Fit for Life [0823.1998]

Oh yeah. The reason I'm bouncing with energy today is that I've been trying out the eating habits presented in Fit for Life. Basically, they say the body uses more energy on digestion than anything else. Combine foods in a way that makes them easier to digest, and you'll free up energy for eliminating waste and toxins, which leads to more energy, and also to weight loss.

Quite a few people have suggested this book to me, and so far I'm very impressed. My favorite bit, on whether people are designed to be meat-eaters:

Kids are the real test. Place a small child in a crib with a rabbit and an apple. If the child eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car.

They also question why we drink milk. If we needed it, how come women don't produce it all their lives? Milk is for babies. Even cows don't drink cows milk once they mature. I'm all for that.

As you may guess, these people are big on plants.
