This is basically an elimination diet book by a nutritionist who writes like an influencer。 She talks up her program quite a lot and then you’re supposed to do it once or twice a year for three weeks。 She eliminates gluten, sugar, pesticides, GMOs, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, white rice and refined starches (sort of — some recipes call for gluten free flour and unless you make your own it’s full of white rice, GMO corn starch, potato starch and other highly processed ingredients) and other things。 This is basically an elimination diet book by a nutritionist who writes like an influencer。 She talks up her program quite a lot and then you’re supposed to do it once or twice a year for three weeks。 She eliminates gluten, sugar, pesticides, GMOs, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, white rice and refined starches (sort of — some recipes call for gluten free flour and unless you make your own it’s full of white rice, GMO corn starch, potato starch and other highly processed ingredients) and other things。 She does not eliminate eggs or soy (as long as it’s organic and non-GMO) or some other common allergens。 While she uses buzzwords like plant forward, she does use animal products throughout。 Her recipes call for lots of ingredients like vanilla protein powder and cocoa nibs。 Most of her breakfast recipes are smoothies with expensive ingredients。 Those used to the traditional standard American diet (SAD) are not likely to enjoy the recipes, though they are better for you。 The author is a fairly young woman who seems to have plenty of money for her food choices。 I’ve fed our large family very healthy whole organic foods for decades on next to nothing so I know it can be done, but the book feels a little tone deaf for the readers who may struggle to eat the way she recommends。 Also, many readers may have different needs and lifestyles than hers。 If you need lower carbs, more protein, vegan, keto, etc it will be a miss。 This wasn’t a good fit for me personally。 After middle age we women need a lot fewer carbs and more protein and healthy fats than this type of eating, for one thing。 I already knew the nutritional information。 I also just plain didn’t find the recipes appetizing。 All that said, if you want to just eat much more healthy than the SAD short term to see if you have any food sensitivities or to reset your health and you are new to it, this will be a good primer。 I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more
