After trying numerous nutritional theories, I found myself with no options left but to explore something entirely different from mainstream nutrition advice. I needed a diet that wasn’t high in carbohydrates or heavily meat-based. My goal was to find foods that wouldn’t cause bloating or water retention but also wouldn’t leave me feeling sick and weak. I wanted a diet that didn’t rely on large amounts of meat, chicken, fish, and eggs, which I had tried but didn’t enjoy, nor did I want one based on lots of rice, potatoes, porridge, and other starchy “energy-giving” foods. My previous adherence to a carbohydrate-heavy diet only resulted in bloating, water retention, high blood pressure, and increased body fat, without significant improvements in my physical appearance and health. Ultimately, I realized that both of these popular diets needed to be abandoned in favor of a new nutritional approach, one that no one else was advocating.
This book wouldn’t exist if I hadn’t witnessed the remarkable results my clients have achieved over the years. Their successes have been my greatest inspiration and encouragement to continue what I began in the early eighties. The joy I experience every time a client loses an extra pound of body fat or lifts more weight in a bench press or biceps curl is immense. The satisfaction of seeing incredible transformations, like someone shedding 50 or 60 pounds of body fat they’ve carried for decades, or a lifelong skinny person going from 150 pounds with 20% body fat to 200 pounds with only 7% body fat, has been overwhelming. Achieving such results has often made me feel truly blessed.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has improved my health!
 
This book is wonderfully written, interesting to read and easy to digest. I use to suffer with spots all around my chin from the age of 22 (I am now 29). I have tried everything you could imagine, endless products full of broken promises, different suggestions from friends, forums, other nutrition books, healthy eating (what I thought was healthy), magazines, home remedies you name it. Just after a couple of weeks by changing my diet by following the nutrition advice from Nash's book and proper food combining, my spots have finally cleared up! When I first started reading this book I experimented by firstly cutting out all the bad carbs (complex as well simple) and also dairy products. This is when I started to notice great results pretty much instantly, no spots, no bloating, feeling sluggish or tired. I then re-introduced different types of bread at different stages (gluten free, with gluten and rye ) and felt that bloating feeling again and a few pimples, this was with all the types I tried. I did the same with dairy and had the same effects. I can definitely say that following the diet from this book has dramatically changed my skin, nails, my energy levels as well as no more bloating. I now buy nearly all my food from farmers markets, taste so much better, even the smell! It's amazing how the most simple of foods can contain so many ingredients that are just not natural and really should be avoided. I'm sure my insides are thanking this book as well as myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Way To Regain You Health

I am 59 years old, I have been weight training for about 35 years now although not that seriously. I had a heart bypass 16 years ago and earlier this year I suffered stroke (bad health runs in the family) and had to spend 2 month in hospital. Over the years I've tried every type of diet there is and read numerous books on nutrition, then a friend of mine recommended your book and this is the first book I have read that I felt was right, it made simple sense. Why use a quick fix to cure a long term problem? The best bit about Nash's diet is I feel less hungry on his diet than I do on the standard unhealthy every day diet and it's so simple to follow.

I'm looking forward to starting your weight training program too, I hope to be fit enough to do this in April, it will be a year then since the stroke.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED MY LIFE-STYLE
 
Being a keen amateur body-builder(and eating what most people would consider to be a reasonably healthy and balanced diet), I did not expect to learn a great deal from this book. How wrong I was! From the very first page I found myself undergoing a fundamental re-assessment of the food I was eating and what my body was doing with that food. Instead of being another exercise in calorie-counting, here was a book that spelt out very clearly and precisely the essential nutrition package for human-beings, the optimum path for our bodies to absorb those nutients and - perhaps most importantly of all- why we have got it so wrong in the last few minutes of our evolutionary time-clock........with disastrous consequences for public health generally. If you are looking for another "quick fix" or an easy answer then this book is not for you. If however, you really are serious about what you eat and why, then this book could change your life - forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most important book you will ever read
 
This is one of those few books that after reading it, you will want to share the knowledge it has given to you with the ones you love.

I have been waiting half my life for this book - one book to give me the real honest knowledge based and facts about diet and nutrition. It gives a no holds barred understanding of what happens when we eat and the effect both positive and negative. I believe the understanding that this knowledge has given me and the changes it has made in my behaviour since, has had a direct impact on feeling healthier on a day to day basis as well as increasing the longevity of my loved ones and I.

I have purchased 15 copies of the book since reading it and have given it to the people closest to me. The knowledge here is the gift of life (today and for for more tomorrows). It includes at a detailed level why eating certain foods will increase the chance of heart disease, cancer and fat increase and why eating others will give us more energy every day and a better looking body.

The knowledge within here provides the motivation to change behaviours.
