The Maker's Diet by Jordan S. Rubin (2005)

I totally disagree with the first review... This has alot of practical advise, as well as excellent recipes. I enjoyed having some scripture to back up my decisions on what was right for me. Its a personal choice, and even tho there is some stuff that is leading to product purchase, dont all diet programs? Yes. So this is no different that way.

Say Hallelujah the next time you stand on the scale! My copy is for sale, but I loved learning from Jordan Rubin!

The quality of the book exceeded my expectations. It looked like any new book you would get off the store shelf.

I have had a lifelong interest in diet and exercise and have read dozens off books on the subject over the years, but none have affected me like this one! Not just a diet book, The Makers Diet is about obtaining lifelong optimum health. No fads here, just fact. Do you want to live your best life and feel great along the way? If so this book will be of interest to you. It's not just about losing weight (although I lost 10 in 4 weeks, and that's a wonderful thing!!), but more importantly, about feeling fantastic. Even my mood has changed on this diet and I wake-up every morning with a whole new attitude and increased energy. So much of this book addresses what should be common sense but that's been lost in our modern era quest for convenience, fast and easy processed foods,and generally unhealthy environments we live iin. Not only does Jordan Rubin include his own amazing story of illness and recovery, he lays out a plan that will appeal to anyone interested in staying well and enjoying a healthly life. There are recipes, food plans, and shopping lists to get you started and really the only foods not allowed are things NO ONE should consider eating anyway. Sure, there are adjustments that will need to be made in the average diet, but once Jordan Rubin explains why they're taboo, you're likely to lose your taste for them anyway. Since reading my copy of this book I've bought several others for friends and relatives and will continue to do so. No baloney here, this is the real deal!

Well first I would like to correct the reviewer who wrote that you can only buy the supplements through Dr Rubin's company. In the back of the book, he has tons of resources to choose from, even his competitor's are listed. He of course offers his brand. It is very expensive to eat healthy in this country and he has given three different levels of healthy eating according to your budget and desire. He also incudes recipes! I am thankful for a guide to eating and cooking the way God intended and I have bee doing this for almost a month and I feel and look better already! Everyone should read this and start eating this way, maybe then restaurants and grocery stores will cater to the true nutritional needs of the populace and not serve garbage that's killing us. 5 stars!

I would highly recommend anyone in an abusive relaionship to buy this workbook, but to get the most out of it buy the book that goes with it "How to Spot a Dangerous Man before etc....". The seller that I bought it from is so great! You will get your books immediately and if there is a chance that they are out of one or the other they will keep you updated on the back order and when you will recieve it! I will buy from this seller over and over again for sure!

The workbook is a must tool for recognizing the signs and the signs that normally you wouldn't see if not have had the help of this workbook. It has helped me tremendously!

Great book!

bought on friends advice, haven't read it yet. Good seller, smooth transaction. Would buy from them again.

I love this book. I had heard about this book and diet from my chiropractor. So, thought I'd get myself one. I searched local book stores and thought I might be able to get it cheaper on ebay. I was right. It is definately a right decision on my part.

I ordered the book for my mother and she is very pleased with it. Most of the ladies at church had read the book and put the diet into action and so far are very happy w/ the outcomes.

About four + years ago my wife and I decided to start desiging our own home. We walked through hundreds of display homes and bought many home design magazines. Over the years we found things that we liked about different houses. In May of 2006 we took our ideas to an architect and took the next step on our journey. It was still the height of the constructoion boom in central florida. There was'nt one contractor who would talk to us because they were way to busy. Well...God does'nt give you a dream if He does'nt want you to have it,so we pressed on. Time and time again we were told no or we were given a price of over three times what I thought it would cost. I did some research and found that our county would let us act as our own builder. Now a new leg of our journey started.
Now, I have no real experience as contractor,i had to do research on all the different aspects of building a house. Land clearing,dirt prep,surveying,permiting,septic wells footers and stem walls, the list goes on and on.It's overwhelming if you look at the big picture. All this while I held a full time job and my wife held a full time job and went to college,oh and did I mention we have a child and animals. My friend Les always told me you can eat an elephant if you you do it ONE BITE AT A TIME. So off we went again. A house that every one else wanted over seven hundred thousand to build we priced out at two hundred twenty five thousand. I know, you don't have to be rocket scientist to figure out that math. Well we started out again. because we saved so much money acting as our own builders we decided to add a professional theater and put a surround system in my 11yr old room as well as one in the great room and of course the master bedroom. That's what brings me here. On of my work associates turned me on to e-bay. Even though you have to do some research to make sure you get a good deal I love it. I'm an e- bay junky. We've bought almost all of our electronics through e-bay not only saving mucho denaro but also lots of time as it's sent right to my front door. At this point we've started the drywall process of our new home and within the next eight weeks should be in our new home.
We give all the credit to God and give thanks to him,the sub contractors,friends (jim and cathy c.),family and of course to e-bay

