"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

Great Book.......2007-10-10
Harvey Diamond is a genius. I am proof this book works. I sleep less, eat less without feeling deprived and my skin has changed just as promised in the book. My energy levels are much better and people are telling me how good I look. What a miracle this book has been in my life. Thanks Harvey

This is a easy way of not just losing weight but getting a lot more energy!
Eat Fruits.......2007-09-28
It is a great idea to have only fruit for breakfast, I did it for a week and lost one Kilo, you feel better after a while. I like the way the author explains every suggestions though I do not follow them entirely because I love meat.
I have read them all, my advice is..........2007-09-04
I read all thier books. I only recommend you buy 1 & II. The rest are just repetitive, with marginal returns. I respect this book, it has enlightened me on the different unhealthy daily habits. In the beggining, following the new system was very tough. It was the positive results that kept me going. It requires lots of self discipline. After reading all thier books, I no longer need to be reminded or convinced of the harm from flesh foods and dairy products and wrong food combining. I am at a phase where I am researching new recipes to grow the list of healthy meals. Its tougher than I tought, but worth the effort. Therefore buying thier cookbooks, and different vegan author's cook books is also recommended. Enjoy,
Finally...a program I can live with!.......2007-06-18
After having tried so many different programs and not being able to last a day or two on them, I was so excited when I came across the Fit For Life Program. I have only been on it for 4 days now and I have already lost about 9 pounds. My energy level is incredible and my cravings for sugary foods have all but disappeared. The swelling in my face has gone down tremendously and I am already receiving compliments on how nice I look. It is interesting to note that most of those who condemn this program with their comments failed to mention that they ever gave it a chance. The only complaint I would have is that the program is kind of chopped up and placed in many different parts of the book. It would be easier if it were laid out all together so you wouldn't have any questions. You might have to go to the beginning to find a basic answer to how the program works and then skip 100 pages forward to understand how different parts work. Nevertheless, it is not difficult to understand. I can't believe how full I become on such small amounts of food now! I used to stuff my face all day long always feeling hungry and now I eat an ordinary proportion and feel full all the way into the next day! I recommend this book to all those who are tired of being lifeless and fat and who have tried everything under the sun...always hungry, always deprived. You will not feel this way with Fit For Life!

The Abs Diet Get Fit Stay Fit.......2007-08-05
I would like to review the book, but unfortunately I have not received the book. My order was suppose to be in on the 17th of July. I called customer service, they did try to trace it. Someone called me back and told me the books had been shipped to Pgh. but no one seems to know what has happened to them. I have been charged for the books but have not received any books. Perhaps whoever reads this from the co. can try to trace this order. The order no. is 102-76546986002524. This book is one of three that were ordered on July 5th.
Simply Super.......2007-03-21
David's books hit the target straight on. No fuss, no muss, no fancy this or that. The plan is simple. Eat right and start moving. Change your life and lifestyle forever. Not once did I feel I was deprived of any particular foods. I went from 240 to 222 and am still re-shaping. Lots of new muscle and definition (and I'm 55, imagine that!). I like to do sprint triathlons and this book has helped me improve tremendously. Can't recommend this book and the sister books enough. Get it, read it, do it. You'll love it.
Very educational........2007-02-22
This book was great and it brought to attention how much terrible things are used to mass produce foods today. I know have a better idea of what to avoid and what to eat a lot of. I have noticed a big difference in my life and the way I feel on an everyday basis.
Great for workout techniques........2006-11-04
This book offers a tremendous strengh training circuit routine, full of pictures, anecdotes, and facts.
Quick way to lose weight.......2006-09-24
This book is for anyone who would like a quick enjoyable read that will show them how to lose weight and keep it off with no counting calories, carbs, are eating rabbit food.this book also shows you 245 excellent exercises for your abs and for strength training. The exercises are shown as pictures and are described to easily learn. The diet consists of eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day with a focus on the 12 power foods:
Almonds (nuts)
Beans
Spinach (Greens)
Dairy (Low fat)
Instant Oatmeal
Eggs
Turkey (lean meats)
Peanut Butter (all natural)
Olive oil
Whole grain breads and cereals
Extra-protein (whey) powder
Raspberries and other berries
I have read 50 other diet and nutrition books and this one contains many of the best principles of the zone, ultrametabolism, Super foods RX, and others in one place. This book gets right down to business and does not go into the detail of most other books about why it works, most people will like that. It is filled with testimonials and before and after pictures of the people that this diet was successful for. I highly recommend this book if you are ready to get serious and get healthy.

