The 30 Day Total Health Makeover: Everything You Need to Do to Change Your Body, Your Health, and Your Life in 30 Amazing Days

I've done the 30-Health Makeover several times, mostly because I miss something along the way, or forget things over time. I first started this program in 1999, lost about 60 lbs. (without much exercise as I was working about 75-90 hrs. a week and my skin, hair and nails became healthier. I've always had people at work asking me what I'm eating because it looks and smells delicious. I sometimes substitute less expensive fish and the program works fine. By the end of the month, you're pretty used to the food combining and it's not hard to come up with simple meals of your own that follow the rules. Also, many maintstream grocery stores now have organic foods and lots of soy and/or rice substitutes, so shopping is easier than it was when I first started the program.

This book is laid out out fabulusly. It begins with a clear introduction and then lays everything out for the reader in sections. I am not a good speller but I do know when someone has written a book as good as this. It also has every thing laid out for the reader from grocery list for the week to wonderfully colared pictures of the foods that you can make with the enclosed recipies. The book is so organised that she has a picture of her dinning room table with note cards laid out and organised for the book.

This book is awesome! I love that there are healthy and delicious menus every day, for thirty days - and there are also vegetarian and on-the-go options so you can switch out menus any time you like. And while you're following the menus, you can follow Marilu's wonderful tips on anything from organizing your home - to your life! Marilu has fun beauty secrets that she shares each day, motivational tips, and lots of great exercise information. She even helps us "fake it 'til we make it." There's a great online support website at Marilu.com, and I found this to be most helpful in finding others who wanted a healthier lifestyle. There are online support classes every month, as well. Thanks Marilu for a great book that truly changed my life!

This book is amazing- She gives you a menu for everyday- a beauty tip, an organizing tip and so much more. She is personable, funny and she really cares about the health of her readers. In addition her online community is a great assest to The Total Health Makeover program. This is a Way of Life- and it's changed my life! Thank you Marilu!

Great book for learning how to change yourself both inside and out and adopt a healthier eating habits and behaviors. I would use the book as an educational springboard, take what makes sense to you, and modify the program along the way to meet your lifestyle.
