did not like it

Listen, I've read a lot of diet books in my day because I'm a lazy fat guy who has a "health blog" as a side project so I have to review some of these diet books. If you want to lose weight and be really healthy--read this book, it has a chance of changing your life.

However, the moment you step into the world of Joel Fuhrman realize you're stepping into a infomercial. I mean, yes, his book is full of valid research and tips that are extremely useful to get you to lose weight full of testimonials on how to live a healthy life style, but as he's trying to save your life you can sort of tell he's look'n to make a buck, too. The health and diet industry is huge with a lot of money to be made, believe me I blog about it. Joe Fuhrman is one of these guys, but don't get me wrong, I do think his diet is the most intense and most probably successful diet you'll ever see--it's just extremely intense and requires some intestinal fortitude to walk away from the world of food and gluttony as you know it, and live a mostly fruit and vegetable based diet that extremely limits meat and cheese--yes, this will be tough my fellow Americans.

I also want to mention that this book should be listed under "Horror" because every bit of research is about how you're going to die of cancer, heart disease, or some other disease because you eat a modern western diet.

Jesse Aaron Barnhart the worst kind of monster, a monster of rhetoric.


message 2: by Mia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Mia You said it better than I did! I overall liked the book, but those were the major gripes I had with it. The commercial tone, the commercial-like padding, and the fear-mongering. Cancer, cancer everywhere, caused by anything BUT fruit!

Ernest Tessein You give it one star because it sounds like an infomercial and because you don't have the intestinal fortitude to give up foods that kill you? Maybe it sounds like an infomercial because it's trying to pertain to the masses. What's her selling? A book? A small price to pay for many QUALITY years added to your life. Maybe should look into all the lobbying the meat and dairy industries do.

Eric Ballinger So far, I agree. Enough already. I bought the book. Now tell me what I need to do.


RbbieFrah These days there are 2 basic kinds of diets
1) "Metabolic Diets " --these are dangerous unhealthy fads supported only by pseudo science ( examples of metabolic diet gurus are Gittleman , Fung and Atkins )
2) "Excellent Nutrition Diets " --these are very healthy diets that are supported by 1000s of scientific studies and have been around for centuries .Unlike teh metabolic fad diets they cure not only obesity but reverse all chronic diseases and lead to a long healthy life . (Examples of Excellent Nutrition diets are Dr Norman walker D.S. Dr Max Gerson MD , DR Ann Ann wigmore MD , and Dr Joel Fuhrman MD )
