Contradictory, but some good info 3 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book starts off in a no-nonsense manner, with some good nutritional info, and the author really emphasizes the importance of exercise. Some very good recipes, too. But then:

After telling you caffeine interferes with calcium absorption, allows you to have coffee or tea with breakfast (which includes calcium) instead of telling you to drink it some other time, or go for decaf, or not drink it at all, which would be much better.

Lists the USDA and Institute of Medicine guidelines for sodium (2300 and 1500 mg per day, respectively), and then includes a recipe for miso soup that PER SERVING contains 1166 mg of sodium. What!

Pushes calcium supplements, when, just by drinking nonfat milk (or adding nonfat dry milk to some recipes), and eating more calcium-rich vegetables you could easily make your daily requirement, perhaps taking a multi-vitamin to cover all the bases.

The Jump-Start diet, while thankfully not one of the many juice fasts, is odd in that it has the majority of the calories eaten at dinner. However, it does consist of real food.

The author's recipes have you adding salt to the cooking water for beans. Not only does this extend the cooking time, but you are adding salt without tasting them first. Doesn't make sense.

Has few options for those who are vegan wishing to follow this diet. Mentions flaxseed only in connection with Omega-3 rich eggs (as it being in the feed). What about grinding it up and adding it to your diet? Yes, fiber interferes with calcium absorption too, but it's a lot better for you than caffeine.

Tells you to substitute mineral water (especially fizzy) for alcohol or sodas. Try plain water. Any dentist will tell you that carbonated water, over time, can damage your teeth. If you're so insecure that you worry about what the people around you will think of what you're drinking, you have other issues.

Promotes using Splenda in recipes (which just promotes the sugar-taste connection), instead of just using less (or no) sugar and/or substituting small amounts of reconstituted dried fruits, which while having some calories, also provide other nutrients.

Bottom line: this is a decent book, but you do have to resolve the contradictions and tweak the diet to match your budget.

Much of the useful information is buried in paragraphs when it should be separately highlighted. The constant references to NYC are annoying (the "Park Avenue Mindset" could have just been referred to as "Type A" personality, for one thing), and for the most part are useless to those who live elsewhere and/or don't have the money to pay for the Fage brand yogurt, and other expensive products she recommends. All in all, about a third of the book is NYC-centric, with its references to restaurants, stores/delis, and where to walk in Central Park (useful if you're visiting, though).

Buy used.

Editorial Review:

NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD is the first book to provide something better than a cure for the common cold - prevention. The author researched people who never get sick and discovered they were all eating a similar diet. He called it the NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD Diet because people who start following the diet stop getting sick immediately.
Dr. Lawrence W. Cooke, President of the Laguna Senior Medical Group states, "The world has needed a remedy for the common cold for a very long time. Thank God that Thomas Appell has come up with a viable solution."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of the State of California says, "I truly admire the time and talent you have devoted toward writing a book that provides motivation for others to live a healthy life. I have no doubts as to the success of your proposal..." (Thomas Appell proposed to use the NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD book and DVD to wipe out or significantly diminish the cold/flu season in California and also to significantly diminish new cases of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cancer.)
In the first NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD Diet case study, former chronically sick participants experienced a 97% reduction in cold/flu episodes over a 24 month period. What this means is that if you and four of your friends usually get sick three times per year with a bad cold or case of the flu, you would experience 15 cold/flu episodes in 12 months, and 30 cold/flu episodes in 24 months. After following the dietary recommendations in NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD, in the next two years there would only be one cold/flu episode between all of you and four of you would not get sick at all.
Another reason why NEVER GET ANOTHER COLD is becoming so popular is because it's easy to read with full color illustrations on almost every page. The illustrations make the book spring to life and make reading it addictive. But the most important reason to buy this book is because it works. If you want to keep from getting colds and the flu, maintain a lean fit body for a very long time and add decades of quality years to your life, this book is for you!

In The High-Calcium Low-Calorie Cookbook, Betty Marks showcases 250 recipes, each of which is especially relevant for women having to deal with the calcium deficit condition of osteoporosis (bone density loss). A diet of calcium-rich foods combined with a regular exercise program can not only slow bone loss, it can help female posture and skeletal integrity to remain straight and strong. These easy, natural, calcium rich recipes range from Tricolor Yogurt Loaf; Oriental Snow Pea Soup; Scallop and Oyster Salad; Lady Rainbow Okra; and Swiss Potato Torte; to Blue Cheese Dressing; Ricotta Peanut Butter; Cheddar Bread; Banana Berry Rice Pudding; Almond Carob Milk Shake. Acknowledging that children need good calcium dishes for a well balanced diet for young growing bodies, The High-Calcium Low-Calorie Cookbook is a welcome and recommended addition to any and all family kitchen cookbook collections as well!

Editorial Review:

Osteoporosis may be prevented by increasing calcium intake early in life. In fact, for those already diagnosed, the symptoms of the condition can be eased with the addition of more calcium to the diet. A delicious way to begin the process is by using this cookbook which presents 250 kitchen-tested recipes high in calcium, low in cholesterol, fat, sodium, and calories, and made without sugar. Each recipe has been analyzed and approved by a registered dietician. Nutritious foods such as tofu, salmon, sardines, kale, figs, dandelion greens, sesame seeds, and black beans are found here in delectable dishes from soup to dessert and beverages. Recipes include: Cream of Mushroom Soup, Lamb Kebobs in Spinach Sauce, Hungarian Kohlrabi, and Buttermilk Blueberry Bake. Tips are given on cooking techniques and balanced meal planning.
