Reviews
"I started switching from animal protein to veggies about 2 years ago. Then about 3 months ago, I was recommended this book by a friend. Since I have started switching over to RAW foods, I have been physically happier, which makes Your mental state happier as well!
And it's quite obvious, "Eating for Energy"; the RAW foods I ate DID give me more energy!
I also have not been sick in ~2 years and it explains the whole thing; about why eating RAW foods is better for You!
I give this book a beyond Excellent rating!" By climberjohn.
"Reading this book is a must for those who are interested in improving their health. I decided I would not loan this book out (EVER) for fear of not getting it back. It is stocked full of information and is a great read. It is one I will go back to again and again for its many recipes. It covers many products that rebuild your health and tells you how you can live longer. If you want to lose weight, follow this book's suggestions. You WILL lose weight, the right way." By Beckypopcorn.I have followed this book and it is really good. My personal perception after reading this book. Everyone, now or then suffered from obesity and over weight. People spend lots of money in buying Diet Pills and other Weight Loss Supplements to get the result without knowing how much they are risking their's life with chemical and with the side effect arise from that chemicals. Health is wealth.
