Editorial Review:
What Dr. Andrew Weil is to herbal medicine and Dr. Phil is to TV psychology, Dr. John La Puma is to culinary medicine. At thirty-five, after eating too much of the Standard American Diet (SAD, isn’t it?), Dr. La Puma had become SADly paunchy. So he decided to research the science of nutrition while also going to culinary school to learn to cook. He created the revolutionary new concept of “culinary medicine”–recipes, foods, and meals that prevent or control common health conditions without sacrificing restaurant-quality taste.
Now you can use culinary medicine too. In ChefMD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine, you’ll learn to stock the medicine chest in your kitchen, use the doctor inside of you, and create dishes that give you lifesaving benefits and truly dazzling flavor.
Dr. La Puma serves up a step-by-step eight-week plan to motivate you and help you change your life. Try Saffron Scallop, Shrimp, and Chickpea Paella. Or Sicilian Pasta with Swiss Chard, Goat Cheese, and Basil. Or Spicy and Rich Sausage and Kidney Bean Chili.
Anyone who loves food, wants to have more energy, wants to reverse his or her family health history, or wants to know what to eat to get and stay healthy should read this book. Its recipes, meals, and menus can work within minutes of eating them.
Experience food you can’t wait to make, and grab the energy and good health to reclaim your life.

Since I bought the book back in the early part of Sept, I quit drinking hard liquor, eating junk food and I have started a exercise program and I have lost 9 lbs since Sep 21. Today is Oct 15. I have learned to love fruits and vegetables. I love the whole living well concept and I'm so delighted that it's NOT a diet. I look forward to living this lifestyle the rest of my life.
This book is very easy to read, it's entertaining and extremely educational. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to save their life.

I love watching La Puma on his ChefMD.com website--he's funny and gives great advice. And his book is funny and well written. Highly recommended.

Great book. Thank you Dr La Puma!

Not a Recipe Book
I misunderstood what this book was when I purchased it. I thought it was a recipe book with lots of healthy recipes for different concerns. This book is more about a way of eating. If that's what you're interested in, then I think it's a good book. 2008-10-15
funny and informative
This book has completely changed how I choose food--and I thought I already knew a lot about healthy eating. Now I know how to maximize nutrition even in the foods I already eat (like melon and broccoli) by how I cook and store them. I have seen a real difference in my nails and hair, and my eye doctor recently told me, after examining my eyes, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it."
I love watching La Puma on his ChefMD.com website--he's funny and gives great advice. And his book is funny and well written. Highly recommended.

Excellent information
This book is well written and very understandable. The author provides information that everyone should know about how to eat. 2008-09-10
Basic stuff
Found the book to be a little basic and was hoping for many more recipes. Good for folks who don't understand what their high sugar, high fat, low fiber diet is doing to them. 2008-09-06
