After thirty-plus years of diets and dieting, we find ourselves in the midst of the most dire overweight and obesity epidemic in history, including a record number of overweight children. The message is clear: diets dont work! What is important is an intelligent way of eating, which is a lifestyle predominated by living food that allows the eating experience to remain a joyous one, not a clinical endeavor. Never Be Fat Again succeeds in giving the reader a simple, straightforward, commonsense approach to eating that fulfills that lofty goal.

This is not just another dime a dozen diet book. Never Be FatAgain hits the nail on the head. This book provides scientifically authenticated information combined with the practical help necessary to answer the problem of overweight that is rampant in our society. As director at Hippocrates Health Institute for thirty-plus years, I can attest to the fact that a plant-based, living-foods diet, without toxic processed food, when combined with other lifestyle changes, brings dramatic and lasting results. Lifestyle is the name of the game, and I believe that employing the wealth of information represented in this book will help you change your life for the better.

Never Be Fat Again goes far beyond traditional mainstream tactics that blame the patient for being overweight. Raymond Francis translates complex cutting-edge biochemistry into easy-to-read, practical strategies that will help anyone win the battle of the bulge. Unlike the hundreds of low-calorie diets that dont work, Francis addresses the underlying causes of what slows our metabolism and drives us to overeat. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off, as well as for those people who have tried and failed dozens of times.

This book is your indispensable stepping stone to unchanging Truth about human nutritional needs. History tells us that only Truth will never change. Over many years I have watched diets come and go. There is but one diet for humans, not only for weight loss, but for ideal health. I call it the Living Foods Diet and have written extensively about it in Second Opinion. Does it work? I havent yet seen one overweight person who follows this diet. Read Never BeFat Again, follow it, and you can reclaim control over your weight and health from the disease-producing factories and industries that thrive on your sicknesses.
