There is only one concept to grasp and only one action to take: Eat more living food than dead food. The simplicity of this message has eluded people up to now. In fact, it may seem oversimplified. Fit for Life Not Fat for Life of past frustrations and disappointments, people have come to believe that losing weight is complicated, difficult and expensive. Truth be told, all that is required to There is only one concept to grasp and only one action to take: Eat more living food than dead food. Truth be told, all that is required to reap the myriad benefits of Harvey Diamond's program is to return to the fundamentals of life. The human body is intelligent and capable beyond anyone's comprehension, but in order to unleash this extraordinary intelligence-including that which normalizes body weight-the proper fuel is required. That fuel is living food. But for some inexplicable reason, people have allowed themselves to believe that they can give their bodies the wrong fuel and then have it operate at optimum efficiency. And that is why most people become overweight. This book offers not a diet, but a lifelong way of eating that allows the eating experience to remain a joyous one, rather than a clinical endeavor of measuring portions, counting calories, calculating grams of fat, carbohydrates and protein, or ingesting meal replacements. It teaches readers how to eat any food in the most healthful way so there is no feeling of deprivation. As readers embark on this life-changing journey, they will experience the surge of energy and well-being that only comes as the automatic result of properly fueling their bodies. Providing deliberate, gentle and forgiving guidance every step of the way, this book will become readers' trusted source and companion as they create a new way of eating and living, which will lead to both overweight and poor health becoming conditions of the past.

May 10, Charlotte Dauphin rated it did not like it. I read this hoping to learn something about nutrition and the raw food movement. When he finally did make a point, he backed it up with so much ignorance and pseudo science that I actually got mad. Like spitting mad. Anyway, it gave me a good smoothie recipe Very Practical Advice Wonderfully written. Love the quotes. Recipes for frozen fruit smoothies would have been nice. Will start tomorrow Excellent health advice through the true source of nutrition Mr. Diamond earned his voice through hard work and research. A great edition to one's Truth Library. Jun 01, Teacatweaves rated it did not like it. What a waste of time. May 08, Hilary Roberts rated it really liked it Shelves: health. I learned a lot from this book. I've tried implementing some of the suggestions and have noticed an energy increase. The author talks a lot about when to eat various foods to help your body use them correctly and get the most out of them. For example - fruit for breakfast without anything else so your stomach can digest it and get immediate energy from it. This is one of those books that is full of very useful information, but I will need to apply the information a little at a time. Mar 05, Sylwia rated it liked it. Interesting point of view and he has a lot of Fit for Life Not Fat for Life. Some of the facts are too contradictory to my believs for me to fully accept plus I don't want to follow blindly every new book i read so i need to digest all this for some time. But he has some points and even taking just the grain from it may proove to be beneficial. Apr 12, Ruth rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: not anyone.

