Summary: 4 Stars
I first began the Fit For Life program (using the first Fit For Life book) 13 years ago and have continued using the dietary principles ever since. My problems with weight, acne, body odor, fatigue and mental sluggishness were all eliminated within several weeks of implementing the dietary recommendations alone. In addition to the dietary suggestions presented in Fit For Life II, there are sections on menu planning (including a large section of recipes), aerobic exercise, yoga (for back health and overall flexibility), breathing exercises (for stamina and mental clarity), colon health, resources and much, much more.
Some Christians may find the inclusion of yoga off-putting...if you cannot bring yourself to buy a book with this type of thing in it, I highly recommend God's Way To Ultimate Health by Rev. Malkmus (The Hallelujah Diet), which is both free of new ageisms and scripturally based.
The only other weakness in this book, as I see it (and the reason I give it four stars instead of five), is that the authors have sacrificed presenting clear scientific evidence for the sake of making this book accessible--but it is because of this that the book has sold so well, I suspect. The bottom line, however, is that this program is not only effective, but life changing. If you are interested only in losing weight, you will find many many other benefits along the way.
For those who are facing cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, severe allergies or other immune diseases, the Fit For Life program is a jumping off point to juicing, sprouting, raw foods, etc...Please investigate the work of Dr. Day (who cured herself of invasive breast cancer www.drday.com), Rev. Malkmus (The Hallelujah Diet, visit www.hacres.com ) and many others who are working in this area with great success, helping thousands of people find healing.
Easy to read, good information and easy to stick with! A worthwhile purchase.
Book Review: My pants fell down
Summary: 4 Stars
One August morning in 1988 I got off a bus on (I think) Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. I was on vacation, and it was a beautiful day. But I felt lousy, lacking energy and feeling generally sluggish. What's more, I'd had a "good" breakfast -- eggs & toast. After finding myself on Wilshire Boulevard, I noticed a Crown Books & thought, there must be something here to help me. I picked up a copy of FIT FOR LIFE, the first one. Where I came from it wasn't easy to get avocadoes, let alone distilled water, which was only used in irons. But for the next three weeks I was able to give it a try. I shopped at the Erewhon health food store, I remember. I adhered strictly to the Diamonds' regimen -- not following every meal instruction, but not infringing the rules either. I returned to my native country, and about four weeks after buying the book, I noticed that my pants were falling off me. I was perplexed for a while, because losing weight wasn't in my calculations. I just wanted to feel good. But after a bit the penny dropped, as had the fifteen pounds that I could obviously afford to lose (along with my pants, which I couldn't). By the way, I also felt a hell of a lot better.
It may or may not be that the Diamonds get carried away at times. They would not recommend diet alone for the treatment of cancer or a broken leg. Use your common sense. I have not remained fully true to the program over the years but as they recommend, do what you can.
