First I am a big follower of Barry Sears. In the beginning though, I was thinking of all his books, this is my least favorite. His style of writing is somewhat self serving-- in other words, he sounds a bit full of himself. And in many pages he goes over again what, if you've read any other of his books, you know. But he won me over and this one is a keeper. Read this with Jean Carper's Your Miracle Brain -- they compliment each other well. Sears reminds his way of eating is not a diet and he's right, its a way of life. A very livable way of eating for life. Get your carbs from fruits and veggies, your protein from low fat sources and fats from the "good fats", watch the high glycemic foods and supplement with omega oil. Oh, and get a deal on the omega on vitacost.com-- yes its his "ZonePerfect" brand.
