Book Reviews of Green for Life
Book Review: Inspirational, thought-provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried fasting, vegetarianism (uneducated), food combining, Nutrisystem, Liver Cleansing diet, detox diets, the Zone, Atkins, 20:20 at the Pro Club, NHE, Paleo, numerous supplements (legal and not), etc. They all left something to be desired in the way I FELT after a couple of weeks, even if they resulted in fat loss. Plus, I never saw permanent relief from my long list of annoying complaints. I'd get colds just as easily, or still be chronically stiff, etc.
This book helped me make some new connections between the info I gleaned from my other efforts, and offered me a new avenue to explore. I was sorry to finish reading it. I don't know how scientifically sound it is, but even the scientifically-sound diets I've tried were disappointing so I'm resorting to experimentation. I've had green smooties for 2+ weeks, and internally I feel clean and clear. Being hypothyroid and hypoglycemic, I was really scared of the high carb count, but so far I'm ok.
Note that it's not really a how-to book, but helps you decide the how-to for yourself.
Book Review: Green for Life is the key for a successful raw food diet!
Summary: 5 Stars
At 61 years old I had developed a number of cronic health problems that could not be reversed with conventional medicine. Five months ago my wife and I (after much research) started on an organic raw food diet to improve our health. Fortunately one of the first books we purchased was 12 Steps to Raw Foods, because the "green smoothies" that Victoria writes about are packed with nutrition and completely eliminate the cravings for junk food. The results of this diet are truly asounding even miraculous! These are the conditions that are now completely gone: Migrain headaches, arthritis in my hands, sleep apnea and tendenitis. My triglycerides have dropped from 2000 to 245, my blood pressure is down to 102/68 and my cholesterol is 110. In the process I have lost 30lbs and am still losing 6-7lbs/mo. With all of my "itises" gone I am able to lift weights and run again. We will never go back to the old way of eating. Victoria's new book, Green for Life, has added greatly to our "smoothy" recipies and new valuable information for our new lifestyle.Book Review: Simple but utterly profound
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, Victoria Boutenko explains why eating raw greens is so important. Although nutritional recommendations often seem to shift with the winds, one consistent and clear piece of advice has always been to eat lots of those leafy green vegetables -- filled with phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. The big problem, of course, is that these foods are often not too palatable unless smothered in fat-laden, salty, or otherwise dubious dressings. What if there were a way to eat your greens and actually enjoy the experience? That is what this book offers. I have followed the recipes and enjoyed almost all of them (there was one clinker), and I have enjoyed real health benefits from eating my greens. It's clear from the study that she describes (with detailed information about the experiences of the study participants) that I'm not alone in finding great benefit from her green smoothies. I recommend this book to everyone. It is truly a book that will help everyone who follows its advice.Book Review: A true pearl in the Raw Movement
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say that the reviewers comments below is not one that is Accurate or Fair. This book is in no way selling or recommending any product(s)!
I've read this book and given copies to friends and family. The book is filled with facts about green smoothies that is absolutely incredible.
Victoria has poured lots of research into presenting a great testament to the benefits of green smoothies.
While most of these smoothies are made from kale, spinach, dandelion, or chard, they are incredibly delicious. The results of drinking these smoothies, can be seen and felt. Victoria clearly does not claim to be anything other than a researcher. But to her credit she has taken her family to new health heights and offers readers the same opportunity.
Having just attended a presentation by Victoria where covers much of the material in this book, I can say that she is living proof of being Green for Life!
This book will be (and is already) a classic!
Book Review: Green Smoothies for a Healthy Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so thankful for the day I was given the book "Green for Life". The information in this book is invaluable. Green smoothies have given me my life back. I was living in so much pain, frequent visits to the doctor for treatments for migraines, backaches, and stomach aches and no one could tell me what was wrong with me. After one week of drinking green smoothies, the migraines went away, and the other pain diminished drastically. I honor and respect Victoria Boutenko for sharing her family's miracle with the world - it is truly an ongoing inspiration. My father had surgery due to colon cancer - five months after the surgery he was still having problems with the surgery site on his abdomen. He was getting sharp stabbing pain - after drinking green smoothies for two weeks he reported to me that the pain went away. I believe the rest of my father's life will be healthier because of the additional nutrients he is ingesting via green smoothies. Fruits and greens will be my main diet always.
