This will not be for everybody as it is not your typical diet book. No menus, no phases, no recipes. It is a spiritual book more than than a diet how-to.You get basic advice that your doctor told you : exercice, stop smoking, don't overdue coffee or alcohol, eat your fruits and veggies, stop eating junk food and of course, drink eight glasses of water a day. The section on exercice does give you basic moves but note that there are no pictures in the kindle edition so some of the exercices might be difficult to visualize.Although I doubt that the chapters on the way of Buddha, as it translate to diet, or the cosmic history of water from the big bang to Herodes will help me loose weight, i was entertained. I also liked the sections on tobacco, caffeine and alcohol : the authors take time to give you historical background, science facts and, in the case of tobacco and alcohol, some pointed ideas on how to stop (or limit) your consumption.The water diet encourages you to change your life from within so that you will make the better choices for yourself.  It's a soft sell, and by that, I mean that you are not required to change drastically all your foods,  start an exhausting exercice program or start restricting calories. I found the positive message motivating.The table of contents should have been hyperlinked for easier navigation.
