Book Reviews of Eating for Beauty
Book Review: Fantastic book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is full of great information which is easy to understand and apply. Super foods are where its at if you want internal health and beauty that shines through. People often tell me I have a glow about me. :-)Book Review: Great info
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book, It has some great info that other raw-food lifestyle books don't touch on quite as much (such as the importance of specific minerals in the diet). It was nice to learn about the "beautifying" minerals and what they do, and then there's also a section that lists and describes the specific foods that contain these minerals. Good buy!Book Review: Incredible Information!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am into natural health. I had a friend share with me the book and I had to purchase it immediately. I have enjoyed the beautiful pictures and the written word -- everything is of great value.Book Review: Inspiring intro to benefits of raw foods; not just about "beauty"
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost didn't read this book, which was on a friend's coffee table, because I was a little turned off by the title, which to me seemed to imply a focus on appearance. But while the book does point out the physically beautifying properties of the many food ingredients covered, it's not the main focus. What I found instead was a very thoughtful, thorough, and even inspiring explication of how diet affects our well-being, along with a practical and appealing guide for introducing and appreciating many healthful raw foods into our diet.
While the book shows the occasional rough edge (one chapter ends in mid-sentence at the bottom of a page), this is minor compared to the wealth of useful, appealingly-presented information included. A few, very helpful tables and graphs help illustrate important principles, and an entire section details a long list of the most healthy and important individual foods, where each is given its own mini-chapter, covering everything from the food's history, proper selection, preparation, combining, health benefits, and even the occasional tips for wild harvesting. A few background and more philosophical chapters bring the vision together, and there's even a nice selection of raw recipes. The thoroughness and thoughtfulness displayed throughout are impressive, and the author's passion for and knowledge about his subject are inspiring and infectious.
The writing is generally very clear and simple, written in a friendly, easy first-person style. There are a few, fairly innocuous plugs for the author's line of superfood supplements, but I was surprised by how quickly I warmed to his clear, simple message, and found myself eager to adopt some of the principles that he makes so attractive through his loving and well-constructed presentation. I now have my own copy, and am lending it to others to help them understand why I am changing my diet.
So happy I found this book! Thank you, David Wolfe.
Book Review: Kind of confusing..kind of informing..
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is strange..It attempts to show you how eating certain foods increase beauty..but it left me confused. Maybe because I knew very little about his ideology and way of speaking. I wouldnt call this book strait forward. If you know this author and like him, you will most likely like this book. If your new to him like me..I would look for something else.
