I love this book because it addresses the major causes of chronic health problems as well as those of us that just feel "bleah" a lot of the time. The changes made sense from what I seen as I scanned it and had really wanted to buy it for several months. It does call for some radical changes in diet and health, but that shouldn't be any big surprise. And its not a fad - its based on ancient, traditional dietary laws that make sense in today's world True - it starts out as a primarily Low-Carb Diet - but you are only allowed to eat BENEFICIAL, low carb, WHOLE FOODS - Absolutely no sugar free, chemical-laden, soy processed drinks or bars. You can use small amounts of Honey as well as Stevia - because they are REAL, LIVE foods and not chemicals or poison. You are to incorporate fruit ( no canned or sugar-drenched dried and ORGANIC if possible )gradually as well as Whole grains - and that means 100% whole grain food NOT made with sugars or corn syrup or anything you can't pronounce. I was impressed with it and can't wait to start the 40 day make-over. I think its worth it for everyone to check this out. I especially liked the information on Skin care / Hygiene products - basically, if you wouldn't eat it, you should not put it on your Skin/Hair. Your skin absorbs what you put on it and if there are carcinogenic ingredients (and the FDA does NOT regulate what goes into cosmetics - cancer-causing and beneficial alike) then it goes right into your bloodstream - your stomach does not even have a chance to attack it with acid - which would happen if you ate the products. Scary!! Enjoy - hope this helps SpaceycaissieRead full review
This book was recommend by my sister. She said she had seen the author on TV and that this diet was good for arthritis suffers. I looked to see if I could find it on ebay and sure enough it was there and I got it for a great price. The story about the author is amazing and I and my husband are starting the diet and looking forward to great results. I really like the fact that he lists the foods that are on the diet and the ones that are not. I also liked the fact that there are many recipes also included in the book. The diet should help much more than just arthritis. It is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone. It is worth the price just to read about Jordan Rubin and his amazing come back from certain death. This diet saved his life it has to be good for you and me too.
Very good information, in term anyone can use and understand. Helpful for many health issues over all great book. Also very easy reading.

About four + years ago my wife and I decided to start desiging our own home. We walked through hundreds of display homes and bought many home design magazines. Over the years we found things that we liked about different houses. In May of 2006 we took our ideas to an architect and took the next step on our journey. It was still the height of the constructoion boom in central florida. There was'nt one contractor who would talk to us because they were way to busy. Well...God does'nt give you a dream if He does'nt want you to have it,so we pressed on. Time and time again we were told no or we were given a price of over three times what I thought it would cost. I did some research and found that our county would let us act as our own builder. Now a new leg of our journey started. Now, I have no real experience as contractor,i had to do research on all the different aspects of building a house. Land clearing,dirt prep,surveying,permiting,septic wells footers and stem walls, the list goes on and on.It's overwhelming if you look at the big picture. All this while I held a full time job and my wife held a full time job and went to college,oh and did I mention we have a child and animals. My friend Les always told me you can eat an elephant if you you do it ONE BITE AT A TIME. So off we went again. A house that every one else wanted over seven hundred thousand to build we priced out at two hundred twenty five thousand. I know, you don't have to be rocket scientist to figure out that math. Well we started out again. because we saved so much money acting as our own builders we decided to add a professional theater and put a surround system in my 11yr old room as well as one in the great room and of course the master bedroom. That's what brings me here. On of my work associates turned me on to e-bay. Even though you have to do some research to make sure you get a good deal I love it. I'm an e- bay junky. We've bought almost all of our electronics through e-bay not only saving mucho denaro but also lots of time as it's sent right to my front door. At this point we've started the drywall process of our new home and within the next eight weeks should be in our new home. We give all the credit to God and give thanks to him,the sub contractors,friends (jim and cathy c.),family and of course to e-bayRead full review
I have had a lifelong interest in diet and exercise and have read dozens off books on the subject over the years, but none have affected me like this one! Not just a diet book, The Makers Diet is about obtaining lifelong optimum health. No fads here, just fact. Do you want to live your best life and feel great along the way? If so this book will be of interest to you. It's not just about losing weight (although I lost 10 in 4 weeks, and that's a wonderful thing!!), but more importantly, about feeling fantastic. Even my mood has changed on this diet and I wake-up every morning with a whole new attitude and increased energy. So much of this book addresses what should be common sense but that's been lost in our modern era quest for convenience, fast and easy processed foods,and generally unhealthy environments we live iin. Not only does Jordan Rubin include his own amazing story of illness and recovery, he lays out a plan that will appeal to anyone interested in staying well and enjoying a healthly life. There are recipes, food plans, and shopping lists to get you started and really the only foods not allowed are things NO ONE should consider eating anyway. Sure, there are adjustments that will need to be made in the average diet, but once Jordan Rubin explains why they're taboo, you're likely to lose your taste for them anyway. Since reading my copy of this book I've bought several others for friends and relatives and will continue to do so. No baloney here, this is the real deal!Read full review
