Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual
by Michael Pollan
Amazon Price: $5.00


Customer Review: This book/pamphlet is a great summary of points Michael Pollan makes in his previous books. For the most part it has one piece of advice per page, sometimes with a an explanation of the reasoning when necessary. It’s perfect for people who need dietary advice, and who don’t have time to read an enti…

 

Change Your Brain, Change Your Body: Use Your Brain to Get and Keep the Body …
by Daniel G. Amen M.D.
Amazon Price: $14.29


Customer Review: (See my other review under CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR LIFE). I wanted to believe in Dr. Amen. He was smart, he was funny, and everything he said seemed to make sense. Moreover, his lecture was being broadcast on PBS, so he had to be legitimate, right? I was disillusioned when I went to his webs…

 

The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the…
by Alicia Silverstone
Amazon Price: $16.50


Customer Review: I was charged by Treetea for this book that never arrived.

Never received a response to my inquiries.

I filed a claim (I think) and still haven’t heard a word from anyone regarding this.

Be very careful when buying things.

Very sad and disappointing experience.

 

The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life
by Ben Sherwood
Amazon Price: $8.99


Customer Review: This book really touched my soul. The stories that illustrated each type of survivor really brought joy to my heart; they were just awe-inspiring. I found it amazing that I could go on-line and take the survivor’s test to see what kind of survivor I am. In addition, this book provided examples of…

 

Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven …
by Neal D. Barnard M.D.
Amazon Price: $9.35


Customer Review: The title of this book can tend to be a bit misleading, but it at least misleads in the right direction. The entire “program” can be completely summed up in two words: vegan diet. Other than recommending the daily use of a multivitamin, keeping your diet free of all animal products (meat, eggs, milk…

 

World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
by Will Tuttle
Amazon Price: $14.40


Customer Review: The World Peace Diet by Dr. Will Tuttle is the most thorough book ever written on the lifestyle and food choices humans make on a daily basis. He gives incredible, well-researched details about the food systems we have created in the U.S. and around the world and how these impact negatively on human…

 

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto
by Michael Pollan
Amazon Price: $9.00


Customer Review: This book to me is saying, just because somethings are considered everyday normal, cool, acceptable, fine, that’s good, and so on that we are all stuck in this whirlpool of status quo. Look this book might not be perfect, but it’s good, it’s concise and logical. I’ve read other books related to the …

 

New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling G…
by Eric C. Westman, Stephen D. Phinney, Jeff S. Volek
Amazon Price: $9.36


Customer Review: Although the authors of this book certainly promote a message that they believe is scientifically valid and useful and although a very large number of people agree with them, I take exception, for several reasons. With minor exceptions this book represents nothing more than an extension of the argum…

 

The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
Amazon Price: $9.12


Customer Review: For me, there is no greater praise for a book. I’m 3/4 through the book now, and already, it has challenged my views on food, farming, markets, and the US. And I kinda want to be a “grass farmer.”

 

The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram your genes for effortless weight loss, vibran…
by Mark Sisson
Amazon Price: $14.84


Customer Review: This book argues persuasively that we can look and feel much better by living a more primal lifestyle — in particular by eating and exercising more the way that our paleolithic ancestors did.

I’ve been trying out Mark’s recommendations for about a month now, and so far so good. I wasn…
