I got this book out of the library after trying an awesome quinoa, cinnamon and berry recipe on the 101cookbooks blog.Aug 18, 2008
I learned some things about how and why we should be eating certain things, but if you are veggie, you're likely already eating that way. I did pick up some neat tips- like eating nuts before an upcoming high fat meal, or how cinnamon on your morning meal can help regulate blood sugar. BUT, I REALLY hated the way this was written. I just want the tips, not the fluff. Also, sex, affairs and divorce, show up a lot in the examples and explanations. Why? Each successive reference I read, made me I learned some things about how and why we should be eating certain things, but if you are veggie, you're likely already eating that way.

As a nurse practitioner I stand behind the theory in this book whole-heartedly. We PREVENT disease by eating whole, nutritious food. Many diseases can also be successfully TREATED by diet (the author includes an entire chapter on specific diet choices for particular diseases/ailments). I will gladly continue my healthful vegan diet to live a longer, healthier life without prescription medications. The book also includes many great recipes to help you get going.

I got this mostly for the recipes and found myself reading the rest of it, a bit irritated. Here's the thing: it's all good information, it's mostly accurate, he's done his research, but it's both overly informative and reductionist. He tosses out references to a dizzying array of antioxidants in every other sentence. It's a lot for the average reader to keep up with. And yet, while reading through the list of recommended foods, he cites the same study at least four or five times in a row.Jun 18, 2010
Lots of good information, not hyped information. A section of interesting recipes.Dec 05, 2008
I skimmed this one, some fun facts to know and tell. Cinnamon, yogurt and nuts are amazing foods. Some interesting looking recipes.Apr 02, 2013
Lots of good information however he offers little guidance for when multiple conditions call for consuming and avoiding a food item. Recipes are rather simplistic.Jul 26, 2012
Some good information. Nothing amazing. Nice discussion about that satiety of different foods. In general, eat real food, and not too much meat.Aug 15, 2013
Food is medicine. Use this information to get healthy or stay healthy. This should be mandatory information for all Doctors and every American household.Aug 22, 2012
Throw out everything the author says regarding soy & beef...but everything else was really goodAug 29, 2008
helpful, but like any other diet books, you have to make an effort to follow it and keep it as a lifestyle. but it doesn't hurt to get more knowledge in the diet/nutrition department.Apr 20, 2011
Now to implement a few more of these ideas. Already added quinoa, mangos, and jasmine while and brown rice to our diet.Jul 10, 2011
I started to read this book from cover to cover and knew I would just not be able to manager it. From what I did read though, it looked like there were some awesome tips to being healthier.Oct 28, 2008
This looked like it would be so interesting, but was really wasn't. It all felt like things I had read or thought about before. I've long felt like the way we eat hugely effects our health.Jul 27, 2008
La Puma hangs out with people like Michael Roizen and Dr. Oz so this book reflects their consistent message of taking control of your own health through the food choices you make. La Puma is a doctor and trained chef. Recipes are interesting, but not likely to appeal to ordinary people. Advice is sound, however, and comes across as very empowering.Sep 02, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. Some books about nutrition I find hard to get through even though I enjoy the topic. This book was filled with fun little facts about what's in the good foods we eat and how to eat combinations that will help us more. I think I may even want to buy this one since I'll never remember all the little facts in it.Dec 10, 2012
Not as useful or as engaging as I wanted it to be. Even though it explains some nutritional concepts in an easily understandable way, the recipes were a bit unappealing. The layout and design of the book is a bit boring. Not a bad addition to my health & nutrition collection, but not one I'll be referring to over & over.Nov 04, 2012
A doctor who became a chef writes a terrific resource for understanding many nutrition details. Not a diet or a book on dieting, but a book to learn how and why to get the most benefit from the foods we eat. There is even a section that lists which foods to eat and which to avoid for specific diseases and health concerns, and the right wines to go with all of it! I found myself taking lots of notes and creating a new grocery list of fun things to try.Aug 03, 2008
This book further emphasizes what I call the universal-rule-of good-health: Eat fruit and vegetables, drink water, and exercise.Apr 03, 2014
I love the concept of this book and am a firm believer that food can heal. However, I do not agree with some of the nutritional suggestions and use of certain processed items. The suggestion of breakfast cereal bothered me in this book for instance. I'd be much more receptive to the book if it had focused on ailments and how to treat them naturally (through food) if it omitted the section on diet plans etc. Prevention could have also been discussed in greater detail.Mar 06, 2013
A decent book written by an actual M.D. (I believe he is a GP) He seems like a good guy and has some advice on what to eat (whole foods-duh!) He has a menu plan, but I thought the most intersting part was toward the back where he has actual medical histories of patients and what diet modifications he prescribed and their outcomes. I need no more convincing- what we put in our bodies has profound and long reaching consequences for our health. Now if only I could summon the discipline to modify my A decent book written by an actual M.D. (I believe he is a GP) He seems like a good guy and has some advice on what to eat (whole foods-duh!)

I saw this author on Dr. Oz's TV show and was curious. I've explored the idea that food is medicine in herbology, Ayurveda or Fit for Life, but I respected the fact that Dr. La Puma backed up his recommendations for optimal health with medical studies and that he is, along with being a medical doctor, a trained chef. This guy really loves food (welcome to my world)! He's created some delicious recipes (the book includes a wide variety)and I've already sampled a few.

Useful information on nutrional value of certain foods. I think the list is lacking some essential foods such as quinoa or flax. I had the impression that the list was a little scewed towards the authors tastes and likings. I think the authors need to go back and update the list. Over the last years, many superfoods have emerged that deserve to be included. However, I agree with some other readers, he repeats himself. Once you get to number 15 or 20 you realize that antioxidants are good for Useful information on nutrional value of certain foods.

So yes, it was a little reduntant. The second half are recipes, which I thought sounded very good. I cooked one of them which was delicious. ...moreNov 01, 2016
