Well..... after listening to this book, I think I may never touch sugar again..... Ugh!

Let's start with the reading and recording of this book.... To say that it read like a text book would be saying it kindly... The reading was very dry and borderline boring. The material was extremely technical and required me to rewind repeatedly in order to refocus and relisten to what was being said. This is a heavy book - both with the depth and scope of knowledge in multiple disciplines including medical, health, socioeconomic, and food. So prepare yourselves for an in depth dive into the world of the human body and how it functions. I would have given this book a 5-star rating if it weren't so very dryly written; otherwise, what I learned has left me speechless.

I would easily say that if you want to learn about sugar and how it impacts the human body then this is definitely the book to read or listen to. I learned more than I ever thought possible about what sugar does in the body and to the body. I must say that this book presents the facts very well with lots of historical and scientific evidence to back its points and arguments. I found the material well put together and presented. A large focus of the book was on Diabetes and its relationship with sugar and other "Western" Diseases. Since my husband was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes a year ago, the information in this book was critical and relevant to my family's needs. I learned a lot of important information that I can utilize in our home to help my husband deal with, and hopefully beat, this disease.

I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone who wants to learn about a healthier live style of eating and living. This book is especially pertinent to everyone who is currently suffering from various diseases that are classified as a "western" disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and even cancer.... this book sheds light on a lot of issues that the general public seems to be in the dark about. Ignore the dryness of the writing and read the book for the content - I believe it's priceless information.

Good Luck and Happy Reading!

As someone who has read a lot on this subject, I find this book refreshing.  This book is straight to the point.  It gives you the right amount of information to empower you to do really ingenious things with your landscape (that are not yet main stream, but should be!), while avoiding the potential for information overload.

What the author has done, is taken years of experience along with tons of knowledge, and condensed it into an easily read and understood guide.  It is also fun, with recipes giving ideas for what to do with all of the delicious food you will grow In the future.

I highly recommend it

I've read virtually every book on vegan/plant-based health and this one is one of my favorites! As the title implies, it is incredibly comprehensive. It covers every single nutrient you'll be incessantly pestered about as a vegan... Where do you get your protein? Omega 3's? B12? Iron? Zinc? Selenium?.... On and on and on... Instead of trying to dig through the sincerely questionable advice being regurgitated across the blog-o-sphere, it's so much easier to have a well-written, well-researched guide available at any time. Get this book, learn how to feed yourself, and rock on as a super healthy, long-term, successful, and knowledgable vegan!

If you want to read a book that is so enlightening you'll have to ignore everyone around you for hours and not even go to sleep because it is so incredible, than buy this book, best 10$ i ever spent!!  This is the most eye opening book i have ever had the pleasure of reading. The author of this book is HIGHLY gifted, most likely a genius of our time. There is no need to be reading science fiction for a thrill, because after reading this book you will understand that the truth of the world around you is even stranger than fiction. After reading this you understand the general direction of politics, why things are happening the way they are, the role of technology and also why technology is advancing at such an astonishingly quick pace. This book gave me a lens from which i can now view the world politically, to me that is priceless. Buy this Book!!

Wow..this book is a "10".  I was skeptical at first BUT the author nails it.  I have read MANY relationship books BUT this one is the BEST by far in my opinion and I will be recommending it to all my girlfriends....even the ones who aren't single.  I have been happily married for 20 years to a great guy and can you tell you without a doubt that everything the author says is 100% correct.  I especially love how the author cuts through all the BS and gets straight to the core of the matter regarding men, sex, losers, users, dating, self-esteem, love, and pregnancy.  Ladies if you want to empower yourselves please read this book and take it to HEART!

Everyone should read this book. With the host of ailments plaguing people nowadays, our greatest  alli is knowledge from reputable sources, that is key. The information presented in this book is responsibly sourced and based on scientific studies not funded by bias organizations. I'm constantly quoting the book to others in hopes that they'll make positive changes now that clear evidence is available. It's the best thing you can do for yourself, your health, and our environment. I'm doing it to live longer, healthier, and in response to the detrimental effects of over farming and mistreatment of animals. We need to give back to the planet and we can do that by changing the way we eat. Our dollar is our vote. I also purchased the cookbook, and have been completely delighted by my new food choices, and haven't regretted a thing. People are in shock, having been a former mega carnivore and dairy consumer for my entire life. It's never too late to reverse bad habits, and the improvement in your whole being is undeniable. If you're interested in weightloss, that absolutely will happen. You'll feel stronger and more focused, and the need for naps are a thing of the past. My two and four year old eat the same way I do and I know that I am doing the absolute best for them that I can by feeding them plant based diets. Their tastes have changed (very quickly) and they are completely into green smoothies and all vegetables. There are no excuses when it comes to nutrition for children, do it for them, do it for yourself, and do it for the people waiting on the wing, curious about your new lifestyle. You'll inspire many and thats what brings about change. I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop now, read the book, it's easy, and you don't have to have a doctorate to understand the science behind the research. He's extremely clear about the proper way to improve your health. If your reading this, then you are already headed in a positive direction, good for you!

