This contains fundamental info on the benefits of a plant-based diet。 However, some of the recipes look promising after removing oil, salt, and sugar, which my doc recommended that I avoid。 I'd recommend this for anyone looking for healing and prevention from the top degenerative diseases, aka cancer, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, Alzheimer's, kidney disease。 There is additional information about chronic illnesses and frustrating conditions like hormone issues, skin issues, gut issues, This contains fundamental info on the benefits of a plant-based diet。 However, some of the recipes look promising after removing oil, salt, and sugar, which my doc recommended that I avoid。 I'd recommend this for anyone looking for healing and prevention from the top degenerative diseases, aka cancer, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease, Alzheimer's, kidney disease。 There is additional information about chronic illnesses and frustrating conditions like hormone issues, skin issues, gut issues, and auto-immune disorders。 。。。more

I think this is a great book。 It's full of incredibly useful information and everything you might want to know about a whole food plant-based lifestyle and how it can change your life and health for the better。 Dr。 Newman is a truly inspirational GP, author, and podcast host and I wish more doctors (all doctors) were like her。 Thank you, Gemma。 I think this is a great book。 It's full of incredibly useful information and everything you might want to know about a whole food plant-based lifestyle and how it can change your life and health for the better。 Dr。 Newman is a truly inspirational GP, author, and podcast host and I wish more doctors (all doctors) were like her。 Thank you, Gemma。 。。。more

As a nutritionist myself, I loved how The Plant Power Doctor is evidence-based and scientific while also accessible and interesting。 It's a truly compelling read and the recipes are delicious - I'm excited to try the Mushroom and White Bean mash next。 The food is as colourful as the book itself。Dr Gemma Newman covers the "why" as well as the "how to" - the practical tips, information on chronic diseases, case studies and recipes are all fantastic。 Her compassionate nature shines through the page As a nutritionist myself, I loved how The Plant Power Doctor is evidence-based and scientific while also accessible and interesting。 It's a truly compelling read and the recipes are delicious - I'm excited to try the Mushroom and White Bean mash next。 The food is as colourful as the book itself。Dr Gemma Newman covers the "why" as well as the "how to" - the practical tips, information on chronic diseases, case studies and recipes are all fantastic。 Her compassionate nature shines through the pages of this book and I loved her non-judgemental approach to eating more plants and living well。 Definitely recommend this book to everyone! 。。。more

This is whole food, plant food at its best and it is explained really well for those who are interested in adding plant-based foods into their diet or going totally plant-based。What I especially love about the book is that it uses mostly whole ingredients instead of pre-prepared and packaged foods。 I do draw the line at making my own cheese beyond a quickly-made mozzarella, and canning tomatoes but the more "ingredients" you use the better。 My one nephew says that I never have any food in my house, only ingredients!!!Read this book, savour it and then go veg。。。but be smart as living on chips and crisps is not what a plant-based diet is all about!As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube Millionaires/snowflakes etc。 " on Instagram and Twitter。。。 Get a real job, people!) so let's give itt🍌🍊🥥🍉🍑tttttttttttttttttttttttttttThis book is also cross reviewed at http://www。facebook。com/janetsbookcorner and https://janetcousineau。wixsite。com/we。。。 。。。more
