Fit for Life: Not Fat for Life
Source: Harvey Diamond
MSRP: $14.95 Average Cost: $10.50
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. Because 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 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 leadto both overweight and poor health becoming conditions of the past.

Fit for Life the Simple Way
The premise of this book is very simple. The caveat is that there is a difference between simple and easy. Over the intervening years since the original book he has refined his ideas and his writing has improved. He is concise and his explanations are clear. Anyone who reads this and applies the principles will be successful. Since I lost 30 pounds with the original book, I have gained much more because I did not continue to follow the principles he presents here. The times in my life I’ve had the most energy and felt the best were when I followed his principles and those of the Atkins diet. What they share is their simplicity and their emphasis on fresh simply prepared foods. The challenge is to practice the principles long enough for them to become habits so you do not just grab whatever is convenient due to a harried schedule. That is why this diet is simple but not easy.
There is much more emphasis on healthy eating these days so it should be much easier to follow the simple guidance given here. As long as you remember to consume live food to live a health life you will be on the right track. Add a modicum of moderate exercise regularly and you will be set. These days you can get a salad at the drive through but you still have to make time to eat it. For the best result, walk or ride your bike to the grocery store instead!

Fit for Life: Not Fat for Life
I would recommend this book to anyone that is wanting to loose weight or is already on their weight loss journey.
Back in September I went on the Weight Watchers program. I since have lost eighty pounds and am close to goal. I picked up this book a while back to help with my weight loss journey.
At first I was a little turned off by the living food, dead food wording. But as I read farther into the book I got over the wording and saw the meaning behind this.
Our body is a machine and we really need to put the right fuel into our system. This is something that they talk about in the book. We only get one body and we need to take the best care of it. We need the right fuel and this book helps you to find those right fuels for your machine.
