Customer Review: The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health
This book has life-changing information. But don't let the fact that it is a description of many studies be a deterrent to reading it: the book is written in an extraordinarily readable style.
Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero, Isa Moskowitz, Terry Romero Amazon Price: $18.15
Customer Review: From the moment I saw this book at the Borders where I work I was intrigued...a huge compendium of completely vegan recipes?? I had to investigate further. After borrowing the book from my store about 8 times (yes you can do that if you actually work there...rent brand new books out! WOOOT!) I decided that yeah...it was worth the price tag. I couldn't get enough of it.
Everything I have made has been satisfying and delicious. Everything you ever needed is in here! Need a lasagna recipe...yup..it's here, along with a heavenly tofu-ricotta that is amazing in other things too... Need something extra special for a holiday dinner? Don't want your vegan friends to be left out of a delicious meal? The "quiche" in here is so decadent, it'll be the people eating the turkey who'll be jealous!
Seriously though, for a person just starting out on the vegan diet, not knowing how on earth to turn her faves into animal-friendly dishes, this is for you! Been a vegan for years and want to add some new recipes to the table? This is the book for you. Next to Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World...buying this book was the best decision I ever made. It's like the Vegan bible! Delish! Get it, cook stuff, enjoy....and share! Seriously, your non-veg friends/family will dig things in here too (PS Don't tell them it's vegan til' they've cleaned their plates....it's more fun that way!"
Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop... by Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: This book is too "radically vegan" for my taste. And speaking of "taste", nothing in this book has any. What the heck is "vegan bacon", anyway? Why bother? I guess it's easy to be a skinny bitch if you never eat anything that tastes good. It would explain the "skinny" and also the "bitch"...
Now I understand. Thanks, but I'd rather not be either.

Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss by Joel Fuhrman Amazon Price: $10.19
Customer Review: This books contains all the information you need to implement healthy changes in your life. No one could adopt these dietary changes without seeing improvement, or complete resolution, of their chronic health conditions.
I am a practicing anesthesiologist, and as a physician I admit to some bias. I segregate books on health-related topics into two categories: those written by qualified professionals (M.D.'s & PhD's), and those that were not (which I fondly refer to as "groovy books"). I admit to reading the groovy ones, too, but I take their claims with a grain of salt. This book, so obviously based on the latest research as well as Dr Furhman's clinical experience, abundantly referenced, is a wake-up call. I fail to see how any intelligent reader could come away from this book without a new perspective on health, disease, and their deitary habits.
I deal daily with surgical patients who are in their poor state of health, and scheduled for operations, as a direct result of many years of dietary self-abuse. If I could but hand them a copy of this book and turn back the clock, I have no doubt that I would be out of a job.
Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: I have to say that the reviewers comments below is not one that is Accurate or Fair. This book is in no way selling or recommending any product(s)!
I've read this book and given copies to friends and family. The book is filled with facts about green smoothies that is absolutely incredible.
Victoria has poured lots of research into presenting a great testament to the benefits of green smoothies.
While most of these smoothies are made from kale, spinach, dandelion, or chard, they are incredibly delicious. The results of drinking these smoothies, can be seen and felt. Victoria clearly does not claim to be anything other than a researcher. But to her credit she has taken her family to new health heights and offers readers the same opportunity.
Having just attended a presentation by Victoria where covers much of the material in this book, I can say that she is living proof of being Green for Life!
This book will be (and is already) a classic!
Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: This book is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time! Not only am I vegan, but I'm allergic to gluten/wheat products! And she includes a scrumptious vanilla and chocolate version of GF cupcakes in here! All a GF vegan has to do is substitute the GF cupcakes into any of the recipes in here and voila! An amazing cupcake that all your friends at work will ask you to make over and over..yes, they're vegan...and many "non-veg-savvy" are frightened at the prospect...but these cupcakes are total, over the top crowd pleasers!!! Even my boyfriend likes them...and he's a real "I like meat" kinda guy...if this book can win him over, it can win your man over too...not to mention your boss, your friends, your relatives...the list goes on and on and on...buy it...it's the best book I've bought in a long long time! You will not be disappointed.
The Fat Smash Diet: The Last Diet You'll Ever Need by Ian K. Smith Amazon Price: $8.53
Customer Review: Read this book from cover to cover. Found it to be an interesting,informative, helpful read. As with most diet books, this one tends to make diet suggestions that don't seem too practical. In order to achieve solid results, one must conform with the suggested dietary guidelines that oftentimes require purchasing unique items that may not be used too often once weight goals are attained. I realize a weight loss program is a lifestyle change, but to require me to initially cut out meats,starches, etc. as part of the cleansing process in the foundation stage sounds a little extreme to me. Afterall, in school we were taught the importance of proper eating by utilizing the Food Pyramid and encompassing meats, cheeses, starches, fruits, vegetables, breads in our diets on a daily basis. Diet books & programs now seem to shun utilizing some of the key components of the Food Pyramid which only adds to my confusion in my quest to address weight issues. I will utilize some aspects of the book in my weight loss program-some of the recipes sounds mouth watering & tantalizing.
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, ... by Caldwell B. Esselstyn Amazon Price: $10.85
Customer Review: I purchased this and The China Study - two books closely related / companions in my opinion. They even talk about each other. The recipes in this book have really helped us eat healthier and I highly recommend this book for a good understand of what heart disesase is and how to prevent it (and how to reduce other illnesses as well). Add a little bit of unrefined sea salt to the recipes and they are delicious. Half of this book is just recipes! It is a very easy read, and very captivating.
