Book Reviews of The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended: Lose Weight, Beat Food Cravings, and Get FitBook Review: Excellent book Summary: 5 Stars
If you are interested in knowing a healthy way of losing weight, improving your life and all this by eating everything, this is the book for you. This is one of the best books explaining a diet routine based on age old Ayurveda. Usually I come across books written by authors who has good knowledge in Ayurveda but do not know how to express it well in English or vice versa. John Douillard has an excellent way of explaining the complicated yet great principles of Ayurveda in simple language. I had purchased 3 other Ayurveda books along with this book. This was the only one I could finish at one sitting. I am from India, land of Ayurveda but strangely, I developed an interest in the subject only after coming to this country. I am not (yet) interested (nor ready) in understanding all the underlying philosophies of Ayurveda but wanted to understand how to fine tune my diet based on Ayurvedic principles & my unique body constitution. And this book was perfect to give me just enough details. One thing I would say negative about this book is that - I wonder whether he went a bit too far in debunking other fad diets out there. I mean it isn't wrong, whatever he is saying is correct however I wonder whether he could've talked atleast generally without mentioning their names and such. Except this one teeny tiny disagreeable aspect, I LOVE this book a lot. I have changed my eating habits based on his suggestions. I still haven't managed to take 1-2 hr break for my lunch though, still on my to do list :-) I am also following his breathing technique suggestions & the morning exercise routines. I am already seeing an incredible change in my life. I am such a fan of the book and am recommending the book and his techniques to all my friends now.
Summary of The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended: Lose Weight, Beat Food Cravings, and Get Fit* Do you drink coffee in the morning to get your day started?
* Do you work through lunch?
* Do you crave sweets or a nap in the afternoon?
* Have you tried losing weight in the past three years and given up?
* Do you tend to have bouts of worry, anxiety, and depression?
* Do you have difficulty remembering things?
If you do, this book will help you restore balance to your daily life. By following its simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, you will not only lose excess pounds and maintain your ideal weight, you will generate energy and power in your life.
Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will: work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons, feeding it what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In spring, for instance, we want salads, berries, and leafy greens, a naturally low-fat diet. And in winter, we yearn for hearty soups, nuts, warm grains, and high-fat and protein-rich foods such as fish and meat. Following the foods that nature provides seasonally creates the best diet for balancing weight, mood, and energy for anyone living anywhere on earth.
