I cannot believe a person has the guts to write so much unreasearched delusions about a lifestyle that works so well.

I read book 2 Living health and I found extensive reasearch to back all of Harveys claims. Had she red the ” ton of rhetoric ” she would have found all the proof she claims is not present.

I put it to the test and I found all the most incredible claims to be true. My wife didn’t have any pms or pmt after she got onto the plan. Both our weights found its healthy spot and stabilized their. My physical strength more than doubled.

Are we Shure Maureen does not work for a company caled “Sick for profit” or something?

I used to model back in the day. I booked a huge job in Miami Beach and had to get in shape quickly. The photographer sent me a copy of this book. He said he always gets the models to go on this diet before he shoots with them. Within two weeks my body had completely. changed. This works! I didn't care about the scale but my tight jeans were much looser in no time. This diet has changed my life and made my body the size it's suppose to be. And I can eat BREAD!! :) I’m 24yrs old, 5′9, and 130lbs. I used to model back in the day. I booked a huge job in Miami Beach and had to get in shape quickly.

I didn't - but Diamond says they have a failure rate of about 10%, almost always those who have had their appendix out (that's me)or hysterectomies. However, my skin got much better, my sinuses too (even though I didn't ever eat much dairy), my vitality improved and I went through monopause without even noticing it. Not bad.

Lots of wonderful recipes and background information, superbly presented. It was first published in 1990.

I don't care if oracles from outer space dropped in and gave it to him. It works. Like others here, when I was in my twenties I lost about 40 pounds on that diet plan and never felt better in my life despite lots of bad lifestyle habits at the time. I remained on that diet for two years, then abandoned it when I married someone who ate the way I used to eat. It was very easy to follow the diet as a single person, but a bit tougher as a married person with weak willpower. Needless to say, the weight creeped back on, and at age 48 I found myself 50 pounds overweight and felt absolutely horrible. I have tried all of the other diets out there with no success, so I am back on Fit For Life again and losing weight and feeling better. With all of the international cuisine at our disposal today it is much easier to eat healthfully. I encourage anyone to give it a try. Who cares if the science behind it is quackery? The diet isn't dangerous and would be a dramatic improvement over the current SAD (Standard American Diet.) BTW, nowhere in "Fit For Life" does the suggestion to "chew juice" appear.

I see she is also an author of many books herself, so this awesome book of nutritional wisdom might just be taking money out of her pocket. Look at all the reviews here, including my earlier one, and BELIEVE in this approach to eating. It WILL make you feel better and you WILL lose weight if you follow it.....Honest!!!!!

One small cup, black with evaporated cane juice, in the morning 1/2 hour before fruit. Second cup between meals in the afternoon with Splenda and half and half (which I believe is neutral). Kristina,
