This book is less about losing weight, and more about gaining health. If you are suffering from various non-specific symptoms which don't seem to make sense, or indeed if you are just looking to feel energetic and healthy again, this book may well be extremely helpful.
It's author, (a trained nurse), recovered from a 'mystery' illness using the Hay Diet. She went on to write the book to help others restore their own health and vitality through tackling diet, eating habits and environmental issues.
The book looks at some of the more common problems such as Candida, Allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Low Blood Sugar problems and toxicity from mercury fillings, helpfully listing 'classic' symptoms (which can be as varied as anxiety, dizziness, muscle cramps, ringing in the ears) of each condition, and explaining how some may overlap with others. More importantly she looks at where to begin tackling these problems.
The information given on the Hay Diet itself is limited, but sufficient to get a grasp on the principles. Basic food items are listed in tables indicating how they should be combined together, but if you want very detailed listings and menu ideas you would need to buy a different book.
Overall a helpful book if you feel you have health issues you want to tackle, but perhaps less detailed than others if you want to concentrate primarily on weight loss.

Like the prevcious book but in more detail, I was very impressed how well laid out and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject or needing to improve their general health.

A GOOD READ LEADS TO GOOD HEALTH
4 April 2000
Format:Paperback
I was given a copy of Get Well with the Hay Diet by a friend who knew that I was already a convert. For over fifteen years I had suffered terribly from dreadful gastric problems and when a colleague suggested that I tried the Hay Diet it was like a miracle cure. Literally overnight I was cured of the dreadful pains that had been a daily part of my life for so long. Two years later I had lost a stone and a half and feel fitter and more energised than ever. The proof of this could be the fact that I am running the London Marathon this year. So when I started to read Jackie Habgood's excellent book I wondered if there was anything more I could learn. It is a really comprehensive look at all aspects of food combining and I learnt a great deal that I didn't know before; helpful tips and advice about all aspects of the diet. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of starting to food combine and anyone who is a dedicated combiner already. Get reading - get healthy!

the only book you should have
8 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
When I first read about the Hay diet, I though that it would be difficult to follow it, and that it wasn't practical. But after only about two weeks of combining food in this way, I found that it wasn't that difficult at all, and I felt much better than I had when I was eating meat with potatoes. I believe this book is THE book for healthy living. If you're skeptical, this book will change your mind. It is the best book on food combining out there. It will work for people trying to loose weight, or someone who is just tired of feeling sick. I also recommend looking into the books by Paul Bragg. They also contain great information, but some of it is repeated sometimes.

Very generic information
9 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
I liked the information provided in the book but it is mostly basics about eating organic, non-processed foods. I was looking for something more in depth and with more details of what to eat when, etc. If you don't know that several of your health issues may be due to what you eat, then this book will enlighten you. But if you are already convinced of that and are looking for more details, then this book is not enough. I glanced through most pages. It gives information on several health issues and the solution to all is pretty much the same. So there was no point reading each. Plus not nobody has all the issues.. My issue is with stomach pains and indigestion. If you are looking at this book for the same problem, don't waste your money, buy something that will give you more practical advice.
