Summary: Too Much Emphasis on Preaching the Bible
Review: I originally wanted to read this book because of her magazine advertisment with a Vita-mix. I ordered a Vita-Mix and I thought she'd give many tips and experiences using the Vita-Mix for improving her health. Well was I wrong! The advertisment was very misleading. She didn't mention the Vita-mix at all (that I could find) except in the recipes and the most of her health plan was mixed with quotations from the Bible. I didn't buy the book for a Bible lesson. If I wanted a Bible lesson, I'd buy books on Chrisitanity. She even has an address to write to so you can learn more about the Bible in the back section.

There are many people who are not Christian who are looking for a healthy food plan. They are happy in there own religions and don't need her to preach to them. She should have kept religion out of her book, and stuck to the point of healthy eating, but I get the feeling she'd having nothing much to write about if she didn't. I felt like she was trying to convert me through-out the book. Her plan was nothing exceptional and mostly low carb with heavy meat eating. Didn't the Bible preach vegetarianism?
