Once upon a time I collected diets--and diet books. I'm chucking this one. Because despite the M. D. after his name I smell quack and junk science--not solid research. Because I'm on to the key to fad diets is to make certain foods, even very healthy ones villains (like oranges, carrots, peas, pumpkin) and others the hero. (Salmon! Salmon! Salmon!) Also, beware the diet doctor who wants you to buy their special products. I felt like this book was one long commercial. It doesn't get an even lower rating because in terms of nutty diets, this probably won't do (much) harm--and even has some good suggestions. Certainly it is true that eating salmon with its heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and berries with their cancer-fighting antioxidants are good things (if pricey--although not as pricey as his supplements and creams). But then, you know, oranges and pumpkins are superfoods too.
