460.0. "Fit for Life?" by OCTAVE::ISLER () Tue May 30 1989 14:56

    I recently started reading the book Fit For Life. It is different
    certainly, since the writer claims that most common everyday foods
    that we eat are not really good for you. For example, meat and
    potatoes, cereal and milk, chicken and rice, etc. 
    
    The rule is that protein and starch should not be consumed since
    the stomach produces acid to digest the first, and alkaline the
    second. And since they nutralize each other, the stomach produces
    even more, as a result the food does not get digested properly.
    
    Some of this food still remains as toxins in our body, and that's
    one reason that people are overweight. The body retains water to
    nutrilize the toxins. 
    
    Anyway, I don't mean to summarize the book here. This theory makes
    sense, sort of. But I am not sure how true it is. What I would like
    to know is if anybody has read the book, and got any feedback from
    an expert whether it is credible or not.

	The book and the eating plan is a scam.
    
    	I did a report on it for a class and called it "Fit For Laughs".
