Summary: Follow this roadmap to a healthy heart now
Review: As a physician involved in advanced risk assessment and coronary disease prevention programs in several cities, I congratulate Dr. Gabe Mirkin's achievement in educating the public on his popular radio show, in newsletters and with his newest guidebook to lifelong health. Designed for the intelligent and proactive layperson, Dr. Mirkin's Healthy Heart Miracle empowers the reader to join him on a lifelong journey to improve cardiovascular health. In compelling and persuasive style, the book explains how to recognize and manage key risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and stroke. The DASH program with its easy to incorporate diet and exercise regimens provide a sensible plan to address our current epidemic of heart disease, insulin resistance and obesity. The Healthy Heart Miracle allows the reader to understand practical aspects of exercise physiology, nutritional science and cholesterol metabolism even if you never took a science class in school. If one needs the motivation to alter the almost inevitable course towards illness, read this book today and get on Dr. Mirkin's roadmap to lifelong wellness and health.
Following this docs' advice could easily spare you a future visit to the coronary care unit--making this clearly written guide to preventive medicine invaluable and potentially lifesaving. Our HeartCheck centers are looking forward to alert everyone to the value of the Healthy Heart Miracle.

Summary: Atkins was half right.
Review: Carbs aren't the problem, refined carbs are. Dr. Mirkin's book explains exactly how to diet and exercise correctly - including tasty recipes and cooking instructions. Dr. Mirkin takes the proven "DASH" diet, developed by the NIH, and takes it one step further to the "DASH PLUS" diet. What will "DASH PLUS" do for you? Besides lower your blood pressure (the DASH component) the "PLUS" component will lower your risk of heart disease an cancer, and probably cause you to lose weight. Why believe Dr. Mirkin? He and his wife Diana have proven this with 100's of patients. Also, Dr. Mirkin relies on the lastest published research - to learn more about him see his website www.drmirkin.com. I'm a huge fan of the Mirkins - in my book he is the "Mc Coy" - the one you should trust. Dr. Mirkin's most popular book, "The Sportsmedicine Book," published in 1978, has stood the test of time - very impressive. The Mirkins not only talk the talk, they walk the walk. Buy their book - it may just save your life.

Summary: I lost 21 pounds in 6 weeks!
Review: I wasn't even obese, however, on the plan I lost 21 pounds without very little effort and no pain. I didn't follow the Doctors advice religioulsy and I did'nt use my free days, didn't feel I needed to pig out. After one month I started to loose my taste for fatty foods. Now I look at old favorites, like pizza, and cringe. My Triglycerides went from 174 to 143(LDL is 74, HDL is 56), bp from 120/76 to 112/62. My skin and memory improved almost immediately. My attitude at work is far better and I'm generaly much happier. I am still loosing at 1/2 lbs a week. I don't find it difficult to limit fat. Make sure you suppliment your diet with calcium, multi-vitamines, vitamine-E and Omega-3. Exersize is important. You need to tone and cut the fat. When you plateu, and you will sometimes as your body adjusts to the new diet, focus on building muscle. I think the reason people don't suceed on the diet is that they either don't pay attention to calorie limits or don't change there hunting and gathering skills. You can't eat a sweet potato every night. First thing to do is replace all butters, oils and sugars. Butter: fat free Promise, Oil: squeezable fruit purie in the baking section, Sugar: Splenda. My secret weapons: oatmeal, sweet potatos, greatfruit, dried pitted dates. My husband has lost 25 lbs and he is just along for the ride (I do the cooking).
This diet has truly returned my quality of life. I thought I was just starting to age.

Summary: Building bridges towards a healthier life....
Review: It's TRUE!!! My husband and I are proof that this works!!!
Not only has the diet & exercise program prescribed by the Mirkin's allowed me to lose the unhealthy, excess weight (27 pounds !) I'd been carrying since the birth of our child, it has motivated me to become healthier, more active & consequently more fit. The lifestyle I've developed in pursuit of these activities has boosted my self-esteem and mental well being. I'm 53 and now have the energy to match my Fit 35 years old friends!! My 57 year old husband's (3 yr.) high cholesterol readings are back down within a normal range after having adhered to this diet plan for the past 6 months
The food groups we now eat are easy on the budget, fresh and attractive to prepare..and delicious to enjoy.
Thank -You Dr. Gabe & Diane for the positive impact you have had on this family!

Summary: Needed to take control
Review: My cravings and bingeing of sweet carbs was so bad that I needed to take control. My husband who has been a follower of Dr.Mirkin for years decided it would make a great holiday present. Because of all the diet advice out there, often contradictory, I decided to read the book backwards. I was impressed with the resources and references. Most impressive is the way the book is laid out and how clear each section is to follow.I especially like the fact that medical jargon is made simple. Because I was just diagnosed with insulin resistance I think Dr. Mirkin has given me the key to taking back my life. I am anxiously waiting for him to schedule book signings so I may meet him in person after all these years of listening to him on the radio and reading his marvelous website.
