Great meals, great food, plus more prayer, natural hygiene rituals, more exercise, you get the idea. The schedule would be what you might expect to find at a Christian retreat. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

“Perfect Weight America” is “The Maker’s Diet” specifically applied to the problem of weight. It’s based on the idea that everyone has a perfect weight, and that that is different for each person. “God created everyone differently, and our bodies change shape as we grow older,” he says on the Perfect Weight America Web site. “I don’t think anyone can tell you what your perfect weight should be.”

Fair enough. There’s a fitness component to the program with the acronym FIT, which stands for Functional Interval Training. It’s functional training because you train movements rather than muscles. Interval training alternates short periods of high-intensity exercise (intervals) with “active rest” or low-intensity recovery times—it’s generally a very effective way to work out. Jordan has a series of short exercise videos on his Perfect Weight America Web site to give you a sense of what’s in store.

Perfect Weight America isn’t a bad book at all. He takes a few swipes at Atkins, but they’re not mean-spirited or ill-informed like many other books.

For the most part, the eating program is spot-on and pretty much what you’d expect from the author of The Maker’s Diet : low sugar, vanishingly low amounts of processed foods, and plenty of meat, fish, vegetables, fiber, fruit, and nuts. There’s no way you could go wrong with that.

I particularly like his section on Nutritional Typing and his recognition that different people will fare differently on different proportions of carbs, protein, and fat (but that no one fares well on high-sugar foods). And his list of the most healing foods on the planet closely parallels much of what I’ve written since The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.

The nutritional information in The Maker’s Diet (and in Perfect Weight) trumps the garbage pseudoscience in The 5-Factor Diet or The 3-Hour Diet any day of the week. Rubin knows his stuff. He debt to the Weston Price Foundation is in evidence everywhere (and that’s a good thing!). He’s a fan of grass-fed beef, isn’t afraid of saturated fat, doesn’t think the sun rises and sets on soy. Not being a born-again Christian, I just have trouble with the rest of it.

Maker’s Diet and Perfect Weight as a Lifestyle: Who It Works for, Who Should Look Elsewhere

If you’re a fan of nutritional or Metabolic Typing®, you’ll know what I mean when I say the eating portion of this book is well suited to “Protein Types.” This is not a program for vegetarians. Those who thrive on higher-meat, higher-fat diets with plenty of vegetables will find a lot to their liking here. The program isn’t as
