This book is life changing. I have spent my life in a diet mentality. Everything in this book makes so much sense. I can really hear the "author's voice" and eventhough this book is as big as a college textbook, it reads like a novel. It is jammed pack with healthy easy recipes, success stories, and meal plans. I am ready to also read Bill's other book, Body for Life. Here's to a healthy life.

DIdn't really provide any nutritional info. The recipe section was the best part, but even those will have to be modified. I was surprised to see white flour and sugar substitutes included in the ingredients.

The book part is not overly impressive, though the recipes were just the right place to start leaning how to make a decent meal.

Oh, and if you make the enchiladas, use green sauce.

I've read my fair share of diet and health books in my day but this is my hands-down favorite. It's a big book and is only available in hardback but is worth every penny. Bill Phillips discusses food, America's problems with it, diets and the problems with those, and then the simple guidelines to: eat for life. The rest of the book shows before and after stories of those who have followed his diet and exercise regime (book: Body for Life) as well as a whole, whole lot of great, easy-breezy recipes with pretty pictures.

I couldn't recommend this enough. It's what I needed to read, hear and know; and I thought I'd read, heard and knew it all.

Not very many vegetarian meals, but I swapped tofu for chicken in many. The Tortilla Avocado soup is crowd pleaser. Great 'healthy' dessert recipes. I love chocolate pudding!
