Summary: Most honest diet book i have ever read
Review: This book is an honest, easy-to-follow, no-nonsense guide to losing weight without feeling deprived and stressed. I lost 20 pounds a year ago and the weight has stayed off ever since then! My life and my outlook are so changed that I'll never eat the way I did before. Anyone who is not helped by this book has just not read it carefully or with an inquiring mind...sometimes the light of the unvarnished and honest truth can dim a person's perception to the possibility of change. Nevertheless, it's all in this book for anyone who is truly willing to change for the better instead of just talking about it.

Summary: Most BORING book I've ever read
Review: This has got to be the most boring book I've ever read. Dr.Taub repeats himself over and over, does not explain things very well, and this book did not provide any inspiration to even want to follow it. The only good thing I can say about it is that some of the recipes look good. Other than that it was a BIG waste of time.

Summary: Less than meets the eye.
Review: This was an impulse purchase. The slimly-stocked bookstore I occasionally patronize (when I'm not online) had it prominently displayed on the counter. After reading the blurb on the back cover--"most honest, well-researched, informative book about total health"--I felt as though I must be the only consumer on the planet not benefiting from its wisdom.Now that I've read the book's 400+ pages (many of them taken up with recipes), I'm having difficulty recalling a single fresh insight, useful bit of information, or well-turned phrase about overly familiar, commensensical lore. Nor is there enough information to justify the book's taking up space on my shelf as a reference book. Dr. Taub's mantra is "Everything in moderation, including moderation." The phrase certainly fits the easy-reading approach of the book, which touts the usual virtues in general, conversational, flaccid prose--eat healthy, supplement with vitamins, exercise regularly, meditate away stress and keep a positive attitude. In retrospect, two of Dr. Taub's points stand out. First, he's strongly pro-breast feeding and adamantly opposed to anyone of any age drinking cow's milk ("Consumers Reports" has since investigated this issue and exonerated the dairy industry); second, he acknowledges the role of "entropy" in the life cyle of every human being. Comparing human development to the seasons, the stages of human beings to the natural cyles of the physical world, Dr. Taub is able, at least in the early pages, to disabuse readers of any illusions about the extent to which it is possible to turn back the clock. In this respect, perhaps the book distinguishes itself from many competing titles in the cluttered, frequently exploitive, universe of consumer health information.

Summary: A true HEALER.... where were you when I was 20 and foolish?
Review: With all of the complicated, controversial and misleading information that has been written on this subject, it is a pleasure to read such a profoundly simple, complete and common sense approach to weight management. Dr. Taub's writing style makes it an easy read that is full of life enhancing information. Dr. Taub states in his book that "Your thoughts are the driving force behind what you eat". Reading this book will change your thinking. 'Balance Your Body, Balance Your Life' is a must read for all who struggle with weight control. Thank you, Dr. Taub, for providing such a sensible and scientifically sound book that I can enthusiastically recommend. Dr. John H. Sklare/The Inner Diet
