Customers Reviews  2008-08-07 The best health book i have ever read I truly wish everyone would read this book, it is by far the best book i have ever read that concerns ones health we are truly as the book says, WE ARE WHAT WE EAT, this is truth, i wish i could thank the lady in person who wrote this book, i have stuggled with my weight the last 6years now i know why,i am struggling no more this book has helped me immensly all i have to say PLEASE BUY THE BOOK you will not regret it Ruth from Alaska |  2008-07-05 you are what you eat I really enjoyed this book. After watching Gillian's tv show, I couldn't wait to get her books and start being what I eat. Her books are very helpful in determining how to correctly address different issues. One issue it helped me with was about my tongue. I had questioned a doctor about it and she simply said "that is the way you are." So to me it just confirmed that you should get an 2nd opinon when possible. So to me if you really want to learn what you are, this is a great book to have. |  2008-06-28 Love this book..... I've bought almost 10 of them now!! I've had to give friends and family my own copy so I've had to reorder several times! Very informative and easy to read!! |  2008-06-28 I really wanted to give this book 5 stars There really is very good advice in this book. Things like reduce your meat intake, eat real foods instead of processed foods, and how to manage various health problems. There are also problems as well, I'm not sure where some of this science comes from. Also she writes she is a Dr, not an M.D. and according to her wiki, she doesn't even have a Ph.D from an accredited institution. I think a better way to write her name is Gillian McKeith Ph.D., its much less misleading.
[...]
I also have some issues with some of her guidelines being way too strict. No one on this planet can do everything she lists that you need to do, unless you are a machine. Personally, I eat the same breakfast most days of the week, I'm not going to avoid it for four days until I can eat it again. Also I just don't have the time or money to cook from scratch and eat organic. I know this is a criticism of many of these types of holistic books, but it does need to be addressed.
I've read several of these types of books and this one is very friendly in its layout with not too much technical information. It's a good starting point in your journey to wellness, but before you beginning believing that she has the answer to everything, verify the information in the book with either other books or your doctor. I think most people can get a lot out of this book, because I think most people think they eat healthy, but they really don't. I know I was in that camp. |  2008-06-05 she knows what she's talking about This is a simple book anyone can use, which goes into all kinds of ailments and benefits of different foods. Also, she warns against processed foods, etc, and encourages readers to eat more raw foods, but
not staying entirely away from cooked foods. There is also some info on basic herbs, and the index makes for easy referencing. All the pages are bright and colorful, with different pictures and fonts, and makes for an entertaining read that anyone can understand and apply to their life. It is well organized and easy to flip through.
Although this book doesn't go into extensive detail, most of the important info is in here. This author's knowledge in nutrition is sensible, and for anyone interested in learning how to eat healthy, I would say this is a good book to keep around. Would definitely recommend.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting Dieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting.
Danger 1 - on my own
The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet.
Danger 2 - on the buckwheat
There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements.
The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes.
Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation.
The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however.
Danger 3 – only diet
If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume.
The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed.
Danger 4- food is my best friend
The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry.
Remember everything is in your own hands. |