Readers also enjoyed. About Harvey Diamond. Fit For Life Review (UPDATE: ) | 24 Things You Need to Know It's baaack! After Fit for Life Not Fat for Life weeks on The New York Times best-seller list in the mid-'80s and with 12 million books sold, Harvey Diamond has reintroduced his Fit for Life Not Fat for Life for Life" philosophy of food combining for weight loss. Heavy on text, the new tome, Fit for Life: Not Fat for Life HCI,offers detailed discussions on topics ranging from eating to environmentalism to spiritualism. Dieters who want recipes, menus, or more details about food combining will need to refer back to the original "Fit For Life" books or cookbooks that Diamond and his now-ex-wife, Marilyn, first produced. Diamond likes to say his plan isn't complicated. There's just one rule: "Eat more living food than dead food. Dieters who are into the Fit for Life Not Fat for Life routine are in for some dramatic changes. And while it makes sense not to chug a glass of fruit juice in two gulps, Diamond's advice about "chewing juice" so it doesn't disrupt the digestive system is just plain strange. First, there are "dead foods" meats and Fit for Life Not Fat for Lifewhich tax the digestion system and zap energy. Then there are "living foods" raw fruits and vegetableswhich aid in digestion. To keep fit and to promote weight loss, dieters need to strike a balance between the two. You must also follow certain "food combining" rules, since improper food pairings are supposedly toxic and can make you fat. For example, dieters can't eat proteins and starches together. And forget eating fruit with other foods. It's fruit or fruit juices from the early-morning hours up until noon. For lunch and dinner, it's live foods salads and a dead food protein or starch— not both. Portions are not measured. Diamond now has a Fit for Life Not Fat for Life site that sells nutritional supplements to go along with the diet. Fruits and vegetables galore—just don't eat them together. Steaks, chops, chicken, seafood, pasta, and potatoes are OK—just don't combine the starch and meat. And make room for big salads at lunch and dinner. Use moderate amounts of salad dressing, preferably the kind without chemical additives. By the way, all this info is in Diamond's new book, but be prepared to sift through a ton of rhetoric to find it. Not really. On the surface the diet sounds good since so much of it is about eating fruits and vegetables. Yet it's way too loose regarding the kinds of starches carbs and meats you should choose, making it possible to either shortchange yourself or overeat. The omission of dairy foods means you may not get enough calcium, particularly since there are absolutely no indications of which veggies are calcium rich. Also problematic: Diamond's advice that it's OK to drink juice and eat fruit all day. There's no way that an all-fruit diet will provide the nutrients you need.

  • Fit for Life-The Diamond Method
    FIT FOR LIFE-THE DIAMOND METHOD The basic foundation of natural hygiene is that the body is always striving for health and that it achieves this by continuously cleansing itself of deleterious waste material. The body is self-cleansing, self-healing, and self-maintaining. The human body ceaselessly strives to be fit. The secret is to learn how to facilitate the process rather than thwart it. The Dietary Goals for the United States, prepared by the staff of the Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, United States Senate, states: As a nation we have come to believe that medicine and medical technology can solve our major health problems. The role of such important factors as diet in cancer and heart disease has long been obscured by the emphasis on the conquest of these diseases through the miracles of modern medicine. Treatment, not prevention, has been the order of the day. The problems can never be solved merely b y more and more medical care. The health of individuals and the health of the population is determined by a variety of biological, behavioural, and environmental factors. NONE OF THESE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FOODS WE EAT. The NATURAL BODY CYCLES noon to 8 pm - appropriation (eating and digestion) 8 pm to 4 am - assimilation (absorption and use) 4 am to noon - elimination (of body wastes and food debris) METABOLIC IMBALANCE A situation of toxemia in the system lays the foundation for putting on excess weight. By keeping your system toxin-free you significantly increase your chance of having a comfortable body weight, because excesses of toxins in the body are the forerunners of obesity.

    Keep fit for life Meeting the nutritional needs of older persons World Health Tufts University Organization School of Nutrition and Policy Keep fit for life: meeting the nutritional needs of older people ANNEX 1 Ageing and Health Report by the WHO Secretariat1 At its fifty-fourth session in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly decided to convene a second world assembly on ageing in order to review the outcome of the first World Assembly on Ageing (Vienna 1982). WHO participated actively in all the preparatory meetings. As its principal technical contribution to the Second World Assembly on Ageing (Madrid, 8 to 12 April 2002), WHO introduced its policy framework on active ageing,2 which focuses on such areas as: •preventing and reducing the burden of disabilities, chronic disease and premature mortality; •reducing the risk factors associated with noncommunicable diseases and functional decline as individuals age, while increasing factors that protect health; • enacting policies and strategies that provide a continuum of care for people with chronic illness or disabilities; •providing training and education to formal and informal carers; • ensuring the protection, safety and dignity of ageing individuals; • enabling people as they age to maintain their contribution to economic development, to activity in the formal and informal sectors, and to their communities and families. The Assembly adopted two documents: the Political Declaration and the International Plan of Action on Ageing 2002. In the Political Declaration,3 governments expressed their commitment to act at national and international levels on three priority directions: older persons and development; advancing health and well-being into old age; and ensuring enabling and supportive environments.
