If you're new to eating raw--like me 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This publication is quite informative for those of us new to eating raw; however, I suggest you purchase a raw cookbook with quick meals to keep you inspired to eat raw as you dehydrate foods for meals in this publication. One suggestion is "Raw Food Made Easy for One or Two" by Jennifer Cornbleet. There is a transitioning section in "The Idiot's Guide", but again much of the foods require dehydration which can take days.

The "Complete Idiot's Guide" is recommended by me for its informative take on raw eating and meal variety. There is helpful information on the pantry, tools to purchase and websites to check out. You'll be satisfied with this publication. Would have been given 5 stars if quicker meals were incorporated to transition you into raw eating.

Good but a bit similar 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is a great book but it's a bit similar to the Eat Clean Diet book. It's really all of the same information but with a family spin on it. This book is quite a bit thicker than the first book and has some great recipes and information. I'm glad I bought it and am enjoying it but I wish it had been more of a cookbook.

The Clean Eat Diet for Family and Kids 5 out of 5 stars.

Great Book!!!!!! Great recipies and very informative. My kids love the recipes too! and that's the point, show them that eat healthy doesn't mean eat food that doesn't taste good.
I LOVE IT!!!

I've tried it and it makes sense. Especially in the summertime when so many fresh veggies are available. E. Mullens

I have to say up front that I am a Tosca Reno fan. I have emailed her several times and each time recieved an answer, whether from her or not. This is a wonderful cookbook on its own, but also a great book that should scare any parent away from fast food or prepackaged foods. And if you do not have children the recipes still work for adults. I have both cookbooks and use them often. Every recipe I have tried works. That says a lot for any cookbook.

Editorial Review:

We have been hearing for years now about the obesity epidemic and other health issues facing children. In fact, the longevity trend is reversing with this generation - children born today are not expected to live as long as their parents. In The Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids, author Tosca Reno handles this issue with typical aplomb.

Editorial Review:

Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About." Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy.

From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered "food products" – produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration – government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good – laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs – which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high – are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels.

And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and – most importantly – potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy.

So follow Kevin on an amazing journey through the behind-the-scenes world of corporate sponsored "nutrition" and "health," and learn about "Natural Cures 'THEY' Don't Want You To Know About."

Except for the lack of pictures..... 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

this is an excellent cookbook. A lot of few ingredient recipes, and lots of recipes that don't call for exotic ingredients. I hate finding a good recipe and then there's that one ingredient that I don't have on hand, or worse yet, one that I have to go to a gourmet store to find. None of that in this book!

A wonderful cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

The recipes I have tried have been wonderful, and fast and easy. The Fitness Flan has become a family favorite

Great Ideas 5 out of 5 stars.

This book has really great ideas, but you need to remember to watch the amount of carbs... The American Heart Association does recommend a diet that is higher in carbs...

Liked the brand name references! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Being newly diagnosed as celiac I can say it is very confusing and reading lables is a time consuming job BUT in this book they list brand names of products that are normally glute/wheat free such as condiments and such. I still read labels, but with the help of the brand name references it helps to point me in the right direction. Easy to follow recipes even for the beginner.

Editorial Review:

Miracle cure stories abound when it comes to natural healing. A super nutrient reverses cancer after chemotherapy has failed. A Chinese herb lowers high blood pressure in a patient with heart disease after being dismissed as quackery by doctors. Jordan S. Rubin’s account of returning from the medical abyss, however, includes an original twist. After several years of battling Crohn’s Disease, which included a small fortune spent on both conventional and alternative treatments, as well as trips abroad in search of help, Rubin weighed only 111 pounds and, at just age 21, thought his life was over. At the urging of his father, a naturopath, he contacted an obscure nutritionist in California promoting a diet based on the teachings of the Bible. Yes, we’re talking what Jesus ate: kefir, lamb, sprouted breads, eggs and meat from free-range chickens, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Rubin also started to pray and added a new powder supplement containing homeostatic soil organisms (HSOs) to his diet. Four months later he weighed 170 lbs and was on the road back to his former athletic and healthy self. Inspired by his experience, and now with advanced degrees in nutrition and naturopathic medicine, Rubin has crafted The Maker’s Diet. While the faithful will surely find the book of interest, Rubin’s command of the scientific issues underpinning his recommendations may also appeal to those more accustomed to studying food labels in search of what to eat than ancient religious texts. --Patrick Jennings
