Eat Fat Look Thin: Natural Way to Weight Loss.......2007-08-06
Very informative book that shatters myth that saturated fat coconut oil is bad for your health: in fact, it's about the best oil/fat you can eat to improve your health. Includes some easy but very tasty recipes too. Would recommend to anyone interested in exploring better nutrition, in addition to those interested in weight loss.
5 stars is all they'd let me give, it needs more! .......2007-07-14
This book is totally awesome to say the least. I've been a bonified "health nut" for years, but this book gives you a lot of the information that I've took hours to research and read all in one book! So I recommend it to everyone that is concerned about their health and wanting to have some correct, and good knowledge to go on. It is not only about weight loss, it encompasses good fats, bad fats, why fat helps you lose weight, boosting your metabolism many other ways, and all the benefits of healthy eating. It really is a Healthy Lifestyle Plan as Bruce stated! I have used coconut oil for years now, (and read his book in about as long ago but seen I could write a review here today!) and it is truly a wonderful addition to anyone's diet. Not only do I use it in the kitchen, my husband and I use it in the bedroom--since it is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-parisitacal it works great for having a balanced "flora and fauna" in that area. And it makes a superb hair conditioner as well, gets rid of dandruff too (which is fungal). There are just so many uses for it...
Very Good Read.......2006-07-24
I totally agree with Master Hahn's review, especially the slant that Fife has for animals fats. It certainly does come out. Certainly a worthwhile purchase. As always, bear in mind that we need to read a lot of books in the low-carb world to truly get a well rounded view of the subject. This books fits in well with all the others.
A Real Wake Up Call!!.......2006-03-21
"Eat Fat, Look Thin" by Dr. Bruce Fife is an excellent book that explains exactly why you don't want to consume polyunsaturated oils like soy, canola, cottonseed, corn, and why you are risking your health if you do. Dr. Fife also explains the dangers of eating any soy that is not fermented. The book also explains the benefits of coconut and coconut oil and other healthy fats that your system needs to function properly.
After reading the book I dumped out all of my junk food and processed foods and started taking virgin coconut oil and eating only natural whole foods (mostly organic). Both my husband and I are losing weight and feel so much better!
This book is for anyone that is seriously interested in their health! Dr. Fife's book is based on the research of Dr. Weston A. Price (see www.westonaprice.org). I first checked it out from the library and read it. It was so good that I wanted my own copy for reference.
Really Good Book - But Not Quite Great.......2005-09-04
While hyped as a "Coconut Diet Book", this book actually "wanders" into several dietary areas. A lot of the information was VG and backed by continued research. And while there was a general emphasis on a low-carb approach, at times it seemed that approach came closer to a "moderate carb" recommendation.
On the positive side, the authors addressed the strong advantages of incorporating coconut oil into the diet . I especially found fascinating their discussion about the WTS (Wilson Thyroid Symptom) and the situation of T3 not being converted in tissue leading to a hypothyroid type condition (even though T3 levels in the blood could still be registering as normal!). While supplementation of T3 medication could be an obvious answer to medical types, the authors' recommendation of use of coconut oil to raise the body's temperature - and thereby enhance the enzyme that processes T3 more fully into body tissue - was a very interesting concept that bears further consideration.
I was disappointed in one regard in that the book emphasizes the advantages of coconut oil's saturated fats while downplaying the equal advantages of saturated fats from animal sources (ignoring for example that the native Okinawan diet emphasizes the use of lard quite extensively). I realize that the book was designed to emphasize the advantages of coconut oil, but seeing as how it drifted into so many other areas, it was still a point that could have been more easily addressed. (In fact there were times when a reader could almost discern a definite slant against animal origin saturated fats.)
[...]
There was one other area where I was disappointed with the position of the authors, and that was directed at their obvious bias against commercial milk. I would be the very first to loudly proclaim that raw milk (obtained under sanitary conditions) is by far a much healthier product that commercial milk. The authors however declare commercial milk to be basically a "death product" (making the chart of "FrankenFoods") by citing concerns with pasteurization and homogenization.
Yes, pasteurization does kill off the enzymes in milk - but then every time one cooks their vegetables (or meats, grains, etc.) they very likely generate more heat than that generated in the pasteurization process... and thereby kill off the enzymes contained by that food. One needs to stop and consider that while a food products enzymes can be important, the more important enzymes are the one's located in the human body naturally. I find it interesting that pasteurization (a low heat process) is evil as it kills the milk enzymes and yet when the authors discuss "Dietary Goitrogens" that they recommend, quite properly, the cooking of cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, etc.) and even bean sprouts as the cooking process (a high heat process) inactivates the goitrogens that can create thyroid problems. Oh yeah, and the cooking also kills the enzymes in the cruciferous vegetables and bean sprouts. Milk enzymes are apparently supremely important and yet the enzymes of cruciferous vegetables and bean sprouts apparently are not.
