Review: I HAVE BEEN ON THIS PROGRAM FOR OVER A YEAR AND I AM THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS. I HAVE ELIMINATED DAIRY AND RED MEAT AND LOVE ALL THE RECIPES, AND OF COURSE HAVE ADDED ALOT OF MY OWN. YOU REALLY CAN EAT LOTS AND STILL MAINTAIN, ALONG WITH THE EXERCISE, ETC. I LOVE IT!

Summary: Negative reviews stem from denial & lack of trying
Review: I purchased this book approx. 3 1/2 weeks ago and gradually started applying the changes in my eating habits along with the overall knowledge that Marilu provides here. I've found the transition to be simple and truly beneficial in how I look & feel. I've lost 11 1/2 lbs in 2 weeks and I don't feel deprived. Someone had commented on the extreme cost - Granted rice and soy milk may be more expensive. However, I no longer purchase all the junk foods and garbage I used to eat which has resulted in a drop in my grocery expenses. If you truly READ this and FOLLOW THROUGH, you will see & feel the results. Buy it and USE IT. "USE IT" being the operative word. I don't think Marilu could have spelled it out any clearer - Yet she does with her book "The 30 day Total Health Makeover" which get's 6 stars!

Summary: Can't put it down!
Review: Okay I bought this for my mom as a mother's day present. I wanted to just read the chapter on the 10 steps and well, I'm still reading. I will still be giving this to my mom but may have to get her another copy. I gave up dairy(mostly) a little over a yr ago. Sinus problems- GONE. Stomach problems- much improved. I agree 100% with Marilu's system. It has inspired me to try giving up sugar. I am a chocolate addict so wish me the best. This book will be my new gift that keeps on giving for me and others. Thanks Marilu! I have to share that I wanted to read this becuase every time I have seen Marilu on tv or in movies, I love her vitality and the way she looks. Especially a show she did on childbirth. She looked great the night she went into labor. Her husband and her seem to have a great love for each other and their family. God bless her!

Summary: I
Review: I was interested in the first half of the book, but lost interest after that. I also got the impression that Marilu is on an ego trip. If combining foods is so important why was there not a more detailed chapter on this technique? I also felt that some of her statements were not backed by scientific proof. This diet doesn't seem realistic to me.

Summary: YOU CAN HURDLE OVER STALLS WITH TOTAL HEALTH!
Review: The TOTAL HEALTH MAKEOVER is a wonderful book for anyone who is a beginner at wanting to look and feel better. It covers the reasons why certain foods are really bad for health and digestion very well. It is also very good at suggesting what combinations of foods go well together. What Ms. Henner does best, however is to ask the reader a lot of questions that raise issues about the eating, exercising and enjoyment components of life, what we are doing and what we are not doing that act as a benchmark for where we should start and how far we have to go. The ten steps, beginning on page 4, are reminders of what is included in the TOTAL HEALTH MAKEOVER that you should read daily. Best of all, Ms. Henner's suggestions make common sense. To get even more benefit, I also suggest you read EAT RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE, which refines Ms. Henner's food tips further for what blood and body type you have. Finally, before you start either book, read THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION, by Carol Coles, Donald Mitchell and Robert Metz, to understand where and why you have been "stalled" in changing your diet and lifestyle and how to overcome those "stalls". These books helped me get so motivated to accomplish more, faster, that I am doing more now than I have done in the last twenty years, I'm working on the right things, and I feel great.

Summary: Got the tape but the book gives you more detail.
Review: I loved hearing Marilu explaining the different steps of her program, especially the dairy portion. I gave up milk after I heard her describe what it does to you and what's in it! For those not familiar with the program, while the tape has lots of information, I feel her books really give you the extra details you need to follow the program.

Summary: I've been my B.E.S.T. now for 4 yr! Thanks Marilu!!
Review: I was one of the lucky ones who meet Marilu and she told me all about her program. I have been living this program for 4 years now. I was so excited that she finally wrote this book so she can share her program with everyone who has the desire to make that change to be healthy and as an added bounus for me, I will have this book at my finger tips for inspiration. I have lost 52lbs and have kept it off for 4 yrs. I feel and look healthier at age 43 then I did at 23. You will too. Just give it a try. THANKS!THANKS! Maggie

Summary: Great advice but a little hard to follow through
Review: I bought the tape(total health makeover) and what she said made a lot of sence and I believe what she said was right...the problem is, she tells us what to do then does not follow through to show up how to do it..like food combining..it isnt very easy..mos tof us dont have the money, time, ability to do this..and it isnt very practical to not eat bread untill dinner and even then you cant have protein....that isnt very practical and I dont have the money or ability to correctly follow through this...I still follow what I can and I do feel better ( i have given up red meat, I cut down on dairy ( another impractical suggestion was never eating dairy....do you know how much dairy is in everything??) and I cut way down on caffiene...I up my excersize, etc). The point is...do what you can like marilu said and you will feel at least a little better...I feel lots better
