Book Overview
Fitness and diet expert John Douillard helps you restore balance to your daily life with The 3-Season Diet Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will- work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons to feed the body what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In winter, for instance, we crave soups, nuts, warm grains, and other high-fat and protein foods such as fish and meat. In spring we want salads, berries, and leafy greens- a naturally low-fat diet. And in summer, when long days and outdoor activities require high energy, we desire fruits, vegetables, starches, and other high-carbohydrate foods. By following The 3-Season Diet 's simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, The 3-Season Diet will become an easily sustainable way of life that lets you look and feel better than you've ever imagined.

Great Common Sense "Diet" Book

Excellent book with a lot of common sense lifestyle suggestions (that are easy to follow) and a big picture overview of why his guidelines are so important to your overall health and well-being. Would recommend it to anyone!
Great Book - a novel approach that gets results
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The teachings of ayurveda have been around for 5,000 years and in this book Douillard brilliantly some of these lessons to light for those of us in the Western world. Although some of his ideas fly in the face of traditional American dietary advice (but what is that anyway), the results of following his program are undeniable. I have been on the health and nutrition bandwagon for a long time and this book has helped me reach my weight loss goals better than anything else I have tried. I have lost 35 pounds in 3 months and feel great. It truly is a lifestyle change and re-education, not just another one of the countless fad diets that are out there. His program makes a lot of sense once you are willing to get past your own ego and the "logic" of the dietary advice that we have been misled with in this country for so long. Buy this book, check your ego at the door, and be read to lose weight and feel great!

Great book!

As a person interested in nutrition and holistic approaches to health, I read and used concepts from this book and in my opinion it deserves a five start rating! The techniques the author presents work, and the plan is really easy to do. I lost weight and felt better incorporating the "large mid day meal" concept and it works well for my busy household to eat more lightly in the evening, not to mention my digestion. Sometimes I just have to depart from the "seasonal" concept of which foods to select (gotta have that almond butter!), but overall it makes good sense to eat what is in season...it is always fresher and tastier! His recommendations on arising earlier in the morning and going to sleep earlier at night are also solid basics to regain and keep ones health. This book is a definite keeper!
