A really quick read because this is essentially a cookbook。 Nothing new here， but it’s well laid-out and the text preceding the recipes is solid and easy to understand

I picked this up in a little free library and it is one of the worst cookbooks I have read。 Note "for beginners" in the title。 Nearly every recipe is overly simplistic， lacks inspiration and flavor， and doesn't deliver on providing lots of ready-to-eat leftovers for the week。 Some recipes will even lead you astray。 "Chickpea Paste" is a hummus without tahini but with onions。 Skip it and just buy some decent hummus， or find a real hummus recipe。 "Lemon Ginger Honey Shrub" is not a shrub， and isn' I picked this up in a little free library and it is one of the worst cookbooks I have read。 Note "for beginners" in the title。 Nearly every recipe is overly simplistic， lacks inspiration and flavor， and doesn't deliver on providing lots of ready-to-eat leftovers for the week。 Some recipes will even lead you astray。 "Chickpea Paste" is a hummus without tahini but with onions。 Skip it and just buy some decent hummus， or find a real hummus recipe。 "Lemon Ginger Honey Shrub" is not a shrub， and isn't even an effective way to create healthy tasty beverages。 Some recipes suggest eating tough fibrous vegetables raw or blended into smoothies， or cooking and mashing softer vegetables into a mush with beans or potatoes。 This is not a way to encourage enjoyment of vegetables - this is a misguided attempt to disguise them。Most main dishes involve fish or meat， with the "vegan option" entailing just leaving out the fish or meat item， without replacing it with any plant-based protein。 No tofu or plant-based meat-analogs are included， in fact tofu and tempeh are listed on the 'good' anti-inflammatory list AND the 'caution' list - the authors can't seem to decide。 One "vegan" recipe even calls for chicken broth。 Breakfast suggestions are all low in protein and high in sugars and fats。The authors devote a lot of space to complicated weekly plans with lists and advanced prep in the name of saving time during the week。 Even if you are the kind of person who likes to commit to every meal choice for a week at a time and never cook spontaneously， the plan is not laid out clearly and depends on your lifestyle and appetite being similar to the author's。 The best thing to do with this book is consult the bibliography， and go straight to the source material。 。。。more

oofI've had my eye on this for over a year now， hoping it would help my chronic inflammation but no it's mostly useless。 It's more of the same nonsense of "exercise more" and "drink more water" and "sleep well" on top of teaching you how to meal plan。 Look， meal planning is great and I think a lot of people can benefit from it， not from a diet perspective but because choosing what to eat every single day is a nightmare。 It can also help diminish food waste which is always a plus。 On that front， oofI've had my eye on this for over a year now， hoping it would help my chronic inflammation but no it's mostly useless。 It's more of the same nonsense of "exercise more" and "drink more water" and "sleep well" on top of teaching you how to meal plan。 Look， meal planning is great and I think a lot of people can benefit from it， not from a diet perspective but because choosing what to eat every single day is a nightmare。 It can also help diminish food waste which is always a plus。 On that front， it's a decent book！ A book to help handle chronic inflammation？ Not so much！ One of the first foods my doctor told me to remove from my diet is mushrooms， and these recipes are FULL of them so excuse me if I'm doubting any science that may have been consulted。Some of the recipes do look good！ It's not a bad cookbook， but it's a bad anti-inflammatory cookbook。 。。。more

This book is fantastic。 The recipes are easy and good and there is a lot of other information 。 I didn’t follow the “meal plans” but using the recipes here and incorporating some of my own with the suggested foods I not only lost 20 lbs I also changed my life。 No more swollen painful ankles。

Well presented， with good informationI’ve been asked by my doc to try the Anti-Inflammatory diet。 This is the second book I’ve looked through and is VERY much better than the first one （the one for less than smart people）。 This book is going to be one of my best resources。 The information is straight-forward， easy to understand and with some common-sense things too。 Caveats to The Rules are put forward - this may work for you， or this may not be for everybody。 I have been on a gluten free and da Well presented， with good informationI’ve been asked by my doc to try the Anti-Inflammatory diet。 This is the second book I’ve looked through and is VERY much better than the first one （the one for less than smart people）。 This book is going to be one of my best resources。 The information is straight-forward， easy to understand and with some common-sense things too。 Caveats to The Rules are put forward - this may work for you， or this may not be for everybody。 I have been on a gluten free and dairy free diet for a long time due to allergies， so there actually aren’t ingredients that were unfamiliar to me， and even in that list， there’s nothing terribly exotic or expensive。 The most expensive thing on the menu from this will be the salmon。 I looked through the shopping lists and I have about 70% or more of the spices and things on the list。 I liked that the author doesn’t expect you to be 100% compliant or extremely rigid within the constraints of the meal plan。 She pointed out several times that it is a process， that you have to find what works for you。 She encourages you to find someone to help hold you accountable - but also to cheer for you on your successes。 One that stuck with me is she reminds you to look at the bigger picture - you are ‘consciously redirecting your eating patterns to reduce chronic inflammation over time’。 It’s not a miracle cure， but it can help。 Good luck！ 。。。more

