Absolutely Worth It!

This book was a great read and really points you in the right direction for optimal health. It was my doctor who told me about the book (he follows the diet in the book) so I figured - why not? When I first read the book I was already vegan, but didn't quite follow all the guidelines he includes. So, together with this book and the Meal Plans book written by Marilyn Polk, I dove headfirst into a change of lifestyle; and what a change it was! I have since lost over 100 pounds and I don't want to sound like an infommerical, but I didn't even have to try! I just feel 100% healthier, happier and more energetic and will NEVER go back to any other way of eating. I urge everyone to try it for a couple of months and see how they feel - I think you'll be very happy!

I was healed of lupus

5 years ago I was diagnosed with lupus...very sick. I really thought that my life was going to go downhill from that point as I did alot of research on the disease and for everyone it seems to just snowball and get worse and worse until they finally die of some kind of complications. Also, lupus patients are very highly medicated. I decided that instead of going the medical route I would try this diet of juicing carrots and eating an 85% plant based diet. I was only 3 days into the diet and started to gain energy that I hadn't had in years. I continued to get better and better...and really, 3 months into it I was pretty much healed of the disease. I had no idea that a person could feel so good. I felt and still do feel better than I can ever remember feeling. even as a teenager (I am 48). i also lost 25 lbs which was a nice plus. I don't follow the diet 100% right now, but I do try to stick to it as much as possible and I very seldom eat meat. I kind of know my limits now, so cheat alot, but still feel great! I completely, 100% recommend this diet to everyone...especially if you are sick. yes, it is a life style change, but if you really love life and want to live it to its fullest, you need to give this a try.

Lots of Information for not just HOW, but WHY

I have been studying food, health, and nutrition for many years. I have spent years wading through the fads and wild assertions of many diets and health crazes, and took what works and kept it, and rejected what doesn't. This book, by Rhonda Malkmus is one of the very few books that has a huge compilation of the valuable information that I have gathered over the years and put it in one very easy to read place. I often recommend this book to many people who do not have the library of resources that I do because they will find the most amount of valuable information in this book than most books that I know of for those who are trying to change their life into a healthier mode of living. The beginning of the book explains what needs to be in your kitchen, and what needs to be out. There are many recipes from 5star raw to 1star cooked so that you can adapt your diet to raw eating and include those in the family who do not want to eat like you. Every recipe I have tried from this book has been excellent with few exceptions. The instructions are clearly laid out, and the ingredients are not outlandish like many raw books. Some of the recipes sound boring, but in most cases, they are delicious. One thing I do not like about it is that some of the recipes for breads and cookies are all dehydrated which I do not have time to plan for in advance most of the time. We especially love the raw soup recipes- asparagus, carrot, avocado, gazpacho, and raw chili. There are even menu suggestions on the back in case you get stuck for what to feed the family. Out of all of the raw food books I have, Recipes for Life is one that I reach for most often- especially when I am in a hurry. Another very good raw recipe book is Sunfood Cuisine. It not only gives great delicious recipes, but it teaches you priciples of how to quickly put together your own recipes from what ingredients you already have.

This is the only way to eat for a healthy disease free life!

This diet changed my life. I spent years being sick with hospital bills through the roof, all before the age of 25. The past six months I have stayed on this diet, which was hard at first, and now that I am feeling better than ever and have been given a clean bill of health, I can not imagine eating the way I used to. I don't have to worry about diseases in my meat because I no longer eat meat, and I have no need to search endlessly through Cosmo for the perfect skin cream, because my skin is amazing! Try this diet if you want to live a vibrant and healthy life, in spite of the world's view on the pleasures of food and all of the other stresses that try to entice us to eat and celebrate with cancer causing sugary and chemical laden foods. I believe that this diet is for smart people; so if you're feeling like a genius and have been making great decisions in your life lately, there is just one more to make. Get this book!