If you're a woman over 40, you are undergoing physical and emotional changes, declining metabolism, fat deposits at your waistline, decreased energy, mood swings, food cravings--do we need to continue this list? Now pile on chronic, long-term stress (which the author terms toxic stress), which hits women between 40 and 60 and leads to self-destructive eating behavior. "Uncontrolled or toxic stress keeps the refueling appetite on, thus inducing stress eating and weight gain," Peeke explains. The stress triggers are constant, so the body never gets to turn off the stress response. The weight gained from this chronic, toxic stress--toxic weight--settles inside the abdomen and is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Peeke explains the association between stress and fat gain, and describes the stress/eating cycle ("the itch you can't scratch"). Then she teaches tools for "regrouping": formulating and following a contingency plan of nutrition, exercise, and self-care. Next are suggestions for a nutritional plan tied to stressful times of the day and an explanation of food needs after age 40. In the final chapters, Peeke nudges us to exercise to relieve stress, reduce body fat, and benefit overall health. Peeke is a highly regarded scientist and clinician who studies the link between stress and fat at the National Institutes of Health. She's also Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and works with Vice President Gore as the Medical Director of the National Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer. --Joan Price
Book Description
It's a fact: stress makes you fat. Renowned clinician and scientist Dr. Pamela Peeke goes beyond diet and exercise with a lifestyle program that shows women how to stop being diet "POWs" ("Prisoners Of Weight") or victims of "Toxic Stress" and how to evolve into physically and mentally stress-resilient individuals. Peeke helps women identify their stress-eating profiles (Are you a stress-overeater? A stress-undereater?) and explains that to remove weight, you have to lift weight. She explains what to eat and, equally as important, when to eat by navigating the afternoon "CortiZone," the hours of highest vulnerability to stress eating. Learn how to put it all together through the fine art of regrouping.
Women can tailor this accessible program to their individual needs using Peeke's three behavior templates:
• Stress-resilient nutrition
• Stress-resilient physical activity
• Stress-resilient regrouping
Dr. Peeke's program is a must for women who want to break the stress-fat cycle that has thickened their after-forty waistlines.

Fight Fat After Forty.......2007-08-24
This book is amazing! It is exactly the solution I needed! It explains, in detail, what is happening to my forty something body. My body has been changing for years now, and the weight has piled on and the old solutions just don't do it anymore. This book has helped me to understand that this has been going on for awhile and unless I change the way I treat my body, it will not get any better. It's not about DIET, but about what you eat and when you eat it. It's about recognizing when stress hits and navigating through it in a non-destructive manor. I now have hope and can't wait to begin this new journey. I realize that without my health and well being, I have nothing. Thanks!
Fight Fat Over Forty Explained and Helped a Lot.......2007-04-23
I'm a Stress Overeater over 50 and this book explains a lot. It also explains why it is necessary, not overindulgent, to continue with my twice per week personal trainer for upper body and core workouts (which I rarely would do on my own) and my twice per week long hikes. I have made other changes which have helped me slowly but surely "remove" the excess weight. If I don't do something perfectly, I don't stress over it, which helps in the long run. For some reason, this book made sense to me and convinced me of what habits I need to stop, continue, and do more of.
I also can spot stress undereaters, and I am now more compassionate than envious (the ones I know are thin and look good, but I know they are also stressed.)
Fighting Fat After Forty is validating!.......2006-07-28
I haven't even finished this book and I've lost 10 pounds. This is the first weight loss in 5 years for me and all I did was change the times I eat! Pamela Peeke is the first doctor to truly understand and work with how a woman's body changes during perimenopause and menopause and it really validates you as a person. You aren't nuts; you really are changing. I can't believe how motivated I am. This is a definite buy and a book that I will save and give to my own daughter.
Be Prepared to Fight Back!.......2006-05-04
I first heard about Dr. Peeke on Discovery Channel's Body Challenge. I read this book cover to cover and it hit me; this is why I've had trouble losing weight! It helped me to understand how stress-eating was affecting my inability to lose weight; or to keep it off. I highly recommend this book and I'm not kidding about how much help it's been to me. The proof is in the 24 lbs lost and 4% fat loss in 10 weeks! What do you have to lose???

