Nutrition Books

The FBI is brilliant! If Amazon did 90 stars I'd give it one for every day of the programme. This book is second only to having Steve Halls as a coach, and with the same practical realistic approach and a touch of the humour. Many people will benefit from this book with its mixture of advice on food, lifestyle and exercise along with a structured exercise programme you can adapt to suit your situation. I found good reminders of what I know and forget as well as new information. Just imagine how much money you'll save by buying this book and following the exercise programme instead of paying for a gym membership, or how much more effective your gym membership will be... either way it's an excellent companion that will help you make the transition from couch potato to your fittest state in three months

Steve Halls served in the British Army for over 23 years. He also gained a Premier Diploma in Fitness and Traing and Sports Therapy. Later he began a career in Personel training and working with people with special medical needs. Steve Halls can even brag about being a Fitness Director of The Academy of high Achievers. Along with that, Steve Halls is using some of his time passing his teachings on through public speaking all over the country. Steve Halls is definitely the kind of person this world can benefit from.

"The FBI (Fit Body Initiative)" book was brought to my attention via the author himself, due to my involvement in regards to self-esteem issues and fitness."THE FBI" book is very well written and easy to follow for every walk of life or level of fitness. Which in turn makes this a very compatible book to live by. The pictures used to illustrate the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. Steve Halls manages to get back to basics in his teachings of fitness and diet. He pulls no punches and creates no illusions. Steve keeps his book real and possible for all. A must these days with all the unrealistic expectations out there. "The FBI "book definitely does what the author has set out to do. Steve Halls brings the importance of fitness and positive self-esteem together through his teachings. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is searching for a way that will help them stay their course in motivation and success. "The FBI" is available for purchase. Click the book cover below.

Steve really knows his stuff and I have a lot to thank him for, as my personal trainer. I have lost two stone with his help and I'm currently preparing for the Potteries Half Marathon.
I couldn't have contemplated doing that without Steve. His enthusiasm and expertise translates perfectly to the pages of this book, so I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their general level of fitness.
I know people who have lost weight just by reading it! That's because it also offers advice on diet and nutrition.
It really is an all-singing, all-dancing fitness guide, and it would make the perfect gift for anyone who doesn't want to fork out hundreds of pounds for a gym membership they'll use once or twice in a year.

This is an outstanding fitness book. It is very comprehensive and very clear. The photos and the way in which it has been written make it very easy to know how to carry out the exercises and the encouraging comments along the way and the 'hard truths' that are put to you straight really help you to keep your mind on where you are going.
I recommend this book as a 'must have' for anyone serious about increasing their health and fitness to live a long and happy life.

This is the best fitness book I have ever read. It shows that the author has a true indepth understanding of the mechanics of the human body. The FBI is a balance of exercise, healthy living and complete encouragement
With a ninety day programme to follow, I know this is to be a best seller and is to be a must for everyone who cares about their health!!

Dampness and phlegm are among the most vexing elements in treating patients with Chinese Medicine. This book is the best I have seen in discussing the physiological function of jin and ye fluids, pathogenic damp and phlegm and the organ systems that deal with them.

This is simply the best book in the English language on Chinese herbal medicine. The depth of information goes far beyond anything else available and it is all backed up by the experience of one of the West's premiere practitioners

This book gives you a lot idea of understanding in oriental medicine. It bring to you real taste of classics especially huang di nei jing and nan jing.The majority books of oriental medicine in English don't give us real picture of oriental medicine, but the book does!! One thing I want to wish is when they using pin yin, should be accompained chinese character. Great book!!!!

This book is excellent. For the advanced student or practitioner, this book enlightens the reader on all aspects of Fluid, Jin-ye, Phlegm, Dampness, and their origins. It also discusses herbs in a very interesting and useful way, comparing and contrasting phlegm and damp herbs and their specifics. This is my favorite theory book on my shelf.

Fluids & electrolytes can be rather daunting but this book really does make it easy. Great pictures with explanations! It will help you with your exams and on the boards.

I'm in my junior year of nursing school and this book has been instrumental in my understanding of ICF, ECF, electrolyte imbalances, starling forces, capillary filtration, sodium, cl and water imbalances, solution alterations... and this is only my second week of Path!

