Health and Success Thru Planning 5 out of 5 stars.
22 of 23 people found this review helpful.

When I first tried this "diet" I was feeling very sick--obese and lethargic and completely down; I felt like this was my last chance.

After THREE DAYS on this plan, I felt 100% better. I didn't have the swelling in my feet and legs; I didn't have the bloating I had been experiencing. The first week I lost 10 lbs; the second week I lost 5 lbs; the third week, another 5 lbs. After that, I settled down to between .5 and l.5 lbs a week.

As long as I follow the plan, I feel great and lose weight or maintain weight depending on what I am trying to do.

This is the best "diet" for me because I don't have to weigh anything, I don't have to measure anything in detail (eye measure is about it) and once I had been on the plan for a few weeks, I knew exactly what I could and couldn't eat. Its the first plan that has really worked for me and been relatively plainless as well.

Issues of Western interest are discussed, such as raw versus cooked foods, high cholesterol, food allergies, and candidacies. It includes the Chinese medical descriptions of 200 Western food and similar information on vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
NEW features in the SECOND EDITION include Chinese characters and pinyin throughout the text for important terms. Not one, but several healthy eating pyramids for different dietary styles. New discussions of the modern Western diet, trans-fat, corn syrup, pesticides, and chemical additives. Recipes for pattern discriminations and a concise history of Chinese dietary therapy.

Buy this book - save your life 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Written by an experienced Miami cardiologist, the Miami Mediterranean Diet is an excellent introduction to the lifestyle and recipes of the Mediterranean diet, as filtered through an American lens, which, nevertheless, retains all of the heart-healthy benefits of the original Mediterranean diet.

Far from being just another fad diet, The Mediteranean diet is the only diet clinically proven, for more than four decades now, to reduce the incidence of heart disease, cancer and stroke, and possibly neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Michael Ozner makes the case for moving away from the pro-inflammatory American diet towards the anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet in order to prevent atherosclerosis, heart disease and other inflammation-related ailments that are all-too common in the West.

The Miami Mediterranean diet features plenty of low-fat, high-fiber, olive-oil-rich, flavor-packed recipes made with fresh fruits and vegetables, fatty fish, lean dairy, nuts, legumes and whole grains. It will help you lose weight and change your lifestyle for the better, for once and for all. This is a diet that anyone can benefit from, whether you are seeking to lose weight, prevent diabetes, reduce allergy or arthritis symptoms, reverse heart disease, or avoid IBS symptoms. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Wake up, America! Low-carb diets are potentially danggerous and there are no long-term studies proving their safety or efficacy. The Mediterranean diet has been around for thousands of years. It is safe and clinically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Moreover, the Mediterranean cuisine is delicious and the ingredients needed to prepare the recipes can be found in any grocery store. Isn't this the type of diet that you want for yourself and your family?

Great cookbook which has withstood the test of time. 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I bought this cookbook back around 1992 and the tattered paperback is the most used cookbook in my kitchen.

I live with a vegetarian, so most of what I've cooked has been the meatless recipes, and without exception, they have all been wonderful! Some of these recipes are also my potluck dinner staples (esp the Tri-Color Chickpea Salad). The Quick Lasanga with Bean Sauce has been the hit of every party I've taken it to, and the Lentil soup is to die for.

At one point, I went through a heavy-duty baking phase, and tried many of the muffin and quick bread recipes in this book. Again, there wasn't a dud in the bunch - everything I baked was excellent and won praise from all who partook.

Most of the recipes in this book are very good "as is" (they don't need much futzing with). There is some prep work involved (lots of chopping of veggies and the like), so many of the recipes do take some time. Almost half of the book consists of information about food, nutrition, cooking hints and techniques, which I've found to be very useful. Personally, if you have to have one main cookbook, I'd say that this should be it!

Editorial Review:

From the nationally bestselling author of Jane Brody's Nutrition Book comes "the ultimate, reabable, understandable, practical, and useful book on how to live sensibly and well . . . a primer on the new nutrition and weight control" (Craig Claiborne). Contains over 350 recipes.

The Good Eating Bible 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

When it comes to food and cooking, this is one of my top 3 favorite and most used books. Though this has recipes, that is not where its value lies. This book is a guide to understanding and appreciating quality in your food. Some of the foods covered are olive oils, vinegars (balsamic and others), cheese, bread, pasta, chocolate, etc. Each section tells you what makes for quality and recommends brands to try. If you love good food, this is a MUST HAVE!

Knowledge is power! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I really enjoyed this book. As a lover of food, I was elated to discover this book. He includes history and just an over all knowledge of fine foods and how you can tell when you get your hands on them! The commercialization of fine foods (like balsamic vinegar) often times loses the art. I appreciate the art of creating fine foods and am grateful to now have a little extra "Zing" and knowledge when I'm shopping for them.

Editorial Review:

Hailed by the New York Times, Esquire, and the Atlantic Monthly as one of the best delicatessens in the country, Zingerman's is a trusted source for superior ingredients — and an equally dependable supplier of information about food. Now, Ari Weinzweig, the founder of Zingerman's, shares two decades of knowledge gained in his pursuit of the world's finest food products: oils, vinegar, and olives; bread, pasta, and rice; cheeses and cured meats; seasonings like salt, pepper, and saffron; vanilla, chocolate, and tea.

Look For Better Choice 3 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The basic idea of avoiding certain foods that aren't good for the body is worthwhile. However, the book rambles in information that isn't that helpful. The key is eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding mucus causing foods. An internet search may give you the quick information of this and you can skip this book. Also, books that deal with getting rid of inflamation in the body will be helpful. It is amazing how many diseases and ailments can be healed by changing what we eat... choose well for a healing fountain of youth!

Interesting read, somewhat outdated. 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I follow a relatively strict, vegan eating regime, so his method is not even as strict as mine. If you are trying to make a change from the average american, carnivore way of eating, this is not the book for you. Read it only if you are very serious and dedicated about your diet and nutritional habits.

Mucusless Diet Healing System 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book gives a detailed diet for healing through fasting and dietary modification. Far ahead of his time in developing low fat/low carb diets.

The dynamic tension exercises are easy and very helpful, like a quick 'adjustment', but with you in control.

Dr. Ehret's 'new' physiology, with the lungs as the PUMP and the heart as a valve, give new understanding to our physical problems and how the body really works.

His untimely death was a great loss to our world, since his message is capable of redirecting our habits and culture to a much better world of health and longevity.

This book was easy to read and very informative about weight loss. It has helped me to lose over 30 pounds and keep it off. I would encourage everyone to read it.

Practical Tips 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book had a lot of good practical tips in it. It ties back to the glycemic index and how food in the past just didn't impact our blood sugar the way that food today does. (Before food was natural, and now, everything is highly processed.) It made me really think about things, and after a month following it (and not having time for exercise), I lost about five pounds. I could tell it was fat because most of my cellulite went away (interesting, huh?) I have about 25 more pounds to lose, but I plan to keep using the ideas in this book.

Editorial Review:

Obesity carries with it grave risks and consequences. Dr. Colbert has garnered weight-loss tips from top medical researchers and discusses breakthroughs and weight-loss programs that actually work.
