that we all went on the diet lost weight, and he has been symptom free since. We don't stick to the diet anymore, but then we don't eat like we used to either. Some of the things in this book are very strict, but they are good habits to have. I know some reviewers are giving it bad marks because the food is dated or the taste are different. If something works I don't think the book should be revised. I am actually kind of glad to see it still out here and in its original form. I am going to buy it again for myself. Its a great book to have even if you just want to try to lose weight. I find it interesting all the fad diets over the years I have seen yet this one really works great. Also there are so many diets and thoughts that correspond with the conclusions that this book makes. If I had MS I would try anything and stick to it 100% if it claims to work. This is one that seems to work rather well for quite a few people. I know it has not been confirmed by Doctors or FDA to actually cure anything. When has it been known though that doctors or FDA ever said food can cure anything? There is no money in that so of course they would never admit something that simple.

Editorial Review:

Hundreds of new recipes for dishes that taste terrific but stick to the diet rules so important for controlling M.S.--now completely revised to conform to the latest medical research.

Editorial Review:

In Full Moon Feast , accomplished chef and passionate food activist Jessica Prentice champions locally grown, humanely raised, nutrient-rich foods and traditional cooking methods. The book follows the thirteen lunar cycles of an agrarian year, from the midwinter Hunger Moon and the springtime sweetness of the Sap Moon to the bounty of the Moon When Salmon Return to Earth in autumn. Each chapter includes recipes that display the richly satisfying flavors of foods tied to the ancient rhythm of the seasons.

Prentice decries our modern food culture: megafarms and factories, the chemically processed ghosts of real foods in our diets, and the suffering—physical, emotional, cultural, communal, and spiritual—born of a disconnect from our food sources. She laments the system that is poisoning our bodies and our communities.

But Full Moon Feast is a celebration, not a dirge. Prentice has emerged from her own early struggles with food to offer health, nourishment, and fulfillment to her readers. She recounts her relationships with local farmers alongside ancient harvest legends and methods of food preparation from indigenous cultures around the world.

Combining the radical nutrition of Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions, keen agri-political acumen, and a spiritual sensibility that draws from indigenous as well as Western traditions, Full Moon Feast is a call to reconnect to our food, our land, and each other.

Editorial Review:

Over ten percent of the population suffer from high blood pressure. Tens of thousands more are afflicted with congestive heart disease.

The No-Salt Cookbook helps you tackle the no-salt/no-flavour dilemma with gusto. No longer do food lovers on salt-free diets have to suffer. This carefully created cookbook offers more than 200 tasty salt-free recipes to help you stay fit and still enjoy eating.

Editorial Review:

At last, great-tasting healthful food -- in thirty minutes or less!

If you have diabetes, then you're careful about your diet. But living with diabetes doesn't have to mean being limited to bland, tasteless foods, nor should you have to spend excessive amounts of time planning and preparing complicated meals. Now the same authors who brought you the award-winning Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook bring you The Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook, with more than 200 recipes for dishes that can be prepared in thirty minutes or less.

Here are recipes for one to four people for every time of day -- from Breakfast Burritos to "Power lunch" dishes to delicious dinner pastas like Mushroom Ravioli with Chunky Tomato Sauce, as well as suggestions for snacks, desserts, and beverages. Nutritional analyses and diabetic exchange information accompany each recipe. You'll also find serving suggestions, advice on what to eat when you're away from home or relying on restaurants, and a section on commonly asked questions about diabetes and nutrition.

Once again, Frances T. Giedt and Bonnie S. Polin, both living with diabetes, have created, in conjunction with the Nutritional Services Staff at the world-famous Joslin Diabetes Center, a delicious array of healthful recipes that will satisfy people with diabetes or anyone in search of quick nutritious meals.

8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I feel that Dana is an old friend as she always adds little tips and comments every thing I have made as turned out wonderful I love her little extra comments I have all her books so far

Extremely Helpful! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This was my first Dana Carpenter book. I had already been introduced to the low carb way of eating, but Dana's book makes it so much more interesting! Her humor and healthy tips inspire me to be faithful. The variety of recipes expand my menu ideas considerably, and also are a springboard for recipes of my own creation.

Because I liked this book so much, I also bought Volume 1 of "500 Recipes" cookbook for myself and 3 others. This second volume, however, is my favorite. I also just purchased Dana's "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 LBS." book, and am enjoying it very much, which I heartily recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about lo carb eating, and also to those who need motivation to continue. It is full of excellent health info.

If you need new recipe ideas, or instruction on how to eat low carb, Dana provides it all in a fun and interesting way. Dana is a great mentor on the path of a low carb lifestyle!

Editorial Review:
