Good book, but MISLEADING! by S. Walker
I absolutely love Sproutman (the author); I have most of his books already. This book is easy to read, fun, amusing, full of helpful tips… BUT it doesn’t explain food combining well enough! As my first book on the subject, I THOUGHT it was enough information, but I continued having digestive problems. Later I read Natalia Rose’s Raw Food Detox Diet - it not only explained food combining much clearer, it actually conflicted with some of the advice in this book. For example, a piece of fruit for dessert an hour or so after dinner - which is exactly what I was doing, with poor results - is a TERRIBLE food choice, I now know. Now that I understand more about food combining, I wouldn’t call this book a food combining book. But I’d say it’s still worth having; it still has good information about improving digestion (in other ways besides food combining) and how to think differently about food. It’s worthwhile to have in your collection, but find other books about food combining rather than relying on this one.

UPDATE: 4 Stars, not 3

Recently I looked up something I remembered reading in this book (it had been sitting on my shelf for a long time) - and found myself surprised. I was too hard on this book in my original review. Maybe because it was my first book on Food Combining and I didn’t understand the subject, I felt the book was missing something. When I looked through it the other day, I realize there really is some good information about food combining, like a breakdown into subcategories (for example, fruits have 4 subcategories: acid, sub-acid, sweet, and melon). I still have issue with the recommendation of having fruit for desert after a meal - DON’T DO IT. I have personally found it’s made a big difference in how I feel! But there is plenty of useful information in this book, and along with the tips about how your mood can affect your meal, I say this book deserves 4 STARS!

A silly book by Natasa Jovanovic-Vuskovic
This book is downright silly! Find something better on the matter. Trust me, there is plenty out there.

food freedom by Gretchen A. Smith
This book is the “KEY” to learning the “whys” of body malfunction and obesity. Simply written for the nutritional novice.

No wonder we’re dying like flies! by E. Bailey
I bought this book out of desperation. Although I have learned some things over the years about digestion, I was still having problems. It set the record straight as far as how I should be eating. No wonder so many Americans are dying like flies of colon cancer, stomach cancer and like diseases. How sad! I am going to start today to incorporate the methods in this book!
