Amazon.com Review "It is not only what you eat that makes the difference, but also of extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations," say Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of this classic bestseller. Their program results in eating balanced, nutritious, high-fiber foods, making dieting "unnecessary and as obsolete as sealing wax." The Diamonds explain that body functions have a daily cycle: noon to 8 p.m.-- appropriation (eating and digestion); 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.--assimilation (absorption and use); 4 a.m. to noon--elimination (of body wastes and food debris). Fit for Life aims to return you to a lifestyle based on your natural body cycles. That means 70 percent of your diet should be "high-water-content foods"--fruits and vegetables--which facilitate all body functions. Consume nothing but fruit or fruit juice until noon, then eat salad and vegetables with every meal for the rest of the day. Two-thirds of the book is explanation and discussion; one-third is menu plans and recipes. You won't be hungry, your food choices will be healthy, and you'll lose weight without dieting. --Joan Price

Fit for Life by Diamonds November 17, 2009 Pattie Frazer (Chula Vista, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My neighbor has been on the Fit for Life diet for about two months with good results. She lent me her book and then I ordered other copies for myself and friends. It seems like a good way to go even though I do not have a weight problem--lots of fruits and vegetables. I am going to give it a try.
good experience October 29, 2009 Y. Lovering (E-town, KY) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this product in a timely manner and it was in great shape. Overall, it was a good experience.
Really good vegetarian recipes October 6, 2009 Im Scarlet (CA) While this book has a few meat dishes the majority are vegetarian. I have several vegetarian cookbooks on my shelf but when I want something I know I'll eat because its delicious I have to go to Fit for Life. I have had it in paperback for years but needed a more sturdy hardback for the cookbook stand. These recipes are really good. Other strictly veggie cookbooks may be healthy but the recipes don't entice me and they end up sitting on my shelf. My parents are not vegetarians and when they first did this diet 20 years ago they raved about it.
fir for life September 19, 2009 Joan Craig (oakland, ca) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this is a new idea in eating plans (new to me). plan requires a change of eating habits, but is very effective. don't have emergency hunger pangs, and have lost 13+ pounds in a few months. would recommend to anyone. love having nothing but fruit until noon.
i don't have to rush around to fix breakfast. i can get on with my day and eat breakfast around noon, then lunch around 2 or 3 when i used to get very hungry. then i eat a well-rounded meal instead of snacking desperately.
there is also a very good cookbook by one of the authors, harvey's wife, marilyn, (although they are not married any more, they are still friends), that includes some of the recipes in the original book, and many, many more. ("the american vegitarian cookbook from the fit for life kitchen" by marilyn diamond) published more recently.
i recommend both books heartily as they have made a vast difference in the way i eat and the way i feel.