As to homogenization, the authors cite the theory addressed by a Dr. Kurt Oster, citing that homogenization causes an enzyme called xanthine oxidase to become trapped within tiny fat globules in the homogenized milk and that as a result the XO eventually passes through intact into the bloodstream where it acts as a free radical attacking the arterial wall. This simply is pure bunk.
The authors cite the Weston A. Price Foundation as their first listed "Most Useful Web Sites". Dr. Mary A. Enig is the Vice President of that organization and has this to say about Dr. Oster's theory:
"According to Oster, XO that remains in pasteurized, unhomogenized milk is found on the exterior of the membrane of the milk fat globules, where it is broken down during digestion. XO in raw milk is similarly digested. Oster postulated that because homogenization reduces the fat globules to a fraction of their original size, the XO is encapsulated by the new outer membranes of the smaller fat globules which form during the homogenization process. He believed that this new membrane protected the XO from digestive enzymes, allowing some XO to pass intact within the fat globules from the gut into the circulatory system when homogenized milk is consumed... A fundamental flaw in Oster's theory involves the difference between a fat globule and a liposome. Fat globules basically contain triglycerides and cholesterol encapsulated in a lipid bilayer membrane composed of proteins, cholesterol, phospholipids and fatty acids. They occur naturally in milk in a wide range of sizes. The fat globules in unhomogenized bovine milk are both very small and very large, ranging in size from 1000 nanometers to 10,000 nanometers. After homogenization, the average globule size is about 500 nanometers with a range from 200 nanometers to 2000 nanometers. Oster considered homogenization of cow's milk to be a 'procedure which foists unnaturally small particles on our digestive tracts.' Yet sheep's milk fat globules are reported to be 'very small. . . [and consequently]. . . easier to digest' and in fact globules from this milk are described as 'naturally homogenized'. The milk fat globule membrane from sheep's milk does not separate and butter cannot be made from such milk even though there is twice as much fat in sheep's milk as in cow's milk. The fat globules from goat's milk are similarly small. Once again, goat's milk is considered easier to digest than cow's milk for this reason. So there is nothing unnatural about small milk fat globules. Fat globules of all sizes are broken down during digestion, releasing the hundreds of thousands of triglycerides as well as any enzymes they contain. (Milk fat globules actually contain more than seven enzymes, of which XO is one - the other major ones are NADH2, iodonitrotetrazolium, 5-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, phosphodiesterase and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase.) These enzymes are broken down into individual amino acids (enzymes are specialized proteins) and the triglycerides are broken down into individual fatty acids and monoglycerides. Although Oster described these small milk fat globules in homogenized milk as liposomes, several researchers have pointed out that liposomes are very different in basic composition. Liposomes are typically 200 nanometers or less in size and do not contain complex protein components. Liposomes do not occur in nature but were developed by scientists as a way of delivering components such as drugs to the cells in the body."
Interestingly the authors of this book highly recommend goat's milk.
To further cite Dr. Enig (who is also the author of "Know Your Fats: The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils, and Cholesterol"):
"A team led by A. J. Clifford looked carefully at Oster's theories. In a study published in 1983, they noted that 'neither liposome formation during homogenization of milk nor absorption of intact liposomes from the gastrointestinal tract has been demonstrated.' In reviewing the major published findings, Clifford reported that 'absorption of dietary xanthine oxidase has not been demonstrated.' Clifford's team cites studies showing lack of activity of serum xanthine oxidase from pigs and humans fed diets that included milk or were without milk. Further, Clifford's team noted that 'a relationship between intake of homogenized `dairy foods' and levels of xanthine oxidase activity in the blood has not been established.' There was even one study which showed an increase in serum xanthine oxidase when corn oil was fed, whereas milk and cream showed no such increase."
[...]
I believe that incorporating inaccurate portrayals that "may" have been the result of personal beliefs (for example inferring problems with other helpful fats and foods), the authors actually may have diluted to some extent the more positive messages that were being sent.
Overall would have to say that I agreed with 90% of the book.

Book Description
The healthy alternative to trans fats, this revolutionary program explains why we must eat healthy, saturated fats-especially coconut-to achieve weight loss and good health.