I bought this for the recipes and the two week meal plan to get started。 Some of the recipes look quite tasty and the info about what to eat seems helpful， but not really new or surprising （thus the 2 stars）。 I was surprised when I saw “banana-oat muffins” for breakfast。 That’s it - just one banana oat muffin， that the book calculates to be 170 calories。 Another breakfast is “sweet potato frittata，” which sounds a lot better than muffins for breakfast but is only 220 calories。 This intrigued me， I bought this for the recipes and the two week meal plan to get started。 Some of the recipes look quite tasty and the info about what to eat seems helpful， but not really new or surprising （thus the 2 stars）。 I was surprised when I saw “banana-oat muffins” for breakfast。 That’s it - just one banana oat muffin， that the book calculates to be 170 calories。 Another breakfast is “sweet potato frittata，” which sounds a lot better than muffins for breakfast but is only 220 calories。 This intrigued me， so I added up all the calories for each meal for each day。 Most days are under 1200 and I was really surprised that some days， the meal plan adds up to only 930！ 930 calories！ The most calories for any day is 1650 - much more doable than 930 or 1150。 There are no suggestions for snacks or how to keep your body from going into starvation， which it most certainly will if you don’t eat even 1000 calories。 It is hard enough already to give up sugar and processed foods - I wish the authors had at least made it easier to feel full/satiated so as to help us stick with the AI diet。 I was also surprised to find avocado mash on bread as a breakfast on the meal plan。 Bread is one of those things that we’re supposed to eat in moderation， or not at all。 But if I buy a loaf of bread and eat 2 slices a week， per the plan， the bread is mostly going to go stale。 I think a lot more thought could have gone into these meal plans。 。。。more

I liked the information about an anti-inflammatory diet。 I've followed the author's recommendations for things I should eat and I've seen improvement in my body on many levels including deep sleep， less joint pain， and more energy。 I liked the information about an anti-inflammatory diet。 I've followed the author's recommendations for things I should eat and I've seen improvement in my body on many levels including deep sleep， less joint pain， and more energy。 。。。more

I have read several books on Inflammatory diets and this by far is the best for me。 It is easy to read and the diet is excellent。 Unlike others I have read this diet included gluten-free in almost every recipe - thank you so much。 Also most of the recipes were made with food items that are easy to buy and most I already have in my pantry。 It also gives a lot of tips and substitutes which work in the recipes。 I read the Kindle edition but am going to also purchase the actual book itself。 Highly r I have read several books on Inflammatory diets and this by far is the best for me。 It is easy to read and the diet is excellent。 Unlike others I have read this diet included gluten-free in almost every recipe - thank you so much。 Also most of the recipes were made with food items that are easy to buy and most I already have in my pantry。 It also gives a lot of tips and substitutes which work in the recipes。 I read the Kindle edition but am going to also purchase the actual book itself。 Highly recommend if you are looking for an anti-inflammatory diet。 。。。more

I thought this would be more focused on the AIP Protocol， instead of general ideas to beat inflammation。

Good/helpful charts and lists。Some good-looking recipes， including a Vegetarian/Vegan section。

OkaySo the recipes seem good。 But the meal plan is extensive and for two people there would be a bunch left over and may cause waste。

Needs to be updated for 2020It was a good read about ingredients but not accurate enough for 2020 ，most were good but I see some could use updating to today。

Not bafRecipes use a lot of canned beans and lentils which are high in sodium。 A couple of recipes which might have been added would be how to cook dried beans。

I liked that one of the authors is a registered dietitian， not just a self-styled "nutritionist" which anybody can call themself。 Refreshingly research-based， not BS-based like most anti-inflammatory books。 I liked that one of the authors is a registered dietitian， not just a self-styled "nutritionist" which anybody can call themself。 Refreshingly research-based， not BS-based like most anti-inflammatory books。 。。。more

How to Fight Inflammation。。 This 35 pages long book covers meal plans， ingredients list， and outlines for meals。The author touches on inflammation， and that it is basically caused by too much sugar and processed foods。The author also stress that inflammation can be reversed with correct eating habits and exercise。Overall， an informative read， follow the plan in the book， and reduce the inflammation。The narrator， Stark Wilson， did well。Note:"This audio book was provided by the author， narrator， o How to Fight Inflammation。。 This 35 pages long book covers meal plans， ingredients list， and outlines for meals。The author touches on inflammation， and that it is basically caused by too much sugar and processed foods。The author also stress that inflammation can be reversed with correct eating habits and exercise。Overall， an informative read， follow the plan in the book， and reduce the inflammation。The narrator， Stark Wilson， did well。Note:"This audio book was provided by the author， narrator， or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review。" 。。。more