GREAT BOOK ! I lucked out and they had this edition at the library. As soon as the new edition comes out I am going to by that one b/c I am sure it is going to be a great reference book for NCLEX and for clinical instruction.

This study book is a must for anyone who needs to understand about fluid shifts and electrolyte imbalances. I am a R.N.nursing student and I found this book to be invaluabe in explaining a complex subject. I highly recommend it!

Great reading, good use of colors, structure and humor to get the point across. A nice change from dry textbook review. I found this a valuable refresher on fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Effects on EKG's, ABG interpretation made easy. IV therapy TPN therapy, Everything!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Where was this book when I was in undergraduate school? Now that I am teaching nursing I have found it very useful in that it has given me a rare opportunity to present a very complex and hard to understand block of material is a manner much easier for students to understand. It is packed with easy to understand pictures, diagrams, and graphs that help teach the concept in a way that is "reader friendly". The illustrations are unbelievable and a great tool used by the author to present the ideas to the reader. I have even had requests from the Occupational Therapy faculty at our college to use the book for their lectures as well.. Great Job ! I would highly recommend it to anyone, whether a staff nurse or a faculty member at a university or college...

This book well deserves the Bestseller slot it holds in the UK but despite it's claims to be suitable for vegetarians I'd advise looking over Mr Marber's shoulder.

They say behind every great man there's a great woman.....check out Yvonne Bishop-Weston BSc Dip ION MBANT at The Food Doctor.

If you have leanings towards vegetarianism then try her recipe book by Hamlyn (Vegan) ISBN 0600609154 - fantastic healthy recipes. It's based on the same kind of higher protein,lower or rather better carb, lower GI / GL (glycaemic load) type principles that have made Ian Marber so famous recently whilst battling out on British TV with other nutri-celebs.

It's also on special offer at Amazon! Enjoy

Excellent.A well written diet book that not only is simple to follow & makes sense,but also offers in it's great layout the most delicious,interesting & varied food.Ian Marber's plan for life long healthy eating is a delight & joy to follow.

This is an excellent work on the classic problems faced by people of all ages-at some stage of life. Namely; the collective
impact of parasites, yeasts and sugar can be very damaging to
the gastrointestinal tract and the inflammatory processes in
the body. The author provides a menu of fruits, veggies and
herbs to help deflect many of the most painful problems
of the gastrointestinal tract. The book is well worth the price
of admission. It should be in every health library.

I love this book. It is a v. common sense approach and fits in with normal day to day living. Over the last three years I've been slowly cutting sugar, refined carbs and saturated fats out of my diet and going back to basic wholefoods. BUT, it's sometimes very hard not to reach for that slice of bread or a biscuit. And it's sometimes very hard to find inspiration from basic foods like eggs, yogurt, salads, meat and vegetables, potatoes and rice. This diet is what I've been trying to do, but just couldn't quite get the inspiration or the know-how. It takes all those basic ingredients and adds a lot more interesting ones and puts them all together so that the diet is no longer boring.

I've tried Atkins, and also mostly raw food diets. But they get a bit tedious after a while because they're not varied enough. This diet is based on common sense and eating sensibly. I started with the 7 day diet and really enjoyed the recipes (all very easy to make). My clothes were loose by the end of the week and it wasn't even hard to do! Now I follow the recommendations of how to eat healthy, and it's great. I always have something good in the fridge to snack on. The diet part is also a bit like a 7-day simple cooking course in that it shows you how to use herbs and spices to liven up your meals. The recipes at the back are very easy, but v. good and interesting. It has really expanded my repertoire of things that I now reach for every day. I've just bought the book for my sister, as she has some food intolerances, so she's going to give it a try too.

...then it would be this man. This is a highly sensible and helpful text that aims to address a lot of the dietry and digestive problems that have become a common part of modern day life. Don't assume it is about loosing weight, the word "diet", seems to have come to mean that and yet it so much more of an embracing word. This is just a good book about the most sensible kind of medicine, food and good food at that.
It should be in every home and in every Doctor's consulting room right next to their prescription book!

This book makes eating well easy. If everyone followed the book obesity would be gone for good.

This is an excellent book! Its food rating system gives you a nice easy way to see how healthy the food you're eating is for you! After I read through the book and looked at the ratings for some of the things I usually eat, I was surprised! I'm going to make some significant changes to my diet! Bon appetit!

