Summary: Another book telling the truth from Harvey
Review: Following the Fit for Life series of books in the 80's and 90's we can now see a mellower, more philosophical and spiritual Harvey Diamond in 2003, quoting from Tolstoy and Voltaire.The message in the book is basically the same as his previous books but the style is more relaxed and contemplative. He has come to the conclusion that even though he may know the cure for virtually all illness, not everyone wants to listen because the cure is too easy and not complicated enough. If you have not read the Fit for Life books (Fit for Life, Fit for Life II and Fit for Life: A New Beginning), I would recommend reading these first. They are the originals and still the best at describing the principles you need to follow. However, this is still a good book for those who want further reading.

Summary: Finally some FRESH material from Harvey!
Review: The "Fit for life" books have changed many people's lives for the better, including mine. The advice the author gives really makes alot of sense and awakens you to the importance of what you are feeding yourself. We were not born to eat what ever our parents were tricked into feeding us, and we damn sure were not created to eat processed foods.
I recommend this book for everyone, whether you read his other books or not. Reason being, this is a great recap and summary of all his other earlier books. Harvey Diamond gives his best advice and tells of lessons learned since writing his first book, and gives his wonderfully simple HEALTHLY GUIDELINES to eat by.
He stands by the vegetarian lifestyle but admits that some meat is good for the body. He was a veggie-head for 25 years but confesses to finally giving in to a medium-rare t-bone steak one day with the intention of vomiting it out afterwards... But he liked it! So now he includes meat in his diet once or twice a week. You see? A diet should not can not be written in stone. Again, the best advice seems to be to just avoid processed "foods".
In addition, this book is much more comfortable to hold than the previous ones which looked and carried like bricks.

Summary: Good Advice
Review: This is a good summary of ideas for people who want to lose weight in a common sense manner. Diamond does not fall for the lose weight quick fads and schemes. Hooray! He gives very logical criticism of the Atkins way and other short cuts that don't work in the long run.
