About this audiobook
In this newly updated and repackaged follow-up to Fit For Life, one of the bestselling diet books of all time, nutritional specialist Harvey Diamond teaches readers how to live a long healthful life by making smart dietary changes, adopting a clean diet, and offering a blueprint for optimal health, pain-free living, increased energy and weight loss without deprivation.
Did you know that on average each one of us will consume approximately seventy tons of food in our lifetime? The amount of time, effort, and energy necessary to obtain, prepare, and consume all that food, plus the effort of your body to break it down, extract, and utilize what you need from it, and eliminate the rest, represents a hugely significant portion of your time on this planet. This book demystifies and simplifies the entire subject, while empowering you to know that you and you alone are in control of whether you live your life in good or ill health.
Through intelligent dietetic decisions, you can harness the powerful healing energy of food. Step by step, in simple, understandable language, readers learn what pain, ill health, and disease really are, how and why they occur, and how they can be avoided. The book explains all you need to know about the single most important ally you have, your body's lymph system, the heart and soul of the immune system and the mechanism in your body whose explicit job and function is to keep you well. The secret to long-term, vibrant health lies in the understanding of the lymph system and what steps you can take to support its activities, not thwart them.
This ultimate diet and health plan is a comprehensive, cutting-edge program to reduce weight, lower cholesterol, combat serious diseases, and maintain vitality. More than a review of diseases such as cancer or how to manage them, this important book makes the strategic transition from treatment to prevention. People are increasingly taking responsibility for decisions concerning their health. Fit for Life: A New Beginning empowers the individual to make health-care decisions that are based on personal research; indeed, it accelerates this process. While it does discuss diagnosis and treatment, its real message is that you can prevent disease.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book, I loved it. Would also recommend reading the original as this books seems to be an extension of the first one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book. I am just not too sure about the aggressive vpnutrition marketing at the end. I would haveiked if he had given few other options instead of focusing only on vpnutrition. Rest I like everything in the book and priceless advice
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must read for maintaining your health. I found it so easy to understand what is going on with my body.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Half of this book is filled with recipes that are tasty and easy to make, contributed by Marilyn Diamond. The other half is written by Harvey Diamond, who has found a sure way to stay healthy and slim. They have a lot of important things to tell you, how to eat and when, how to combine foods, how to detoxify your body, menus for healthy vegetarian meals, eating fruit properly. The only thing I find missing in the menus is grains, so I add them. This diet comes so naturally and is so easy to adopt. You learn to make choices and love the right kinds of food. It's that easy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you are interested in learning about a healthier way of eating, then this book is for you. I bought this book when it was first published in the mid 1980′s. It is not a diet, but rather a modification of the way you eat. Yes, you will lose weight, but you will also feel better and have more energy. You can do as much or as little modification of your diet as you choose. While the authors stress a meat-free diet, and the underlying message is that a vegetarian or vegan diet is healthier, they recognize that not all of us can do a vegetarian diet and include recipes with meat and fish.The criticisms of this program is that it lacks scientific backing. I don’t find that to be a concern; this is not a diet plan where you are taking pills or steered into unhealthy eating. You make as much or as little change to your diet to lose weight, gain energy and feel good. You will not be hungry on the Fit For Life program.One of the permanent lifestyle changes I made from reading this book was to eat fruit in the morning and to stop eating heavy, calorie filled foods like pastry for breakfast. Okay, a few times a year I still have my bacon and pancakes, but the majority of the time I have fruit. The immediate result was to lose 5 pounds and it has stayed off and I feel better. I have incorporated many of the suggestions in this book into my diet and occasionally still refer back to it as a reference.
