Book Reviews of Fit for Life: A New Beginning
Book Review: not so sure....
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this before doing any research. It started out promising, but those promises started sounding a little too ideal---with not much fact to back it up. I've since read some critical reviews of the information and think much is based on fantasy. While I whole-heartedly agree with the author's disdain for much of the pharmaceutically-driven American medical philosophy, I'm not so sure this is ultimately much more sound. I think there must be better out there.Book Review: Scientifically incorrect - be careful!
Summary: 1 Stars
Before rating all of the negative reviews as being unhelpful and criticizing anyone who brings up actual facts, please do some research and find out the truth.Yes, eating fruits and vegetables is healthy - I'm sure most of us didn't need a book to tell us that. However, eliminating certain food groups completely is NOT healthy, and nor is there any scientific evidence to support the "food combining" theory. Anyone who has ever taken a biology or nutrition course at the high school level should be able to recognize the obvious ridiculousness of the pseudoscience presented in this book.
No, do NOT take the suggestion of another reviewer and disregard negative reviews - they bring up valid, scientifically verified points that I can't believe so many people are willing to ignore. Many of the claims made by Harvey Diamond are simply FALSE, period. Others are half-truths, twisted versions of some vaguely scientific fact designed to make you believe the false nutritional information in this book.
Read a review written by someone who is actually qualified - a Registered Dietitian, or RD, which is a title that is protected by law so that only those who meet all of the qualifications and education requirements can call themselves that....>They both are written by RD's - in other words, people with a real, valid educational background in nutrition, who are qualified to give nutritional advice.
Harvey Diamond, on the other hand, possesses a "PhD" from an unaccredited school that was formed by a high school dropout who believed that viruses do not exist. The school has since been forbidden from using the word "College" in its name and from granting academic credits or degrees.
PLEASE, before you believe ridiculous claims such as those made by Harvey Diamond, do some research! It seriously disturbs me that so many people could believe such obviously untrue statements. Please be careful and find out the scietific facts before you go believing everything you read in some book.

I learned about the "Diamond Method" from Tony Robbin's Living Health seminar and of course I now wish I had done some research before I wasted my money (on both Living Health and Fit for Life).
Turns out the diet is based on Natural Hygiene pseudoscience. You may lose weight following it, it is a diet after all, but everything you "learn" about food-combinding, fermentation etc. is factually wrong.
Amazon has a great selection of books on diet, this isn't one.
Do some research before you jump on the bandwagon. Here's a start: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/fitforlife.html
