I injured my back and it took almost two months to get better, during which time I gained weight through inactivity. I needed to find something wich would give me back some flexibility without straining my back and triggering the injury again. This book is perfect. It's aimed at strengthening the muscles without bulking up, and does so in a way that works the body without causing strain. The exercises made me feel strong and flexible again and the best part is that as you get fitter you can stretch more into the positions and feel like you're achieving even more, so it's not an inert programme that will only take you so far. This is a programme that will help you regain fitness that you've lost, or improve your current fitness. This book ... Read More:

Food and Drink : The South Beach Diet: A Doctor's Plan for Fast and Lasting Weight Loss
This is an excellent diet plan, and really does work. I have just started it myself and lost 3 kg in the first week, with minimal modifications to my lifestyle.

What I really like about this diet is that for the first 2 weeks my wife is cooking bacon & eggs for me for breakfast each day, and I am losing weight while eating this! Great salads for lunch, stir-fry or salad for tea. Very tasty food even in the first phase.

Contrary to a previous reviewer, there is a reasonable amount of scientific backing given for the diet. Remember this was designed by a cardiologist for heart patients, it is healthy and has been clinically tested. It is not a less strict version of the Atkins diet, rather I see it as the sensible ...

The good points of this book are loads of info on nutrition, simple to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients, and it doesn't rely much on fake meats either, unlike many other vegan cookbooks. However, being a bit more experienced at cooking, I felt it wasn't really aimed at me.

While it's certainly more of a book for beginners and is therefore ideal for any new vegan, there are still admittedly few things, though not that many, that might appeal to a more experienced cook.

I have only given it 4 out of 5, because there really should be a subtitle stating that it is a book for beginners.

As with other reviews I would say that the book is very well laided out.

The receipies are kept to 4 or 5 steps with batches of ingredients being added rather than one at a time. This means instructions are straight forward.

True some of the ingredients can be seen as exotic but most would be found in a supermarket. The point is there is a need to shop and eat differently if you have diabetes. Carrying on as before is not going to help much. I can see some of these meals as becoming regular fixtures to our diet as they are good for me and the rest of the family.

I need some receipies that are different that can be for a special meal that all people can eat. There is a need for more "ordinary" meals but many here are prepared ... Read More:

I have had diabetes for 35 years - and needed a 'refresh'. I read about this book on a messageboard and thought I would check it out - not only is it extremely informative about diabetes - and what it is all about - the advise is so, so sound - the best I have read (and I have read and received a lot!). You can follow the strict diet or cheat a bit like me! But the low carb approach (which isn't easy!) really does work for me - it is amazing. Type 1 or Type 2 I would recommend you read this book - even just for the inspiration. My diabetes is a part of me and have never had issues with it as I do not know life without it! But I am always learning!

I knew there was something more to Japanese food than sushi and I found this a new beginning into 1) Japanese lifestyle 2) Japanese home cooking. I found the stories behind the food interesting and they've certainly stuck in my memory. This doesn't just deal with not getting fat but also looking better for longer which is related to nutrition. Highly enjoyable and very readable.

I think this book is great. The recipes are really tasty although definately for those who like cooking and don't mind the preparation. I have lost half a stone in weight without trying (remember - this book doesn't sell itself as a 'lose weight' diet book) I have also got more energy and have stopped topping up with chocolate etc after my meals.
Get it!!
