Americancivilwar.com Review |

"It is not only what you eat that makes the difference, but also of extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations," say Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of this classic bestseller. Their program results in eating balanced, nutritious, high-fiber foods, making dieting "unnecessary and as obsolete as sealing wax." The Diamonds explain that body functions have a daily cycle: noon to 8 p.m.-- appropriation (eating and digestion); 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.--assimilation (absorption and use); 4 a.m. to noon--elimination (of body wastes and food debris). Fit for Life aims to return you to a lifestyle based on your natural body cycles. That means 70 percent of your diet should be "high-water-content foods"--fruits and vegetables--which facilitate all body functions. Consume nothing but fruit or fruit juice until noon, then eat salad and vegetables with every meal for the rest of the day. Two-thirds of the book is explanation and discussion; one-third is menu plans and recipes. You won't be hungry, your food choices will be healthy, and you'll lose weight without dieting. --Joan Price |

IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS !!! |
If you are looking to lose weight & get healthy, you have just found the book that will guide you to your success. I first followed this book 17 years ago. I lost 40 lbs in 4 months & never felt better. I had the energy of someone years younger.
The Diamond's may not have a perfect system, but, it's leaps & bounds beyond whatever is next in place.
Then, after many years of being slim & healthy, I got lazy, fell off the plan & gained my 40 lbs. back. Where did I go for help ? Right back to my old "Fit for Life" book that was sitting on the shelf.
I am now 10 days into the plan & starting to really see & feel the benefits of "Fit For LIfe", AGAIN !
I thank Harvey & Marilyn Diamond a second time ! Jim Langston, Oregon |

If you Suffer from Heartburn - Fit 4 Life is 4 You |
|
When this is followed within the parameters of the program, it works like a charm - stick to it - no heartburn - don't stick to it - heartburn - simple as that. No gimmicks really - food is digested cleaner, quicker, doesn't go bad in your stomach - I was absolutely dumbfounded it worked so completely. |

More good than bad |
Those who have written negative reviews of this book are missing a couple of important points: Firstly, whether or not the authors are qualified or the ideas are well-grounded in science is quite irrelevant. What matters is that this book gets people to start thinking far more healthfully about the foods they eat, and it creates positive changes in people's health, appearance and self-confidence. For many, it's just a start on the path to learning more about nutrition and healthy lifestyles. Secondly, the authors are often criticized because they're not doctors. Excuse me, but since when did someone need to be a doctor to have and impart good knowledge of nutrition. Last time I looked, most doctors don't have a clue about the subject and that is probably a huge contributing factor to the dismal state of our health in the Western world.
I've owned this book for many years and have just started the program again to get rid of my pregnancy weight. After one day I already feel lighter and happier. I recommend anyone wanting to lose weight give it a fair chance. |

I'm glad to finally know what I should have known my whole life! The Diamonds have put in a nutshell nutritional information that should've been taught in school. I have much more energy now and a better outlook mentally. I can tell that my digestive system is running much more smoothly and I know that I'm giving my body the best fuel it could have to deal with the barrage of toxins it's subjected to daily. I've just started Fit for Life II and am really enjoying it, too! It's much more than a sequel and well worth buying. |
