Perfect Health Diet

Regain Health and Lose Weight by Eating the Way You Were Meant to Eat

De: Paul Jaminet, Shou-Ching Jaminet

Narrado por: John Pruden

Suffering from chronic illness and unable to get satisfactory results from doctors, husband and wife scientists Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet took an intensely personal interest in health and nutrition. They embarked on five years of rigorous research. What they found changed their lives - and the lives of thousands of their listeners.

In Perfect Health Diet, the Jaminets explain in layman's terms how anyone can regain health and lose weight by optimizing nutrition, detoxifying the diet, and supporting healthy immune function. They show how toxic, nutrient-poor diets sabotage health, and how on a healthy diet, diseases often spontaneously resolve.

Perfect Health Diet tells you exactly how to optimize health and make weight loss effortless with a clear, balanced, and scientifically proven plan to change the way you eat - and feel - forever.

Helpful in understanding how to eat.

As boring and blunt as understanding how our ancestors ate and how we should eat is, this book was helpful and deserves a good review.

I think that I only disagree with the part on grains. Modern grains do not have the tradition and are not prepared the way our ancestors prepared them. Our ancestors sprouted the grains, so that the pesticides naturally created by the plant to protect it's seed is deactivated and the person/mammal can better properly absorb the nutrition.

It is true, however, that human health has suffered since the lifestyle of eating grains and urbanization. I think this is partly due to overcrowding, as well as a loss of cultural preparation of grains. Either sprout or ferment them, and buy high quality grains. This is just my two cents, but even thought I disagree slightly with the part on grains, the book has a lot of scientific evidence to back it up as I learned in my physical anthropology class. This is a very good book. There is evidence of health deterioration since modern farming. (by modern farming, from an anthropological timescale, I am referring to 10,000 years ago as opposed to the 100,000 year old human paleo diet.)

PHD

While listening to this book I have been on the PHD for two and half months. I am in the military and physical fitness is a major portion of my training. The results I have seen, cravings during fasting minimal, decreased and maintained body fat composition, and decreased acne. I am happy with science and the results of the diet. The discrepancy I have with this book is the reader reports, I don't want to hear continuous infomercials on the PHD, I already purchased the book.

listeners, let's encourage organic voice over reads instead of robotic ones.

when will publishers and authors stop hiring robotic voice over artists? i hope soon.

john pruden's read is spotless. consistent tone and levels throughout, clear pronunciation, high quality recording, intelligible even when i am listening in my noisy car on the freeway. it's perfect. and it's also a perfectly bizarre way to speak.

it's plastic. affected. cold and, in a way, condescending.

would i not understand the content if it was delivered in a conversational voice?

there's something really weird about imagining john pruden going about his daily life speaking to people face to face in the same way he reads an audiobook. maybe there's no difference between the two, or maybe his performance voice is radically different than his every day voice. dunno.

it would be great to my ears - and in alignment with my preference for interacting with human beings rather than machines - if content creators would shed the belief that "robotic" equals "professional."

a professional voice over performance can be achieved in a natural way so that it feels like everyday speech.

find and use that talent, please.

Complexity over generalizations

There are many books that will tell you what to eat while glossing over any, all, most or much of the detail as to why, this is not that kind of book.

This is a fascinating and in-depth study and most certainly nothing that can be played in the background while doing something else. It will demand your full attention and perhaps a second reading or even a third…

Very much worth the time. High-yield…

Must read for all health practitioners

Excellent book. I think every health practitioner should read this book. In addition, anyone who wishes to be healthier should read this book.
