Editorial Review:

At last, a book about eating (and eating well) or health -- from Andrew Weil, the brilliantly innovative and greatly respected doctor who has been instrumental in transforming the way Americans think about health. Now Dr. Weil -- whose nationwide bestsellers Spontaneous Healing and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health have made us aware of the body's capacitiy to heal itself -- provides us with a program for improving our well-being by making informed choices about how and what we eat.

Dr. Weil makes clear how an optimal diet can both supply the basic needs of the body and fortify the body's defenses and mechanisms of healing. And he always stresses that good food -- and the good feeling it engenders at the table -- is not only a delight but also necessary to our well being so that eating for health means enjoyable eating.

Eating Well for Optimum Health is a hugely practical and inspiring book about food, diet and nutrition that stands to change -- for the better and the healthier -- our most fundamental ideas about eating.

Okay but not necessary 3 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

This journal goes along with Tosca Reno's Eat-clean Diet Workout Book. However,it can be used to track any weight training progress. It does have some motivational sayings/info on the pages, but nothing that's not common knowledge. Basically there are two charts: one for weekly, monthly and long-term goals and one to list the exercises. On the exercise chart are spaces to list body part, exercise, and the weight/reps used for up to 5 sets. At the bottom of the page is a space to note cardio activity and general notes. Samples of each of the charts is in the author's Eat-clean Diet Workout book and can be reproduced from there. I gave it 3 stars because you have to write in the name of the each exercise and pound used each day. Also there is not any designated nutrition notes. This is surprising given Reno's emphasis on clean eating and frequent small meals. Other journals provide space for nutrition and weights used. Reno's book might work as a motivating tool if you like to have the matching set of books. Otherwise, keep a computer based journal or use a regular spiral notebook/steno pad to keep track of your progress.

Editorial Review:

In The Eat-Clean Diet Workout, Tosca Reno explains the importance of keeping a training journal: With a few simple flicks of the pages, I can see how I was training seven years ago or seven weeks ago. This is indispensable as a tool for success. The Eat-Clean Diet Workout Journal offers not only journal entry sheets, but also goal sheets to help you keep track of your short- and long-term goals, great photos, motivational quotes, and tips from Tosca. In addition there are anatomy charts and pages to record your weight and measurements to track your improvements.

Not what the title suggest 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Although this book has some useful information it is not as the title suggest. It is not a "diet" book. I bought this book because my husband and I are trying to change our diet to a more PH balanced way of living. We have already found that by balancing the PH levels we can all but eliminated acid reflux. When I saw this book I thought it would have a list of alkaline and acidic foods and a diet plan to follow. This book is nothing more than testimony as to what vitamins you should take in order to achieve better health. The test that is referred to is nothing more than taking a supplement on an empty stomach, waiting for results and translating how red you are into the meat eater, grain eater or combo of the two. So again, while there is some useful information I would not have bought this book had I had a chance to flip through it before hand.

Editorial Review:

Balancing the body's acid alkaline pH factor to improve health is the hot new treatment in alternative medicine. The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet clarifies for you this cutting-edge option with an easy-to-follow food combination program and herbal therapy regime that redefines the notion of a "well-balanced diet." By balancing the body's acidity levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions, including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease. With information organized by affliction, you can quickly find the help you need. Anecdotal success stories offer inspiring evidence that this dietary/lifestyle change really works.

Wonderful Recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have purchased many books on juicing. Most of them have strange ingredients in the recipe or hard to find ingredients. Not this book. The author gives some very simple and yet wonderful recipes that I use on a daily basis. I live in a small rual town so it isn't practical to have a jucing book that requires hard to find ingredients. I can find all the ingredients that the author has listed in this book. If someone asked me to recommend a book on juicing, I would recommend this one as their first choice. It is not only good for the beginner but also the more experienced juicer. Happy Juicing! Thanks Jay for such a great and yet simple book.

Great Book! 4 out of 5 stars.

It's totally fun juicing with this great book. Everybody should have this.

The best book for juicing recipes I have found so far 5 out of 5 stars.

I love the simplicity of this book and its great, simple recipes. I have purchased quite a few juicing books but like this one the best.
