Excellent

I would recommend this book to everyone. Very instructive, I cannot believe I am actually loosing weight eating nuts! Incredible!

EXCELLENT reference book, needed in every home!

My step-daughter recently asked me to recommend "a book" on nutrition etc. I could not provide her with "one book" that I thought would help, until that is, I got my copy of Gillian McKeith's FOOD BIBLE. Easy to read and understand this book really is something every home should have.

Praying for good health? Gillian McKeith's Food Bible helps too!

Each of us has health concerns, although some might not be willing to admit it. In my family, the concern is diabetes . . . it can be traced all the way back to my great, great grandfather. My grandpa, my dad, his two brothers and my sister were unlucky enough to be afflicted by this disease, a disease which frequently damages each and every one of our major organs. My grandpa often had just ice cream or pancakes for dinner, and died at only 55 of a heart attack. Perhaps a better diet could have extended his life. Gillian McKeith has presented a comprehensive, factual, and useful manual on food, food which helps determine whether we acquire diseases and conditions such as diabetes and obesity. I am sure each and every one of you has a disease to which you may be genetically predisposed, and if you're wise you'll try to do something about it before it is too late. You will find each of the four sections of this book to be quite helpful in your quest for prevention and cures simply through careful selection of the foods you eat. Whatever your concern, from acne to Alzheimer's, or breast cancer to bronchitis, you'll find tools to help. Buy this book for you and anyone you care about. Eating right is our most controllable factor to achieve good health. Lynette Fleming, Coauthor of Lunch Buddies Buddy Up for a Better Diet

Everyone should have this book!

I don't know how this book hasn't been in my life earlier, but I am so grateful it is now. You can read the whole thing or just flip through it. I enjoy discussing issues with my friends and looking through "The Food Bible" to help them get through their issues. The first part is explanation of nutrition and the second half is all broken up into sections of food to cure what ails you. You can look up Hangovers to Anxiety and it will tell you what you should avoid eating and what you should be eating with some recipes as well. I love Gillian and am so grateful for her passion to improve our lifestyles.

Best of it's kind ...

For me, Gillian McKeith's take on what eating the right foods, the right combinations of foods can do to improve every aspect of your health is better than other books of it's kind that I have found before. I've been to her web site, done her profile questionaire, received her,specific to me advise and have done the detox eating plan she laid out for me. In 2 weeks time I felt 10 years younger. It is now 8 weeks later and with little effort other than combining the right foods I am 25 pounds lighter, I have all the energy one could need and now I feel 25 years younger. When you are more than half a century old, that is saying something.
