Comprehensive

This is the best comprehensive book I've read on becoming healthy (and I've researched 'becoming healthy' extensively). It's written for the average person who wants to avoid prevalent diseases of the US (overweight, cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis...). It's easy to understand what you need to do and the effects are long-term. Best of all it doesn't take a denial approach to eating.The reading goes quickly even though repetitive sometimes. The information is up to date and is what your doctor should be telling you!Note: This book isn't as much for people who want to be 100% healthy, as it targets a broud range of people. If your goal is to be 100% healthy, I'd recommend looking for literature on raw or living foods, juicing, and colon care.

Balance Your Body, Balance Your LifeTotal Health Rejuvenatio

A well written, motivating book. Dr. Taub takes the food,diet, and exercise corporations to the mat. Dr. Taub educates us on the corporate grooming of our nutritional needs.This is a scientific, truthful look at the myths surrounding how and what we eat. You will never look at milk the same way again. Good education on why and how our bodies function. Excellent suggestions for creating healthy habits. Easy to read, tough to put down. I've been following his suggestions for three weeks and felt better about my health in one. This is a book for life.

THE MOST REMARKABLE BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!

This book was one of the most amazing books I've ever read. It has really changed my life. I will never think of food in the same way again. Thank you for such wonderful insight. This book is a must read for everyone.

Most honest, best researched book on permanent weight loss

"Balance Your Body, Balance Your Life" is simply the most honest and best researched book on permanent weight loss that has ever been written! The author, an esteemed medical doctor and wellness pioneer takes the idea of dieting away from the fad market and places it firmly in our own hands with plenty of scientifcally based easy-to-follow guidelines. As a registered physical therapist, I see an astonishing number of chronic health problems related to being overweight including shortness of breath, chronic fatigue, backache, neckache, headache, arthritis, (especially of the hips and knees), varicose veins.. and even worse.. strokes, heart attacks, and cancer. All of these patients can benefit from Dr. Taub's book. Dr. Taub clearly explains how a faulty food mindset, which makes permanent weight loss so difficult, evolves from infancy. Questionaires help identify specific nutritional/lifestyle problems. Psychological and journaling exercises build a bridge to a new healthy attitude toward permanent health. As a pediatrician, Dr. Taub provides essential reading for anyone who wants to establish life-long health habits for their children. Anyone who follows these guidelines to help their children cannot help but benefit themselves. I bought this book because of the Kirkus Associates Review on this site, which said that this medical doctor's advice is "absolutely sound, and he isn't afraid to stand firm on unpopular positions or take on the misleading food marketing giants". Dr. Taub helps us set very realistic goals that result in weight-loss success year after year rather than promising fantastic results in days. This common-sense approach takes the deprivation out of dieting by providing such sound nutrional principles accompanied by delcious, healthy recipes, that we can actually eat less and feel more nourished. The fact that the author has been a family doctor for 35 years shines through in the simplicity and practicality of this gem of a book, and I believe that just reading it will inspire people to lose wieght forever...and it could save their lives.

A Textbook For Nutrition And Health For The 21st Century.

With all of the complicated, controversial and misleading information that has been written on this subject, it is a pleasure to read such a profoundly simple, complete and common sense approach to weight management. Dr. Taub's writing style makes it an easy read that is full of life enhancing information. Dr. Taub states in his book that "Your thoughts are the driving force behind what you eat". Reading this book will change your thinking. 'Balance Your Body, Balance Your Life' is a must read for all who struggle with weight control. Thank you, Dr. Taub, for providing such a sensible and scientifically sound book that I can enthusiastically recommend. Dr. John H. Sklare/The Inner Diet