I've had stomach problems for years & following this diet, basically eliminating white flour & sugar, I'm so much better. I've learned to eat fruit & now I crave it! I've been eating food that's GOOD for me & have lost 14 pounds in the process. When I think of all the weight loss programs I've joined & this one is free & so healthy for me.

You have to make up your own mind to lose weight. Bottom line this book is
very helpful on some ways, other ways it's way out there. If you eat healthy,
exercize and get proper sleep.....the weight will come down. This has a story
line which is very inspriational, yet impractical. Good read.

I decided to buy it from the seller because of how cheap the seller was selling it. This seller had the lowest selling price.

This book was recommend by my sister. She said she had seen the author on TV and that this diet was good for arthritis suffers. I looked to see if I could find it on ebay and sure enough it was there and I got it for a great price.
The story about the author is amazing and I and my husband are starting the diet and looking forward to great results. I really like the fact that he lists the foods that are on the diet and the ones that are not. I also liked the fact that there are many recipes also included in the book. The diet should help much more than just arthritis. It is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone. It is worth the price just to read about Jordan Rubin and his amazing come back from certain death. This diet saved his life it has to be good for you and me too.

I love this book because it addresses the major causes of chronic health problems as well as those of us that just feel "bleah" a lot of the time.

The changes made sense from what I seen as I scanned it and had really wanted to buy it for several months.

It does call for some radical changes in diet and health, but that shouldn't be any big surprise.

And its not a fad - its based on ancient, traditional dietary laws that make sense in today's world

True - it starts out as a primarily Low-Carb Diet - but you are only allowed to eat BENEFICIAL, low carb, WHOLE FOODS - Absolutely no sugar free, chemical-laden, soy processed drinks or bars. You can use small amounts of Honey as well as Stevia - because they are REAL, LIVE foods and not chemicals or poison.

You are to incorporate fruit ( no canned or sugar-drenched dried and ORGANIC if possible )gradually as well as Whole grains - and that means 100% whole grain food NOT made with sugars or corn syrup or anything you can't pronounce.

I was impressed with it and can't wait to start the 40 day make-over. I think its worth it for everyone to check this out. I especially liked the information on Skin care / Hygiene products - basically, if you wouldn't eat it, you should not put it on your Skin/Hair. Your skin absorbs what you put on it and if there are carcinogenic ingredients (and the FDA does NOT regulate what goes into cosmetics - cancer-causing and beneficial alike) then it goes right into your bloodstream - your stomach does not even have a chance to attack it with acid - which would happen if you ate the products.

Scary!!

Enjoy - hope this helps

This book is full of wonderful information, a testimony, and recipes. It's new but basic approach to eating takes you back to the very beginning. I recommended this book to 2 friends who were so sick that the doctors were baffled and no one could help. One had very bad allergies to foods and one had intestinal problems and was wilting away in the hospital. This book changed their lives and by following the guidelines that Rubin shares, they are finally experiencing healing. It's a big discipline to eat the way he recommends - especially in our American society - but the benefits outway the challenges. It's a must read - especially for those needing physical healing!! I highly recommend it.

I bought the book on the recommendation of my Physician. It was informative, easy to read and just what the doctor ordered!

My daughter has enphysema and is extremely overweight and has never had much success dieting. I have always been very healthy and have high energy. To support her we BOTH followed the guidelines. In less than a month she lost over 20 pounds, has more energy, and a glowing complexion. I, too, felt even better and lost about 5 pounds. Highly recommend this book for anyone with a problem, or for just everyone who wants to stay healthy!

Like any non-fictional book, people must keep an open mind and get what THEY need out of any reading. This book offers excellent information on getting and staying healthy. I've been a health freak for many years and this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's very worth the time invested to read and practice this information. Especially good is the 40-day diet included in the book.