Life changer! I fully recommend 100%.......2007-09-04
THis is the best of all thier books. THe details are just perfect for someone who is applying these changes to his life.
I hope they release new books, with new and very detailed advice.
I believe, the phase of convincing the people of harmful food habits, is way gone. We are at a phase, where we want to do something about it. Just give us the details how. The positive energy from this book is superb. THe effect it has had on my families life, and my peers is astounding. I highly recommend it.
My pants fell down.......2007-06-22
One August morning in 1988 I got off a bus on (I think) Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. I was on vacation, and it was a beautiful day. But I felt lousy, lacking energy and feeling generally sluggish. What's more, I'd had a "good" breakfast -- eggs & toast. After finding myself on Wilshire Boulevard, I noticed a Crown Books & thought, there must be something here to help me. I picked up a copy of FIT FOR LIFE, the first one. Where I came from it wasn't easy to get avocadoes, let alone distilled water, which was only used in irons. But for the next three weeks I was able to give it a try. I shopped at the Erewhon health food store, I remember. I adhered strictly to the Diamonds' regimen -- not following every meal instruction, but not infringing the rules either. I returned to my native country, and about four weeks after buying the book, I noticed that my pants were falling off me. I was perplexed for a while, because losing weight wasn't in my calculations. I just wanted to feel good. But after a bit the penny dropped, as had the fifteen pounds that I could obviously afford to lose (along with my pants, which I couldn't). By the way, I also felt a hell of a lot better.
It may or may not be that the Diamonds get carried away at times. They would not recommend diet alone for the treatment of cancer or a broken leg. Use your common sense. I have not remained fully true to the program over the years but as they recommend, do what you can.
Fit for Life.......2007-05-12
My nephew and his friends and I have been following the Fit for Life philosohphy for two months and find that they have dropped 15 to 25 pounds. I have followed the philosophy for one month and have dropped fifteen pounds. I was following the South Beach Diet and find eating the live foods agrees with me more. I have more energy than before. My joints are feeling better. My entire body is more alive it seems.
I have recommended this book to many others in the hopes that they too will feel better.
Long on rhetoric...short on facts, this book is mostly hype.......2006-08-22
I bought and read this book years ago. At the time, the Diamonds seemed to make a good case for their viewpoint. After researching their claims over the years, I have discovered that most of what they claim is pure fiction and has no basis in the real world. They seem to know enough about their subject to be dangerous but not enough to actually offer sound advice.
Take what they say with a grain of salt and research their claims before putting any of it into practice.
Detractors haven't tried it. Fruit's Not a Fad........2006-02-24
The negative reviews seem to be all the same and don't seem to have tried it and maybe even haven't read it. There's nothing unhealthy about eating fruit in the morning. Eating anything you want after noon is hardly a fad diet. The book just suggests eating things separately like a big steak and greens rather than adding a bunch of fillers like potatoes. It suggests eating all the starches you want but just not with the steak as it complicates the digestion process. I like to eat that way anyway. Give me more meat and less potatoes any day! The book suggests exercise. That's not a fad. It's just common sense. The book suggests not drinking coffee. If you eat fruit, you can really pound the coffee and still come out feeling good. I like Fast Food Friday's more than most but eating more sensibly is nothing but a positive. If you are a runner or some other athlete and have plateaued, you should consider their suggestions. You won't hit the wall so easy if you eat the fruit.

