Good sound advice, well written

I liked the book a lot. It tells you how to select the right kinds of food to eat. And, how to combine that with the proper exercise. The book goes along well with the G.I. Diet book. The foods the recommend are pretty much the same. I lost 20 lbs by following the 'diet' and never really felt like I was dieting. If you eat high fiber foods you will be eating more healthy and more filling foods so you don't feel hungry. It's tough to stick with the diet with all the junk food available. In restaurants, the grocery, and fast foods (I no longer eat at fast food places). Plus, it has helped by cholesterol to be lower.

Great Book

Let me say right off that I liked this book. I liked the way the author writes, as if you are right there with him, down to earth, in terms that can be understood and followed. Refreshing! He explains to you the workings of the body, what certain foods will and will not do for you and gives you some personal experience stories that bring what he is saying to life. He even understands that there are times you will cheat and gives you a cheat meal. How great is that? He tells you about supplements and explains what is and is not needed. I liked this section because for me, that subject can be very confusing. Along with this, you have an entire section on exercising, with a host of black and white pictures to make sure you are positioning yourself correctly. I don't know about you, but for me that has been a problem in the past. It's nice to look at the pictures and at least hope I can get in that position and do the exercise correctly. You have a great nutrition plan, based on scientific and medical facts, a great exercise program and the backing of a doctor who lives what he writes. I think that makes a pretty good package and a great book. Recommended for those who really want to improve their lives, feel better and look better. Shirley Johnson