I'm going to make some significant changes to my diet! I was quite surprised at the ratings on some of the food that I've been eating! This is an excellant book. It grades the nutritional value of the food you're eating and provides guidelines, based on what kind of diet you are trying to maintain on how much of a particular food, based on its grade, you should eat. It takes into consideration cholesterol, fats, salt fiber, vitamins and other factors that can effect your health.

This book should have been published eons ago. Not only have I re-evaluated my diet, it has provided me a source reference document to live by for a more healthy and productive life. Kudos to Dr. Yannios. Long live and prosper.

Deciphering labels can turn food shopping into a real hassle for many of us. Thomas Yannios, M.D. makes it easier to decide which products to purchase in The Food Report Card. Dr. Yannios has analyzed the labels of thousands of foods, and compiled his results in a simple grade of A, B, C, or D.

"You can make an enormous impact on your long-term health, and even on your appearance," Dr. Yannios writes, "if you do nothing else during your normal food shopping but select the A- and B-rated foods, and leave the C's and D's on the shelves back at the store."

Dr. Yannios believes that atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is the number one health problem for many Americans. He says that "food significantly impacts" atherosclerosis, and that we can reduce the negative impact by carefully choosing what we eat. "People are confused," Dr. Yannios says, explaining that he wrote The Food Report Card to help eliminate confusion and enable people to choose foods that are good for them.

He has grouped foods into categories, such as beverages, cereals and grains, milk and dairy products, and meats. Each food within a category is then listed in alphabetical order, such as chocolate milk and vegetable juice in the beverage section. Foods are then evaluated by brand name. For example, five brands of vegetable juice are analyzed and graded. He maintains that pattern for each food category, analyzing 12,000 foods altogether. All you have to do is look up a specific food to quickly determine whether it is an "A" food that you want to consume or a "D" food you want to avoid.

People who want to choose the healthiest processed foods, but don't want to spend a lot of time calculating nutritional values from confusing labels, will find The Food Report Card informative and helpful.

For anyone who has health issues or has loved ones with health issues, this book is a must-have. Organic Germanium is the one supplement that my family members with cancer take and this book explains why and how it works in somewhat layman terms. I have bought many copies to send out to friends who have been diagnosed with cancer or who just want to learn more about what dis-ease in the body can do to our health and how organic germanium may help mitigate the effects of the dis-ease.

I find it incredible that this book has been in print for over 10 years and people have been having success with germanium as an alternative/preventative to prescribed medicines (search the internet if you doubt my claims) yet no one else has found it worth writing about. Hmmmm...That must be because Kamen's book does the best job at explaining this compound and how it works in our bodies and why it is such an important supplement in these toxic times. [...]

More than 10 years ago my mother-in-law sought an alternative treatment called chelation. Its purpose was to use derivatives of metals to clear her arteries of the plaque that had built up in them. Now, I find another use for chelated germanium. It combats viruses, is used in the treatment of AIDS patients, can prevent some cancers as well as diminish the ravages of late-stage cancer. Originally researched/developed in Japan, Kamen gives credence to that early researcher's claims. Since it is the only book available and if you're seeking nutritional supplements to battle one of the above problems, it is worth buying.

The book is a wonderful summary of international studies on this plant-based supplement. It is a must read for those suffering from MS, CFS, Lyme disease, and other chronic illnesses - including cancer! We must applaud this author for compiling unbiased material on a supplement that has received unfounded criticism. Another good recommendation would be by Dr. David Jernigan, D.C. "Surviving Lyme Disease Using Alternative Medicine" - which also mentions Germanium.

Germanium can also be found on the market as Ge-132. As Kamen says in
her book this trace mineral can boost immune function, help to fight
viral infections, and ward off allergies and fever blisters (herpers).
It is in the family of anti-oxidants in what it does....

I have read many 'diet' books but this is my favorite!

It does NOT have filler pages with recipes...it's 146 pages are
packed full of encouraging and helpful information.