A Fantastic 2nd Part to "Fit For Life"!!!.......2006-02-28
I loved "Fit For Life, and now reading the "New Way Of Eating From The Fit For Life Kitchen"...Lots more information on perfectly combining and eating...I couldn't put it down...I learned so much more and this is a new way of life for me and I highly recommend this for anyone who is totally serious about learning a new way of life, it is not a diet, it's a way of life that makes you feel so much better and it's so much healthier...
Simple, healthy recipes that taste good.......2002-01-21
I like this cooking book and use it wuite often. It has several sections, and I especially like the one on salads and salad dressings and the one of fruit smoothies. The book can actually be used by people who have not read the Fit for Life books, too, as it contains a summary of the main info on food combining and fruit consumption; while Fit for Life fans will like it as it will bring nice new recipes in their kitchen, while still assuring them they are eating as healthy as possible.
The book contains several sections: fruit smoothies, juices and salads; vegetable salads and many dressings for them: sandwitches (yes, you can have a properly combined sandwicth, and once you had one, you won't want to go back to the old way!); soups; vegetable dishes; feast and buffest dishes.
The recipes are simple to realize even for people who don't have much experience in cooking, and they are realized with readily available items. This book will allow you to cook for your family and know they are eating properly without much effort on your side, and they'll like what you cook!
Particularly recommended for vegetarians! But anyone will like this book.
I lost 30 pounds effortlessly and I'm healthier than ever........2000-08-23
This book helped me to drop 30 pounds in less than 6 weeks. I feel alive again. I've never felt this good. Not only did I take the weight off, but I also lost my asthma and chronic fatigue. Thank you Marilyn Diamond.
food combining saved my life.......2000-06-10
I started food combining to lose weight. Thanks to this book, I have not only lost the excess weight, but my energy level and my blood pressure and cholestrol levels have dropped dramatically, too. But , best of all, I AM NEVER HUNGRY.
This book is GREAT! I hope they put it back in print!.......1999-03-28
I have felt so much better since I have been practicing this way of eating. I have been on it for two weeks now and it is wonderful.

Book Description
Who says you can’t stay sexy forever? Kathy Kaehler’s breakthrough fitness plan shows you how to look and feel your best at any age.
Celebrity trainer, career woman, and mom Kathy Kaehler knows first-hand how women’s bodies change as they get older. Suddenly you don’t have as much energy as you used to and the numbers on the scale are creeping up. Maybe you’re feeling moody for no reason, or experiencing the first signs of menopause. But you can take control of your body and your life! In her new book, Kathy presents the first ever fitness-based program for managing this transition—and shows how to maintain your shape, your sparkle, and your sizzle through your forties, fifties, and beyond.
Until now, women haven’t had a good option for coping with menopause—and hormone replacement therapy, natural or not, comes with a host of risks and side-effects. But Kathy’s Fit and Sexy regimen provides a hormone-free way to fire up your metabolism, boost your energy, stave off hotflashes, and start feeling fabulous. With daily workouts that focus on cardio and strength conditioning, and a simple eating plan tailored to women over forty, her program gives you everything you need to melt pounds, build muscle, and decrease your risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, breast cancer, and other health concerns. Kathy also shares her special “Take Five” workouts—five-minute blasts that offer a quick-fix cure to:
Boost your libido
Find more energy
Stop a hot flash
Sleep like a baby
And more
Packed with the very latest information on women’s health, Fit and Sexy for Life offers a completely natural way to look and feel healthy and sensational for years to come.

Heather.......2007-05-31
I loved this book. Especially since I will soon be entering the 40 generation and there is so much anxiety and uneasiness of what will happen during the menopause period that it was very refreshing to read such a healthy, happy, and natural way of looking at menopause/perimenopause period... It helps ease the anxiety..... And the exercises are good refreshers and easy to incorporate into everyday life...Great book
Heidi.......2007-05-31
This is a great book with tons of information. It really helps put together a way to fit in exercise with all of our busy schedules!! Not to mention how to continue it thought out your life.
Real Life Fit Living - That I can use everyday.......2007-05-30
Fabulous book that has good solid information on fitness and nutrition for life. Honestly and frankly discusses the physical and emotional problems many of us experience in our forties and beyond; including discussion on ways to alleviate those symptoms. The exercises are easy to follow and can be done in your own home without buying lots of expensive equipment. This is a great lifetime plan!

