Review
"When you sit down to a meal (regardless of whether you need to lose weight), what could be lovelier than 'munching on a rainbow?' That's what Mindy Weisel and her co-authors recommend in 'The 7-Day Color Diet,' an updated and expanded version of an eating plan Weisel devised nearly a quarter-century ago. Weisel's plan promotes good health and weight loss through sound eating by concentrating on the color of the foods you eat, not on the calories or the amount of carbohydrates.... Weisel provides sample menus, beginning with a 'white day' for 'visual fasting' (consuming such nonetheless delightful dishes as a vanilla-honey milkshake, Russian mushroom soup and white garlic chicken), followed by days of 'adding glorious color after color, as you lose pound after pound.' She also includes dozens of easily prepared but elegantly delicious recipes guaranteed to keep dieters committed."

"New Yorker Carolyn Miller, 32, a registered dietician. The fat-melting powers of extra fruits and vegetables helped her shed 37 pounds. 'It's foolproof - you will lose weight,' says Miller, co-author of The 7-Day Color Diet."

"It has been proven time and time again that eating a variety of colors, from leafy greens and deep red tomatoes and berries to oranges and carrots, is the best way to maintain your health. Celebrated artist Mindy Weisel, together with her daughters Carolyn, a nutritionist, and Jessica, an esthetician, has taken that concept one step further to create 'The 7-Day Color Diet: The New Way to Health and Beauty,' complete with a diet plan, a maintenance plan, more than 100 recipes and seven days of colorful beauty treatments and tips....Easy, fun and filling, 'The 7-Day Color Diet' tastes good, looks good and is good for you. And if it helps you lose weight, what more could you ask for?"

"The lowdown: Overall, the diet is well balanced, according to Tammy Baker, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. 'Plus, it promotes weight loss in a fun way,' says Baker....
The bottom line: 'I'd recommend it for someone who is already exercising every day,' says Baker.'"

"In some quarters, color-based diets -- those that promote eating fruits and vegetables spanning the broadest possible range of colors -- have become a favored way of ensuring that the body gets the full spectrum of nutrients it needs for optimal health. Last year, Washington D.C. artist Mindy Weisel and her daughter Carolyn, a clinical nutritionist, published 'The 7-Day Color Diet,' a follow-up of sorts to Mindy's 1980 tome, 'The Rainbow Diet.'"

"Leave it to an artist to bring eating back to something beautiful. We really need more positive experiences with food and this kind of plan can make you feel good again about eating."

"Color, flavor, and savor become the key words in Mindy Weisel's artful view of culinary delights."
Joan Nathan, food critic
It has taken an artist to create a truly positive approach to 'dieting!' Where food is concerned, color brings beauty along with nutrition. Two weeks with a rainbow in your kitchen should reawaken your senses to the glories of food and the many joys of eating.
Johanna H. Roth, R.D., consulting nutritionist in the foreword to The 7-Day Color Diet
