It's a good book

The Optimum Nutricion Bible is a good book. It explains all the nutrients you should eat to be healthy and in witch proportions you must consume them. I advise anyone who wants to learn how to eat well, in a healty way, to buy it! Caracolinha

Concrete Improvement

I don't typically like self-help books, find them exploitative of our fears, but this one is unusual. Following the author's suggestions, I lost the morning puffiness under my eyes, improved my mental acuity, (no more tip-of-the-tougne syndrome)and lost weight. These are all concrete differences not subjuct to conjecture.What more could anyone ask?

You best buy this book if you value for life!

You won't need another book on nutrition. This was my best investment for the year - a total guide to everything you need to know about eating properly. I have already started reaping the benefits of a healthier lifestyle - more energy, less stress, beautiful glowing skin. This is totally essential reading.

At last a guru who does the leg work.

I've read dozens of food/lifestyle/vitamin/excercise/selfhelp books. The marvellous thing about this book is that it all comes together at last. The author explains so clearly with great diagnostic skills. Very helpful and very useful. A bible indeed.

Read, digest and feel better than ever before!

Having read this book from cover to cover, and now using it as a reference, it provides invaluable information about how to live a dramatically healthier life than you're used to.This book does not just tell you what to eat, but why you should eat it. Consider what the human race ate before the chemical age, before processed foods and our taste buds were subjected to the sugar full foods of the 20th century.This book explains why eating fresh (unprocessed) foods, preferably organic; taking vitamin and mineral supplements; eating the correct fats and cutting out unnecessary stimulates such as caffiene can make such a huge difference.Having changed my eating habits and also, having started taking vitamins and mineral supplements, I can honestly say that the effect has been better than I ever expected.I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Take the plunge, you may surprise yourself.