Same old same old.......2007-05-26
I had high hopes for this book, and was disappointed. It offers nothing new, just rehashes the same information that can be found in countless other health/fitness books. It might be helpful to you if you've never bought a book on this subject matter before, but if you've already read and/or owned books on health and fitness for women, save your money. I only wish I'd had the time to really look closely at this book before my 30 day window of opportunity to return it had passed.
Fabulous after forty.......2007-05-20
Great book! This should be a staple for women over forty who want to stay fit and feel great. Being a personal trainer and pilates instructor myself,
I found the information regarding exercise and nutrition to be very practical, and easy to fit into any lifestyle, which is key to staying with any program. Kathy Kaehler is role model for us all; balancing family, career, and womanhood. Hurrah!

harvey diamond's best book.......2007-02-11
this is a really good book. his original fit for life book also has some very good info in it, the diet regimen part of it less so in my opinion. but here he puts it all together, and focuses primarily on the link between diet and disease, using cancer as his main example. it has the feel of a great debunking text, as in, here is the fundamental and unassailable link between diet and health, the food we eat and the illness and disease that follow -- a basic truth that the AMA, FDA and pharmaceutical companies prefer you not see, as they pour billions of dollars of dollars into ads and countless propaganda. and then he shows, like john robbins' diet for a new america, that the paradigm of destruction of the S.A.D. (sad or standard american diet) extends not only to our health but also to pollution and ecological damage on a grand scale. the type of book you should read and then send copies to your friends. cheers, jg
The Truth Unleashed.......2004-07-23
This is a great book with Harvey at times unleashing his full venom at the medical profession, food industry and fellow dieticians. He is speaking up for the truth and I happen to believe him. Why? Because I have tested and followed the Fit for Life principles myself and they work.
However before reading this book (which I call Fit for Life III), I would advise buying and following the principles laid out in the first two books i.e. Fit for Life and Fit for Life II. They are easier to read, gentler (probably because they were written in partnership with Marilyn!) and cover the essential dietary/lifestyle principles you need to follow.
This book contains exactly the same text word for word as Fit for Life: A New Beginning (apart from the cover is different and the book is physically bigger), so if you want to save yourself some money I would buy that one instead. I would have rated the book 5 stars, if it was not for this point.
This is an absolute must read!.......2002-07-17
If you are at all interested in learning how to have complete and total control of your own health and how to confidently and easily live a sickness, pain and disease free life this book is definitely for you. In a climate of ever increasing statistics of disease and ill-health the clear and simple ideas of this book are nothing short of a Godsend. Since the medical profession, the single biggest industry in this country, makes the enormous amount of money that it does by the population being and remaining sick and full of disease they would have us believe that living a healthy disease free life is totally beyond our control. Well, thanks to the brilliant, yet extremely simple methods put forth by this author, the reader is able to take his/her health back into their own hands and truly live without sickness pain or worry of most, if not all diseases. The information in this book is as simple and easy to understand as it is groundbreaking. This book could and should change the world and the way people view cancer, sickness, pain and other diseases. The author explains in remarkably common sense and simple terms exactly how to take total control of your health, vitality and weight by using your body's lymph system (which the author explains is the body's garbage collector). He clearly points out that like a car, our body is a machine, a complex living machine and that after a while due to residue of foods we eat, toxins, chemicals and pollutants in foods, spent cellular material, and other wastes our bodies become "silted up" and require an "oil change" so to speak just like our cars do, otherwise sickness plagues us and disease begins to form. Not only is the information in the book groundbreaking and life changing, but the author, Harvey Diamond, who is known for his humorous and entertaining writing style, delights and entertains the reader with a book that I could not put down until I found myself finishing the last page. I recommend this book to absolutely everyone who can read and who desires to be healthy, energetic and disease free and truly feel this book could turn around the entire cancer and disease epidemic in this country and put the power of your own health back into people's own hands where it belongs! Not reading this book is just like turning your back on a pile of gold the size of a mountain. Thank you Harvey Diamond!