Since the late 1950s, it's been drilled into Americans that fat makes you fat, saturated fats (such as those found in butter, eggs, and red meat) are unhealthy, and tropical fats and oils (like coconut and palm) are downright deadly. And yet-as we eliminate saturated fats from our diet for fear of high cholesterol levels and hardened arteries-obesity, heart disease, and cancer rates have continued to climb.
Based on more than two decades of research by world-renowned biochemist and fats expert Dr. Mary Enig, Eat Fat, Lose Fat flouts conventional wisdom by asserting that so-called healthy vegetable oils (such as soybean and corn) are in large part responsible for our national obesity and health crises, while the saturated fats traditionally considered "harmful" are, in fact, essential to weight loss and health.
World populations on four continents that subsist on the coconut, with less evidence of heart disease, weight gain, or other chronic illnesses, provide the best proof of this food's safety and efficacy; dozens of studies conducted by prestigious, mainstream universities support the use of coconut and other healthy fats and reveal the faulty reasoning underlying the saturated fat/heart disease hypothesis; and case stories from a wide range of people illustrate how using coconut oil in concert with other healthy fats can spark weight loss and heal serious illnesses, including anxiety, hypothyroidism, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Featuring delicious recipes for each of its three nutritional programs, Eat Fat, Lose Fat is the book to help you build energy, lose weight, fight disease, and boost your immunity.

Valuable information.......2007-09-04
This book is an easy read with great information. I would recommend this book to everyone, but especially to those with cholesterol conditions and those with young children. It certainly has changed my way of thinking about food in general, more notably Fats!
Truth of fats.......2007-08-28
I enjoyed reading this book. It has changed my life. It does work and has made eating fun again. I have more energy than I have in 10 years. My skin is glorious and I'm 62 yrs old. My metabolism has kicked in again and I'm doing more. For anyone who suspects the food processing companies and government sanctioning of same, this book really opens your eyes.
Natural Nutrition.......2007-07-30
This book was an eye opener for me... I'd always found it difficult to stick to the "recommended" eating habits and felt that it was not natural... Surely the fat in milk and eggs is healthy I thought but who am I to go against all the "experts"... How can anyone get so much protein in during the day? One cannot; hence the need for all the protein supplements...
The only problem with this book is the fact that its "diet" may not be realistic to follow for many people... I did, however, take the good ideas they have and incorporated them into my own diet...

Great cookbook!.......2007-08-05
I love that this cookbook comes in a three-ringed binder and has a picture for every recipe.
Love, love, love it!.......2007-03-06
I am the queen of counting calories and this book is #1! I have tried several of the recipes (including desserts) and it is phenomenal how good the food tastes. Even when I reach my goal weight, I'll keep making most of the recipes I've tried so far because they are that good! I highly recommend the Sweet Onion Burgers (I use turkey), Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce, Tilapia with Chili Cream Sauce, and the Mocha Cake! Delicious!
Spiral binding makes the book hard to use.......2006-08-04
The book is spiral bound, and while it allows the book to lie flat on a countertop, the pages don't turn easily. I think the problem is that the spiral binder is too small for the book. The pages don't have much "breathing room" as you turn them so it makes browsing the book difficult. The binding isn't an issue if you will find the recipe you're looking for and turn to that page. Aside from the binding issue, the production is top quality. The entire book is color on glossy paper, and you'll find alluring photos of every recipe.
I have read dieter cookbooks that seem to be regular cookbooks with traditional recipes that have been modified. I wouldn't put this one into that category. It's organized just like a cookbook, as the chapters are based on the type of food used in the recipes. However, I would classify the recipes as new and innovative ideas. While there are some basic, traditional recipes, it's more common that you'll find new recipes that you've never seen before which pair healthy foods, for example, Cranberry Grilled Chicken, Veal with Orange Sauce, Pineapple Pork Roast, Gazpacho Sandwiches, Blood Orange Sherbet, Green Tea and Tangerine Sorbet, Peach-Coconut Mousse, and Orange-Blueberry Angel Food Cake.
One of the best parts of the book is its introduction, which tells you how to calculate your calorie needs, provides a sample menu plan with variations for different calorie amounts, reviews the components of a healthy diet, and emphasizes the importance of exercise.
In my collection of cookbooks, it won't be my go-to book. But when I am looking for new ideas, it will provide me with tons of them to help me add flair to the foods I prepare most often.
Not just for Dieters.......2006-07-13
I am very happy with this cookbook. The recipes are modern and the book's layout is fantastic! My family loves the new twists on old favorites.
Don't buy Spiral-bound Edition.......2006-05-21
First of all, I love this cookbook!! I own more than 10 diet/light/low-carb cookbooks, and this is the only one that all the recipes I've tried from haven't let me down. I love the layout as well; every recipe has a picture making it easy to choose a dish I'd like to try that day.
