About this title

Review:

"This book is designed to be a comprehensive, long-term fix to your weight problem," says Gary Null, author of over 50 books and a well-known manufacturer of vitamins and supplements. Gary Null's Ultimate Lifetime Diet presents an integrative approach combining diet, exercise, supplements, juicing, cleaning up your personal environment, and examining your life choices and values. First, Null offers an interesting discussion of obesity, the hormonal connection, eating disorders, and diets. Then he recommends a mostly vegetarian, long-term dietary plan emphasizing low-glycemic, complex carbohydrates plus fish and juices, and avoiding "dead foods": meat, sugar, and processed carbohydrates. Null gives a 31-day meal plan with recipes. Breakfast might be Raspberry Oat-Soy-Banana Pancakes, Quinoa Mango Delight, or Carob Nut Milk Shake (made with soy milk). Lunch might be Cayenne Swordfish (with a spicy olive oil and tofu sauce), Gary's Vegiball Stew (made with vegetables, herbs, and seitan), or Popeye Loves Olive (can you guess?). Dinner recipes include Almond Chop Suey, Stir-Fried Tempeh with Broccoli and Lemon Threads, and many interesting pastas. Desserts are mostly a variety of puddings made with fruit and tofu. Besides the diet plan, Null describes his recommendations about exercise; juicing; vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids; and techniques for handling chronic stress. He also presents a collection of inspiring success stories. --Joan Price
