Summary: Follow-up on success
Review: As a follow-up, I lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks following the Phase I diet and daily activity, along with strength training twice per week.I look and feel the healthiest I have been since high school. My skin has cleared up and is now mostly blemish-free for the first time in my post-pubescent life. My gums had always been inflamed despite brushing and flossing, but now look healthy since I've changed my diet. The information in this book really works! I haven't re-tested my cholesterol yet. I intend to lose another 15 pounds first.

Summary: Best Non-Technical Medical Information I've ever read...
Review: Dr. Fleming's book is full of easy-to-read and simple-to-understand explanations of what goes on within your body. When you eat refined sugar vs. natural complex carbohydrates, when you eat meat vs. vegetables, the list goes on and on. By far, the BEST text I've ever read on the subject of Cholesterol and Heart Problems, since he also explains so many other related things that are involved in the process of digestion and absorbtion of vitamins/minerals. I can only give this book the HIGHEST recommendation for anyone out there interested in their own health. He gives you the information and steps necessary to save your own life by heeding the early warning signs of a probably heart attack in your upcoming years. BY ALL MEANS, IF YOU'VE EVER HAD EVEN A SINGLE CHEST PAIN: READ THIS BOOK! And better yet, with the C-RP Blood Test (that costs $10) you can learn of health problems years-in-advance of actual chest pains. (...)

Summary: Excellent important information for the informed consumer
Review: I agree completely with the previous reviewer's comments. Even if you do not plan to follow this doctors plan 100%, following some of his recommendations will help. Buy the book and live longer.

Summary: This Book Convinced Me
Review: I look at it this way: If your doctor told you, that the foods you are eating is causing all your health problems, would'nt you at least attempt a non-meat, non-dairy and non-sugar diet?
Well I tried it beginning Feb. 2005 and I feel great. Much more energy for the trips to the fitness club, sleep better and more alert during the day. Plus my blood pressure is normal at 124/78 and the weight dropped 8 lbs. All in less than four weeks.
The first 21 pages should convince you. Great book. Buy the paperback: ISBN: 1583332006
Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally
by Neal D. Barnard is also a good book.

Summary: Know thy enemy!
Review: This book is some of the best money I have ever spent! Six of my close family members have or had heart disease, of which three had diabetes, and two had cancer. The information provided by Dr. Fleming provides a primary line of defense against these scourges of humankind, as well as several others, while providing guidelines that help improve health in general. Even if you decide not to stick to his diet plan (I do), the general information is still extremely useful. The title just doesn't do justice to the quality, depth, and breadth of information contained within. Most of the book deals with actual case studies and detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of disease as well as how you can influence them, presented in a straightforward fashion that makes for good reading. I've skimmed through other mainstream books on heart disease, and most of them seem like self-help fluff compared to this book. Only a few pages are given directly to the diet plan, as well as some recipies - concise and to the point. As for the diet itself - take it or leave it, but at least you will have the information you need to know to make informed decisions for yourself. Personally, I find the dishes surprisingly satisfying and filling, and add some extra spices of my own. If you care about your health, read this book.

Summary: High Quality Book but consider Fasting first
Review: Throughout the years I've read about six books on nutrition and dieting. This book definitely stands out. I haven't tried his methods myself but I have faith in the program - and I tend to be skeptical. I gave it four stars only because the program really requires a lot of discipline.
Another good book along these lines that would probably be easier to follow then this program is called "Fasting and Eating For Health" by Fuhrman. Again I haven't tried the fasting program either, but I believe that one would probably get amazing results across a wide range of diseases with fasting as well, only it would be easier then this program. I'm trying the fasting first for my health problems, then I'll try this book. (B.T.W. I'm not affiliated with either authors).
