Yeah, I remember that book. It was, "Fit for Life" by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. I believe they recommended nothing but fruit for breakfast. And, if I'm not mistaken, I believe he said we are not meant to eat meat because our teeth are not designed for tearing flesh. Our teeth are flat for grinding grains etc.. Well, that's just from memory.
The problem is: I don't think they had any special qualifications. What were they? I don't think they were doctors or nutritionists. And I think the book was geared toward weight loss. I have learned not to waste time with those types of books anymore. I agree, for sure, that not all books pan out. Especially those that seem more interested in marketing products than anything else. Many books today are nothing more than marketing vehicles for a long line of products.
