The Beginner's Guide to Natural Living: How to Cultivate a More Natural Lifestyle to Lose Weight, Prevent Degenerative Disease, Improve Your Energy And Attain Vibrant Health

by Larry Cook

The Beginner's Guide to Natural Living is a straightforward, well-researched, comprehensive and easy to understand step-by-step guide to the hows and whys of nearly every aspect of natural living. This book is an inspiring wealth of information, and includes everything you need to know to implement lasting change in your life and your health. Author Larry Cook, former publisher of two popular natural living magazines, has finally encapsulated his in-depth knowledge on natural living in book form. This book presents clear guidance on everything from what to eat—and what NOT to eat—to how to choose quality natural products, which supplements to use on a regular basis, how to chose a natural doctor, why to go to a holistic dentist, and why and how to detoxify your body. It should also inspire you to implement a confidence building exercise routine. And just as important as the how is the why—the book provides a thought-provoking exposé of the pervasive, toxic manipulation of our food supply as well as an exploration of the realities of conventional medicine, which uses a disease management and drug therapy model while simultaneously suppressing the use of effective, all-natural treatment modalities. To help you further your education in all of these matters, a thorough list of book suggestions is provided throughout the book and collected in the Bibliography. Larry's detailed explanations and generous advice (right down to shopping lists, recipes and meal plans) make this guide an absolute gem if you want to know where to begin to confidently change your lifestyle. Buy it today, follow his trustworthy guidance, and begin reaping the many rewards of living the natural lifestyle!

A quick introduction to living a healthier lifestyle. Provides black and white photos of suggested foods and supplements, and books and website links to check out if more detailed information is desired.

I've finally finished this one! I know it took me months, but it was still a good read. It serves as the perfect reference regarding natural living. With the internet usually being the first device to look things up on the topic, this book's advantage lies in the compact format. If you want to quickly refresh your memory regarding a specific subject, you can quickly turn to this little guide that's full of information which is still quite accurate - even ten years after being published! I'll definitely keep this book. :D

Great book if you are looking to learn about what you are eating. I read this book years ago when i first started eating organic and caring about what i put in my body. The author is a vegan something i am not and never will be but this book does open your eyes on how what you are eating effects your body. Definitely changed the way I eat forever.

Fascinating, and yet frigtening book as far as exposing the realities of living in today's world - the 'SAD' diet, convenience foods, pesticides, poor water quality, etc. Enjoyed re-learning some things i already knew, and learning new angles of thought and avenues to travel.

Another often overlooked book. Perhaps due to it being poorly marketed.
Great book to get you started on your goal of natural living.

Cook's Beginner's Guide to Natural Living seems to be a pretty good introduction to the subject. It covers a lot of basic information and points to a number of other resources available.
