Experience an inner and outer transformation
with David Zulberg's The Life-Transforming Diet. This simple, practical and anything-but-boring program is more than merely a diet. It is a lifestyle that you can live with, because you are empowered to choose what to eat - and when to eat it. Based on the wisdom of Maimonides (Rambam), one of the greatest Jewish sages who ever lived and the outstanding doctor of his time, the Life-Transforming Diet will give you the tools for optimum emotional and physical health, a more spiritual outlook and sustainable weight loss, no matter what your age, gender or occupation.

The Life-Transforming Diet offers you:
- gradual, step-by-step implementation of a new approach to eating: you don't go cold turkey

- theoretical and practical information, including insights into how we form bad habits and tips for laying the foundation for new, better ones

- a simple, quick and well-rounded exercise program that doesn't require a financial commitment

- a do-it-yourself support system that takes only a few minutes a day

- advice for Shabbos and other dieting challenges

- an intelligent and realistic maintenance program

Praise for the Life-Transforming Diet:
"David Zulberg has made a valuable contribution by the publication of his masterful work, The Life-Transforming Diet. He has done an important service in providing a popular setting and scintillating attractiveness for what is usually resisted for its restrictiveness and deprivation. He has endowed regulated behavior with an aura of fun and excitement." - Rabbi Yisroel Belsky, Rosh Yeshiva of Torah Vodaas and Senior Halachic Consultant for the OU

"Having had the privilege, for the past decade, of working with people suffering from eating disorders, it is a particular simcha for me to see that David Zulberg has put out a monumental work entitled The Life-Transforming Diet. I am confident that this book will be received and will replace secular books of this genre. All who read it fulfill the mitzvah, "You shall greatly beware of your souls." -Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser, Author, lecturer and eating disorders counselor

" David Zulberg has taken Maimonides' instructions for proper nutrition, accompanied by other suggestions for proper living, and made them easily understood . It is a major contribution to a field where there is so much controversy and confusion." - Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., director of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Aliquippa, PA

"This book provides both the rationale and the practical advice needed to begin and maintain a sensible nutritional program to optimize weight control and general health. Highly recommended." - Rabbi Akiva Tatz, M.D., well-known lecturer and author of Living Inspired, Worldmask, and Letters to a Buddhist Jew

"The Life-Transforming Diet has presented a program based on Maimonides' teachings on health [which] addresses dietary, exercise and behavioral aspects of eating. The importance of gradual and sustained changes is emphasized in this book". - Dr. Charlene Wolberg, medical director of Linksfield Med-Clinic, South Africa

"This book goes back to the building blocks of exercise and diet. It makes it easy for everyone. Now you can't say I don't have time, because the Life-Transforming Diet teaches how a little goes a long way." - Natasha Louw, Hons., biokineticist, qualified health and exercise expert

If you think dieting just isn't for you, read what people on the Life-Transforming Diet used to say, and are saying now:

"Although I'm an avid reader of diet books, I myself have never lost weight permanently."

"After losing and regaining thousands of pounds, I finally found an answer to my prayers: a way of life that is healthy, spiritual, fulfilling, and that facilitates weight loss."

"I feel tired a lot of the time, and my energy levels are low."

"Since I have been on this program I have seen a major change in my general mood and emotional reactions. I am much more patient and much less impulsive."

"I can't sustain complicated and time-consuming exercise workouts."

"The basic, well-rounded Life-Transforming exercise program is not about complexity but rather simplicity and practicality."

"Each diet I've been on has had its positive aspects, but ultimately I felt bored and deprived by their monotonous repetitiveness."

"On the Life-Transforming Diet, I am able to customize my own program to suit my schedule and interests exactly the way I like it."

"It's impossible for Shabbos observers to be on a diet."

"The best part for me is that I don't dread Shabbos meals."

5 out of 5 stars Carson's Bookshelf - The Life-Transforming Diet 10/11/2007
Reviewer: Michael J. Carson (Reviewer's Bookwatch)
Based on health and psychological principles of the Medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides and other classical sources, "The Life-Transforming Diet by David J. Zulberg also incorporates contemporary health and nutritional principles from modern medicine. Zulberg presents a gradual, step-by-step implementation of dieting that does not require the trauma of 'going cold turkey' in terms of altering food consumption. Providing practical and applicable insights into how bad habits are formed, and presenting 'user friendly' tips for replacing them with good eating and health inducing habits, "The Life-Transforming Diet" includes a well-rounded exercise program that is economical, simple, quick and easy. Of special note is a 'Do-It-Yourself' support system that can be conveniently accomplished every day in only minutes. "The Life-Transforming Diet" also addresses the need for a realistic maintenance program so that the health and excess weight goals once achieved, do not regress. Especially appropriate and strongly recommended for those seeking to remain kosher while addressing their dietary needs, "The Life-Transforming Diet" has been approved by rabbis, doctors nutritionists.

5 out of 5 stars A-Z in health 09/07/2007
Reviewer: Ronit (dini.uk@googlemail.com) (England)
This book is not only a book with Maimonides principles. It is not only a book with an excellent diet program. It is not only a book with an innovative perspective of 'mind-involvement' This book seems to me to include everything from A-Z in health, and beyond. It is a book that is meant to TRANSFORM your life - and endeavors to do so FROM SCRATCH! Almost like an encyclopedia of health guidelines and a reference book that is there for the person in every possible life situation involving food. I sincerely hope that your book will become a classic, one that is found in every home…

Reviewer: Leeron (RSA)
I believe this book will revolutionize the way both the religious and non-religious world relate to food and ultimately to themselves. Through following this program I am starting to see how my eating choices impact me on a physical, ethical and spiritual level…

5 out of 5 stars Life transforming 09/05/2007
Reviewer: Robyn (South Africa)
The Life Transforming Diet is nothing less than that, life transforming. I began the diet somewhat skeptical 'after many unsuccessful attempts at unsustainable diets'. But I sure became a quick believer and possibly even a groupie. The phases are brilliantly structured in a way that makes them easy to begin and easy to sustain. Already in the few weeks I have been on the program I have seen and felt a remarkable difference with my energy levels, my food choices and my lack of cravings. I feel empowered, understanding the reasons behind healthy choices, as apposed to just being handed a list of what’s taboo. My friends and family are telling me I am glowing. This program is truly life transforming because it hasn't just affected my way of eating and viewing food but it has affected every single aspect of my life. I feel more disciplined, more motivated and totally liberated. Instead of working for my body I am getting my body to work for me. I wish you so much success and I look forward to watching the impact this book is going to have on the entire globe.

5 out of 5 stars Lost over 60 pounds 09/05/2007
Reviewer: Osnat (RSA)
What makes this diet different from all the other diets I have endured? I think it is the brilliance of the ‘Subconscious Accumulation Process’ to form new positive habits in order to fight the old established ones. I didn’t have to eliminate everything in one go. The emphasis is not on ‘willpower’ the focus is rather on the gradual development of good habits. It is so clever to quietly cultivate positive habits and to help them grow until they are big enough and strong enough to ‘fizzle out’ the former monster ‘masters’. Becoming aware of the ability of my ‘creative’ mind to predominate my decisions has been very enlightening and I have never been so calm about food and food choices. I don’t really feel like any of my old temptations and I’m not waiting for the opportunity to ‘break out’. I have not felt deprived or trapped – in fact I feel energized – and most importantly it took me 6 months to do it!
