The UN-Diet Diet is a health reclamation strategy. It is designed to give the participant simple and effective tools to aid in improving overall health, effectively deal with weight management issues, and to serve as a guide for empowered aging. The program is aimed at those over the age of 55 with existing health compromise. It examines the true genesis of both health and disease through the lens of our evolutionary footprint, drilling down to the essence of what it means to be alive. It is here within the principles which create and maintain life, that we also find the keys to health and longevity.

Read an Excerpt

We have been so conditioned to tie well-being to pills and/or altering our eating habits that we instinctively look for a medication or diet to solve our health problems hoping that directional change will miraculously offset years of accumulated insult and neglect. The truth of it is, the more we come face to face with life’s challenges but fail to resolve them, the easier it becomes to sidestep the warnings than it is to act, so we end up sliding deeper into that pit of denial or regret.

In purchasing a book called the Un-Diet Diet, I am assuming that this is likely not your first rodeo; you have already come face to face with the pressure to change, felt the pain, made what you thought were the right moves but inevitably ending up back at the same place. After each bout, even though you feel further depleted and a little more discouraged, you keep looking for something better. As such, you plunge down the latest rabbit hole, only to find the frustration of repeating things you know don’t work… because you have done them before. At the end of the day, as a matter of course, you tend to slide back into old routines and habits only to emerge at a familiar crossroads going nowhere.

You want to scream, “What the hell am I doing, and why is it not working?”

Einstein supposedly said something like, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result.”

Review: “Who is this program for? Frankly, this is designed to be of benefit to just about anyone! If you are chronically unwell and want to experience your world again as it was intended, the Un- Diet Diet program has the potential to put you on a track towards rebuilding your health or, at worst, improving it.”

 

Reading this made me feel like I was taking a course on the health care system, world ideologies through time, and the myths of age and disease. It’s quite involved and lengthy.  It certainly takes a while to sift through the loads of information in it.

 

What does it mean to be healthy? The author relays a lot of statistical data, patient examples, and population beliefs to answer this.

 

This book is an overload of information, some of which was rather interesting, but I felt that most of it was tedious. I liked that the author was able to insert a level of wit into the writing, which made it a little less humdrum. The author uses a lot of examples to explain his theories and concepts. Like I said, there’s a lot of information in these pages and some may even find some encouragement in the patients’ stories, but I honestly didn’t get as much from this book as I thought I would. Perhaps if this would’ve been a little easier to read, then I probably wouldn’t have felt so bogged down by it. It almost seemed like this wasn’t written for the everyday reader. It seemed like you almost had to be a scholar for it.

 

This book may help some people understand the concepts and theories within if those people take the time and effort to properly invest in it.
