Summary: Very IN DEPTH view of lifestyle living for better health
Review: Although I found some areas of the book to be almost hard to comprehend (at lot of learning at one time), by going back and reading the areas again...they made logical sense-even though I'm not used to 'nitrate and nitrite' reading. The items that are presented about current popular food items are reason enough to buy the book. Even if you aren't looking to feel better. I haven't tried the Ms. Henners system yet, but plan on it soon. Her ideas of you-can-eat-what-you-want (no junk foods) and still be healthy make sense.

Summary: Outstanding book!--Run (don't walk) and buy it NOW!!
Review: Marilu is right on target. Her book is everything she said and more. I've been on her program for two months and have lost 20 pounds and firmed up significantly. I don't need to lose anymore weight but will continue this program for the rest of my life because I feel so damn GREAT! My skin is absolutely gorgeous and everyone asks me about my new lifestyle. Thank you Marilu...you're the greatest!!

Summary: This book is very well written
Review: I read lots of health and nutrition books and this one is excellent, and it's not written by an "expert". Marilu has condensed a lot of health information in one book. She has answers to my questions that I have piece-mealed from other sources. I have eliminated dairy, my first step, and I believe it has showed in my skin tone. I'm planning on following some of the other steps as well. I am very critical and objective when I read any health information, and I do take issue with some of Marilu's points, however I can research them further on my own by "experts". All in all, this book was excellent, motivating and easy to read.

Summary: Outstanding long term health/weight management book
Review: This is the first book that actually really got me going on my way to being healthier. I started with eliminating all dairy from my diet. I thought it would be really hard, because I love cheese. But ... I love the fact that I've lost 7 lbs. in 2 weeks! All I had to read was that " ... by eliminating dairy I lost my double chin." That was it for me.I say you can't miss this book!

Summary: Inspirational guide to changing your life!
Review: I was quite inspired by Marilu's book. Although her way of eating is not for everyone, the results are undeniably GREAT - just look at her! She is beautiful, thin, has tons of energy and is positive, upbeat and successful. She gives vital imformation regarding diet and lifestyle that many people will probably find too extreme. But then again, I'll bet they don't feel as great or look as good as she does! So take a chance and read the book. Maybe something will sink in about your unhealthy diet and maybe you will change for the better. I did. Since reading her book I have given up most dairy, am trying to food-combine and have cut way back on caffiene. The funny thing is that people are telling me that I look really good. More importantly, I feel really good and have more energy. Try it!

Summary: I KNEW IF I WAITED LONG ENOUGH, SOMEONE'D HELP!
Review: Marilou! I think you wrote this book with me in mind. I LOVE it. If I have a twin soul in this world, it must be you. You have saved my life. I want to keep you updated on my success. So far, so good. I have so much energy and feel so good...just like you said! I knew if I waited long enough, someone would figure out how to lose weight and not feel dizzy, deprived, tired or hungry all the time. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am proof that it paid off. Just seeing your cover made me interested, but after seeing you on David Letterman, I got really excited and ran to the bookstore the next morning. Keep up the great work...I know I will!!!

Summary: Is this woman qualified to redefine our nutrition
Review: First let me say that I generally like Marilu Henner. TAXI was just a bit ahead of my time. But I did enjoy her short-lived talk show and I sat in the third row of the Schubert Theater on Broadway while I watched Chicago and thought: "I can't believe they are singing and dancing through the whole show and she is never out of breath." I read Ms. Henner's book with interest and much of what she says does sound plausible. However, it is not clear where Ms. Henner acquired all of this information. It doesn't take much for any Hollywood star to write a diet book. In fact, diet books always sell well even when they are not written by a famous person. I am just wondering what qualifications Ms. Henner and her ghostwriter have. What knowledge of nutrition do they have that is not based on new age California rumor and superstition? It seems to me that to make it in Hollywood at the young age she did, one would have to skip out on education at some point. And not to be mean about this (because she seems to be a nice person) but why are we so apt to listen to a woman who happens to be talented, beautiful and rich as opposed to listening to doctors and nutritionists who are more qualified? My grandparents all grew up drinking whole milk and have lived to a healthy old age (and still going!). But now I put a dash of skim milk in my coffee (GASP...not coffee) and I'm ravaging my immune system? You might buy this book because it is interesting and well done. But let me warn you......rice milk and soy milk are not as yummy as Ms. Henner would like you to think. I would rather practice a diet of moderation and exercise than strip away all of the culinary pleasure in life.

Summary: A radical yet inspirational approach to overall health.
Review: I bought this book after seeing Marilu Henner talking about her program on a few talk shows. I never expected it to be as densely filled with information as it is. Although implementing her entire program entails some radical steps, she talks about ways to incorporate bite-size steps to begin moving toward a healthier way of life. She emphasizes balanced foods (ying and yang), no dairy, chemicals, or sugar, and food combining. It all sounds a little "out there" but I decided to try it anyway, and I feel great. I've lost a little weight, and I haven't had my usual stomach aches after eating. I highly recommend this book. Even if you don't follow all the steps, it's full of valuable info that you don't find everywhere. Not only is the book informational, it's inspiring, motivational, and funny. Marilu Henner has really educated herself, and she'll educate you, too.

Summary: Make a Life-time change!
Review: LIFESTYLE CHANGE
Apparently after years of fluctuating weight, diets, doctors, therapists, nutritionists, etc., etc., Marilu Henner of "Taxi" fame has compiled a book with an approach to bring health and vitality to a new level and to add years to your life. She intends to get you to rid your old lifestyle habits. CONVERSATIONAL TONE, HUMOROUS - This book is written in a very casual conversational tone. Included are pictures of herself during various stages of her life. It is like she is addressing you personally because the books lacks the hard core technical mumble jumble that most health books contain. Healthy recipes offering colorful pictures fill many pages. FOOD COMBINING - GREAT THAT'S ALL WE NEED, ANOTHER CHALLENGE
You can follow much of the requirements such as reexamining your relationship with food, your lifestyle and your health. However, when I read about "food combining" I was taken aback! It isn't easy making drastic changes, but when she tells you too watch what foods you combine, I find this just another difficult step that seems quite a challenge. Food combining is when protein and starches are eaten together, it takes too much energy to digest that meal. This is explained thoroughly. Probably one of the most challenging conquests to better living. THE COMPLETE SCOOP ON OUR POOP! Henner discusses the digestive process and its disorders, everything you ever wanted to know about poop - but were too embarrassed to ask! Everything is here, from consistency, color, how often, how much, etc.
TEN STEP PROGRAM - The book is laid out to cover Ten Steps to a complete makeover - One Step at A Time starting at a beginner level (easing gradually into changes) to makeover maniac.
1. Chemicals - all about reading ingredients.
2. Caffeine Cutting down on caffeine
3. Sugar - actually working toward eliminating everything sweet
4. Meat - that dreaded meat again!
5. Dairy - Giving up dairy products
6. Food Combining - Oh boy, this isn't going to be easy!
7. Fat - Can't ever leave fat discussions out of healthy lifestyle change
8. Exercise and Stress - Walk, jog, strengthen!
9. Sleep - Notice your sleep pattern
10. Gusto - Just plain gusto! If you can follow this plan, faithfully, you may just live to be 120 years old. ........MzRizz.
