Review

"Scott Gerson is one of the few experts who could have done this: dig out the subtleties of Ayurveda that can tweak your metabolic balance and drop pounds while enhancing health and vitality."

"The Ayurvedic Guide to Diet and Weight Loss is a well-researched and practical compendium to our most important health concerns. It also contains an excellent overview of the entire Ayurvedic system of medicine. Dr. Scott Gerson has made a notable contribution to the existing literature on Ayurveda, adding a detailed scientific and clinical dimension that shows the depth and relevance of the Ayurvedic approach to right-living. The book greatly expands the field not only of Ayurveda, but can potentially revolutionize our entire approach to diet and health."