I learned from reading Jennifer Klein's book, "Getting There and Staying There" that all over-weight people have 'Defective Hunger Meters!'.....They work to tell us when we are hungry before meals BUT they become defective when it comes to telling us to STOP when we are NO LONGER HUNGRY....A trim person can go to a wedding and eat one plate of food and a piece of cake and be satisfied...But us, (me) actually would like another piece or two of cake (me..preferably a corner piece!)...I like the way the cake and rich sweet frosting tastes in my mouth....being 'Tummy Hungry' has nothing to do with it."

Although we can't fix this meter to make it work automatically; we CAN and WILL control it manually

Jennifer said: "Weight loss is not a punishment. It is a wonderful and exciting experience that will lead you to a new life."

FROM ME:
Let's go for it! And not settle for anything less than total victory. (Reaching our ideal or dream weights.) It is not a race, it is just fine and better really to get there slowly, we just need to get there.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I flew right through it. I had lost 155 pounds following a different plan and watched as some of my hard lost pounds crept back on. I had changed my lifestyle and lost the weight slowly so I began to get really frustrated with myself over losing my weight but not my obsession with food. Reading Jennifer's book made me realize that I have been doing things right by thinking long term and making the healthiest choices possible. I changed the outside but the inside may never change. I may never lose my obsession with food. I just have to learn to be at peace with myself about not always being perfect. There is no time limit on becoming healthier. She also gave plenty of helpful tips.

I laughed at some of the things I read in Jennifer's book. I kept thinking - has she been following me?

This book is well worth the read. You wont be dissappointed.

Getting There Staying There: How Looking At Weight Loss Differently Changed My Life by certified personal trainer and professional weight loss coach Jennifer Klein is the personal weight-loss success story of a woman who learned how to avoid the pitfalls of fad diets and make genuine, lasting health changes for permanent weight loss success. Nutrition specialist Jennifer Klein articulately shares her hard won wisdom for improving one's life and physical well-being making Getting There Staying There a very highly recommended guide for readers of all fitness levels and background.

I first went to see Jennifer in 1997 when I was only 12 years old. I was desperate; my weight had ballooned to almost 300 lbs (that's right, 300lbs as a seventh grader). I'll admit, although the program made perfect sense to me, I didn't have the maturity level as a twelve year old to implement Jen's teachings into my life, and I failed again and again. Jen was incredibly patient with me; I think she saw in me the power to change myself that I didn't know I had.

During the summer of 1999, I had finally had enough; summer clothes just didn't work. Not only were they tight, but I looked awful. I was interested in girls, but they weren't interested in me. And worst of all, I knew my health would be in serious jeopardy if I didn't do something. So I started really paying attention to Jen when we met for our weekly sessions, and as I began changing my lifestyle, my eating habits, my exercise habits, the weight came off.

I'm now 17 and I stand 6 feet tall and weigh 220lbs. I have achieved a level of confidence now that would only have been a pleasant dream two years ago. I'm happy with the way I look and my cholestorol and blood pressure have gone down, which are really the best effects of my weight loss.

I'll be honest with you; losing weight is possibly the toughest thing you will ever do in your life. But Jennifer has a program that actually works (!!!) and that you can live with for the rest of your life. I strongly urge you to read this book; if you're serious about a life change, and not just going on a diet (which don't work by the way, I've been on enough to tell you this, you need to change your entire way of eating and exercising) then this is definitely the book for you.

I'll be the first to admit, I was a bit intimidated to start reading another weight loss/health related book. I figured I'd be told once again I have to eat only tasteless foods worth "2 points." I'm one of those people looking for the effortless weight loss plan of eating nothing but chocolate chip cookies.

Just a few paragraphs into Getting There Staying There, I was thinking "me too." This book made me realize I'm not the only person that dreads dieting, thinking the day is ruined if I start it off with something unhealthy like a fattening muffin. Jennifer's book has taught me to understand that I can recover from any "muffin" mishaps.

I was so surprised at how much I could relate to in this book, it almost made me laugh aloud at times. More importantly, it has motivated me to start taking the first steps (once again) towards a healthy lifestyle. Only, this time I'm confident my steps will continue to move forward.

