Considering that this book is titled “The Super Antioxidant Diet”, I was surprised to find how little information there was on antioxidants. My wife likes its low calorie recipes. However, if you want to learn more on antioxidant foods, this is not the book. Part III, chapters 15 to 23, is not even about food. The rest of the book’s title, “Nutrition Guide. A Health Plan for the body, mind and spirit” is what the book is about. To me it seems this book was written as a low calorie food health guide and then wrapped with the term “antioxidant” to increase sales.
Most of the book is recipes. The word ORAC appears once and there is no comparative rating of any foods so as to define what is a “super antioxidant food”. There is not even a list of super-antioxidant foods. None of the recipes has an antioxidant score, while you can find a table with the score for 5 recipes for a range of elements, vitamins, cholesterol, calories etc.
In conclusion, this author should refund me, as this cover title is false advertising. I am disappointed in the content. This is lazy mass marketing at its worst!

I purchased the Kindle edition of this book and read it in one sitting. It’s easy to do that since most of the book is comprised of recipes. Although there’s solid advice regarding food choices that are antioxidant in nature, I found the book to be annoying in the sense that it ventured into other realms of health. It’s almost like it wanted to be a self-help book, a spiritual awareness manual, and even an autobiography of the primary author’s many unfortunate medical conditions that were (of course) all helped or eliminated by strictly following the diet. The chapter regarding emotions was especially annoying.
For people who don’t live near a city where you have access to a wide variety of health stores, markets, and the like, you’ll likely find this plan hard to follow. I also thought it was an especially financially challenging way to eat. In my opinion, you can eat healthy without having to embrace exotic, transnational fare.
This book was also repetitive in the sense that author repeated herself over & over. It could have been much smaller had the editing been more vigorous & and the original prose kept brevid.
As far as the transition to the Kindle, I was very satisfied. There was only one small section that had cut-off text, but you could still follow the information via context. Charts (i.e., BMI, menu plans) were scanned intact, and were easily legible even at smaller font sizes.
As a patient care provider in the clinic day-in and day-out, I do feel understanding the role of antioxidants in the diet is important, but despite the good intentions of the authors, I found nothing new or novel in this book.

Glowing supple skin is one of the first changes I observed (since I am trained skin care expert)from following Robin Jeeps eating guidlines and taking Dr. Couey’s enzyme therapy. But the reduction in joint pain, in as little as 4 days I could only describe as miraculous. Personally, I love the science behind the information. It feels so great to get precise answers, based on my individual blood test results since there is so much confusing and contradictory information out there. Robin’s simple tip about re-commiting to the program each week is a great tool for focus and therefore success.

I am so exited about this book which has so much information in it. It has helped me to look at our eating habits and the way we were taught to eat. This has opened my eyes to a much better way of nourishing my body. As the years pass on, I realize that age, good health and a strong body & mind are the most important to us all. I am thankful this information is available for us to learn. My goal is to incorporate as much healthy foods as I can each day.

I found this book to be a great book for people who would like to eat more plant food without plunging into a 100% raw diet. I am very impressed with the fact that Robin also worked with Dr. Furhman. I like how Robin includes four different diets: This is important, because our protein needs differ, and some people cannot just jump right into a raw vegan diet.
I also like how Robin includes so many of her personal stories, like how she went to Europe with only $35 in her purse, and ended up marrying a European prince! The book is filled with anecdotes as we follow not only her health journey, but spiritual. The spiritual chapter on forgiveness alone makes the book worth buying. My mother’s final words to me, on her death bed, were about the importance of forgiveness. She felt that this led to her cancer. Robin includes a very simple exercise to help you forgive the people who have hurt you the most. This worked for Robin, even with someone who had kidnapped her daughter!
The book is also a great reference book, with details on supplements and nutritional properties of food, and even a great recipe for feeding your dog a superantioxidant diet! (This healed her dog of kidney problems.) There are also chapters on other crucial aspects of health, including breathing, exercise, emotions, and more.
