I’ve been studying health and nutrition for the better part of a year, reading countless books, experimenting with different foods and vitamins.
I evaluate the efficacy of a given health protocol by comparing it to Maimonides’ Rules for Perfect Health, elucidated in his writings.
Dr. Strand’s advice fits the Maimonides Protocol quite nicely.
1. Although he is an M.D., Dr. Strand recommends drugs only as a last resort, because every drug is a brute-force device that upsets the natural balance of the body and may trigger harmful side effects.
2. Dr. Strand always tries gentle lifestyle changes first–coupled with nutritional supplements–if the patient is willing to cooperate and apply the necesary discipline. This approach actually cures the problem at its source by restoring homeostasis. The body is encouraged to heal and re-balance itself permanently.
3. Dr. Strand uses good common sense, combining natural methods with the latest medical technology. He is very practical.
4. His book is very readable and suitable for the average layperson. It’s fun to read, with many illustrative anecdotes.
Buy this book now. In fact, you should buy 10 of them, and hand them out to people you care about.

I read a borrowed copy of Releasing Fat: Developing Healthy lifestyles that Have the Side-Effect of Permanent Weight Loss. It wasn’t until after I ordered a copy for myself AND and copy of Healthy for Life… that I read the blurbs about them on Dr. Strand’s website. You can’t tell on the Amazon site that the books are virtually identical. The only difference is that Releasing Fat includes Usana products (meal replacements, snack bars, and vitamins and minerals) in its meal plans. Healthy for Life just has low-glycemic foods in its meal plans. If you want only one copy, you just need to get one or the other, not both. HOWEVER, I wasn’t bothered by having two copies of what amounted to the same book because I’ve learned so much about insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, killer (abdominal) fat, carb cravings, cellular nutrition, and the benefits of a low-glycemic diet that I wanted to recommend it to all my friends and relatives.
There are a lot of low-gycemic diet books out there now, but this is the only one I’ve seen that goes into such detail about the specific negative health effects that result from the way most Americans eat and how a change to a low-glycemic diet will counteract those health problems.

Excellent book! I have bought several and shared with friends and family. A real eye opener on insulin resistance and why diets don’t work. Dr. Stand’s book includes a Healthy for Life resource page of desirable proteins and desirable carbohydrates and a Phase I & Phase II meal plan. He also holds a one hour teleconference the 4th Saturday of each month to speak on diabetes, obesity, and exercise, which is excellent.

I have read dozens of books on wellness over the past 20 years, this books ranks as one of the best if not the best.
The well documented imformation in this book gave me a real wake-up call on what my lifestyle was doing to my health and how it was going to impact my future. After reading the first five chapters I was ready to make some serious changes to my lifestyle. I skipped back to chapter fifteen for some common sense solutions to prevent further damage to my health and to reverse the negative health cycle I had created. One last thing; I found the lifestyle changes to be very doable and this book gave me the motivation to follow through and produce the positive changes.

It is essential that Americans learn why they are addicted to carbs and why this leads to insulin resistence, fat middles, and many health problems. This book finally made me understand why I had trouble losing weight in the past and made it easier for me to make good choices. My cholesterol has lowered and my cravings have decreased. My waist went from 40 inches to 34 and I feel much better. I bought only one book at first but ended up getting 4 more for my dad and brothers and a friend.