I am trying to figure out how to tell my family and friends to read it without offending them. Hopefully, with a little time they will see improvements in me, and ask about how I got 'healthier' so I can tell them I learned from reading Getting There Staying There. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Just as the previous reviews claim, this book is great. As Pressman does so well in all of his books, the information is explained clearly - for all readerships. Antioxidants in general and Glutathione in particular are our bodies' buffers to the deteriorating effects of "life". Taken as blends or individually, our bodies need them. iHerb is a site where I have found Glutathione as well as other antioxidants. My doctor recommended I add them to my daily regeime. You can find additional documentation to support Pressman's book at iHerb as well as your choice of products.

What a lovely little gem of a book! The title is almost misleading, because it by no means confines itself to a discussion of Glutathione. Rather, it's a comprehensive review of many different healthcare issues, complete with excellent nutritional and supplement recommendations. Medical conditions and biological information are explained in very clear language, and the book is blessedly free of exclamation points, those banes of the diet and health book industry.

I would recommend this book as an excellent all-around reference on the subject of nutritional healing.

This is definitely a good read if you are interested in treating yourself or someone you care about using Glutathione. It goes into a lot of detail about how it works, and I found it to be worthwhile. It talks about some other aminos that are helpful to use in conjunction with the Glutathione.

If you only buy one book in your life, let this be it

Just happened to find this title in the library. Since reading it, both my wife and I have started taking NAC-Glutathione with excellent results.

A very good explanation of why your body needs vitamins and amino acids to combat free radicals.

A life altering revelation.

It turns out I do NOT have gout, but this compendium of recipes that enables one to live with the disease would be essential in anyone's collection of cook books.

It is so hard to find information on gout. This book is well-researched, offers lots of information and the recipes are delicious and easy to fix. The bibliography alone is worth the price.

I bought Gout Hater's Cookbook I for my father, who suffers from Gout. He liked the recipes and the information so much I also bought Gout Hater's II and III. He has thanked me many times for this very helpful resource.

Received Gout Hater's Cookbook I as a gift and my wife has used the recipes and important tips for the last year. Information is provided in a concise easy to use style. We just added Gout Hater's Cookbook II and III to our kitchen reference library and we now have three times as many great recipes to use. We can't wait for Cookbook IV and hope that it includes a master index of the recipes from all versions. Thanks for making this information available to us.

This book is simply wonderful! It really helped me find and make easy-but-elegant recipes for everyday life (and even parties). My husband and I enjoyed the book so much we bought all three! Simply superb, I hope she writes more!

This is a review from my friend, Holly, an amazing bodyworker:
"Great Food, Great Sex read like a novel. I couldn't put it down! I finished it in less than 24 hours! It was enjoyable but informative all while being funny and interesting.. what a great way to be inspired by science and put it to use in real life!"

I can't wait to take "Great Food, Great Sex" with me on my honeymoon!

This book provides advanced medical information in a way that is easy to read and understand. I found the book to be quite informative and a fun read.

Contrary to that nasty reviewer from Publisher's Weekly, I found this book extremely informed, balanced, and practical. Instead of gimmicks the book outlines what to do to enhance your sex life without having to submit to some health-destroying fad program. Once you understand the science you don't need condescending (and hard to follow) meal-by-meal menus. This is a liveable, easy, and healthful approach to eating. I've tried it now for several weeks and already feel more energetic.

This is an anti-diet book: no cheap gimmicks or silly meal programs. It just offers the truth and excellent guidance.

The only thing this title, and its rich contents, is missing is the secret to how I can become a gajillionaire overnight without even trying. Outside of an amoeba, who doesn't love great food? And unless you're a Franciscan monk, I am stumped to think of one person I know that doesn't love great sex. Put 'em together, and you have one terrific recipe, baby.

Dr. Fried and Dr. Edlen-Nezin's freshman foray into the publishing arena leaves nothing desired. The book is a wonderful read, both entertaining and informative throughout. It never drags, and each page opens up new vistas to understanding of how our bodies work, the optimal fuel they need to perform, and how this formula combines to provide mind-blowing pleasures for the body and soul.

You must run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore and pay the few bucks, you cheapskate, to learn how you too can become the dynamo you've always believed you could be. My friend, you will not be disappointed. Don't believe me? Ask my family doctor. Then ask my girlfriend. They'll back up my enthusiastic claims, and that is no bologna (not recommended for a vital sex life, by the way). Of course, I know that, and you don't. So get the book, and inform thyself.

Happy eating and lovemaking.
