Fit for Life by Harvey Diamond and Marilyn Diamond (1987, Paperback, Reissue)

Would you believe 50 pounds GONE in less than four months?? I am well into my fifth month using the Fit for Life principles, and I have exited the "plus" sizes, this time for good! The book is interesting reading, and although the authors may seem a bit, shall we say, overly zealous and perhaps just a little bit south of normal, you really can't argue with success--and not just success, but super, over-the-top, WOW!! success. Fit for Life is really a new way of living, in eating healthy food and enjoying it, and changing your entire outlook about not only how and what you eat, but WHEN you should or should not eat certain foods. They offer a month's worth of menu planning to get you started, but I have found that simply by applying the basic principles of the plan, you can easily create your own eating style. You can even go out to restaurants and enjoy a wonderful variety of foods, and still stay on the plan. No more measuring portions, counting calories, or starving yourself! I am happy to be able to say that THIS PLAN CAN WORK FOR ANYONE! I know this is true, because it works for me, and I am a tough case!!! Give this book a read, test drive the program for a couple of weeks, and I think you'll be joyfully surprised at the results, not only in weight loss, but in your energy level and attitude! What have you got to lose, except that excess poundage?? GO FOR IT!

This is the best way of eating that makes the most sense. It is easy to follow and, if you need to, you will lose weight quickly and permanently as long as you follow this way of eating. There is no calorie counting and you are not limited in what you can eat. Instead, it explains how the body functions and the correct combination of food.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in good health.

Best book of it's kind ever written - should be in school. A common sense approach to food, even if someone is not over weight; and a God send if they are.

This is the first of the books in the Fit for Life Series - you need it to really understand what the series is all about. The lifestyle changes suggested are realistic and the suggested foods are reasonably priced and easy to obtain without expensive trips to the healthfood store. It is safe for any type health problem and I would highly recommend this book as a beginning to read if you are ready to take charge of your health. I found it very easy to follow.

Extremely well written with a sense of humor added to what could potentially a dry piece of work....I already own two copies of this book but wanted to read it again and both of mine are in storage....I have purchased one of his later works and do not find the preventative approach to disease nearly as riveting... this one also offers suggested meal plans to make changing life styles more managable
