The Mediterranean Heart Diet: How It Works and How to Reap the Health Benefits, with Recipes to Get You Started
All about the Mediterranean Diet, from guiding principles to specific recipes, for people who want to improve their health by improving their eating habits. Most people know that a Mediterranean-style diet is “good for them,” but many lack the information that determines the diet’s success. The Mediterranean Heart Diet does what most doctors who recommend the diet don’t: spells out which foods are “out” and which are “in,” and why.
Doctors recommend a Mediterranean eating style to thousands who are diagnosed each year with heart disease because it is “heart-healthy”-it promotes lower saturated-fat consumption, and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
It is an all-purpose style of eating that also benefits those at risk of developing certain cancers and those with a diabetic condition, because it is high in antioxidant-rich foods and whole grains. The Mediterranean Heart Diet not only provides a full range of satisfying recipes but also covers the science behind the diet’s health benefits. Readers learn to create their own healthful eating plans and establish new habits.
More than 140 delicious recipes are included, from satisfying Lentil and Broccoli Soup to tangy Halibut in Citrus Sauce. All recipes feature nutritional analysis by serving, including food exchanges.
Customer Review: Faulty Information
This is an absolutley “terrible” book. It first tells you what the Mediterranean Diet was many years and and how it is so helpful - THEN it tells you how to make bread with WHITE ALL-PURPOSE BREAD FLOUR. WHAT A STUPID BOOK. Then it goes on to tell you how to update the diet with new technology learned over the last century. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR SHOULD BE DOING = THEY SHOULD BE TELLING YOU WHAT THE DIET “WAS” NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR THINKS IT SHOULD BE. And as an added “insult” they tell you to stop smoking. Do you think the Mediterranean”s “Smoked”. Of course, and they were living longer than anybody on earth. What arrogance.
Customer Review: Great Heart Diet
This is a diet that the average person can live with and lose weight with for the rest of their lives. It isn’t fast but steady, you’re not hungry and you can have veggies and fruits, and pastas, chicken & fish. And occassionaly dessert and red meat. I only wish there were more sample menues or more about portions. I am losing weight at about 2 or 3 lbs. weeks and I love it!

The pH Miracle for Weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight 
Building on the success of their first book, the best-selling The pH Miracle, in this book Dr. Young and his wife turn their attention to what is considered by many health experts as America’s number one health crisis#151;the growing numbers of people who are seriously overweight or obese. Contrary to other popular weight loss books, most notably those, such as The Atkins’ Diet and The South Beach Diet, that tout a low-carbohydrate approach to achieving weight loss, the Youngs maintain that the primary culprit behind excessive weight gain, as well as many other health problems, is a chronic state of acidity in the body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s chemistry to a more alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the loss of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue. The goal outlined by the Youngs in this book is to replace dieting with a 12-week, seven-step program that is intended to not only rejuvenate the entire body by replacing current blood cells with blood cells “at the peak of health,” but also to create an ongoing lifestyle that will permanently keep off the pounds that were shed during the 12-week period. In addition to a rich section on eating tips to create more alkalinity in the body (complete with an extensive list of recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus), the book also covers the importance of adequate water drinking, proper exercise, important nutritional supplements, learning how to manage thoughts and emotions that can contribute to acidity, goal-setting, and, for optimum results, a two-week cleansing program. In support of the program, the book also includes a collection of testimonials from people who have achieved significant weight loss on the program#151;further backed up by before-and-after photographs. With an increasing number of health professionals now emphasizing the importance of proper pH to overall health, the information this book presents is both timely and fairly easy to implement.

Customer Review: Great book and information!
Anyone who wants to live a heathly life owes it to their self to due some research. There are many reasons why Ph is so veyr important, there are doctors in other countries treating (curing…) cancer with Ph methods and yet the good ole’ American Medical system doesn’t allow any information on products that they can not profit from. Do your own research and you will confirm this. Yes the book’s diet will be extreme to most people, well duh, that’s why most are overwieght, sick and dying because this is not their diet, this isn’t on the fast food menus and no it’s in a TV dinner, ye sit requires effort, you you can listen to the everyday doctors and just take some new pill to suppress the symtoms and get worse.. Eat healthly live longer, your choice you decide!
Customer Review: Too many loop holes!
When i first started reading this book, i was intrigued, but now not so much. The book is a good read, but I believe Dr. Young needs to do more research and no be so bias. Being a vegatarian is not right for everyone. For instance, O blood types need meat for optimal health(organic is always the best), where as A’s do not do well with meat. Those who got good results from following his style of eating may have gotten great results because they are A types which is 40% of the population in the world. Also, he suggests taking clay during the 2 week cleanse, which is great but has no idea how and when it should be taken. Clay needs to be taken away from other supplements and food otherwise the clay may bind to the minerals and vitamins and expel them out of the body. Also, avacados are a great source of nutrition, but not for all blood types. For those of you who don’t believe in the eating right for your blood type should do the research and see that the priniple was and is applied to OM(Oriental medicine) which is at least 4000 years old. The koreans use it to, who are aware of it. The thing that really pissed me off is how Dr. Young acts like only his products are the best. He defitnetly is a great business man, who needs to continue educating himself in order to deliver correct information to the people.