How to fool most of the people most of the time.......2007-04-21
Deborah Benton has written a must-read book for all us cubicle dwellers who lack real credentials or talent but nevertheless want a quick, if flimsy, façade of competence and don't mind being a little sleazy about getting it.
Here is Barnum's dream - a handbook for creating an artificial aura of respectability. Forget your lack of organization skills, inability to use written English, and that little sexual harassment episode. None of that matters now. Instead, it's all about pausing before you enter a room, or adjusting your chair to create "your" space.
If you want to silicone-enhance your career prospects, read this book.
Insulting.......2007-01-11
I find this book insulting and find that the author reminds me of the Ask Heloise lady for *corportate culture.* Bleh is right. This was required reading from an executive and it blows. Insightful is right - but I disagree -if we all listened to these "techniques" than no one would have individuality. I believe that you can be distinct and STAND OUT without conforming to this lady's advice. Hello 90s - wake up it's 2007 - and her ways are antiquated. Corporate culture is changing. I wonder what she'd have to say about that?
Practical .......2006-08-01
If you want to make an impact in a new environment regardless of your position, this is it. Insightful.
The book blows..........2005-07-11
Required reading for me as well and it was drivel. Pick anything but don't pick this book.
An effective guide to professional success.......2005-05-27
This excellent book offers tips on using a professional presence to stand out, fit in, and move ahead in the business world. It is aimed at both seasoned professionals and rookies. Benton covers the empowering pause, posture, and gestures.
Product Description
Like the first-century Pharisees, weve reduced Christianity to a set
of propositional beliefs. Truth is, weve gotten away from what it
really means to be a Christian. In The Jesus of Suburbia, Mike Erre
reveals that weve created a Jesus in our own image. In a fresh,
startling manner, Erre helps us understand that the real Jesus is
calling us to live, act, and think in ways that overturn the status
quo.
· Mike Erre is the pastor of a 4,000 member church in Costa Mesa, California.
· Mike and other authors and leaders have formed The Issachar Group, which is presenting the Christian faith in
new, compelling ways in print and in seminars

Challenging book.......2007-05-10
The Jesus of Suburbia challenges the America church to become what Jesus intended: a fellowship of Christ-followers which redeems and transforms the culture around it, reaching out to others with the incredible love of God. Read this book to rediscover biblical Christianity.
GREAT BOOK!.......2007-03-21
Mike Erre is a fantastic writer! His book is to the point, but very entertaining. I would recommend it to everyone!
Let the revolution begin!.......2007-01-12
An excellent perspective on how we often sell out the true call of our faith for a consumer substitute. A challenge to guard against being so lulled by the comforts and trappings of suburban-American life that we literally begin to mix values that don't belong in our faith. That's called syncretism and as The Jesus of Suburbia makes clear, it's a big mistake.
To take the vision of this book seriously would lead to a beautiful living out of our faith as followers of Christ in the midst of our culture. This is excellent and accessible material that you can easily use in a small-group setting or to inform your teaching. As a pastor myself, I highly recommend it.
You may also be interested in learning more about ROCKHARBOR Church in Costa Mesa, CA where Mike Erre is the Teaching Pastor. It is a community of faith striving to live it's values in impressively unique ways despite it's location in the plush sun-drenched mall-topia of Orange County. If anyone has authority to speak of the challenges of truly being the Church in suburbia, it is Mike Erre with ROCKHARBOR as a living example.
A Good View of the Kingdom concept.......2007-01-10
Once you get around the tackiness of the "suburbia" theme, you can appreciate what Mike Erre is trying to do. His description of the two kingdoms (what's Caesar's and what's God's) is illuminating. He helps understand Christianity as an open door rather than a closed theology.
insightful and provocative.......2006-12-24
Mike Erre's book takes a look at the Jesus that has been created by modern religion and questions how true that view of him really is. This is a wonderful book with many unique insights that provoke the reader to consider the source of their beliefs and challenge him/her to action.
