Book Reviews of The Maker's Diet
Book Review: A Common-Sense Approach to Health
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, some answers that make sense! This book brings the full spectrum of hope, a common-sense approach to food, knowledge of what our bodies need, what foods to avoid and why, what foods to eat and why, how our bodies handle various foods, and how to prepare these wholesome foods so that our bodies can benefit from them...all this has been put into this one power-packed book, including recipes!
I've struggled with weight gain for my entire adult life! All females in my family's branches are overweight, most of them obese, so I've always believed I was just 'destined to be fat', yet I've fought that label and that condition my whole life. I've read many health books, followed a few diet programs (many were just too 'out there' for me to even buy into)and done much research to find out what is right and good for our bodies. One book said the answer was in pushing yourself away from the table, or calorie reduction. Wrong. I used to joke that I could gain weight from an onion peel! I tried a carbohydrate reducing diet with great...temporary(!) results. Another book said that exercise is the key; by simply exercising, one can loose weight. Wrong. I've always been a very active, hard-working person and increasing my physical exercise did nothing at all to eliminate the fat from my frame. I found a book that said I could get thin by breathing right, another said drinking lots of water would take care of the extra fat. Wrong. Although there was truth in every one of these concepts, none of them contained the answer...even in combination, something was still missing!
My health continued to deteriorate; when I bought the book, "The Maker's Diet" by Jordan S. Rubin, I was 70 pounds overweight and pre-diabetic with high cholesterol. I'm only in my mid-50's.
I've read the hype about low saturated fat diets (and even bought into the concept with no enhancement to my health) I kept remembering that our ancestors only 2 generations from mine, for the most part, did not have to deal with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity or any of the other diseases that are debilitating our health and peace of mind today, and I wondered about that! What was the difference?
I think you'll find, as I did, the answer in the pages of this excellent book!
I've been reading it for only 2 weeks, and so far I've put just a few of the concepts into my diet; already I've lost 7 pounds that I wasn't attempting to loose, without even knowing I'd lost them. Eating the right foods for our bodies brings our bodies into balance, naturally.
I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for health answers!