That being said, I regret that I bought a spiral-bound edition. I chose this one, because it was cheaper. And of course, it turned out that there's a reason for that; The book is quite thick while spirals are very tight, making it very hard to turn pages completely. So, some pages were torn off the comb as I flip though the pages very often to choose a recipe of a day.
This is a great cookbook. If I were you, I'd pay a few bucks more now and get a better quality version that would last longer. (like a ring bound or a paperback version? I don't know which one would be better since I haven't tried other editions. But at least I can tell you that spiral-bound is not very sturdy.)
Happy cooking! =)

Customer Reviews:
She knows her fat!.......2000-07-21
Ann Louise Gittleman is right on the money. I found this book the most important book about dietary fat I have ever read.
I, too, used to subscribe to the "fat-free" lifestyle in sad, desperate attempts to lose weight. After finding out just how much the body needs fat, especially the right kinds of fat, I realized that I was really "abusing" my body by ignoring it's needs for essential fatty acids. I have added flaxseed oil to my daily regimen and have started to incorporate dietary changes. I do feel much better.
I also appreciate the scientific evidence that supports her claims. She sheds new light on the body's need for protein and fat, something that flies in the face of traditional nutrition advice. Since I've started to give myself more protein, I feel fuller longer and my sugar cravings are much reduced.
If you have been living the "Fat-Free Lie," you owe it to yourself to read this book. I was so engrossed in the thing that I finished it in a day. It is truly breakthrough.
Great Book.......2000-05-08
I really like this book. This is more of a nutritional book than a diet book, although weight-loss is the added benefit. I found her advice sound and logical. I highly recommend this book to people who are interested in their health, especially women. I look forward to reading more of her books!
Sound Advice.......2000-02-17
I have read numerous nutrition books and most of Ms. Gittleman's books as well. I think she is one of the most thorough and knowledgable nutritionists around. Her insight into our dietary needs is accurate. This book and her "Get the Sugar Out" book have changed the way I eat and feed my family. We like our results! I believe the american people are being mislead with misinformation and half truths. We have limited choices and inferior products available in most of our restaurants and grocery stores. I hope people educate themselves and find their own good health. I highly recommend " Eat Fat, Lose Weight" as well as any other book by Ms. Gittleman.
An excellent introduction offering sound nutritional guides........2000-02-04
Nutritionist and author Ann Louise Gittleman, M.S. and C.N.S., is currently a consultant to numerous professional organizations. Dina R. Nunziato, C.S.W., is a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders and weight management. They've teamed up to write Eat Fat, Lose Weight: How The Right Fats Can Make You Thin For Life. Their book is essential reading for anyone wanting to know the true role of dietary fat in weight control. Gittleman starts with the premise that Americans have done themselves more harm than good by banishing all fats from their diets. She says that "all fats are not created equal. In fact, certain fats boost the body's metabolic rate and protect the heart and nerves." She adds that "certain fats are essential to the health and vitality of every human being, regardless of age, gender, or current weight." The authors describe each kind of fat and what it does in the body. They cite statistics showing that since Americans became obsessed with low-fat and fat-free diets obesity has increased significantly, the incidence of diabetes and heart disease has increased, depression has become common, and immune system disorders are "rampant." People obviously need some fat in their diets, but "it's the type of fat that counts." They also discuss the role of carbohydrates and protein in the diet, and relationship between those nutrients and fat. Gittleman and Nunziato devote several chapters to the healthy fats and how to include them in your diet. They finish with the "Eat Fat, Lose Weight Eating Plan," and include sample menus and suggestions for items to keep stocked in your pantry for when you don't have lots of time for food preparation. They describe their book as being "about health, about achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, as well as healthy percentages of body fat, lean muscle tissue, and strong bones. It is about living well and being well throughout your lifetime." Readers will find that Eat Fat, Lose Weight lives up to the author's promises. -- Sandra I. Smith, Reviewer
Wonderfully educating book!.......2000-01-06
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has tried a low-fat diet and failed. This book goes into many specifics regarding EFA's, Omega 3s, 6s, and 9s and how eating the right fats can make you thin for life by jump starting fat burning systems in your body and also by assisting the insulin energy storage system in the body to help burn more fat. It may be as simple as eating the recommended foods and taking the proper supplements. I really liked that this book wasn't just about weight loss, but overall health and how the American diet has deteriorated so that it has promoted many diseases in the last 10 years. It's a wonderful change of pace from your average diet, this is one that just might be livable for LIFE.
