Book Reviews of Conscious Eating
Book Review: Often Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
Conscious Eating was required reading for me when I was studying for my Bachelors Degree in Holistic Nutrition. Up until that time I had never heard of the book or the author. How grateful I am in retrospect that this was a book I studied. The approach taken is varied and diverse. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Enzymes and the importance of maintaining a proper pH. The information in these chapters has influenced several nutritional supplement products that I have had the privilege to formulate (Enzymedica). Of special interest to me was the research the author did through his clinic on vegetarian and non vegetarian diets and the surprising results he discovered when measuring the individuals pH. It was not what I expected and so it has given me greater insight on the topic.
I always recommend this book to individuals looking for an well balanced approach to overall health.

Summary: 1 Stars
This book is a waste of time
The book starts out regurgitating Ayurvedic and Metabolic Typing theories. Both of which recognize that there are many different types of people and no one diet is good for everyone. "One mans food is another mans poison" However Mr. Cousens gets so far into his pro vegetarian propaganda that one has to conclude eating a vegetarian diet is the only way to eat. Which is contrary to the Ayurvedic and Metabolic systems that recognize each person is unique.
In this book Gabriele Cousens claims that everyone should switch to an all-vegetarian diet regardless of who are you or where you live. And in doing so you will train your body to more efficiently utilize the food you eat and also require less food since your body is more efficient in using it. Once you switch to a vegetarian diet you will enjoy more energy, rid yourself of cancer and other diseases that plague flesh eaters and become closer with the divine. Only vegetarians are able to reach a certain level with the divine, flesh eaters have no chance.
In our modern society, everyone could do with eating more vegetables, and stay away from non-organic meats, but suggesting that every single person on earth should eat only a vegetarian diet is ridiculous. If you want to hear very biased pro vegetarian propaganda then this book is for you. Otherwise save your money.

Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book on health I have ever read! It is very well researched; discusses and compares many different cultures and historical writings about health. I am completely inspired by it and re read pages from it very often for inspiration. I love the way it is written and feel passionately about what I learned from it. Conscious Eating is not only good for each of us and our health, but for our environment. It should be required reading for everyone. Dr Gabriel Cousens is brilliant and generous with his wisdom, visionary in the scope of his ideas!
I have been eating a raw food diet for 3 years now and have so much energy I feel like I can almost fly!
Book Review: Terrific and practical dietary wisdom
