Customer Reviews

Some sanity in a sea of confusion!`

I bought this book as background information when I started on the Holford Low GL diet, which helped me to lose 35 pounds fast, after a decade of unsuccessful dieting. The Optimum Nutrition Bible was just that. It explained the causes of a number of various physical conditions that my family, my friends and I were experiencing, and then gave easy-to-implement nutritional guidelines for overcoming these problems. The data is presented in layman's terms - you don't need a medical degree to understand what he's talking about - and the indexing is good when you need to find something in a hurry. If your health is important to you, and could be better than it is, this book might be just the thing you need to set you on the road to recovery through the simple advice and nutritional guidelines presented.

The true bible

This book is a real nutrition bible. There is no truly amazing new information but well documented and referenced science. The tests provided to determine your optimum supplement intake are easy to do and it really works wonders.

Become an informed nutritional consumer

The book covers a lot of aspects with regards to Nutrition. It enables you to become an informed nutritional consumer. I see that as being important: (1) there so many health gimmicks and some very costly (2) being informed, you can avoid certain diseases or improve your quality of live. Patrick Holford, being a medical practitioner, presents the information in a scientific way.

Doctor Recommended

A great easy to read book on nutrition

This is an excellent book that is easy to read and understand. The cost and size make it especially appealing for a non-medical person who wants the basic info about diet and nutrition.
