Product Description
Did you know you were designed by nature to live to be an average age of 100? It is a common fact that an animal lives to be five times his maturity age. A horse matures at four years and easily lives to be 20. A cow matures at two and one-half years and easily lives to be 12. A dog matures at one and one-half years and easily lives to be over eight. Man is an animal, but the average man in the United States who matures at 20 will die in his 70’s. That’s more than 20 years before his time. Short lives, senility, obesity, excessive disease, especially cancer and heart disease, are not a part of nature’s plan. Modern medicine is directed mainly at curing diseases―diseases man should never have in the first place!The author believes that obesity is too often a visible revelation of inward sickness and deterioration. If we could curtail the causes of deterioration and premature death, obesity would automatically diminish.Over seventy percent of all deaths in the United States are prematurely caused by heart disease and cancer. Diet is a major factor in many of these latest findings of the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart Association. There is a striking parallel in their suggested diets. It’s obvious that there are basic ground rules that all of us should follow. If we break these rules, we suffer the penalties. Our bodies demand a balance of nutritional foods to sustain healthful longevity and ideal weight control.You can control your weight, your health, and your destiny. You can change your eating habits for life and live longer. ... Read more

It Works
I first read this book in the late 60s. I became a vegetarian and this was the only book that addressed a diet for vegetarians. I lost weight then and kept it off for many years. I had weight issues on and off all my life, due to emotional stress, and tried many diet and exercise programs. As I got older, losing weight became harder and harder. Then I remembered this book. I couldn't remember the exact title but knew it had to do with inches off. Finally I found the book from a bookseller on Amazon's used book list. When I received the book, I was so happy to see it again after all these years. I used the book and lost 35 pounds without even thinking I was on a diet. Dr. Stillman's approach is simple because you don't have to think so much of what to choose. In my case, I just followed the inches off diet, ate all the vegetables I wanted, including bread, and even wine without ever feeling deprived because these are the kinds of foods I enjoy. However, if you are a meat eater, there is always the quick weight loss diet in which you can eat meat all day long I suppose. I can only say that this is the only diet that was easy for me to do without having to count calories. If you like vegetables and carbs, this diet can work for you.

THE BEST DIET BOOK YOU'LL EVER READ OR NEED
The Inches-Off Diet Book is the best diet book I have ever read, or used.I first used it in 1969 and recently reread it to use again.I have tried many, many diets and have lost weight on all of them, but this is by far the easiest to implement. ...In this book, Dr. Stillman doesn't list just one diet. He lists about 40 diets, each perfectly valid in its own right.Use one diet religiously, or mix and match.Stay on one for a day or a week, switch to another if you feel like it for the next, or just stick to one diet.Dr. Stillman allows this and the promised 3-lb weight loss predictably occurs.He creates diets around people's likes and dislikes. He has diets for meat-eaters, diets for alcoholic beverage drinkers, diets for vegetarians, diets for bread eaters, diets for people who don't like to count, diets for people who want to eat one thing.I could go on and on, quite readable and easy to follow. ...
AND IT'S ALL IN ONE BOOK!GET THIS ONE BOOK (this review is for this book only and not for Dr. Stillman's other books). ... Read more

Book Description
Obesity is epidemic in America. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) state that obese and overweight people are susceptible to many obesity-related diseases.

Reliable information shows that obesity or its fundamental causes can lead to arthero-sclerosis, high blood pressure the silent killer, arthritis, type II diabetes and some forms of cancer. These conditions, and very often their medical treatment, can result in heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, a degraded immune system and vulnerability to many diseases. That is why obesity must be considered an insidious killer; it creates a risk to health deterioration and premature death.

The book lays out the essentials of fat and weight control as a series of discussion chapters giving a brief explanation of each of the principles involved and then a number of simple straight forward instructions at the end of each chapter. ... Read more
