Maffetone's Guide to Healthy
Living
"This book describes a way of life; it's
not a diet book, exercise manual or nutrition guide.
Its goal is to help you regain your instincts about
what kind of food, exercise and nutrition you need
to be optimally fit and healthy for the rest of your
life..." from the introduction.
In Fitness and In Health - The
No Nonsense Guide to Diet, Exercise, and Disease Prevention
- provides the information to empower people
of all ages and backgrounds to improve their health
and excel in all areas of their lives including work,
family, leisure and sports. This unique perspective
gives precise guidance in terms that are easy to understand
and to incorporate into your life. It challenges many
of the fallacies that have become "conventional
wisdom" and provides the tools to help you find
and maintain balance in diet, exercise, disease prevention
and much more.
Long before anyone heard of Dr.
Atkins or the South Beach Diet, Phil was discussing
the importance of eating enough good quality protein,
a reasonable amount of good fats, and not overloading
on carbs. It includes instructions for the "Two
Week Test" - a way to find out the right level
of protein, carbs, and fats for you. An excellent
book for anyone who is interested in good health and
nutrition!

"Dr. Maffetone's system goes
beyond dealing with symptoms: he looks at health and fitness
as an integrated balance. He deals with the whole picture
clearly and directly. Fascinating and illuminating... and
I feel great!"
