Item Description...
Conscious Eating has been referred to as the "Bible of Vegetarians," for both beginners and advanced students of health. This classic work in the field of live-food nutrition is an inspirational journey and a manual for life. Included is new information on enzymes, vegetarian nutrition for pregnancy, and an innovative international 14-day menu of gourmet, Kosher, vegetarian, live-food cuisine, plus 150 recipes.
"In this book, an expanded revision of his 1992 work, Cousens endeavors to make his readers aware of how their food choices affect their bodies, minds, emotions, and spiritual life. He emphasizes there is no one-diet-fits-all approach, but rather a consciousness on the part of the individual of what works. He includes information on the oxidative, autonomic, ayurvedic, anabolic-catabolic, endocrine, blood-type, and acid base diet systems. In personalizing a diet, the individual needs to answer these questions:
• Am I emotionally stable after eating?
• Do I have increased physical energy after eating?
• Am I craving any foods?
"Cousens details studies where poor diets were fed to indigenous groups such as the Kurds, Yemenites, and Zulus. The indigenous people studied had been introduced to highly refined carbohydrate foods and suffered from degenerative conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. He points to a diet of fast, frozen, and processed foods, adopted by Americans and peoples of most industrialized nations, as one that is inadequate. He characterizes this diet as one loaded with refined sugar, white flour, and pesticides.
"The author establishes guidelines for healthy eating by recommending that people consume natural, whole, and organic foods and that the diet be primarily fresh, live raw foods. He advocates a high-complex-carbohydrate, low-protein, and low-fat regimen with attention to receiving adequate sunlight. Deep breathing, bathing, and contact with nature in the form of gardening or hikes all have therapeutic effects.
"In this era where so many things are condensed or encapsulated, reading a book with 850 pages is a daunting task. In this case, it's worth the effort. In Conscious Eating Gabriel Cousens has compiled a handbook that emphasizes the benefits of a raw food diet. He has woven together many philosophies from around the world and incorporated them into a body-mind-spirit program that will be beneficial to the individual and to all mankind. The book is a valuable reference tool that belongs in every vegetarian's library."

 | changed my life - wish I had stuck with it Oct 22, 2008 |
| this, along with essence by a.h. almaas, living in the mountains near a lake, meditating, listening to meditation inducing cassette tapes, hiking in a beautiful place, working from home and learning and loving my job, all helped me cure anxiety. I went from panic attacks to blissful gratefulness, the most sublime state of being. | | | | Often Recommended Mar 24, 2008 |
Conscious Eating was required reading for me when I was studying for my Bachelors Degree in Holistic Nutrition. Up until that time I had never heard of the book or the author. How grateful I am in retrospect that this was a book I studied. The approach taken is varied and diverse. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Enzymes and the importance of maintaining a proper pH. The information in these chapters has influenced several nutritional supplement products that I have had the privilege to formulate (Enzymedica). Of special interest to me was the research the author did through his clinic on vegetarian and non vegetarian diets and the surprising results he discovered when measuring the individuals pH. It was not what I expected and so it has given me greater insight on the topic.
I always recommend this book to individuals looking for an well balanced approach to overall health.

This is the best book on health I have ever read! It is very well researched; discusses and compares many different cultures and historical writings about health. I am completely inspired by it and re read pages from it very often for inspiration. I love the way it is written and feel passionately about what I learned from it. Conscious Eating is not only good for each of us and our health, but for our environment. It should be required reading for everyone. Dr Gabriel Cousens is brilliant and generous with his wisdom, visionary in the scope of his ideas!
I have been eating a raw food diet for 3 years now and have so much energy I feel like I can almost fly!

| The old saying "you are what you eat" rings true. This book is highly recommended for anyone who EATS, as it brings greater awareness to what we are putting into our body temple when we have a meal or snack. Included are tasty recipes along with much valuable information. Also highly recommended would be Spiritual Nutrition by Gabriel Cousens. | | | | Terrific and practical dietary wisdom Nov 17, 2007 |
