The Spectrum (Abridged): A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight, and Gain Health Audiobook

" Great research-based information on how to chose a healthier, happier body despite some of the more common genetic obstacles. Doesn't get any better than that - and the recipes look good too. "

" My Fav book on healthy eating, a well respected Dr. with proven science sets this book apart. When you learn that what you eat and how you move can actually repair your DNA, thats powerful highly recommend. "

" Honestly, his work is fantastic and has helped me a lot but this approach seems like bit of a cop out trying to appeal to a broader audience "

" Excellent advice for good health... eat a plant based diet, exercise, meditate and have love in your life! "

" Very interesting. I like the fact that each day is a choice, that eating healthy is a lifestyle and not a "diet." "

" This book was one of the few books that makes you feel like you have control over your health. Without being judgemental or preachy, Dr. Ornish describes the ways that one can improve their health by a diet low in fat and sugar, exercise and stress relief. Definitely learned a lot! "

" Book is a bit hokey in parts but he has good, solid nutrition advice and a fair number of healthy recipes. I ended up buying this one to keep on my shelf. "

" Dr. Ornish emphasizes the importance of enjoying food. But the book can be boiled down to: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants, exercise, and reduce stress by meditating or yoga. -- Or is that Montel Williams quoting someone else? "

" More evidence for eating a low fat vegetarian diet. "

" excellent book - not so much a diet as a road planning for living ... "

" I love the playful way it's written. It doesn't seem to drone on and on about what's good for you and contradict itself the way other diet books can. Also, he doesn't sound like a crazy person (see: The Dorm Room Workout). "

" Not as fun to read as "Healthy at 100" but good info. More of a reference book with half recipes from Oprah's chef, etc. "

" Great reference material enjoyed reading and will continue to use - changing my eating habits is something I work on daily. "

" Good review of a program to improve health via healthier eating, exercise, and stress reduction. Excellent recipes. I've put many of the suggestions into practice. "

" It's a really good book that offers a lot of food for thought, not only in what to eat (plant-centered, unrefined foods) but also in how we deal with stress, connection, and activity. "

" The audio book is very concise especially after you move out of the first 40-60 minutes. It sounds very simple and basic. I'm thinking with 400 pages in the hard copy format, there are plenty of details, but I liked the "cliffs' notes version" "

" Almost done with this book, although it will probably be a book I'll be picking up often to refresh my memory. Much up-to-date information on health topics. "

" Good ideas for getting healthy......but she can't manage to talk about it for very long without foul language. "

" A little extreme in some of her views, but lots of good information to be found. Just take everything with a grain of salt, especially if you're a non-vegan, since she's a big proponent of veganism. "

" Alkalinity, whole foods, food combining... All things I've read before, but Kris discusses them in a much more approachable way. I would be interested in trying her cleanse/diet, but I don't feel like I can afford all the fresh, organic produce that would be required. "

" Amazing and practical! I see myself buying a copy in the very near future!!! "

" Great book that has lead me to a huge shift in how I view my health. "

" LOVE it! Can't wait to start the Adventure Cleanse. "

" Amazing. Life changing. Kris Carr is a revolutionary and a good, loving soul. This book will guide you towards a healthier, more vibrant existence. "

" This book is a life changer, the best about healthy eating and lifestyle since Skinny Bitch got me to get rid of meat and dairy in the first place. There are some amazing tips. This isn't just a book about veganism or diet, it is about transforming your entire lifestyle! "

" I'm trying to "health up" my diet (get rid of sugar, etc) and this book is awesome. Written by a 7 year cancer survivor who has kept her rare cancer in check by diet. It's super funny and has great recipes and a 21 day cleanse that I'm thinking about doing ;-0 "

" TCL Call#: 613.262 Carr K Madeleine - 4 stars A great little book. She has a nice irreverant style that keeps the book from being too healy-feely. Good recipes at the end. "

" LOVE. Love this book. I am inspired by Kris Carr and her attitude in the face of can-Ser. I think everyone should read this! Great manual for living, for taking care of yourself. "
