Summary: It's about time
Review: John Gray's The Mars & Venus Diet & Exercise Solution is a breath of fresh air. As a practicing chiropractic physician for over thirty years I have stressed the importance of brain to tissue communication. John's physiological approach to brain chemistry is exciting. His diet and exercise solution is unique and it's about time someone separtated the genders for these programs.

Summary: Not the best in the series
Review: My husband and I have read all of Dr. Grays books. His principles are really easy for us to follow because he is all Man and I am all Woman. But we had trouble with this one. That is because, even though the foods that are good for Mars, and the foods that are good for Venus, are different, we just have one refrigirater, so we got them mixed up. So we are still fat.

Summary: A better slant on dieting
Review: Not really desiring to lose weight, I was interested in John Gray's book The Mars and Venus Diet and Exercise Solution for its cleansing properties and was not disappointed. I tried John's method in the book for 9 days. Nothing much seemed to happen until just about two weeks after I began the course of treatment. I have always had a sweet tooth, but as I get older realize it is a sugar addiction. I found that I wasn't craving sweets (a common occurrence for 40 years after every meal and often between them) and I wasn't really trying. I wanted things like celery and peanut butter or carrots for a snack instead of cookies. And coming from the world's greatest candy fan, this is saying a lot!! I also found myself naturally drinking more water and feeling lighter and fresher. My skin has a great tone and after several weeks, as I look for signs of diminishing effects, I am pleased that I am still resting in a place of healthful balance. I also have lost several pounds even without trying. I will refresh my liver and remind myself of my wholeness every so often with his recommended treatment as I feel a calling to do so, but for now I feel great.The other thing I really related to in this book was his presentation of the different chemistries of men and women and what, how and when they are activated. It was a missing piece in understanding my very male husband. Very insightful and clearly intended for more than just a fix-it diet, this book The Mars and Venus Diet & Exercise Solution offers ways to achieve and maintain balance and health within the self and also within a relationship.

Summary: What Planet is this diet from?
Review: OHMIGOSH! I can't believe this book got published. More than that, I can't believe I bought it!
I love Dr. Gray's relationship outlook and advice and thought that naturally, his diet advice would be equally as great.
What was I thinking? and moreover, what was he thinking?
The important lesson to learn from this is that you don't go see your therapist for personal training and you shouldn't think that you can or should, therefore, you don't go to your relationship therapist for diet advice, unless of course he actually was obese and lost weight! or took a nutrition class.
The crowning blow of this book is the chapter "Endorhpines are from Heaven" no, Dr. Gray, endorhpines are from hard work and exercise. You may feel like you are in heaven when you get the feelings they give you but you must earn them.
This is without out a doubt the biggest waste of time and worthless book for anyone seeking motivation, weight loss tips or real advice. This is someone trying to capitalize on their already successful "Mar/Venus" brand, knowing suckers like me would stand in line to buy it...don't!!!!!

Summary: Your Solution to Dazzling Health and Enduring Relationships
Review: Ten years after he revolutionized the way we think about how men and women communicate in romantic relationships, in Mars and Venus Diet and Exercise Solution, John Gray tells us how the sexes differ when it comes to diet, exercise, sex, depression, and particularly brain chemistry. Why is it that so many of us rely on pills, alcohol, and food to be happy? Why are so many Americans overweight? Why are ADD and divorce so prevalent? In this comprehensive, readable, and fascinating study, Gray not only supplies intriguing answers but recipes, exercise plans, suggestions for energy-boosting, chemistry-altering foods that will become your lifeline to satisfying, passionate, and enduring relationships.

Summary: A Monumental Achievement!
Review: The Mars & Venus Diet & Exercise Solution is a book that has blown me away! What I expected was another book putting another spin on how to lose weight. I was wrong-dead wrong! This book isn't just about diet and weight loss, it's a book about liberating yourself from psychological and physical struggle. I've been a psychologist for over twenty-five years and Dr. Gray's book has opened my eyes to the nutritional-biological underpinnings of psychological problems-it's all about brain chemistry. I will recommend this book to any of my patients who want to know why they feel depressed, anxious, unmotivated, or why their relationship falters.
By giving up my coffee habit I realized having that wired up feeling all day clouded my concentration. Did you know one cup of joe raises your blood pressure by 14%! Fortunately for me I was able to find a wonderful tasting replacement made from soyabeans. You brew like coffee and it even helps lower my cholesterol. I found it online at www.S o y c o f f e e.c o m. Gaining this understanding will effect every move you make from this point on and will bring with it the necessity to share it.
Simply put, this is a book that can save your life.

Summary: Medical Professionals Give A Thumbs UP!
Review: THE MARS & VENUS EXERCISE SOLUTION BOOK REVIEW: John Gray's remarkable new volume is a welcome and ground-shaking addition to the current weight loss literature. This is one of the most holistic weight reduction programs we have seen, and we know it will help many people who have not been finding the help they need through traditional medical routes. As a doctor-nurse team, we have practiced holistic care for over 25 years, having started one of the first holistic centers in the country in the mid -1970's in northern California. Based on our experience, we are pleased that this book addresses issues that have been missing from the diet debates. He points out that men and women react differently to food and exercise, requiring different percentages of protein and fat, rather than the currently popular protocols of high protein, high fat. This subtle yet valuable distinction has been given far too little attention in other books! He describes a "magic key" to the whole topic, namely that food choices, and food quality, are crucial to long-lasting success. As holistic medical practitioners, we have had success with many weight-challenged people who were not finding success with standard medical treatment, making suggestions similar to what this book carefully explains. It is, in fact, very close to what we have been trying to tell people for years, and he has done it eloquently. In addition to food, his program for cleansing, supplementation, and enjoyable exercise are excellent contributions to help people stimulate hormones in body and brain. It has long been our contention that it is the hormones that make us who we are, and John Gray tells why. Richard L. Shames MD
