Fit for Life: A New Beginning

I have read Fit For Life and Fit for Life 2 and Harvey Diamond has knocked another one out of the park. After recent health decline from not following these principles for a few years I knew right where to turn for help, having read and followed this program in the past. I have returned to the program with new energy and health and thanks to the encouragement and help from this new book I hope to have a much better quality of life for many years to come. The examples of others in this book and the new information have been enlightening and very encouraging to me. My husband is also reaping the benefits and though not following the program totally has renewed vigor. He says I am slowly converting him. Thanks Harvey and Marilyn. Keep it coming.

I learned a lot about the good and bad things I have been eating and drinking for most of my life. Everyone that cares about their health should read this book. After you are done with this book, read Fit For Life. You will learn soooo much and probably live longer than you would have otherwise. I loved these books so much, I listened to them on Audible and then bought them in print. Read Them Now!

I am pretty well informed, regarding health issues, etc., so I hesitated when this book was highly recommended to me. It was definately worthwhile reading. I learned a few new things, and had some other's confirmed. Go for it...a real "bargain". I even decided to purchase another one for a friend.

I read the first edition of 'Fit for Life' (FFL) /1985/ back in 1988. I followed the eating designs for 6 months and lost over 40 lbs but kept the weight off for over 3 years. In the meantime 21 years have lapsed and so has my health. I was just diagnosed with the early stages of kidney disease, followed the same outline (but 'FFL A New Beginning' has sooo much better info!) and lost 25 lbs in under 30 days. I'm convinced I can halt any further kidney damage. You can do this too! I highly recommend reading both books, but if you read 'A New Beginning' carefully you should be just fine. There are 7 Stages of Disease before cancer arises. You can stop cancer from happening as long as you catch it in the first 6 stages, once it enters into stage 7 there's not much you can do. All of this accomplished by eating properly, the way God designed the body to function. Just do it! Be warned...this book will shatter every single piece of food advice we ever heard growing up, but it works, I feel great and my energy level is increasing and I'm losing weight. Just be patient and let your body heal itself, you won't regret it. This is the best $12 you'll ever spend in your life! The best $38 a month I spend is sponsoring a child through the christian ministry of Compassion International! [...]

The Diamonds are very knowlegeable about weight loss. And I was curious to see if any new information had been added since I purchased the original book over 15 years ago. Although this version does offer some helpful information on fitness and exercise, it does not provide as much detail. In comparison, I still prefer the original version because it provides a more in-depth explanation about the relationship and importance of food combinations as well as how long it takes the body to digest various foods. Understanding the food principles alone is worth buying the original version.

Read this years ago and happy to find this new version.

A lot of concepts were not new to me in this book but I’ve been on an health and healing journey for several years. I’ve started having mono meals at least a few time a week. Although different than how he defines it in this book. I believe it to be one fruit at a time not a combination. However I love the idea of doing this periodically throughout the year for week at a time to give digestion a break a clean out lymph.

I bought this book along with a couple of other vegan type “ how to “ books. It is chalked up with tons of information and the science as well. Definitely a book to have in my library to help me stay on track to hopefully beat heart disease, fatty, liver, and diabetes type 2 at age 60!

His first book was good. This is a total sales pitch

I highly recommend this book

Good book and advice. If you have read the China Study then perhaps there is no need to read this.

This was a bit disappointing, as much of it seemed to be a rehash of his earlier work.

Love this book. Never rec'd the paper copy
