Book Reviews of The Sunfood Diet Success System
Book Review: Fiction Not Fact
Summary: 1 Stars
Here is a book of a man's opinions and philosophy on diet, lifestyle and even evolution. It is his personal outline of how to become a sort of super human. Much of it is simply fiction that is not supported with studies, trials or data.
I decided to experiment and followed his diet for 6 months, all the time waiting for the magic to happen. All that happened was I lost loads of weight to the point I looked like I had an eating disorder (which in a way I did), and I had continual loose stools from the huge amount of plant matter I was consuming. My body temperature dropped from being normal at around 36.8 Celsius to around 35.5 Celsius (not far above hypothermia with the possibility of of heart irritability)... I could go on.
Apparently you go through a detox, lose loads of weight, and then put the weight back on and become all healthy. Well the weight wasn't coming back, and the exuberant promised energy was forever elusive, and I was fed-up organising and obsessing over food. People never any longer commented that I looked well, but did point out how thin I became. So I stopped. It has taken 3 months to recover from it.
So I conclude it doesn't work for me. I think raw foodists often feel better in comparison to their previous lifestyles and benefit from eliminating processed foods, cereal grains and dairy from their diets. You can survive on a raw diet, but in my opinion, not thrive. For me the best advice I have got is from reading books like: The True You Diet by Dr John Briffa; The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain PhD; and The Protein Power Life Plan by Michael R Eades MD and Mary Dan Eades MD. However I would endorse going vegan and raw for a few days once in a while if you wanted to give your guts a good scrubbing and save on colonic hydrotherapy.
There are some great and creative recipes to be learned from raw vegans, but beware the likes of David Wolfe, in this book he says that he aims to become a "liquidarian" or in other words eat 100% raw, vegan, liquidised meals, and that " I prefer to eat alone, standing up, in a meditational state, listening to success tapes or reading books'.
