    Synopsis

    Did you truly enjoy the food you ate today? Do you really like the way you look and feel? Are you consistently enjoying great health and high energy? Bill Phillips, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Body-for-LIFE, believes your answer to all of the above questions should be, "Yes!" He feels that food should be a source of pure pleasure. A source of positive, abundant energy! A "sure thing" in a world of much uncertainty. Phillips, who's widely regarded as today's most successful fitness author, has firm beliefs which go against the grain of today's popular weight-loss methods. "Diets, all of them, are potentially dangerous, most always dumb and ultimately a dead-end street!" he insists. "Eventually, anyone and everyone who's at all concerned with their health must learn how to feed their body, not how to starve it." Instead, Phillips encourages a safe and sound solution which includes eating balanced, high-nutrient meals, frequently throughout the day. "This is what works in the long run," he explains.

    Rich with common sense and science, Eating for Life has rhyme and reason. It is specific. There are very clear dos and don'ts which help people enjoy food and improve their overall fitness. Bill's approach, which he calls the "Eating for Lifestyle," has already helped thousands of people break free from the dieting dilemma and discover that, contrary to pop-culture belief, food is friend, not foe. Used intelligently, it nourishes the body and mind, satisfies the appetite, calms cravings, renews health and lifts energy. Like Bill Phillips' Body-for-LIFE, this is a tell-it-like-it-is book. There's no promise of a quick fix. No metabolic tricks or so-called miracles. Just straight-forward, clear, concise, practical and appropriate principles for eating right... for life.

    Biography

    New York Times best-selling author, magazine publisher, documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, inventor, self-made multimillionaire, and motivator, Bill Phillips has thus far proved unstoppable. Described recently by Outside magazine as "the most successful fitness author of all timeOver the years, Phillips has served as "personal trainer" to a who's-who list of Hollywood icons, but what he's most proud of is his work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® and more recently, his work as an adviser to the United States Department of Health and Human Services on programs to resolve childhood obesity.

    March 10, 2009: I have never been one to diet, so this book's practical advice is what attracted me to it. There's no calorie counting, or 'dieting'. You get one free day. I've lost 7lbs. in my first month just by realizing that my portions were way too big.

    We cook out of this every day. One word of caution: if you have kidney troubles, and are not lifting weights, watch out for the protein intake. This is a very protein-heavy lifestyle, which is ideal if you are also following his Body for Life guidelines. Since I do cardio 3 times a week, and light lifting I reserved the whey protein smoothies to when I actually lifted, and substitute vegetables out for some of the protein portions, and have done well so far.

    The recipes are very well laid out, and are good for beginning cooks. I've always believed that you cannot adhere to a healthy lifestyle if you refuse to cook. He makes the meals easy enough for even the most novice of cooks. And for more advanced cooks - there's no excuse to not eat out of this book. The ingredients are readily available, inexpensive, and the meals take no time at all to make.

    I hope he comes out with another one soon with additional recipes.
