"Reasonable concept, inedible recipes"
2009-05-24
- Reviewed By User: A1XRKI9U97XVT8
The general concept behind this book is probably sound but one needs to adapt the concept to your personal lifestyle. While I'm no expert on diets, though I have managed to come up with a system that works for me, I have learned that for a diet to work you have to be able to stay on it forever. It needs to be a reasonable modification of habits and not just some strange 4 week plan.
That being said, some of the recipes in this book would make Hannibal Lecter throw up. So far I've carefully tried about a dozen and I have to say only a few even come up to mediocre. The Vegetable Gumbo on page 238 looks very much like the bottom of a swamp but without the flavor. Surprisingly this recipe has most of my favorite vegetables in it which begs the question as to why it's so ghastly.
On page 237 you'll find what purports to be Sweet and Sour Stuffed Cabbage. Arguably one of my favorite dinners. First of all 1 cup of brown sugar makes this taste more like candied cabbage than sweet and sour. Even with adding more lemon juice this just doesn't work.
These are not recipes to serve to guests unless you're the cook for a maximum security prison, however, if you take your own favorite recipes and substitute vegetables for meat, you might be able to accomplish the idea.

"Eat more, Weigh Less"

Well written easy to understand and it is working for me. A last a diet plan that does not require anything other than making choices.
I'm always surprised to find people suggesting a healthy, plant-based diet is "a bit drastic" -- personally I find bypass surgery or chemotherapy to be a bit drastic. Eating healthy is natural and normal, or should be, it's just that most of us have gotten used to the unhealthy foods that makeup the standard American diet, so it only seems like eating healthy is drastic. You really do retrain your taste buds in a relatively short time. It was so much easier to switch than I ever thought it would be. I'm an American living in Australia, and I've been vegan for nearly a year and a half now -- I would never go back!
"Sadly Disapointed"

I was actually VERY excited to see this book at a discount bookstore the other day since I've just started a new diet and I know its a popular book. When I started reading, I enjoyed it and was inspired by his seemingly well done research.
I started with the back and the recipes so I could get more healthy dinner ideas. Personally, I liked many of the recipe ideas. I love to cook and personally have no issues finding saffron or other unusual ingredients but I should warn potential buyers that if you don't have a high-end budget and/or a fancy foods market near you, it could be hard to locate some items in the recipes. By the end of this section, it started to go downhill though. Cause I realized that there are NO meat recipes. Its all vegetarian.
Besides my personal disinterest in a vegetarian diet for food reasons, I'm concerned about how he overlooks the nutritive value of some foods and some of his claims.
- He seems to feel that iron is ONLY bad, which is not true! I'm prone to anemia, and if someone else was too, I would think this diet would set them up for it.
- He ignores Omega-3's that you can get through fish which have many beneficial effects.
- He ignores that certain TYPES of fat have been shown to help people lose weight by feeling fuller and more satisfied [fish, nuts, avocados.]
- Where are you going to get your Vitamin B12?
I think this diet could definitely work for some people, but overall I feel its much more extreme than it needs to be. People have can have extreme diet changes and weight loss success with eating a bit more fat from quality sources such as nuts and fish.
Interestingly, he talks about how people used to eat small amounts of meat and had less health problems, so why can't we do that now? Its certainly much more well rounded and attainable...
Bottom line: If you want a good book to tell you how to eat a vegetarian diet, this is a great one and has good recipes, but talk to your doctor to make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need.
"Fixed my gallbladder dysfunction"
2008-02-08
- Reviewed By User: A3M4BNLDJUHTN0
I had my gallbladder removed and still had spasms and cramps in my right side after it was removed (bile ducts). Following the Ornish Program (except I cut out dairy altogether) has completely fixed the problem and I no longer have spasms and cramps in my right side. This book, and simply changing my diet, saved me from having to take medication the rest of my life (I was 27 when my gallbladder was removed). The other benefits are that I lost weight (BMI = 19) and my skin looks absolutely amazing!
