Customer Reviews

Awesome book for a new way of life!

This isn't a typical diet book that's written to make things too easy and/or confuse you with un-verifiable 'facts'. It takes a little effort to read and to prepare to start the diet but I thought of it as a preparation to changing my life. I've lost about 60 pounds so far and, even better, am much healthier, have more energy and look much better (aside from the weight loss). There's no weird concoctions, shakes, or other kinds of gimmicks that can't be sustained, it's all good, natural, healthy food right from the grocery store. There are some awesome recipes but if you don't like to cook much (like me) there are plenty of throw-together things you can do and stick to the diet easily. I recommend this book and diet 100%!!

Excellent resource for healthy living & a healthy weight

Finally! After sifting through many, many diet books, here's one written by someone who is ACTUALLY an expert and not someone who just decided to write a diet book. I appreciate all the details, the suggestions, and multitude of options for "real" life. The others who have reviewed and been frustrated by flipping through the book -- well, you know, it takes dedication and repetition to really learn something that you will remember, so keep flipping, you'll get there. I love it because it's not a really a "diet", it's a way of life -- and one where you will arrive at a healthy weight in the process. You absolutely cannot lose when you are eating foods that are this good for you. Who hasn't tried (and been scared of) the diets where the foods are of questionable nutritional value? Not here. My whole family (toddlers included) eats the foods in this book, just in varying proportions. The soups and salads are particularly delicious and we always have the oatmeal variations for breakfast. Enjoy.

Foodies Opinion

I really love this book. The recipes are simple and you can interchange certain ingredients to fit your taste. I have worked in restaurants for more than ten years and I have yet to find a recipe in the book I didn't like. I have lost weight and have so much more energy. The information in the book has also helped me when I dine out. I don't overindulge and I choose items on the menu that benefit me. I highly recommend this book for a freer, healthier you.

A new and sensible approach

The book presents a strong research-based plan for combining the top healthy foods into meals and snacks that satisfy my palate, as well as hunger pains, and that support my efforts to achieve optimum health and weight. I'm making much better meal choices and have broken the sugar-craving cycle, which for me is an amazing achievement. It's a refreshing and innovative approach that makes sense for everyone, and one that I believe is do-able over the long term.

The BEST book on Nutrition I have ever read!

The original SuperFoodsRx was a guideline for me that helped me loose over 100lbs. I highly recommend this book as a guide to get and stay healthy. It changed the way I looked at food and this book simplifies eating even more. I read this new book in two days and it completely reinforced everything I had read in the original SuperFoods Book. Preparing meals has become a game to me to see how many super foods I can get into each dish. My morning oatmeal is now made with soymilk, walnuts, berries and soy protein powder. If I can manage to eat and stay healthy for almost four years anyone can! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to be healthy and give up fast food.
