Summary: A little vague
Comment: Is more of the same. I learn about the niacin test, something new for me, but for the rest, is just a review of the metabolic theory.

Summary: Buyer: Beware the Niacin Test in this book!
Comment: This book is packed with interesting information/ideas,some of which aren't frequently printed in other diet books--such as using potato water to curb appetite, coconut water to alkalinize the body, and eating right for your meat eater/vegetable eater metabolism, depending upon how acidic your stomach fluids are. But beware the Niacin Test to determine that acidity or lack of it! The author recommends 50 mg. Niacin to determine if one is a meat or vegetable eater. Some people get a flushing reaction, feel heat, get a rash, or get "vaginal discomfort" with that amount and are meat eaters, the author says. No reaction means one is chiefly a vegetarian/fish eater. What isn't stated in the book is that some people get a reaction to Niacin if it exceeds about 38 mg., a "safe" amount listed in some nutrition books. Also, the "vaginal discomfort" one gets can be a disruption of the normal internal envionment and result in yeast overgrowth, including Candidis yeast overgrowth! The author doesn't state this directly but happens to mention in her book that Candidis yeast overgrowth is sometimes very difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of and that antibiotics often have to be tried and that, even then, the overgrowth stays in one's system and doesn't go away. Unfortunately, because the author doesn't spell it out (possibly to keep book sales up there?), not every woman reading the book will understand that she is running the risk of having this happen to her and thus of running up all kinds of medical/pharmaceutical bills to solve a yeast/bacterial overgrowth problem. And sometimes rashes, too, have to be treated to make them go away. Another problem is that someone who has no reaction at 50mg. of Niacin might be tempted to try more and then develop all of the foregoing problems. The author says the "vaginal discomfort" problem occurs in "some women," and this wording seems to imply "not the majority"; however, bacteria/yeast are part of the female internal environment. Just how many women did the author study before seeming to imply, through wording, that this affects only some women? The test is the key to using the diets in the book and the recipes, so readers will be tempted to try it. My advice: Don't. Find out from your M.D. about the acidity of your stomach and go from there. Then you might be able to enjoy the truly splendid daily menu ideas for each type of diet and the recipes.

Summary: The diet book that finally answers my questions!
Comment: This is a wonderfully written book full of insights and useful information. and it's organized so well that it's easy to find what you're looking for.
Kliment explains why, because most of us are of mixed heritage, we need to take a simple self-test (it's in the book) to find out what foods we can digest and will provide the missing nutrients our bodies need.
One of the major problems the book addresses is why people let their hunger for calorie rich foods override their desire to stick to a wieght loss diet.
There are solid suggestions for preventing this from happening. One of them is potato broth, easy to make and pleasant to drink. I've been on it for two weeks and my huge appetitie is already showing signs of waning.
Because I have type 2 diabetes and arthritis, I've combined the menu plans in the book designed for these two health problems. They're jam packed with foods that studies have shown have a healing effect.
I'm so enthusiastic about this book because it answers questions I've had for years and have not found the answer to in any other diet book.
