Customer Reviews

The BEST book on Nutrition I have ever read!
The original SuperFoodsRx was a guideline for me that helped me loose over 100lbs. I highly recommend this book as a guide to get and stay healthy. It changed the way I looked at food and this book simplifies eating even more. I read this new book in two days and it completely reinforced everything I had read in the original SuperFoods Book. Preparing meals has become a game to me to see how many super foods I can get into each dish. My morning oatmeal is now made with soymilk, walnuts, berries and soy protein powder. If I can manage to eat and stay healthy for almost four years anyone can! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to be healthy and give up fast food.

Excellent information, but a little confusing
This book is packed with wonderful information on eating healthy. There is so much information in here! Don't expect to pick it up and get a grasp on it right away. It takes a few read-throughs to grasp all the information. I have a biomedical background, and it was a bit challenging to put together my 'slim-down' menu for the week. I found myself flipping back and forth between chapters trying to find out how much of which Category to add to what meal. I'm glad I did, though, because the food is delicious! Don't believe the reviews that say the recipes are no good. Yesterday I made the turkey-pumpkin chili - YUM! Amazon had the best price for this book, so grab one now!

Confusing, dissappointing, hard to use
I'd rate this a 2-1/2 stars if I could. This book is just plain hard to use. I have Dr. Platt's original Superfoods book which I loved. And, I was looking forward to a book that would show me how to "put it all together."

The recipes are not inspired. There are no calories or carbohydrate grams listed. And, for those of us that need to count carbs, calories, or points, that is a problem.

I did like some of the ideas. But, I'm a mix and match kind of person.
Give me a list of ideas on how to include these foods in my current recipes.

I found David Grotto's 101 Foods That Can Save Your Life MUCH more helpful. And, his recipes are tastier. Many of David's recipes have more than one superfood. Plus, they have nutritional information on them. He even has a week-long 2000-calorie menu in the back of the book.

So, I've been using David Grotto's 101 Foods, Chef Nancy Berkof's Vegan Menus For People With Diabetes, and Jorge Cruise's 3-Hour Diet Cookbook.

I can't fault the information in The Superfoods Diet. It's the execution that I had a hard time with
