Summary: Sensible approach to diet!
Review: The doctors Eades debunk much popular diet myth, while presenting logical arguments based in objective research, encouraging us to readopt the diet that has healthfully sustained mankind for literally millions of years.
The doctors Eades really struck a chord with me and these days that's not too difficult. It's been my third week off coffee and I've feeling fantastic. The headaches are gone and no more acid stomach thanks to a coffee replacement I found called s o y f e e. Made from soya and I bought it online at www.s oycoffee.com. Simply marvelous, just like this book.

Summary: Chose to be healthy! Kay
Review: I have tried a few to many ways of improving my health and reducing my weight and the Protein Power Diet by Dr's. Michael R., and Mary Dan Eades has proven itself to me and my family and friends. Anyone that knows me, knows I research everything that has to do with one's health, and this Protein Power Diet Book educates a person on just how the body functions with the right and wrong foods as fuel to make the body run like a well oiled machine or a rusty one. My husband and I tried it for 40 days. I lose 14 lbs. and he lost 11 lbs. His cholestrol was at 480. At the next lab test 45 days later it was at 295. My cholestrol was at a good level but needed to increase HDL. In 45 days it went from 43 to 65. My husband's HDL was 28, now 49. If you can stick with this diet for 2 week's your sweet tooth will decrease. The foods do satisfy you and is plentiful. And the ability to get out of bed and look forward to a day of work or fun does not feel like a horrible chore anymore. Nerves seem to be so calm now and attitudes are so much more managable. The body functions like that well oiled machine again. Anyone who struggles with dieting and health problems needs the help of this LifePlan, to make you realize you do have a life that can be lived and enjoyed. Yes, I did go off the diet for 6 months and my weight went up and my health went down. We returned to the diet, and we are starting to enjoy returning health again, especially after my husband's heart attack. Now his health has improve so much and we wish we never left the plan because his doctor's seen the down turn and now the great improvement over-all in his health. We learned our lesson. We are choosing to be healthy, we are sticking to the Protein Power LifePlan, for our very lives. And I hope others can benefit as much as we have. Here is to good health and happy lives.

Summary: Heresy
Review: I read this book in two days- l just could not put it down.
It all just seemed to make so much sense. But the proof is in the pudding-l am interested to see if a low carbohydrate diet really can lower my triglyceride and raise my HDL level.
I did have a couple of problems with it though. For one, they claim Vitamin E has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of heart attacks. Recent studies suggest this is not true. Another is using the paleolithic diet as a the model for ours. Im not sure that is really going back in time far enough. Great apes are probably quite similar to our more ancient ancestors and they are primarily vegetarians.
And lastly they stated the largely vegetarian Chinese have heart attacks at a rate nearly the same as ours but they neglected to mention that the Chinese smoke cigarettes at a higher rate than we.
But all in all it was one of the most interesting books lve read recently.

Summary: The Eades do it again!
Review: This is without a doubt the best diet I have ever tried...and the most medically/scientifically sound. I do wish they would stop dumbing down the process for determining protein intake, etc. For that reason I prefer the first book for accuracy's sake, but this one is LOADED with updated information that makes it a good companion to the first.I had tried Ornish's plan in the past and my LDL levels were off the map as a result. I switched to PP and the return to health has been nothing short of miraculous in the eyes of my numerous doctors (one of whom is currently on this plan himself after watching my improvements!) I have PCOS and hypothyroidism. Ornish made the PCOS problems worse and did not help me in any way at keeping blood lipids in a reasonable range. The Eades's diet is amazing--it has totally made it possible for me to lose weight and conceive a child. I don't have enough stars to rate this book.