This is an amazing book! At first I was really surprised by how many bad reviews it got, then I had to remember that not everyone works in a nutritionist office and what I have been exposed to as far as a healthy diet is not what the mainstream thinks. This book explains it all. Touches on everything you really need to know, quickly.. hits you with the most important facts and moves right along. The language is vulgar ( Im 30, i certainty don't care or mind) but obviously I want to give this book to everyone I know... and the language could put some people off or ruffle some feathers. I think thats the point though. This makes people get with it.... gives you the facts to be healthy and make informed choices while not depriving yourself of anything! Its a win win!  Read it all the way through.. I think its very positive and the beginner's book for a real life change and a brand new path! As far as just weight loss shedding weight but don't feel deprived at all. This book gives you a month of meal plans but leaves a lot up to you and encourages you to take a step at a time and day by day. And thats why I have been able to be on this "diet" for so long. Its a lifestyle and teaches you why and how to make well informed decisions on what you eat. get over the language and READ IT with an open mind!!!

This is undoubtedly the best health and fitness book that I have ever read.  Samir addresses all the components (body, mind, spirit) of well being in a uniquely balanced and insightful way.  His generous use of references and historical facts makes it clear that he has extensively researched subject matter, yet he smartly presents it in an incredibly practical and easy-to-follow style.  He passionately educates, motivates and guides us simultaneously.  I truly believe that this book can transform anyone's life who reads and follows it.

Absolutely the best pregnancy book I read.

- modern and nonjudgemental, with a sense of humor
- candid, practical, relevant information and pointers to further info
- presents varied perspectives, attitudes, and advice
- well organized into three parts (preg, birth, post), with great subsections such as The Endless No and Bodily Byproducts of Birth

I especially loved the 10 Anti-Rules at the beginning, and the bubbles with real people's comments, as both encouraged me to look to myself for guidance and not just follow what books (or anyone else) says. In particular, this idea that "the best way is whatever works for you."

I read a lot of books - 100+ a year, every year since 1989. I have read a ton of philosophy and "Self-Help" books -- many are excellent - but this is the best.

Tom Morris does a superb job of writing a fun, enjoyable - and life-changing book. His seven C's are absolutely spot-on. I have read this book cover-to-cover five times - and I enjoy it more, and get more from it every time. If you are only going to read one "how to live your life" book - this is the ONE. I assure you that this is a truly wonderful and incredibly helpful book.

Dear fellow readers,

I am a REAL person using my real name here! And nope, I am not affiliated with The Healing Codes!

As a hobby I've read at least several hundreds of different books (very likely an understatement) and probably spent over a 100K on seminars (healing, quantum physics, marketing, business & relationships, just to name a few) because I like to learn something new every day.

That thirst of knowledge has lead me to all kind of different healing systems and I also happen to be certified in a few of these diverse techniques. However this is not about me, but about the Healing Codes, so I won't get into any details here.

Like I said, having a broad knowledge about quantum physics, energy healing, about the human brain and mind, about cells and DNA, and also about many different cultures and societies throughout history allows me to be very open-minded towards anything that comes my way.

Last year I came across the Healing Codes and I knew immediately that I must check them out for myself because of what I've heard on a tele seminar with Dr. Alex Lloyd as a guest speaker. It simply blew the lid off my mind.

So I got the book and all I can say is that it is an absolutely amazing book. It has such a wealth of information and it's written in a manner that any person should understand it.

Keep in mind this book is right up "my alley", so I knew most of the information already (besides the codes) ans all I can say is this: "Everything in this book from the ancient wisdom to the newest discoveries in science can be easily verified if you happen to have doubts."

Even the codes themselves and why they work could be just a easily studied and verified, but there's no need for that because it's all in the book. There's a reason why the codes are explained only towards the end and why there's so much information given to the reader before the codes are shown.

Would you allow your kids to drive a car before they have at least some understanding of what they are doing? Yes, it could work, so for those of you who don't like to study before they drive, go ahead and do the codes, you STILL will benefit and they still will work for you!

I am using the codes with great results on myself and others and I also combined them with other healing modalities and the codes improve whatever I am doing.

This book and the Healing Codes are a work of passion and love and if you can't "feel" that while you're reading it you need the code more than you might think.

