Review of Staying Healthy with Nutrition, rev: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Paperback)

Dr. Haas has put together one of the most complete nutrition books that can be enjoyed by the average reader. From what I have read, he makes no outrageous claims, though he does believe nutrition can offer healthbenefits (which would distinguish this book from a standard nutritiontextbook). While the price may seem a little steep, there are 1140 pagesthat contain a wealth of information. The first 353 pages list virtuallyevery popular nutrient (vitamins, minerals, fats, etc) and food category(such as beans, citrus fruits, etc). He even gives relevant information onthe pseudo-vitamins such as Pangamic Acid (B15), amygdalin (B17), andVitamin U. He also lists many of the popular diets and their benefits anddrawbacks.
He also includes a very helpful section on "the EnvironmentalAspects of Nutrition." Possible pollutants and common food additives arediscussed.He lists "88 Survival Suggestions."
Over 100 pages arededicated to a Seasonal Cookbook. The foods are healthy, but possiblydifficult for the average reader to obtain.It is possible with a littlework however. There is a section on "Nutritional Application," which hasspecial diets and suggestions for people with cancer, heart disease, yeastsyndrome, and other disorders. He also includes suggestions for executives,adults, children, alcoholics, and adolescents. Overall the NutritionalApplication section is very complete.
Finally he includes around 80 pagesof health questionnaires that test health knowledge and actually intend toestimate one's health level. I use this whenever I have general or specifichealth questions. I recommend it highly.

Review of The Liver-Cleansing Diet (Paperback)

After coming back from holidays 3kg heavier than my NORMAL 92kg (206lbs) (which is over 15kgs more than my recommended body weight to my height of 5'8") I put myself onto Dr Cabot's Liver-Cleansing Diet on a days notice.Why did I choose the LCD?I didn't have to sign up on anything or go to groups or meetings etc.I had a list of what I could eat and what I couldn't eat and I stuck to it like a zealot.In the course of the eight weeks I lost 13kg's (29lbs) getting myself down from 95kgs to 82kgs (183lbs)!
This proved to me that not only was I well and truly overweight but that my eating habits were absolutely shocking and needed a change.AND I did not starve myself either.I did try to modify the amount of food I ate because not only was the problem what I was eating, but how much, but I never starved myself or went hungry.If I felt like something to eat out of normal meals I would just blend up a banana & soya milk smoothie with frozen bananas and a dollop of natural honey (try it!).
I have two recommendations for people doing this diet.
1: Stick to it religiously, if you allow yourself butter here and there or some greasy chips at a party you will find it too easy to stray from the diet.Dr Cabot says in the book you are allowed the odd indiscretion, but I found for me personally it had to be all or nothing.
2: If you have a partner (wife/husband/etc) then they really should do it as well because the temptation is great to have the food they get to eat.I know this now because I am on the diet for a second time to try and get my weight to around 77kg (172lbs) but my wife is not joining me AS MUCH as the first time round because she doesn't need too (55kg).Seeing that bottle of coke when you are reaching for that soy milk, or that block of cheese sitting next to that block of tofu makes for some mighty effort in willpower but I am sticking to my guns!
Good luck!
