Product Description
* Do you drink coffee in the morning to get your day started?
* Do you work through lunch?
* Do you crave sweets or a nap in the afternoon?
* Have you tried losing weight in the past three years and given up?
* Do you tend to have bouts of worry, anxiety, and depression?
* Do you have difficulty remembering things?
If you do, this book will help you restore balance to your daily life. By following its simple instructions for eating foods appropriate to each season, adjusting your diet to your body type, eating at the optimal time of the day, and exercising without triggering a survival response, you will not only lose excess pounds and maintain your ideal weight, you will generate energy and power in your life.
Derived from a 5,000-year-old traditional medical system, the 3-season diet does what no other diet will: work along with the body's natural response to the changing seasons, feeding it what it craves and can best utilize at all times. In spring, for instance, we want salads, berries, and leafy greens, a naturally low-fat diet. And in winter, we yearn for hearty soups, nuts, warm grains, and high-fat and protein-rich foods such as fish and meat. Following the foods that nature provides seasonally creates the best diet for balancing weight, mood, and energy for anyone living anywhere on earth.

 The 3 Season Diet by Dr. John Douillard, 2008-06-16
There are 29 of us (of a hatha yoga class) reading and reviewing this book together this summer (2008) as a summer read project. We have begun about 3 weeks ago, implementing the suggestions to diet, lifestyle, eating patterns. We meet weekly and share ideas and cover new chapter(s)in the book. Difficult to predict what will happen by the end of the summer, but one participant has already completed the book, implemented the practices recommendations and another participant has already lost 4 pounds. Our main target is not weight loss though, but improving overall health. I would recommend this book as a good study group book, an introduction into Ayurveda, it is delivered in western terms without all the Indian words and terms so that the average westerner who is not necessarily not on spiritual path (per se) can grasp the velevance a improve their daily health regimen. We are starting very soon to cook in the sessions, learning to make ghee, buying Indian dal and mung bean in gross and dividing it up, etc. learning a different approach to food prep and healthy nutuition rich foods and eating.

fantastic!, 2007-10-18
This is a fantastic book on nutrition and health. I recommend it to all. While reading this book, I was able to pinpoint my eating behaviors that led to my cravings, and make changes to my diet to end them.

Great Common Sense "Diet" Book, 2007-06-27
Excellent book with a lot of common sense lifestyle suggestions (that are easy to follow) and a big picture overview of why his guidelines are so important to your overall health and well-being. Would recommend it to anyone!

Great Book - a novel approach that gets results, 2007-05-14
The teachings of ayurveda have been around for 5,000 years and in this book Douillard brilliantly some of these lessons to light for those of us in the Western world. Although some of his ideas fly in the face of traditional American dietary advice (but what is that anyway), the results of following his program are undeniable. I have been on the health and nutrition bandwagon for a long time and this book has helped me reach my weight loss goals better than anything else I have tried. I have lost 35 pounds in 3 months and feel great. It truly is a lifestyle change and re-education, not just another one of the countless fad diets that are out there. His program makes a lot of sense once you are willing to get past your own ego and the "logic" of the dietary advice that we have been misled with in this country for so long. Buy this book, check your ego at the door, and be read to lose weight and feel great!

 Conflicts with much in recent understanding, 2006-11-02
For any author on nutrition to suggest that we start our day (and our metabolisms!) with little or nothing for breakfast automatically brings into question everything else in the book, unfortunately. The list of optimal foods per season is probably very good, but I was put off by the lack of metabolic common sense from the get-go.
