The concept of this book is amazing .. since reading " The Starch Solution by Dr. John Mcdougall " and " The Secret to ultimate weight loss by Chef AJ " I went fat-free whole plant based vegan and my health is thanking me for it, I saw a couple of Dr. Ornish speeches in YouTube and for some reason I don't get convinced by his arguments until I hear someone else say them !!Oct 06, 2014

The only limiting factor to enjoying this type of eating would be one's imagination!

This is a very, very restricted diet, yet very much not a fad diet. It's actually backed by science, and Doctor Ornish actually is well known in the medical community for being able to reverse blockages to the heart using diet, instead of surgery or drugs. So this actually isn't snake oil, but rooted in science, and the focus of the diet isn't actually losing weight, but getting healthy. The down side? Well, this diet bans meat, poultry, fish and seafood--which may be fine for vegetarians, but This is a very, very restricted diet, yet very much not a fad diet.

Well, this diet bans meat, poultry, fish and seafood--which may be fine for vegetarians, but hard on the rest of us. He also bans avocados and nuts and seeds--which would also be hard on vegetarians. And is arguably unnecessary, because as noted in a review of the diet on WebMD:Mar 08, 2011

If the ingredients list for each recipe in this book didn't have 15-20 ingredients or they weren't expensive foods, or if it didn't look like you'd spend literally all your spare time in the kitchen making these healthy meals, it might have been easier for me to be interested in this program; after all, the author has a lot of great points, and really most of it seems like common sense. But I don't have lots of money or lots of time. So I will have to look for something a little more practical If the ingredients list for each recipe in this book didn't have 15-20 ingredients or they weren't expensive foods, or if it didn't look like you'd spend literally all your spare time in the kitchen making these healthy meals, it might have been easier for me to be interested in this program; after all, the author has a lot of great points, and really most of it seems like common sense.

This was my introduction to the idea of lowfat/high bulk eating, and for that I will always be grateful. The text portion of the book is easy to read and understand.Jun 17, 2012
I probably would have rated this book higher if it wasn't for the most part, a cookbook (250 pages of recipes). Then again, maybe not. I used to be a meat-eater and then suddenly after reading "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman, I went vegan--just like that! I still eat the occasional meal with cheese or fish because it's extremely difficult to go out to eat without eating ANYthing animal-related, and vegan cheese is just gross! But I'm at least 90% vegan and feeling much healthier for doing so.Jan 19, 2010
Well, it is a serious life style change to adopt this program, but so far it has more or less been quite advantageous! I have lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks, and inches as well, which I have recorded each week, and will continue to do so. I have pledged 30 lbs to Biggest Loser's Feed America food bank program. I truly feel Dr. Ornish has nothing but wonderful and helpful information in this book. It is a matter of choosing a new lifestyle and adapting to it. Some take to it right away and love it.

I truly feel Dr. Ornish has nothing but wonderful and helpful information in this book. It is a matter of choosing a new lifestyle and adapting to it. Some take to it right away and love it. A bit more difficult for me, but we are learning and adding new dishes as we go along. It is hard with a very thin teen and a husband who can maintain his weight without much difficulty, because we all need different fat and calorie amounts, and my son and husband aren't into it taking control over their health. So, the burden falls to me, and it also takes away from what I'm doing. But I'm doing the best I can. This way of eating has addresses many moral, medical and modern society issues, it opens your mind to where we are as a culture, and how we can help ourselves and the environment at the same time. ...moreJun 02, 2013
I read this book 2 years ago. I hadn't had a chance to write back to Dr. Ornish to give him a feedback, but the steps I took really did take a long time as he said he would. Watching what I eat, how much I've eaten and knowing full well what I'm eating has certainly made a significant difference. I've not gained a lot of weight but I've certainly kept the weight I needed it to be.Sep 09, 2012
A very readable book with a lot of good information, but almost every recipe is a gourmet creation requiring lots of ingredients, some very obscure, and lots of prep time. Still, the few recipes I tried were healthy and delicious, and many are easily adapted for vegans, though some recipes do include non-fat dairy products and egg whites.Jan 24, 2008
This is a fun read, surprisingly enough! I learned a lot about eating habits, how they are formed and how they can be improved to live more healthfully. He also has some really good recipes, although they can be a little involved.Jan 03, 2013
This was the book that showed me how to cook without fat. It saved me after I spent a week in the hospital with a gallbladder attack.Dec 31, 2013
