Loved it, I would highly reccomend, the book was very informative, and easy to follow

Awareness 101...

Jordan Rubin's entire library has me fascinated right now. He touched me with his concern for my health that goes beyond the compensation he receives for his work. He found a way to increase my awareness of how to "eat to live" rather that "living to eat." I grew up in a family where we would discuss our next meal while eating the current meal. My entire family is composed of gourmet cooks. Food had a place on the pedestal in our home just below God. Jordan has a way of getting me to focus on other things besides food. For example, I spent more time doing his "personal hygiene" gig in the morning before breakfast rather than going straight to the kitchen after my quiet time. Even though it only takes a few minutes to clean my fingernails, face, etc., it gets my mind off breakfast and makes it seem less important. The Perfect Weight Journal has the same effect. It makes me acutely aware of my total daily input. I even learned I was practically eating a complete meal as I was over-tasting the food I was preparing for dinner. I like my new awareness the Perfect Weight Journal gives me of what goes into my mouth and how it is affecting my health and wellness. I set goals according to Jordan's advice and the journal helps me keep them. Of course, I had to discipline myself to fill in the journal, which is another way Jordan makes me keenly aware of my eating habits. It is good stuff if you are serious about turning your warehouse into a temple.

Excellent!

This was an excellent book. Our family has changed our diet and the result has changed our life. We are healthier and have a lot more energy. We were eating processed and prepackaged foods and didn't realize the effect it had on our bodies. We are gradually eliminating toxins from our life. We still use the book as a resource even after finished reading. We have joined Perfect Weight America online and the food and receipes are great.

perfect weight america my personal story

The Perfect Weight America Program is a true god send. I know because I won the 16 week Perfect Weight America Program which started in Delray Beach Florida this past june. I was skeptical at first, but I tried the products, and whole food recomendations and stayed focused and on course. In june 2007 I was weighing 240# 5' 7 1/2 inches tall with a 44" waist , (I am an oil field worker in the Gulf of Mexico), by november 2007 I weighed 190#'s with a 36" waist when i completed the 16 week program. Sure, I could have found excuses ,complained and got off course, but my wife stood by me, and Jordan Rubin and the Biblical Health Institue helped me along the way. Today february 2008, I weigh 192#s with a 34" waist and I am very healthy at 54 years young. I have literally rebuilt my body with whole food and whole food supplements, I am off blood pressure and cholesterol medications. Every day I plan my meals with the lessons learned from the Perfect Weight America Program. Jordan Rubin is a Dedicated Coach who walks the walk and talks the talk. His program does not send you pre-packaged and chemically processed foods to your door step. His program advocates awarness, choosing organic, whole foods, and whole food supplemts along with exercise, and all three of these key items work together. You have to ask your self what is your health worth, Jordan Rubin reminded me, I had taken too many things for granted for too long, and I am grateful to the Biblical Health Institue and Jordan Rubin for being there when I needed them.

It's all about sustainability and health.

I was introduced to this book by a friend whose husband's life was saved after reading The Maker's Diet. She's my friend who eats organic and shops at farmer's markets. Since skimming the book, I've changed my life to do more of the same. Mr. Rubin is all about taking care of the whole self, including family eating, better habits, eating foods that promote health INSTEAD OF DIETING. While the recipes can be hard to follow if you don't have access to a Whole Foods store nearby, the concept is to understand how to eat, not only eating leafy foods. I'm a fan because of his focus on going "green" and eating organic foods. It's been a helpful guide for me, but I've also given my copy to my parents so that they can follow his principles. I'd encourage readers to try it. It's not so much a diet, but a healthy way of life.
