However, despite the
religious background of the
diet, it is a fairly balanced
book with a lot of good advice to have a
healthier lifestyle. If you are interested only in
dieting and
better eating habits, you should not be
offended by the book even if you are not an
evangelical
Christian or get upset by the idea that he patronized
gay
prostitutes (while actively attacking
gays and
gay marriage) or
that he used illegal drugs or simply do not believe that faith and
dieting
go together.
The
diet that he talks about is more like a series of
recommendations, rather than a strict program. In
general a good book to read with positive, simple
advice without a lot of complex formulas, theories,
counters, and a long grocery lists to carry around.
There is a lot of emphasis on
eating
fruits, vegetables, and nuts (preferably
organic) by
cutting back on processed foods.
The English actress, Gillian Taylforth, attributes
her fit body and
youthful looks to this. In other words, Haggard emphasize that only
permanent
lifestyle changes rather than any magical
diet
or weight loss program will do the trick. He
also emphasizes
measuring your weight daily to
monitor your performance better.
