Book Reviews of Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover

Book Review: Re-hash of 'Fit for Life'
Summary: 2 Stars

If you've ever read Harvey and Marilyn Diamond's bestseller 'Fit for Life' -- then you've already been over this ground. Fit for Life is based on a dietary belief system known as "natural hygiene." Henry Ford was the most famous hygienist -- and there is even a Natural Hygiene Society. Their basic beliefs are the same as Henner's: Ideally, you're a vegetarian, caffeine and alcohol are out, dairy is out, tobacco is definitely out, and food combining -- the proper mixing of proteins and starches -- is the way you eat. Spaghetti with meat sauce? No. A roast beef sandwich? No. You can have one "concentrated food" per meal. Anything that is not a fruit or vegatable is a concentrated food. Additionally, Potatoes and beans are considered concentrated foods. So, if you want to have chicken and rice.....nope. How about toast for breakfast? Nope...only fruit for breakfast. And, you can't combine fruit with other foods. I actually did the Fit for Life/natural hygiene thing for several years, and it works extremely well. I'm not sure it's really sustainable....kind of like Atkins or any other drastic diet. Anyway, I guess I was expecting to read something new -- not just another book on natural hygiene. However, I do have to say that I think Marilu is doing a great service for people looking for a healthier lifestyle.

Summary of Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover

New York Times Bestseller

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT REALLY HEALTHY?

DO YOU FEEL HEALTHY RIGHT THIS MINUTE?

For Marilu Henner, the answer is a resounding YES!

Marilu knows from nineteen years of research and practice that feeling and looking good are every person's birthright, no matter what their age or physical condition.Now, in this practical, proven guide, she shows how you, too, can achieve optimum well-being and longevity with her unique, flexible ten-step B.E.S.T. (Balance, Energy, Stamina, Toxin-Free) life plan that will change the way you feel about your health and your body.

Motivated by her parents' untimely deaths in their early fifties and her own previous struggles with weight and health, Marilu has developed this complete design for living that can be tailored to your individual needs. Down-to-earth, warm, and irrepressibly humorous, Marilu provides a working philosophy of good health.

Your health is the single most important factor in your life. With Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover, you can free yourself forever from diets and disease-causing toxins, boost your energy, lower and maintain your weight, and change your outlook. Begin with any one step'and start discovering a whole new you!


Marilu Henner's familiar voice draws you into listening to her message of optimum health with a friendly, funny, and very professional delivery. (Henner is best known for her roles in Taxi, Evening Shade, and the Broadway musical Chicago.) She starts out by proclaiming how well she feels after nine solid years on what she calls the B.E.S.T. program--balance, energy, stamina, and toxin-free. There seems to be a twinkle in her voice, which may be attributed to the fact that she feels better and has more energy (or "Hennergy," as her family likes to call it) at 45 than she did in her 20s.

Listeners might want to keep a pad and pencil handy to write down some of the more specific directions, such as the 10 steps to optimum health and the basic rules of food combining. Henner's personal eating crusade--no dairy, no meat, no refined sugar, no caffeine--may be a little extreme for some people, but she has suggestions for beginner, intermediate, and advanced health makeovers, encouraging individuals to go at their own pace. Her enthusiasm for the program and its potential results--sparkling eyes, glowing skin, and bundles of energy--are abundantly clear in this down-to-earth recording. (Running time: 90 minutes, one cassette)