I don't typically like reading books about child rearing or bearing because it seems to be a bunch of jumbled information shoved in your face by "professionals". This was anything but that! I could NOT put it down. It was incredibly informative without bashing any woman and her particular choice for birthing. I felt so empowered reading this book, not only because of the wonderful stories told but because of the important information which Ina May shares. Knowledge is power! I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this book, and pleasantly surprised at how amazing it is. A great book whether you are pregnant, planning to be soon, or just planning for the future.

After reading this book from cover to cover, I can say that the information is so comprehensive, filled with information on every possible vitamin, mineral, grain, etc. that you may need to support and enhance your health based on whatever health condition you may be facing, or in my case, just wanting the greatest health possible.

This book had a genuine impact on my life. After reading it, there is not a chance that I will consume anything that is not organic. No more sprayed pesticides that are in the soil, that grows the plants, or antibiotic and hormone fed animals that literally destroy our health.

No matter what ailment you may have, it is covered in alphabetical order, along with a comprehensive list of what you can take, and what you should avoid, which is very helpful when one vitamin or mineral can counteract another. There are great recommendations, other resources, and this book always suggests that you consult with your health practitioner in addition to the suggestions given. It clearly states that this is not a "cure" however, I have found that since reading it and implementing the suggestions, I feel a lot more energy, and `diet' has now become a healthy eating routine, filled with nourishment.

The book is something that can only add benefit to your life, and one that you can consult at any time over the years to achieve the greatest health possible.

I just have to recommend this awesome book about Christianity that will make your hair curl!  I should start out by saying that I rarely have time for books and I can honestly say that over the past 10 years or so there have been just three books that have really 'lit my candle', but this one I can barely put down.

"I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" presents an amazing sequence of facts that lead you through the following (and more)...

-  Truth about reality is knowable
-  The opposite of true is false - you can't have two truths that contradict
-  Is it true that the theistic God exists (talking about the beginning of the universe, the design of the universe, the design of life, and moral law)
-  If God exists, miracles are possible
-  Miracles can be used as messages from God
-  The New Testament is historically reliable
-  The New Testament says Jesus claimed to be God
-  Jesus' claim to be God was miraculously confirmed
-  Therefore Jesus is God
-  Whatever Jesus (God) teaches is true
-  Jesus taught that the Bible is the word of God
-  Therefore it's true that the Bible is the Word of God and anything opposed to it is false

A friend lent this book to me, and I liked it so much that I bought more copies.  I've used some of the illustrations, arguments and thoughts in the book to help guide my three kids as they are bombarded with secular nonsense (especially evolution) at school and not only that by it's an awesome and fascinating read.  Plus it's only $10 on Amazon!!  It's a no-brainer... go get it... it will strengthen your faith and much, much more!

I LOVE this book - it's so refreshing to learn the truth about food, our bodies, and how they REALLY work together.
I started dieting in my teens and have lived through several "Yo-Yos" - weights, diets, beliefs regarding which foods were "good" and "bad", etc.
It has been a confusing, frustrating, and many times, discouraging ride.

But this book is full of surprising, yet sound science that turns many old assumptions on their heads.
For instance, for many years, no one knew that "Fat is your Friend" -  (This is one of the chapter titles.) And that the TYPES of calories we eat will ultimately determine HOW MANY calories we eat. (Try a bagel in the morning vs. an omelet in the morning and see what happens!)

It may sound like a lot to take in, but the author Susan Spear does a great job of breaking down the nitty-gritty so you can understand the "why" behind the science of food.

And I love the fact that there is no hidden agenda of following a specific diet. Just knowledge of true nutrition principles.

This book has given me hope - hope that I can feed my body what it needs to function at its peak, and how I can maintain my ideal weight.
It's compelling to read - using provocative but sound Science.

Food is a fundamental part of life - there's no escaping this fact. And with this book I feel much more prepared to navigate different areas - the super market, my pantry, the restaurant menu, all those labels with confusing claims. The author helps set the record straight about all of them, and uses several interesting scientific studies to back up her claims.

Basically, this book is about busting myths throughout the ages with solid science. I recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight, or maintain a healthier weight, or understand how food affects hormones and weight loss/gain (ladies!), or anyone who just plain wants to feel better. Awesome book!!!!

Mr. Grunder's book is very informative, personal and most importantly helpful. The methods work..I am living proof.  I have followed  the steps offered in this book and I have read this book twice already and have drawn inspiration every time I read it -that I carry it with me everyday to recharge my batteries.
It's not one of your typical self help book that you have read before-Folks this one hits the target every time.
I urge anyone who owns their own business or is kicking around the idea to start one a very simple step BUY THIS BOOK! I cannot
wait for the audio to accompany this book!
