Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Wined and (Healthily) DinedNutraceuticals "foods that have medical-health benefits" are the foodstuffs of nutritionist Marcia Zimmerman's Eat Your Colors: Maximize Your Health by Eating the Right Foods for Your Body Type. To simplify and personalize good nutritional practice, natural-medicine researcher Zimmerman (The A.D.D. Nutrition Solution) designates three digestive types green, red and yellow (yellow eaters, for example, need more animal protein than others) and offers a self-test for determining type. She suggests meal plans with information on phytoestrogens (which decrease breast and prostate cancer risk), polyphenols (immuno-boosters, heart-attack preventers) and anthocyanidins (anti-inflammatory treatment). The allusion to cosmetic color types will attract people who might otherwise overlook an eating guide not fixated on weight-loss.

From Booklist
It started with the Hippocratic admonition to "let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." More than 2,000 years later, researcher-author Zimmerman provides the first real healthy-eating plan centered on nutraceuticals, which were defined by a scientist in the mid-1970s as a broad class of health-promoting nutrients. Applying the basics of Ayureveda--the Indian mind-body knowledge process--she melds three colors of foods (red, yellow, and green) with three colored complements (white, tan, and brown), giving each individual a unique way of fighting off disease and staying whole. Questions define your exact type or combination thereof. Each group is scrutinized for its attributes and possible side effects, according to proven research. And finally, all are drawn into nutrition plans, with a few recipes geared to different types. The last chapter summarizes symptoms of "color" affliction as well as remedies. Of major interest but minor practicality. Barbara Jacobs

Body Type Book is Much Better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eat Your Colors: Maximize Your Health By Eating the Right Foods for Your Body Type (Paperback)
I've purchased and read them all.This one was surprisingly the least informative. I found it similar to the others, without clear foundation and thought. I wouldn't purchase this book. The Body Type Book is a much better buy.

I'm loving 'eating my colors',
By Jeri Mullins (Olympic Valley, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eat Your Colors: Maximize Your Health By Eating the Right Foods for Your Body Type (Paperback)
I'm loving 'eating my colors'. I'm red as can be and all my favorite foods are what I get to eat. I noticed a difference after the first week, more energy, better sleep, and I even lost 4 pounds without using any diet pills.Thank you so much Marcia for writing this book. I will be buying several more copies and sending them to my friends for Birthday's and other gift ideas.] And thank you for my better health. Jeri Mullins Olympic Valley, Ca.

This review is from: Eat Your Colors: Maximize Your Health By Eating the Right Foods for Your Body Type (Paperback)
As a practitioner, author, and educator in the field nutritional medicine, and an enthusiastic fan of Macia Zimmerman’s other book, The ADD Nutrition Solution, I can only say—Marcia Zimmerman has scored again! She takes ancient Ayurvedic principles, adds a clear scientific explanation, and provides a practical guidebook for improving and maintaining your health your health. With individualized programs, and delicious meal plans, you can begin eating according to own "color" type. No need to ever again be intimidated by "phytochemicals", "antioxidants", and "carotenoids"—you’ll not only be eating them, and loving them, but you will understand why! --- Hyla Cass, M.D., author of several books, including St. John’s Wort: Nature’s Blues Buster, Kava: Nature’s Answer to Stress, Anxiety, and Insomnia, and Natural Highs (due in 2002)....
