The most IMPORTANT book I have ever read May 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is the most IMPORTANT book that I have ever read
* If you want to live 10 years longer, read this book
* If you have high blood pressure or any signs of diabetes, read this book
* If you want to diet, read this book
However, it is not about dieting just to lose weight
- it is about a revolution in your eating habits
His simple message:
- Just cut down your fat intake to under 10 grams per day
He shows how Heart Disease, Diabetes and some Cancers are very rare in most countries of the Far East.
* If people from these countries come to the West and eat a high-fat diet, they develop these diseases within a few years.
* If they return to their original country, their symptoms disappear within 3 months
Ray Kurzweil is a computer scientist whose father and grandfather died young.
As a result, he felt that he was at risk of dying young
So, he searched for the world's best information, which he presents in a clear and factual way
Read the book, read the labels on the food that you buy and change your eating habits forever.
Follow his advice and you will cut out medication for high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol - within 3-12 months !!!
I am a believer - I did it !

No "FADS" here--just FACTS August 5, 1998

Standing out from a field of "fad" diet books(The Zone;Sugar Busters;Atkins,etc.) like a pearl in a sea of mud,The 10% Solution is a lucid, intelligently written,well-documented eating plan that really works.(I know--I've been following it for some time now,with fantastic results) Kurzweil is NOT a nutritionist--rather,he's a computer scientist--but he's clearly done his homework,and his writing style and format make it easy for anyone to understand the principles of a healthy diet. Yet he doesn't over-simplify,or insult the reader with emotional pleas and lack of documentation. In a nutshell,the "10% Solution" means that no more than 10% of the calories in your diet should come from fat. Extreme? (After all,the FDA,AHA,and other mainstream entities recommend a diet consisting of 30% of calories from fat) Not at all,as Kurzweil convincingly demonstrates. What's extreme is the eating habits cultivated by "developed" societies like our own ov! er the last century,where undue emphasis is placed on fat. The author compares our typical diet with one from rural Asia,along with respective heart disease and cancer rates. The figures are staggering. Yes--despite what you've heard from the latest fad diet promoters--fat IS the culprit(of course,SOME fat is necessary). A truly low-fat,nutritionally balanced eating program is an enormous factor in attaining good overall health. And,yes,you can(and will,no doubt) lose weight on this regimen--but more importantly, you'll feel better and improve your health immensely. Cutting down to 10% of calories from fat does take some adjustments,but it's not as hard to do as many may think,and Kurzweil makes it easier with a section of recipes. I've read quite a few books on diet and nutrition,and this is clearly the best-written one I've personally seen. Read it and change your life for the better.
