Summary of Recipes for Life: From the Fitonics Kitchen

Recipes for Life presents recipes for all occasions. Stoke your morning energy with imaginative, slenderizing tonics, super-nutritious prescriptions for meals-in-a-glass, such as refreshing Island Tonic. Enjoy a variety of energizing high protein midday Power Lunches, from Pan-seared Salmon with Wilted Greens and Cucumber Relish to New York Steak Super Salad Goat Cheese and Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette. Vegetarians and non vegetarians alike will delight in the cleansing Soothing Supper concept of heart-healthy New World Lasagna or Winter Vegetable Stew in Hearty Brown Gravy. You'll find wholesome soups and super salads for speedy weight loss, and a delightful selection of sweets for every taste, including muffins, cookies, cakes, pies and tarts that will make you healthier than ever!

On the holistic level, Diamond's recommendations are similar to the positive thinking and meditative routines presented by other popular New Age gurus. On the dietary level, advice includes when, what, and how to eat. For example, Diamond suggests eating your main meal at midday and gives guidance for using carbohydrates for a mellowing effect. Her main emphasis, however, is on consuming raw foods. She claims that raw food is so full of nutrients and enzymes that "it digests on its own, without requiring any ... digestive energy from your body." The result is that you have increased vitality for everything from thinking more clearly to losing weight.

Much as Diamond favors raw foods, the meat, fish, and poultry recipes created by her daughter, Lisa Neuwirth, who is a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, are as impressive as those for grain-free Fruesli, spicy Gazpacho Arizona, and a whole-grain Lemon-Chocolate Bread Pudding. --Dana Jacobi
