1 a beautiful, fantastic book!
This book is exceptionally well written. The author/s are as clear as a bell, and very fact oriented. They update hay and sheltons outdated theories with current understanding of human anatomy and physiology. On top of that, it is gorgeous to look at, a big book loaded with professional (often contemporary-especially the recipe pics) color photographs. It is selling for $15, it probably cost more to print it! I recommend it very highly!
The only discrepancy is that the one that shipped to me has a different cover than the one pictured, expect to get an artistic close up of a lemon or something. It is not a big thing I actually prefer the one I received to the one amazon has a picture of.
2 a real bible for a healthier life
This book is perfect if you are looking for a book that promotes healthy food. No protein powders, diet pills, supplements, but just clean fresh food. The author explaines really well how the digestive system is working, all beautifully illustrated.
Montignac's system in fact was based on the food combining principles.
The book includes a vast amount of recipes and lots of practical quideliness for a healthy lifestyle.
This book is not about a diet, a quick fix to loose weight, but a complete change of lifestyle. Gradually i became convinced this is the way to go. I feel much more energetic since i started following the principles explained in the book. The fact that this book is not followed by a lawine of special marketed products you should buy, tells you that this is a genuine attempt to advocate a healthier lifestyle.
3 It's careless!!
Lots of colour pictures, nice layout etc make this book easy on the eye. But they've made such a 'negligent error' that you should think twice before buying. The whole idea about food combinations is represented by a diagram on pg 45 which uses arrows to show the foods you can and cannot combine. The problem is THEY'VE MISSED OUT HALF OF THE ARROWS!! It's just silly. OK you can piece together the rest of the diagram if you read the book but, hey come on, we're paying money for this.
4 food combining bible
This is a wonderful book and I love the recipes. This book along with exercise has lowed my blood pressure. I wish I had read it along time ago. It has opened up a new world for me. Thank you Jan and Inge Dries.
